The narrative at the end is very compelling but no football coach is going to be a scape goat for a people's dreams and ambitions. It defeats the purpose of being a coach, because he is full and well dependent on the team and its performance. Apart from that I felt this was a well crafted video of the man
He watched a lot of Bielsa's Leeds.
The heat map of Julian and Ferguson lol. 3-2-4-1 vs 4-3-3 means the lone 1 striker will drop a lot less. Also, Ferguson plays a #8 role in the midfield not as the #11 like Julian. And lastly, this is man city vs. bologna. Last year’s Treble winners and pl champs 5 of the last 6 years. All of Bologna’s players will drop a lot more because they aren’t as good and have 40% possession avg. vs. 67% for city. Basically, the comparison is flawed for several reasons and can’t safely be used to support the primary argument of the video (read: bologna have less structured positions).
He is about to come to Juventus
as an aspiring coach myself this video is a master piece and i watch it once every week
it's called the tiki taka in Spain
When is the xabi video coming?
Would love to see an analysis of Wilfred Nancy at Columbus Crew. The MLS is currently the Messi and Co. show to most of those watching abroad, but THE actual best team in the league is Columbus and largely in part to the management of Nancy. As a local Miamian and fan of Inter Miami, trust me, I'd trade Martino for Nancy in a heartbeat.
Guardiola's model is admirable, respectable and incredibly efficiente. Also boring as hell
i also thought lucumi was called lucimi
Can I apply this tactics in fc24?
Overrated
This channel is like crack cocaine for a football supporter. Just went through a few videos and I learned so much even as a seasoned fan
Nagelsmann could be a fit for Man United
He is a master in adaptation
That's Wacky 😂
most of them: whos the next messi? me: i want another Busi :(
He is the best out of the best and the greatest of all the time
Something tells me Busques will be a better coach than Xavi in terms of carrying on the legacy of Cruyff's vision.
The more one learns about Busquets, the more he understands that Busquets was more important for Barca's playing style, than any other player, be it Xavi, Iniesta or even Messi... Without Busquets we wouldn't have witnessed the style of Pep... P.s. :- Not stating that they are worse player than Busi, just importance wise, for the system Pivot is the most important position in this style & no avg pivot can do the job... You have to be the top class...
Xavi should’ve left. Laporta and co dont make data driven decisions. Flick should be right on his way to barca
Football will always needs randomness along with originality than everyone being robotic like chitty
8 months and 12 days later after this video, Barcelona lost the league by losing 4-2 to girona, and went troohyless for the whole season. The puritist Knows football and is a great analyst.. I affirm that today.. ❤❤
His playing the way every goalkeeper thinks the game should be played but yawll say we cazy
On his way to Juve ⚫️⚪️
Marc bernal is very talented pivot in barca B. I hope they promote him.
❤❤❤❤🎉
Is he good
Amazing. Similarly, it happens with governance system in countries. The introduced Western governance system doesn't suits ours. For years, they keep sending us international consultants to teach us perform institutional strengthening but nothing happens.
this ages well lmao
He is like playing with 11 Thomas Mullers
Excellent analysis!
Great video! I am going to watch Klopp's one to compare styles ;)
Damn❤
spaletti got a philosophy but he dont have the way to reach it
yes of course, we want a liberty and creativity in football ! it's a classic tactics and this manager improve it ... thank you we want that football brazilian come back
Sir I love your videos
I just bumped into this video and it's very interesting, when you have time please check Mamelodi Sundowns. It's a South African team that has won the league 7 times in a row including this season league title. they have not lost a game after 23 league games and have qualified for the Club World Cup 2025, they are amongst 4 CAF teams that have qualified. Their 37 year old coach uses same tactics in his games and have 6 South American players in their squad. Since the arrival of Spotting Director Flemming Berg who used to work for Chelsea and Danish National team the team is been amazing.
Do Löw
Then you'll find some players not performing just because they're asked to play outside their favourable position
He is an excellent manager tbh
This video didn't age well... now did it ?! ?!
Great vídeo! The only thing I disagree is about Casemiro, he's way better and usued to play against the best. Let him cook
Cruijf. Cruijff. Cruijff.
You should see malmö now because we’ve improved and made som minor changes but we are still using relationism like we did last season. Right now malmö is dominating allsvenskan with 18 goals made and 1 conceded in 6 games and we’re in the cup final (which we definitely will win) and we will be qualifying for europe soon so it’ll be interesting to see how we’ll do against good competition
Manchester united be zerbi 😊
This is hybrid pressing. araola, emery, pep are all using elements of this style of defending. It is very switch heavy and you need intelligent players to carry it out effectively
Be interesting to see how you would of analysed ten hags ajax team and compared it to quite frankly the worst football I've ever seen man utd play. I know man utd are an absolute cesspool right now but the motta's and de zerbis of this world only one bad move away from being ridiculed to high heaven like ten hag. Or are they different?
