"The English distrust of pure creativity"
I couldn't agree more, most people only care about urgency and aggressiveness as the main quality to thrive in English football. More like the old terms "Kick and Rush"
and people wonder why england has all these amazing players but cant do anything when it comes to international competition. change the league then youll see the results.
A few times I've heard this criticism of Irish and English grassroots systems: That they prioritise tall, strong lads in the teenage years, over the more creative/skillful, but perhaps smaller and physically weaker boys. While the physically superior players may benefit the youth teams in the short term, long term it breeds a culture of technically inferior footballers. In European countries like Spain it's the exact opposite, developing the skills of players is the biggest priority.
This criticism is probably more aimed at the Irish system, but when it boils down to it, the likes of Xavi, Iniesta and Pirlo had that technical edge over the likes of Lampard and Gerrard and it showed when it really mattered at international level.
fuzzylogiceire couldnt agree more.
Well look at how far peps creativity has gotten him so far in the PL
Bob Henry you cant use that logic. In european football, pep has done well. Won leagues and CLs. Why? Same reason why pl teams are not successful anymore ever since united v chelsea. Even united lost to barca in 2001 (pep's team).
The old fashioned pl way is the one bringing english football down. Fact, not opinion.
Just to be clear on this Carrick issue - as a few comments have mentioned it - this video is not suggesting that Carrick is *not* masterful in Manchester United's midfield. On the contrary, we're saying that, in a league in which the general style does not lend itself to registas, Carrick has managed to parallel the work of top players in this position in other leagues.
The point made regarding his potential merely suggests that, were he playing in another league more suited to his natural ability, he might be generally considered on a par with the likes of Pirlo. The very fact that he is discussed as "underrated" in this comments section suggests that there is no consensus regarding his ability. That's what we're pointing out.
As a Barca fan, would like to hear your views on Busquets' role in the Spain and Barca team. Does he qualify as a 'regista' or ball winning deep midfielder?
In my opinion, he does both but would still like to hear your views.
My view is that Busquets has made and was put into his own role. He plays in the same position and has the same play style as the other registas but due to Barca's short passing style, his usually play quick 1-2, short passes through the midfield line for the advance playmakers in front like Messi, Iniesta.
I'd consider him a different variation of regista, and THE BEST at that. Amazing player.
I'm sorry but if 100M can get him from Barca I'd like ManUtd to try for him
Busquets is a curious case. He is quite free and has the tendency to roam all over the width of the midfield, as well as Lavolping (term used to describe a DM putting himself between the 2 CBs), he has much better reading of the game on the defensive side than your typical regista, and he excels in all ranges of passing. However, his role neither for FCB or Spain (before the decay started) is that of an actual deep lying playmaker, he always left that more to Xavi (who also had the tendency to drop quite deep, which is why he sinergized so well with Busi) or nowadays Iniesta. He is more of a libero, always covering for the space left, linking lines of defence and offense, offering himself as a passing option and recycling possesion. Could he play as a regista? I think so, and as things are going in Catalunya, when Andres cant start a game a week, he'll probably be the main DLP.
Adding to what you mentioned, Busquets will also on occassion bypass the midfield and put through balls to the likes of Messi, Suarez and Neymar. Yes, Barcelona's style tends to favor short passes but that is usually done in order to lull defenders so that they then cut a long, unexpected pass or run and unsettle the opposing defense. I think a good example of this was Sergi Roberto's assist for Luis Suarez during the 2015/2016 clasico where he played on the wing. I think he played a couple of one, two's with Busquets and somebody else whilst he had his back turned towards the Madrid goal. All of a sudden, it was the second ball which came from Busquets, that was returned to the space that Sergi Roberto could exploit.
IMO, Busquet role is more like a libero rather than regista.
3:13 Ancelotti knew the OP formations before any FIFA player did...
Charlie Snowball fuck FIFA.
my thoughts exactly, the amount of idiots who play that game and think it somehow translates to them having any incline about the real game is baffling
It changes, it used to be 4231 that was OP. This year 41212 and 4321 were probably the best. 433 is so worthless in fifa 18 it is infuriating.
Buraku I'm the other way around, I come from FM games and realise I know fuck all deeper stuff about tactics. :D I should start playing FIFA so I think I am some tactical mastermind.
@@shooshooshooshooshooter dude,preach
The most beautiful position in football! The most pleasant thing I've ever watched live in football was Pirlo coming on as a sub in an Italy friendly a few years back-suddenly the whole field opened up, and players kept giving him the ball and moving forwards knowing that they could be found almost immediately with an accurate pass from deep. Unique & rare players, cherish them if you're lucky enough to have a true regista in your team.
Some of you might be interested in knowing that regista means "director" in the cinema way. I figured that might shed some more light on the concept of this role
Thank you very much
A difference between Libero-Regista-Trequartista-Fantastista vid would be interesting. Pls could u do something of the sort?
I'm italian and I don't speak eng but I try to explain about italian football even with some name of famous italian (and not) players so you can make a comparison.
-Libero doesn't exist anymore in Italy since Arrigo Sacchi started with 442 (4-line defenders and the extreme offside tactics) him played a total zone; before the Libero (Scirea was a typical example) playing not in line with the others but more back, needed speed and good technique to set up the game or make long passes and the ability to close the other mistakes because was the last man before goalkeeper.
In the famous Sacchi team (the "dutch Milan") the Libero was Baresi but playing in line and called the offside, pressing and team movements, it was the defense leader.
-Regista is a player like Pirlo, nothing more or less; great technique, timing, ability to keep the ball and making long passes/assist, the player who dictates the game times etc (like on this video).
-Trequartista-Fantastista are the same thing, the best italian Fantasista, and player in general, Roberto Baggio was a typical example of this role; not everyone knows but him played almost his entire career on "one" leg for a serious injury by young man (many believed that it would never returned to play) other are players like Mancini or Totti, Del Piero instead was a second striker in my opinion.
The difference from a Fantasista vs a "simple" striker it's that it combines the skills to score and to make assists (ie Roberto Mancini who liked assist more than scoring goals himself); the Trequartista-Fantasista features are creativity, technique, score and a bit 'of madness.
I have seen Maradona playing live (game and training) and for me he was the best in this role and like player too (regardless of everything); I remember also (in serie A) players like Zico, Falcao, Platini and (in my team) a great player like Laudrup and my love Gazza (that in its way it was a Fantasista).
Again, sry for my "google-eng", I hope you understand (if you read everything) ciao. đ
Add Dennis Bergkamp to that list too
lazios Dont worry I know the difference! Just would like a video on it cos animations are cooler
Mike Bobby Sry (I read vid now) lol
libero--beckenbauer, regista--pirlo, trequartista/fantastista---baggio or totti
These videos are actually brilliant
Good commentary on the role of playmaker v. disrupter. The one thing I think this video failed to mention though, and what players like Pirlo and Alonso do so beautifully well, is that a Regista is responsible for setting the tempo! That's the problem with the English/American game. There is no tempo to the game, it's all sprinting and direct play.
Smart players (Pirlo, Alonso, Riquelme, Valderamma) they know how to control the pace of a game. This is why Pogba is still struggling in England, because he's still stuck believing himself to be an attacking-minded Regista and he simply can't adjust to a pace that is always frantic. It's not going to work for him in England, unless he adjusts, especially with the way Mourinho has the rest of the squad playing.
Players that try to mimic Pirlo are often underrated in youth football here in the US. I say we need more of them. We've got plenty of athletes, but very few thinkers.
Jorginho doing it very beautifully in chelsea
@@user-wy6eu5xx4v now for arsenal. they play a slow tempo so heâs a great regista
â@@abdilahiabdigani1820Enzo does it beautifully at Chelsea imo
@@shanchar i havenât seen much of enzo at chelsea since i donât watch their games but he seems like a regular holding midfielder rather than a deeper playmaker at the wc. iâll watch him further soon thougu
So do you think that if Carrick spent his whole career in Italy, he'd be a footballing icon like Pirlo and Alonso?
TheOneUndOnly Possibly not. Carrick used to get injure a lot. And he's anyway had a successful career, winning many titled. However, you can say that he isn't as recognized as he should be.
TheOneUndOnly maybe Yes because carrick is really good! I'm not united fan.
Also, earlier on in his career, Carrick did not have the passing range, nor the poise in his play that he has today, or possibly, he did not show it. He played very much like a destructive midfielder.
+abhishek kumar It's possible that the physicality of the BPL played a role in his injuries.
Eh, it's a what if situation anyway. I'm sad that I only noticed him after he turned 35.
He woukd have been close. Even Pirlo moved around a few years in Italy until Ancelotti managed to put him in the right spot, Pirlo was more attacking earlier in his career
Hopefully Conte could make Fabregas into a regista. Nice video!
cesc is a trequista
Backpack yes
Leshon JL maybe when he gets older, but he is a great attacker
I believe he already has to a degree. I was watching Chelsea v Man City and in the first half Chelsea were getting sucked into playing a fast paced back and forth with Man City. In the second half Fabregas could be seen lying deep and playing balls forward to Hazard, Costa and Moses on the wing and Chelsea slowly began to take control of the game and unleash devastating counter attacks.
Probably not, Fabregas's best days are behind him - he was probably the 5th best midfielder in the world behind Iniesta, Xavi, Xabi and Pirlo when he was at Arsenal. He's still up there these days, but not like before.
Verratti is a regista. One hell of a player
Name anyone currently better than Verratti in that poition?
Noob Commander As a regista Wiegl and Casemiro are definitely not better than Veratti
Noob Commander Wtf you smoking on? Gay ass biscuits isn't a regista. All he's ever been is a defensive midfielder, that's all! Verratti is light years ahead of that piece of shit.
Sensational player, wouldn't classify him as a regista though.
Thiago Motta is more of a regista in PSG's team. Best modern day registas are Busquets, Kroos, Alonso.
Julian Weigl is perhaps the most promising young regista in modern day football.
Damn. You're dumb mate. Neutral or not, you must accept how good of a player Busquets really is. As of now, the best regista in world football. His current form, along with Umtiti's (wish he comes back stronger), Ter Stegen, Messi's makes the team run. WIthout Busquets, barca would be lost.
United will miss Carrick dearly.
Did he die? Where is he going?
He is 35 , gonna be retiring in a couple of years.
Ter Van Ruth Carrick is so underrated it's crazy. Only when he's gone and United struggle do people realize his true value.
His contract will end in May
+Kutluhan Bayraktar He'll probably get a year on year renewal, like we did with some of the Class of 92 in their later years.
this channel is truly awesome
thanks for the effort !!!
Carrick one of the most underrated players in the world.
Oh Lol, was just thinking that united with matic-mctommin-pogba was solid but chaotic
No wonder man united went to absolute shite when they think highly of players like carrick đ carrick in his prime wouldn't even play for Dortmund xi.
@@SiefausOsna he won 5 titles, UCL and made it to 2 furthering UCL finals.
Sit down you dope.
@@MrJayManUtd08 michael carrick is trash bruh he just sucked fergie off like a dog
@@SiefausOsna I'm not United fans but Carrick surely was one of many iconic midfielders in his generation.
Tifo football Encyclopedia is spot on. Keep up the good work guys. It's always a pleasure to watch your uploads
I really like that this video mentioned how much the other midfielders have to work to cover for a regista like Pirlo. It's a very languid position and style and that workload gets dumped onto other players.
Carrick is the most underrated English footballer in history, such a fantastic player.
No mention of Busquets? He is both a Regista and destroyer. He's been the best holding midfielder in football for quite some time now.
Busquets is not a regista, he's a defensive midfielder. He has no creativity. Verratti is a regista, for instance. Fabregas also could play as a regista.
No creativity? Have you seen Busquets play? His through balls, vision and long passing are great. Also Verratti is not a regista yet he doesn't sit like Busquets and Pirlo, he is more box to box. Fabregas could be a regista, he has good long passing and vision.
Busquets is the most creative midfielder in the world
Busquets' passing in early part of his career was overshadowed by brilliance of Xavi. However, since Xavi's departure, he has carried the distribution duties very well. He has a full passing range, vision and technique of a regista and is better defensively than Xabi and Pirlo.
This video failed to mention Pep Guardiola under Cruyff and how much he values that deeplying playmaker as a coach. Amusing how he became the victim of creator-destroyer trend of early 2000s, having to leave Barca. The way he went and replaced Pirlo in Mazzone's team. He came back as a coach to bring his own identity back into next generation of footballers. He gave the break to Busquets, made Xabi a full regista at Bayern and has used 90 year-old Yaya as a regista in last few months because City don't have a good, passing, well-tempered DM. Mazzone, Ancelotti and Guardiola, the true exponents of registas in modern football.
Funny when someone says Busquets has 'no creativity'
Thank you for putting this beautiful video. I really enjoyed hearing more about the origins of the deep sitting playmaker
you could't have been more accurate, your analysis were flawless. the best
Can you do a video on a breakdown of modern total football? I'm a huge fan of possession style and technical football, but I've seen the style evolve immensely over the years from a conservative, slow building tiki taka to a quick switch to counter attacks adding a more direct approach. Thanks!
I've just happened to stumble across this video and honestly, this channel is so good at explaining tactics etc. Immediately subbed. Does anyone know other football channels like this one?
There are no others, Lucas. Stay here, Lucas. Stay here forever.
Yeah, there are still no similar channels, thanks tifo
Great guest and listen as always. Jonathan is arguably the best journalist (or writer or football observer, aptly) to elaborate on the evolution of the game, tactical patterns from both yesteryear and modern day , and of course all things Barçelona. Lastly, his books and fleeting appearances on the Football Weekly podcast are often filled with insightful takes and good-natured ribbing (dry humour laden) with Barry Glendenning.
Using this knowledge in FM right now, thanks! You guys are great!
Just subscribed. Been following your videos for a little bit but I think it's worth getting notifications now ;)
Wise move sir
Right in the feels at the end there. When will we learn!?!?
Fantastic video as always guys. Glad you mentioned Nandor Hidegkuti. If I'm not mistaken, he was the pioneer or at least popularised the "False 9" in the 'Aranycsapat' side? Luis Monti as well. Here's a request. I think everyone will love a video on the evolution of the False 9 role. From Sindelar to Messi! Cheers.
terrific work, keep up the good work! Can you please do a man utd analysis under mourinho? and if possible compare it with the manutd of ferguson.
I really liked âLuis Suarez (not that one)đđđđđ
Had to be clear ;D
đđđđđ
Vinosh Gopal he won tje Ballon dâor right
I wonder if 'Luis Suarez (not that one) also enjoyed partaking in cannibalism?
This is quality content, definitely subscribing to this channel.
Compliments to you, Alex and Joe.
Michael Carrick is not just a deep-lying playmaker though. He is so good at cutting off passing lanes and standing in the right position. His tactical intelligence is second to none and he is one of the most underrated central midfielders of the past 15 years.
Another good shout is obviously Sergio Busquets. This may not be his best season but over the past 6-7 years there has been no one better playing in front of the defense, spraying balls but also winning ground duels and breaking up play. Sure, Pirlo has better vision and a better passing foot, but not the quality of reading the game like Busquets.
Maybe Verratti could be thrown into the discussion too.
Scholes was deployed this way in the latter part of his career, as was Gerrard for a while under Brendan Rodgers (even though he wasn't as good as when he was a marauding box-to-box midfielder).
jsem94 Pirlo can read game way way better than Sergio. At his prime, Pirlo was pretty much Xavi+Busquets combined. The only thing busquets does better than Pirlo is his defense
Could you do a video on the evolution of the modern winger?
And how it got ruined.
There is one, from about a month back. It's called "How the back four killed the traditional winger". And in my opinion, pragmatism also did him in. Crossing is a far worse chance-creating tool than short passes + with the athleticism of full-backs, there's no need to dedicate a player to that role when full backs can do that.
I just love the way you explain things.
Incredible work .. u r amazing thank u so much for the video. A fan for the one and only meastro đ€đ€
Finally, someone who recognizes the class of Carrick.
Carrick won everything in club football. Several Premier Leagues, a Champions League, FA Cups, a League Cup. I think he'll be quite proud of himself. He had a very good career. And Carrick and Scholes formed an awesome CM partnership. One of the best I've ever heard of. Maybe he should've won multiple UCLs, but, Barcelona, the best team of his era, has Xavi and Iniesta already. He did very well, I think.
Still can't believe he was overlooked by England managers, Utilising Carrick would of bought balance in England's midfield
Great video! I would love to see a video on attacking fullback or more offensive center half explained as I'd like to learn more about how these positions can be effective versus just keeping your defenders glued to the back line. I feel like a lot of attacking full backs I watch are often caught out of position e.g. Ben Davies recently against Liverpool. He was trying to be attack minded, but kept getting caught out.
Itâs really nice to see how much Tifo Football has grown over the years.
Paul scholes was a regista in my opinion
Matthew Mulvaney he was. one of the best.
One of the greatest, doesn't get the respect he deserves from the English though
I agree.
+Soccer Boy, I'm pretty sure he does. He's regarded as one of the best midfielders to ever live.
he did play that in the last part of his carrer, but he started as a 10/second-striker before moving into a midfield two
Manuel Locatelli of AC Milan, is a young Regista, it is his natural position with which he played in even in the Primavera!
I love these videos. It'd be great if you provided links to further discussion of the tactics explained.
Bravo! This role needs a renaissance in American football, especially at the college/university level.
As for Carrick, I think the fact that Pep was made fun of for saying he didn't coach tackles sums everything up in my opinion. I think I read somewhere that Pep's 2010-2011 Barcelona side was near the last sides as far as tackle sides in La Liga, yet they were still a sight to behold with their high pressing. There is more than one way to play the game but in England they seem to value athletic ability and a good hard tackle more than intelligence and reading the play before it develops to put yourself in a place where you don't need to slide tackle all the time.
This video failed to mention Pep Guardiola under Cruyff and how much he values that deeplying playmaker as a coach. Amusing how he became the victim of creator-destroyer trend of early 2000s, having to leave Barca. The way he went and replaced Pirlo in Mazzone's team. Later, he came back as a coach to bring his own identity back into next generation of footballers. He gave the break to Busquets, made Xabi an out and out regista at Bayern and has used 90 year-old Yaya as a regista in last few months because City don't have a good, passing, well-tempered DM. Mazzone, Ancelotti and Guardiola, the true exponents of registas of this century.
hahaha pepsi cola hahahah what a joke. Pirlo is Maestro of football bro, shhhht. Dont compare chikens of Varcelona with Goats of football
amazing explanation; keep up the good work!
You sir know your stuff. Keep up the good videos, got a sub! đđŒ
do one about the raumdeuter
Pure gem.... English football has failed Carrick
Brilliant channel! Could watch these all day.
When Guardiola played he was a Regista as well. I love these kind of players. Intelligent and paced like a compass.
Carrick had an amazing career and was a crucial element in 5 title winning sides, a UCL and 2 further UCL runners up runs.
I'd say he was a massive success despite the frenzied nature of English football.
Jorginho is one of the best registas in the world now.
Alongside with Ruben Neves
He is a substitute at Chelsea for Christ's sake... Jorginho is everything a regista should avoid doing/being: acting passively during games, playing safe, making very few forward passes, not enough long passes. Just look at the range of passing of Kroos, Pirlo or Xabi Alonso, it's like they are playing a different game compared to Jorginho.
Pritish Appadoo it was a joke mate đ
Pritish Appadoo Jorginho a top player with the right manger he was brought in to be managed by sarri not the the English biased frank lampard
@@pritapp788 u replied to a comment that had been posted a year ago mate, chill..
Dude the way you explain the game it's so brilliant that I don't need another show, wish you were my math teacher.
I'm not sure we'd be any good at teaching maths, we would probably just go outside and play footy all day - Danny
lmaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! no doubt anyway keep up the good work.
Great video, love the historical comparisons
Fabregas can be a regista or he is already
amin ali Actually Fabregas create more chances but he don't stay deep and can't defend like Kante so u may be right
amin ali Kante can't ping the ball around
amin ali Kante may sit in front of the defence, but he's not a regista. His role at Leicester and now at Chelsea, has never been to dictate the team's movement.
IMO Fabregas' is perfect for that role though I feel his lack of pace still puts him at a disadvantage. Also Conte's 3-4-3 requires defensive duties paired with dynamism which is why he mostly selects KantĂ© and MatiÄ
Kante doesnt have the passing prowess to be classifiied as a regista. and also i dont think fabregas would ever be or has ever been a regista based on the fact that he doesnt sit in a defensive role. at barca he played in front of busquets creating going forward himself instead of starting the attack. granted he did start many attacks but he was always playing the ball as the attack continued down the field. this might just be the german in me but i do believe that one of the best modern registas would be toni kroos. he plays a protective role over ramos/pepe/varane and he has pinpoint, elegant, smart passing that starts great counter attack opportunities for madrid in every game.
Carrick may be old but without him man united just crumble
Wow. you are so underrated man. you deserve more subs
Amazing as always
2:37 in portuguese, G preceeding both E and I makes the sound shift from a hard G to a regular J sound. It's not the same as the english J sound (think Jefferson), but it's still closer and more likely to be understood.
Can you do a video on the death of football hardmen
Corporate control, sponsor money and obsession with PR
Tactically, Gerrard played as a Regista in the 2013-2014 team. Henderson and Coutinho used to press play while Gerrard kept the ball coming from defence and often linking good long balls to Suarez, Stu and Sterling. Not saying that he was one for his whole career, but worked as such during that one.
đThrough your videos I'm starting to understand football in a deeper perspective
Carrick is underrated
agree, and somehow the past 3 managers prefers Fellaini over Carrick.
Huh?? maybe moyes but LVG had a bad luck with Carrick being injured for a while and Jose have been trusting him every match since our winning streak
What games have you been watching?
+Rx93NuGundam: Carrick was often used under Moyes, VG, and Jose. What are you talking about?
Then, Scholes was a regista or a box-to-box midfielder?
MaurĂcio Rodrigues I was about to say the exact same thing I thing he was defo a regista coming to the end of his career
yeah, like steven gerrard, lampard, modric...
MaurĂcio Rodrigues I thought of the same thing. The midfield Mistro dictated the games pace in his late days. Almost every United attack went through him.
Are you serious? Gerrard and Lampard are the very definition of 'Hurly Burly scramble' that they described. Both were box to box midfielders that relied on the typical English physicality which is why they were so popular.
Carrick is unhurried elegance. Patient and calm, has a great reading of the game in attack and defence and doesn't need to be overly physical to play his style. He would've been great in Seria A or La Liga.
The England national team would've been far better if they had Carrick in those years. Gerrard and Lampard aren't as calm and solid as him in terms of skill, English are all about stuffing their team with hurly burly scramble with no sense of control or stability
Thanks uMAXit Football, I've been watching your videos for the last 2 hours and I've got work in the morning! :D
This is just brilliant. You've earned a sub for it
If Santi Cazorla's positioning was more rigid he would have been classed as a regista, and he would have been better than Carrick. Undoubtedly one of the best deep lying playmakers in the league at the moment.
Master I didn't know Cazorla could play accurate diagonal lofted long balls.
Master loooooooool nowhere near carrick
A regista needs to have exceptional passing. Carrick far surpasses him as a passer
Carlo Mazzone at brescia was the first Coach to use Andrea Pirlo as a deep-lying playmaker
Hard-hitting, and insightful. Thanks for sharing this analysis.
You're welcome
This is a Quality Football Channel.
I love these videos but... saying Carrick failed to reached the heights seems disingenuous. Not many players are instrumental in winning 5 bpl titles.
More the fact that he's never been given a real look in for England would account for some of that
He was given a look in though, he has over 30 caps. The reason he didn't win more is because Gareth Barry was a better ball-winner and Carrick's superior range of passing was never really required with players like Gerrard, Lampard and Rooney in the team.
uMAXit Football Have to agree with that. Carrick has what, 31 caps for England. Absolutely disgraceful
He never did enough to keep his place though, especially when there were better players around at the time in his position.
Phantomwhite
They didn't want his position, he got Sholes'd..
Xhaka could become an amazing regista
ASAP High Elaborate.
Wenger is too tactically inept to utilize him properly
Love these videos
Keep them up đ
Amazing video. Thank you for such a magnificent piece of educationđđȘđŸđ«ĄđŻ
This is my favorite tifo video ty alex
Sergio Busquets? Pep's barca.
In my opinion, his passing ability wasn't at a world class level during that period, however his role was pivotal for Pep's success
Pep made the most defining decision in that period, which was to choose Busquets over Mascherano for that role. In which, Mascherano played as a CDM during Liverpool times. Just very interesting and shows Pep's unorthodox tactical ways.
Ray Delgadillo moreover Sergio Busquets was very young back then, so I guess he was easier to mould into the player he wanted! Pep was also the one to promote Busquets into the first team, having managed him in the youth team!
yeah, Pep knows Busquets since his coacing days in Barca B.
Napoli's jorginho is also one
Thank You. Brilliant video.
such a beautiful video - thanks.
The English, so barbaric!
i play in real life as regista , it's very hard becuase everyone is depending on you , am not fast , but i have the technical ability
TheAnimationEz people say that the GK is the toughest position but the Regista is the toughest...you needed for long range passing, good interceptor and capable of turning defense to attack
Same its how i naturally play most coaches never realized what i was doing or how i was effecting the game at regista or as a 10 but when i moved to academy football and now all my coaches love me and say that if i continue playing and working hard that I might be able to make a debut (D.C. United) although I'm still extremely young and probably a couple of years off that

hope to see you pro bro !
I play as a striker who is slow, but clinical and very good in the air. I've been playing in the US since I moved there and they lack the idea of a regista. They like to press a lot and expect strikers to beat 10 players with ultra-pace. Tactical innovation needs to be put in the US youth system and teams that I've played against that have mastered tactics usually thrash my side and they protect their regista so much and I see why many times.
well what level do you play? Do you play in an academy?
Charlie Roberts from the early 1900s? My word, now THAT is a throwback!
I just discoverd this channel. Great content mate
Dont forget Modric in Madrid
Dani Zulfikar even though Modric does play some long balls, he is more of a box-to-box midfielder in Zidane's tactical system at Real Madrid
Tim Fosu-Mensah is being groomed to assume this role
No he's not, he's a defensive-mid destroyer, not a playmaker - more of a Makelele than a Pirlo.
i swear we hype our youth too much too early sometimes...first wait for him to get regular game time then talk
I agree, he's more like a Destroyer
People feed into hype to much, agreed let the lad become a regular you don't know what he is capable of Ander Herrera could also be molded into this position. Few months back Rojo was shunted from the team, now he is invaluable
***** Yeah I'm sure it has something to do with Race
Superb video, one thing Carlo Ancelotti can't take credit for changing Pirlo's role. It was Carlo Mazzone at Brescia who did it first.
Great insight into deep lying playmaker great work tifo best two players i ever seen play this role pirlo & alonso
Please analyse more the trequartista role. I would really appreciate it! Great video once again,well done
AH! I can't agree more with this video. Please keep up the good work. Subscribed!
this video is really great mate
Been playing football since I was 6. As a fast winger or striker. 39 years old... I think this will be my new position and hopefully I can play for the next 20 years or so.
Pirlo was a Regista at inter too before Carlo & AC...it's just that Carlo specifically got Pirlo to fill that role in his tactics. I remember that player Guti from Real Madrid, that guy used to be pinpoint with some of his passes from deep midfield.
I agree Pirlo was brilliant in this position; and i think Gheorghe Hagi for Romania was a regista, one of the most fun players to watch as he marshalled the pitch
My new favorite channel
amazing videos
I'm pleased Carrick got mentioned. He is always passed over by many and I expected this video to do it to, and thankfully i was proven wrong.
Wow, you've grown 20,000 subs in just 2 weeks, congratulations, and thanks for the videos!
Thanks Alfred it's popping off!
Great job!!!
Excellent!!
Wonderful Video, pretty much confirmed all I've ever thought about registas.
Glad you enjoyed!
