"Park the Bus" is a defensive strategy used in soccer where a team focuses on defending rather than attacking. The primary goal is to prevent the opposing team from scoring by placing many players close to their own goal. This tactic is often employed by teams that are leading or facing a stronger opponent. Teams that "park the bus" typically have a compact formation, making it difficult for the opposing team to find space to create scoring opportunities. While this strategy can be effective in securing a result, it may also lead to criticism for being overly defensive and lacking in offensive play.
