He is a great man. He De Zerbis all the success that comes his way
đđnice
This is probably the funniest one I have heard about him đ€Ł
nice one
@@pawsively Tifo made the same pun. lol Look under his name at 0:10.
@@CoconutJewce somehow I missed that!
Conte won several major trophies with his smash-and-grab tactics, but I'd prefer De Zerbi's because it's more entertaining to see high-possession-based play
High-possession-based play that's also very attacking. City is also high-possession but they can be kinda meh to watch whenever they're not scoring 7 goals a game. lol
Watch contes first season at Juventus. I would argue it was more entertaining than se zerbis brighton with vucinic has the false nine
Conteâs and RDZâs build up principles (which have earned RDZ such a distinguished name in the football scene) are of the same school of thought. There are different nuances but the school of thought is the same: attract to attack. Of course OOP philosophy is different for both managers, but thatâs a different topic.
He ain't goin' to Spurs m8! Keep smokin' that spliff
â@@Sleepless4Life no one mentioned Spurs
I really hope he doesn't make a move like Potter did. He should stay at Brighton until he wins a cup with them and European seats.
Which vup?đ
I did enjoy 'European seats'.
@@thrustgamer7837 FA? It's not like there are cup qualifiers?
Definitely
Chelsea will come for himđ
Can't wait when season ends and see "Chelsea are interested in De Zerbi"
de zerbis legit unlike harry potter
Thing is they actually should but they can't!
Would be funny seeing him go to Chelsea for about 3 months then get sacked.
Nah, not like the overhype english managers that just got sacked and about to be sacked
Of course they are, but with that prat they have there already going out and buying any player that can tie his own bootlaces up. Would he be interested in Chelsea.
The concept of an artificial transition been there for some time (Emery). But RDZ has made it his go-to tactic. No other coach made this the teamâs identity. This is also one of the reasons why I have some doubts as to whether RDZ will transition into a bigger job smoothly. The bigger the team, the less the teams the ability to bait a press because opponents are happy to sit deep. Will he be able to manage a team that is required to attack low blocks on a weekly basis? That requires a different type of managerial skill-set to what he has been required to show at Brighton thus far.
This is actually a very (emphasis on very) good point
Also that Its not easy to implement and could take time, and big clubs dont give u that. Plus i think potter made bus transition easier, brighton played similar with potter
Managers adapts styles for the teams and situations they're in. He will change depending on the players he has at his disposal. People think Sean Dyche wanted to play the way he did at Burnley. It was a necessity.
@@zombievikinggaming4258 not all managers like to adapt, some are very loyal to their âbeliefsâ
@@zombievikinggaming4258 completely agree with you. But Brighton were a team that were pinning their opposition in their own box and creating a lot of chances under potter. They still are creating a multitude of chances under RDZ but the nature is different. This clearly means that the current style of play is a result of RDZ intentions and not out of necessity. The squad is ready for the next step.
I was at the Bridge on Saturday and itâs honestly mesmerising to watch. Never panicking, incredible pressing after possession loss, and every single time they go forward it looks threatening. Long may it continue!
Bro really said, "I think i will love it..And i De Zerbi"
Sounds more like "I deserve it "
@@Isaac-pi7dh you sir are a genius. You deserve Nobel peace prize.
â@@Sajangrg69*dezerbs
Never a mention for the fact Emery brought this type of artificial transitions from build up to the league too. You even did a video on how he created transitional moments by triggering the press when Villareal beat Bayern in CL.
Literally one of the godfathers of artificial counters.
Ten Hag did it at Ajax too.
Maybe because De Zerbi arrived earlier this season and has implemented it well.
Emery has got going at Villa but he can't be the "bringer" as he came second. He also did not get this going well with Arsenal in his first PL stint.
There's no need to be bitter, just enjoy a more tactically diverse league!
@@randomshotz13 Yes he took over 6 weeks earlier than Emery. However Emery showed with Villarreal against top pressing sides in the CL how to create transitional "counter attacking" moments from your own build up by triggering the opposition press.
Emery's success at this was on display at the highest level last season. Both De Zerbi and Emery have brought this to the PL. How much De Zerbi was influenced by Emery (or how much different coaches are influenced by eachother) is unknown.
Look up Emery Video Vs Bayern on tifo from last year. De Zerbi started from a higher base when taking on Brighton than Emery did at Villa.
Next season will be interesting
@@conorbyrne8074 and De Zerbi was doing this 4 years ago at Sassuolo in the Serie A... I don't see why you can't enjoy a video about De Zerbi without a mention to another coach that sometimes employes the same tactics
The reason De Zerbi gets the call out is he takes this idea to a whole new level, it's THE way his team's play not just a facet of their game (which may eventually be a bad thing) Brighton have had >70% possession this year in the PL more than any team and if you remove City I think more than the rest of the league combined, that's why it's so interesting, it's one idea taken to the max
Huge credit to De Zerbi for being able to implement this and get everyone on board.
For De Zerbi to continue Brightons incredible form after Graham Potter, is very impressive and his box midfield set up has been highlighted by Guardiola as a contributing factor. With Pep integrating the box midfields into his XI which has helped him control games more and break pressing lines of high intensity pressing teams like Liverpool and Bayern Munich. This set up could be a catalyst to Pep's long awaited success in the Champions League with Man City
it would be the other way around
Conte's Inter Milan did this brilliantly against Barcelona at the San Siro in the Champions League when he was manager there. I remember being frustrated that they could play through Barca's press at will but they just couldn't score. It's outstanding that he's able to implement it so well at Brighton though. That's the real achievement. He's not reinvented the wheel. He's just made it more efficient in his own way. Sort of like JĂŒrgen Klopp's "gegenpress" and Pep Guardiola's possession football. Let's hope he can build on it. When they drew with Liverpool at Anfield, I wrote in a my post game rant that Brighton might just have found a live one. I'm simultaneously mad and glad that I'm being proved right.
A lot like how Italy played in the euros, great style of play
We are often accustomed to double pivots where one is a destroyer by cancelling out the oppositions attacks and the other would be a deep lying playmaker or distributor. De Zerbi's double pivot is different. While both can do all the old school aspects,plus they are both essential in breaking the press, playing against a high intensity pressing team, attracting the opposition and helping the team with the highline and ball retention
Another great video đđ .
Next season will be much more difficult for de zerbi . i hope he can adapt and improvise to keep this run going
because " a specific style of play mostly lasts only a season cuz eventually teams figure out how to play against you " - jon / jj (can;t remember who it was but the point was spot on )
That is Premier League for you. 2nd season is always tough, and only Guardiola has done gr8. Lets see how next season will be for Haaland and De'zerbi
â@@mpaokorieExactly.
Pep always evolve when the tactics become stale.
Initially his team whip the ball across the goal for tap ins but most defence became accustomed to it
I think one of the main reasons Brighton is able to pull off these bait and switch moves is because opponents still underestimate them. It's much easier to break low blocks against teams that actually expect to take points from you.
afer Liverpool was defeated two times by them , not underestimated them anymore.
It's way past the underestimating stage at this point. Brighton are one of (if not) the best teams in the world at building up from the back.
@@yahhou-9564
They are 7th. As it stands, clubs above them figured them out
@@robert2690 they really havenât yet Brighton should be in 5th considering they were robbed against tottenham
@@robert2690 I am talking about build up play and smoothly moving the ball from their third to the final third. You are talking about the standings. Last time i checked, you have to win a game to rank higher, not play beautiful football, which is a totally different discussion.
Plus, Guardiola also thinks that Brighton is the best team in the World at building up from the back.
What i love about de zerbi is he proved Graeme Souness, a Liverfool legend, and pundits alike SO WRONG. I hope he continues on with Brighton and to contend for titles in many years to come, and ohâŠto not be a selling club
Tbf, does anyone pay much attention to what Souness says? The guys knowledge is so out of date. He doesn't have a clue how the game is played anymore
Brighton are clearly not a selling club. They seem to have a hidden factory that makes replacement players (and coaches) before they actually need them and then bring them on. Look at all the talent theyâve sold over the last two seasons and they just keep getting stronger.
He gone bro. Prolly Spurs or Chelsea next season.
@@stephennewton2777 Southampon used to have the same thing, now look at them. It's not sustainable to keep doing that, especially with managers.
â@@Sleepless4Life Why would he go to a club in crisis. The reason he went to Brighton was because they aren't.
People wondering how heâll adapt once teams start to sit deep and invite pressure. Just watch how his Sassuolo side played. They pinned teams back and broke teams down, including big sides such as Juventus. The only thing letting him down was the quality of his players. Iâm sure heâll adapt well next season since heâs an elite coach
Next season , caecido, and mac allister will leave most probably, for large sums of money thouh, it wld be crucial for Brighton to add quality, they still have players overperforming their XG.
Unai Emery has been incorporated the same concept of Artificial Transitions since his arrival. It was painful to start with, but exhibits some wonderful buildup sequences that tear opponents apart.
Ufuk Talay has setup the Wellington Phoenix over the past 4 years to play this way. Invite the press to create space and give players patterns and confidence to play out under pressure. Lots of bounce passes and one twos and when it clicks is very attractive to watch, the odd long ball is used to keep the opposition honest and utilise the space if opposition defences push up to maintain distance between midfield and defence.
Kia Ora
Great video and really good you've put yourself in front of the camera.
I appreciate the music behind this
I like to see one about why Aston villa are so good
There is literally a video made by this channel recently called "Are Aston Villa actually good?".
@@alexchetverik3982 They spoke a lot about XG and XGa and a general overperformance since Emery has come in, but I don't think they really covered the tactics employed by the team in as much detail as they do in this video
This video outlines exactly what Unai Emery has been doing since Villareal, and coincidently now employs at Aston Villa.
Uhh... same thing? People forget that Emery was doin' this years ago. Now he's out for revenge against the gooners. He wants blood. He'll get Euro league for Aston Villa.
They're just on a decent run, they'll inevitably go on a bad run at some point next season and Emery will be classed as useless and get sacked.
I think a saw that S-shape occuring more and more in Man Uniteds play, too. It's basically just a swift way to break attacking press.
Isnât this like conte wait for the team to press and then counter with the players up front? What happens next season when the teams stop pressing them and treat them like a top 7 team ?
Artificial transitions then are the solution to Gegenpressing that teams like liverpool like to apply. No wonder liverpool are so uneffective this season
It's not why, most teams don't play this way and Liverpool has had terrible results against bottom half teams. Liverpool's press has just been sh-t this season, the midfield has gotten too old and slow, and they're even worse at breaking down low blocks.
I most often than not enjoy your videos; however, am i missing the point in this video? I don't see what De Zerbi has "changed" He is just able to employ a high level of tactic with Brighton. All top teams can generate these transitional moments (by beating the press) because they have better players with the vision and ability to play those passes.
Dont get me wrong i love De Zerbi and his football but i just dont see your point in this video.
Exactly.
It's okay, most of the videos in this channel doesn't get so deep into it anyway. You'll be better off with any other serious football channels, this one has a silly approach to it.
Why would we click to watch if the caption isn't catchy đ
@@abiodunalese3879 why insult the viewer's intelligence and why not do justice to the caption by making an in-depth analysis?
@@abiodunalese3879 i do like their content tho, they cover a lot of teams and provide good initial data.
I think these guys on CZcams would make better coaches than any current English coachđđđ
Try doing an Arne slot tactical analysis next. Hes doing great at Feyenoord
United's 2nd goal at the City Ground against Forest had shades of this as well
Yeah, they showed that s-shape anti press tactic before. I think it's just an efficient way to wriggle away from an attacking press chokehold. An alternative to when you dont have a cb who can dribble past the first line.
This background music is way too intense. Might just be me but I can barely focus on what John is saying because of it đ
Just you, I didnât even notice there was background music til I saw ur comment đ€Ł
Would be a great coach with a top team next season.
"I will Love it and I think I De Zerbit"
The way I see it, the first player in the middle to receive the ball from the CB will have his back to the play. He will then bounce the ball with one touch to the other CM as a loose rule directly behind the CB that just got pressed. This allows this player to be facing forward to make a measured pass in to the attack. De Zerbi is playing boxes. The next move is to make a box shape with your 2 cm and 2 forwards. The wingers will push the opposition line back, and the LB and RB will push wide to the sides of the new box created to lend support. Your wingers are now the players to break the back line with inverted runs should the opp CB push in on the strikers. Your strikers become ACM players with the first to receive is to bounce the ball to his ACM next to him who will turn receive facing forward and dribble directly at the CBâs. The LB and RB will become your wingers if the opp CBâs have pressed the strikers, if they havenât you can see them making inverted runs.
Please talk about how Caicedo steals so many Balls! It was nuts during the Chelsea
I do want to point out tho, these players were heavily coached by Potter so they were VERY comfortable with possession and build up. But couldn't score goals, that part I believe with RDZ bait approach and the introduction of faster and agile wingers helped create more chances and results in goals. Getting comfortable with build up and press resistances take some time.
Brighton have been fun to watch this season and not just for Mitoma.
Basically, he is inviting pressure so he can pressure the opposition, this could end up in stalemate if the opposition do not want to press their CB, just let them pass around. Brighton are so good now, hope they get UEL and win it next season.
Then they simply overload either flanks alternatively by making Mitoma and March drop deep. The ball being higher up, the touchline acting as an extra defender, the opposition will be tempted to press. That being said, it will be interesting to see how Brighton would face against managers like Mourinho or Simeoni.
@@Chip_Fuse
Against teams with defensive minded managers.
If you look at Sean Dyche when he was at burnley, thereâs 1 season where they conceded the LEAST amount of goals.
"Artificial transistions", which was called "breaking the press" about 3 weeks ago...?
They try to sensationalize everything.
Exactly like football is so cringey sumtimes all itâs called is breaking the fuvking press
It's different. Breaking the press is to progress the ball and gain final 3rd control, artificial transitions are to provide counter attacking moments and isolating 1v1 specialist wingers
Once again, awesome explanation which raises the question: Is it (still) wise to press?
Pep is arguably the goat manager yet still down to learn from the manager from other smaller team!
Not really, he's just the manager given unlimited budgets to create dream teams,he needs to go to a club like Nottingham forest and then you'll see how good he is.
@@notmanynamesleft according to your logic Messi should plays in championship to prove he's the goat đđđ
There needs to be a way to do this in FM, like speed of place depending on area of the field
Seems a little odd that a video supposedly about De Zerbi and Brighton seems to be more about Man City.
Brighton play some excellent football, neutrals favourite for a reason. I'd top them for Europa League next year.
Really analysis tbf đ
personally I believe that Dan Ashton and his team have built Brighton's foundations that allows them to grow to become the undoubted force they now are in the premier league.
Superb recruitment of players that have gone under the radar of supposedly superior scouting systems , combined with shrewd managerial recruitment. Also I'm a big fan of Danny Welbeck - still doing the business after so many injuries. As a Newcastle fan of some 64 years I love the thought of blitzing the pretentious " big six " - come and join us fellas!
You do De Zerb more respect Jonny boy đđœ
the concept of the 3rd man is a huge part of De Zerbi's team.
Sad that some people really laughed off Pep's praise for Brighton playing the best build-up play in world football at this moment.
I've seen a couple of videos and articles on Brighton, but the question I always ask me is: What if the opponent doesn't press?
De Zerbi is a great manager
Fun Fact: Luciano Spaletti introduced false 9, using none other than Francisco Totti in Roma. Pep used that idea using Messi at Barcelona and the rest of his clubs.
De Zerbi is using double pivot, with 6 men build up. Pep sniped that tactics again.
Pep is a snipper of football tactics from Italians.
Italy is still the university of football. Shame most of their clubs donât have the money to compete
Fun Fact: The false 9 was first used as early as the 1930s by the Austrian national team (1934 World Cup winners).
@@HufflepuffDaddy 1934 World Cup was won by Italy. I think you're confusing it with the Hungary team of 1950s (Mighty Magyars) where Hidgekuti played a version of false nine. Hungary were beaten by West Germany in the 1954 final.
Pep played in Brescia. Of course, he was going to learn something from Italy.
@@sohamchakraborty3220 thanks! yeah I thought that was the case because I read the "Inverted Pyramid" 10+ years ago and the info you posted is in that book so you're correct....but leave it to a new Google search to muddle up the origins of the false-9 concept.
As a Chelsea fan the sad thing is this tactic of artificial pressure and counter attacks sounds perfect. We haven't been a free scoring team since conte left and we started trying to play with the ball. All our success in Europe and pl has been playing on the counter and we havnt won a league since we started playing possession football. We havnt been able to break down a sitting defence in years and years. We took the wrong manager
Quality content
Best football analysis out there. Once again, well done and thanks Tifo đ
What is that awesome top-down app youâre using to show the positioning and movement?
As a brighton fan I hope he stays and doesn't go to a big 6 club I believe we are the best run club in the league
Watched the clip
Turn on FM22
Itâs experiment time đ
I am still struggling to understand the idea of artificial transitions, how different is this from the normal idea of building from the back inviting pressure which creates space in behind, that's a basic principle of building from the back so how are artificial transitions any different even in the example from the city v liverpool game we can see that liverpool are somewhat organized in a block and are 4v4 so there is no numerical overload or spaces from disorganized defences that teams usually exploit om transitional moments so what basically is an artificial transition ? How is it any different from building and inviting pressure to create space?
De Zerbi is a fraud. All his supposed new ideas are either things players always did on their own or stolen ideas renamed to make him look like some revolutionary.
Simple, you are a football peasant. Artificial transition is da bomb now
@@vbdemystified709 Ohhhhh ok you see I didnt know it was 'da bomb' now. Thank you football genius!đ
Good old Sean Dyche just thrashed De Zerbi's Brighton at Amex đ
love the Bielsa shirt đ„¶đ„¶đ€©đ€©
"De Zerbi" sounds like some European with an accent referring to some derby. At least that's what I thought the first time I heard him mentioned in a commentary. I was like, which derby? đ
That'd more be "Ze Derbi" and there's probably a Brazilian somewhere called that.
...Okay.
I first noticed this change in Man city tactics against Bayern
Okay but how would this translate to a team like Chelsea where opposition mostly spend the entirety of the game camped on their box and not looking to break their structure by being drawn out by a press?
What if the other team doesn't press? Or sets up as a low or mid block?
keep attacking
My man serving up a feast
Unique but isn't it classic Serie A? One-two touch to find shortest route in midfield, to create "counter" or in this case artificial transition. Big fan of both Pep & De Zerbi
The background hotel reception music is very annoying to me. But I am sure you have done research that indicates that music helps.
I am proud we have 2 paraguayan in such huge projects in the premier league, Almiron and Enciso
Almiron is washed
Want Brighton to make it to top 4!
simple Fact though, Roberto Di Zerbi is ardent patron or admirer of Josep Guardiola, if anything Roberto Di Zerbi had met Guardiola and received enough wisdom prior to his arrival in england to accept the manager role with seagulls
If I were advising De Zerbi, I would advice him to sit tight for another year or so, build his rep (make a deep cup run and qualify for CL,potentially) and then make a move to either Man City or Liverpool (once Klopp/ Pep leave)...instead of taking the Man United job in the near future.
Conte had a very similar strategy during his time at Inter
When this was highlighted on a Twitter thread somebody told me that none of it was coached, it was all just instinctual play by the midfielders.
2:44 Turned into Brian Cox lol
That concept is the third man concept and it's been used by managers in Barcelona like pep or Luis Enrique since a long time ago.
But De Zerbi has taken it and is spamming the ever loving life out of it.
What does everyone make of the Everton loss, especially in the context of where the teams are in the league now?
We can both sit back ans stare at each other. I wouldn't fall for De Zerbi's shenanigans.
Looking for this comment. đ. He is getting sack next season
Does anyone know what app or what he uses to demonstrate these tactics?
Is that Fela youâre playing in the background?
This is basically what Hag played at Ajax post selling Frenkie and what heâs trying to play at United.
Heâs doing great and so is Unai emery
Both the idea of playing deep as a bait for the opponent s pressing and the idea of finding a man indirectly through a triangular shape of passes are some of the most established principles of modern football, in the last 30 or at least 20 years... So whatâs de zerboâ novelty? I think there are some but they are more subtitle and complex
All these mentions but not a single mention about the recent manager with highest amount of success with the âmidblock- artificial transition modelâ which was Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. He was called âTransition managerâ not able to attack Low blocks.. Letâs see how Emery or De Zerbi is gonna do the same when they want a higher position in League Table..
Brighton v Hove is the derby we all need
He should not rush things. I think he should be assistant of Pep for 2 years cause he still has a lot to learn. Then big clubs will hire him and he might deliver.
hows this new? its called playing out from the back, any top team does this?
I am eager to find out the most effective way to press De Zerbi. Build ups.
This system is down to why Liverpool have struggled this season. Liverpool relied heavily on the shadow press to defend, and this system is designed to exploit pressing teams. Liverpool have seemingly given up on pressing altogether and now just cut passing lanes instead, which causes it's own problems as in you don't get the ball back unless there's a mistake and it makes the team look passive and like they're not trying.
Klopp has not evolved while some other managers around him did. Can't see how they're going to improve next season except he changes his tactics
@@ikuesanola7296 It's taken until literally the most recent game for Klopp to change anything even though it hasn't been working for 8 months. He played a box midfield V Arsenal.
@@ikuesanola7296 Yup. He's slow to make adjustments at all whether in a match or over a season. As much as I've enjoyed the Klopp Years, he's now out of ideas or the capacity to adjust to what's happening on the pitch. No new patterns of movement. Attack predominantly going through Salah, who tries to go for the solo spectacular instead of passing to open teammate.
All new tactics work for 1-2 years until the oppositions figure out a way, that's why Great Managers are those who can win consistently. This tactic works well for smaller teams that have only the Premier League to play for, when you load in Champions League, FA cup, Carabao and Premier League, tiredness sets in
That deeper line would work amazingly for Harry Maguire so heâs not caught out of possession so much.
Hello John
Damn you Tifo for making me laugh at the caption under Jon's name. Whoever came up with that De Zerbs a public shaming... or forced to be a Spurs fan like I am.
I don't think pep got an ideas from de zerbi cause ever since aguero got injured he used the 424 or the double false which is similar to de zerbi tactics otherwise he was probably taking a dig at de zerbi just like he did at the napoli coach cause he knows they are all getting ideas from him
De Zerbi nation
I would say it's that De Zerbi is inspired by Pep not vice versa, as we saw these kind of transitions at City long before De Zerbi was in England
De Zerbi started coaching in 2013. He had the same system and philosophy everywhere.
Pep is not Jesus mate. Not everything is his invention.
ETH, Sarri, De Zerbi, Naglesman and now Arteta have all their own ideas about the game.
The 4 CBs Pep is playing right now is also not his idea.
If you could ask him he'll tell you. And that is why he remains on top- because he adapts & learns.
@@Never_Wr0ng Exactly! He is sort of a guy who doesn't mind changing right away when he sees a better opportunity to improve. Klopp on the other hand is solid but waits too long before changing and with the technicality of the Premier league he gets caught out.
@@Never_Wr0ng I still see people saying that Pep invented the false 9. Spaletti says hi. lol
@@Never_Wr0ng I never said that all he does was created by him and the coaches u mentioned were definitely inspired but donât play the same, my point is that the âartificial transitionsâ again wasnât invented by him nor Pep, it has long existed my point is that I doubt he has taken it from De Zerbi
He was the same coach that beat madrid in the champions league, I hope he picks the right team next
So will it get found out like Conte has or does he actually not mind changing things?
I'd love to see how (prime) mourinho would deal with this tactics
*Wrong title* on the video. Really good Man City, Pep Guardiola analysis though!
I don't get why bigger teams didn't go for him after his time in Sassuolo
They didn't.
