A tricky topic to explain but hope it was understandable. Have you noticed these elements in-game? Coming soon is an in-depth look at how Pep Transformed Manchester City so hit subscribe if you don't want to miss out!
You couldn't have explained it better. That's awesome!! I've always loved to watch the tactical of games but coaches like Pep made things difficult to analyse you make it so simple to digest. You really live up to your channel name.
Thanks a lot mate
Show this video to Solskjaer
Very easy to understand. Pep truly is intelligent. I've always wondered why Walker constantly tucked in, now I know.
having the full backs not running on the wing till the other side of the pitch makes them not that tired and keeping them in this zone helps the team to protect against counter-attacks - because usually the full backs are the fastest defenders.
You should do more tactical analysis for specific teams rather than matches
Yeah I agree, You explain wonderfully đ
Why not both?
Power bhai
HAIZUL HAKIME bhai dari mana ko datang

I'm learning more about football from these videos than I have in all the years watching and talking about the game since I started in 1992.
Pepâs system is well calculated which would leave players freedom to be creative, also leave the system for flexible adaptation to different teams , one word : genius! Love your video
Summary:Pep is genius, absolute genius.
Garbage, he just spends a lot of money and buys big. If he was genius he would take Burnley or Wolves or somesuch to the top of the premier league for a couple of seasons back to back. Man City aren't exactly a small team are they, neither were Bayern Munich and neither were Barcelona. And before you start throwing a word like Genius around, for crying out loud, it's kicking a ball around. Genius is Sir Isaac Newton or Leonardo Da Vinci, Please don't compare an idiot like Guardiola to those men.
Nope, Pep has never overachieved. Barcelona historically have done what he did, same with Bayern. At Man City he isbplayig fantasy Manager.
@@michaelj611 mate⊠do you not see this video and think heâs genius??? this isnât basic shit
@@vewayy yeah, it takes a special kind of someone to get Grealish playing as bad as he was last season then try and take the credit when he gets back to playing something like he was before Pep tried to ruin him. Pep inherits great teams. He's never changed the fortunes of any team he has managed. Barcelona, Bayern and Man City were all succeeding before he arrived, he just maintains success at a high financial cost.
â@@michaelj611 I used to think the same, but when you see how he's got city playing, only casuals or haters will disagree
Tactically , I still believe Pep's on another level . If u want to beat him tactically , it's hard . Coz his every player acts as a key n not single player . He needs his defence back n that's it .
INSAAAAAANE đđđđđ. I never thought how much of a team game this was (maybe because everyone focus so much on individuals) it reminds me Chess, concepts like "Develop your Pieces", "Control the Center", "Stay away from the edges with your attacking pieces" and "teamwork".
Also controlling space. It's beautiful.
Football made complicated by Pep Guardiola
lol
This was amazing! if I can drop a tip: Number your players, I bet it would make it easier for you and for the viewers.
Keep it up!
@Football Made Simple: Well done in explaining complex Guardiola system. Keep it coming. Liked & Subscribed!
great video... i came across this in the book 'pep confidential' but never since. for all the talk about pep's tactics - you are one of the few who has actually explained them!
This has easily become my favourite channel. I watch all ads completely. Keep up the good work
Discovered this channel recently and I love your work. Can you do an analysis on Inter Milan and their 3-5-2.
Estos videos de tacticas estĂĄn muy buenos. Se me pierden algunos conceptos por no conocer el ingles a profundidad pero los graficos ayudan a entender. Muy buen video sigan asĂ.
Great video, I have heard about the concept, but not really learned how it works until now. Thx
The person(s) behind this clearly read books of soccer that have been published. Thanks for the study and great visuals, much appreciated. Keep up the good work.
Even as someone who doesn't watch or know a lot about football, you did a great job of explaining what's going on. Good video
The short passing also enables them to press fast and agressive when they lose the ball as there is loads of City players present in the area already, from the short passing, this disarms the opponent counter attack. The players always have to be aware; if I lose the ball here, am I covered? It is the defense's job to deliver the ball, to the attackers, in the final third, so that they can do their magic. From this point on they are free from positional play. Another mechanisme to disable counters is that the first thought is to always pass deep forward towards the 9 this will lead to more players behind the ball and thus is safer. The initial 433 diamond (transitioned into 343 diamond) explained by Cruyff to play with 3 in the mid as opposed to 4231, is implemented in order to have those 3 men behid the ball (Amongst many other reasons). in that sense, the system is fairly defensive. Disabling defenses by freeing up a player(with ball) in the zone between their attackers and defence is spot on deadly and can best done with two strikers creating an almost mano a mano lst vs lcb, rst vs rcb with a cm almost freely to play in the . This is the diamond in Barça system, where they dance around with. The intire Barça system consits of playing in the third zones, thus horizontal and vertical.
What do you think about the new Barça formation 1-2-1-6.
đđ
Lol đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Valverde the god
6 are defenders or forwards
Amazing! I always look forward to your content!
His use of the center back's and how they are the foundation of possession game is all I would add to this, even In a tight spot there are always options to pass. it is beautiful to watch.
And now what he's done with jhon stones in that hybrid role is just genius
this is huge mate i wish valverde could watch your channel i mean come on you can teach him a lot
Liverpool wouldn't be champions league winners if Valverde watched these videos
Augusto hahahaha the guy lost 3-1 to levante he is full of surprises .
yes he can teach him to pass the ball around 20 times and then pass it to Messi. unlike now when they pass the ball around 10 times before they pass it to Messi
Pep wont take charge over Braca because their stars are nearing the end of their carrier and hell need at least 500Mill$ to make Barca a great team again. Pep doesnt like challenges
@@bsman321 Pep doesn't like challenges?
Taking over Barça in 2008 was a challenge, They hadn't won anything and pep hadn't managed a senior team before. That is a BIG challenge.
@@sy6396 first of all it was his first job, he had no choice.
2nd he spent about 200mill $ in his first season, that was a huge amount.
since then he took Bayern the easiest job in the world at that time. then he went to City and spent over 800 mill $ in 4 years on new players.
as a Madrid fan i really hope Pep comes back to Barca. no Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol and with an aging Messi Pep wont even know where to start.
Awesome video, could you do more videos highlighting successful teams over the last decade or two? Highlighting tactics and the personel affecting them. Looking for tactical inspiration, teams like Pep's Bayern, Sarri's Napoli, Wenger's invincibles, Jose's Real Madrid, Ancelloti at Chelsea and Milan, Allegri at Juve and more
Heynckes Bayern treble winners, Klopps Dortmund.... focus on some specific seasons?
That was a lot to take in. Very well explained! âïž
dude its never simple but you have the talent to make it look so
Is it strange that after this video i want to play fm20? đ
@Ayoub Nait you should give fm 19 or 20 a try, they have evolved really whell jn terms of tactics
@Ayoub Nait i never played that, it is a classic, didn't have interest in football back then
@@pytergomes6321 The only thing I didn't like about FM20 is that central play was pretty much non-existent. I remember trying a 4-2-3-1 in Barcelona with Messi obviously playing as the AMC. It was like my midfielders didn't know they could find the best player of all time in loads of space with a simple pass in between the lines and just kept passing the ball around until they got to the wide regions which really pissed me off. Ultimately, I had to move Messi to the RW and only use the wider regions and rely on their quality (which I hate). That led to Messi scoring less than he should but assisting a little bit more.
@@cronos8832 yh i had similar problems with JoĂŁo felix, i spent 120M and i could not take use him in his best position cause he did not had the ball moust of the time.
Hope fm21 fix this
@@pytergomes6321 I read on their page that they have completely reworked central play in FM21. There are now more interceptions, more fluidity in the players off the ball movement, more fluidity in ball movement, and better animations. Goalkeepers are also more intelligent, meaning that based on how high their decisions stats are (I think) they'll know when they should go to the ground or stay put. Based on what I've read, all of us who love playing through the middle were given our gift.
This channel keeps making my day :)
I think if I start mentioning Horizontal & Vertical Zones to my players they will get confuse. For me in any formation you need to have an attacking and defensive shape. I always say to my players when in possession you are out of position lose possession get back in position. When attacking have the units together is nothing new, but by having them close if you lose the ball you don't have far to run to press and win the ball back. I see what you mean about the zone as a coach possession is all about angles and distance and looking of playing the ball between the lines. Lets no for get the possession game is nothing new. Liverpool in the 80's were a great passing side along with Forrest. Also you can only play in a certain way or system depending on the players in your squad.
amazing comment, i disagree with the latest part, cause you can always improve your players to adapt your players to the way or system you want to apply, exactly as Pep has done with Bernardo, KDB, David Silva, Rodri, Lahm, Touré, Alaba, etc
Agreed but Pep buys players with top top technical ability.
@@tacticaltouchgrassrootssoc6980 and tactical awarness
@@gandoulawajdi7155 you are wrong. Pep does not buy players with tactical awareness, he however buys young technical players. The tactical part is where Pep's coaching comes into play. He improves players tactically as well as technically. Look at sterling. Before Pep arrived Sterling was average both in technical and tactical terms. He was just fast. Look at him now. Players like Fernandinho, Bernardo Silva, mahrez have all improved tactically. Also Aguero has added more to his arsenal. Under Pep, he frequently plays a false 9 that drops deep to link up with the midfield an improvement from when he was under Mancini and Pelligrini where he was just a traditional center forward.
Fernandinho at 35 years is still playing good and ina demanding system of Guardiola. Not only that, but he has been shifted from his preferred Cdm role to Center back and he has do ne well. That is all down to Pep's coaching.
This channel is amazing keep it up Lad đ Saludos amigo đ”đ·
Excellent video man you have done it again
Nice explanation man, I love your channel.
Wonderfully explained. Can you also make a video on Nunes buildup as well.
The graphics and content is awesome! What app do you use for the graphics?
Gr8 videođ„ but what's the title of the song used in the background?
How do you know this? Are you such a good analyzerđ, or is there any reference that anyone could look at. I love these videos man, I hope these couod be used in FIFA or something đ
Google
@@idccdi0016 I look at it as if there are three options: tell him the answer, give him the answer, or say something unrelated to the answer. I never tried to be an asshole to you, sorry for making you feel bad. I was simply using my logic, but I can agree with you that perhaps replying as if this were a debate maybe isn't the best thing to do. I apologize for that, hope you have a nice rest of your day.
Alfred Rieder Youâre smart. That is for sure. Really, I mean that. Sorry too.
This has to be the most civilised thread I've ever seen
@@shantanusinha2828 haha I was kind of an asshole beforehand.
Aguero has been dropping of a lot recently especially against teams that keep their last line of defence very vertical and rigid not allowing space for Aguero to find too much space in the box. (Sort of like a false nine role on the final phase of attack)
Youâre actually a hero and I love your analysis videos
1:15 - In hockey (or "ice hockey" as you might call it) this is called "cycling". You make passes intended to make the defence follow and isolate one player or create a lane for a slapshot from the point. The difference from football being thatt the walls are live (no out of bounds, bouncing passes off the walls) and physical contact (hitting, checking) is normal play.
I have a new you favourite football channel!!!! officially subscribed
Last 3 minutes of this video were quite nicely explained
Well when I did my coaching course in Argentina, we use 5 vertical lines and the horizontal might be 9 or 10 meters long in order to have a short team
More of this please. Please do a Klopp analysis
You mention in the beginning talking on the 18 zone tactic in a previous video, can you add the link to watch that particular video?
Thanks for the vid. You've explained it clearly. Now I'm going to apply it in fifa đđđ great vid btw
"No more than 3 in Horizontal Zones and No more than 2 in Vertical Zones" How do you organize the line up if you start the build up from the GK and all of the player in their own half?
Pls do analysis of Leicester and Chelsea tactics
What is different between Pep and Sarri Build up play ?
Now that's something I wanna see
Pep's build-up is more about creating chances by using the full width of the pitch and the use of half spaces as he mentioned in the video. It is more organized by assigning each player a task as he always has 5 players to attack and 5 players to defend much like a W-M formation
Sarri on the other hand, tries to create overloads on one side and build the attack up with short passing combinations.The main player in his buildup being the regista or Deep lying playmaker (jorginho or pjanic). Everything in the buildup happens thru this player. To create chances his teams rely on third man runs.
Overall,pep has a wider approach to the buildup which does not depend on any particular player. Sarri on the other hand has narrower approach and his buildup revolves around the Deep lying play maker
Sagar Parekar Well said
Sagar Parekar Excellent explanation. As a Chelsea fan I really enjoyed Sarri ball but when the opposition marks the regista with one/two players sarri ball collapses but with pep it doesnât and very unpredictable
@@randyowusu8504 yes..that's why sarri ball wasnt effective in the PL. As a fellow Chelsea fan I,too, was disappointed that it didn't work out with sarri
Beautiful analysis, you know your stuff
Almost as sophisticated as my trainer's tactics in the regional second division. Our main winning plan is like 'keep shooting as the wind supports us!'
He tells us this in both half times...
@@JP-yt3hd Well, this is Hungary. Fifth division (regional 2). This is where all the fun happens :D But belive me, coaches in the first div aren't much better
I can see the simplicity in your explanation, but I can't understand everything you are talking about. Please add subtitles in Spanish, I need them. I've never seen such a professional explanation of pep's positional game. Greetings from Chile, I love your videos â€
Fantastic vid & analysis
Excellent advice and information
Good Content- Keep it up
Great video, please do klop the nemeziz of pep and also sarri
Nice video.
I agree genius he spending millions to fix any problem
he is a great coach but he can only work with high quality players who can adapt to his styles. so he is not the best coach
Purushothaman Ventakakrishnan,what are you talking about?
@@purushothaman6698Venkatakrishnan it really is logical to say that his style of play can only sit well with the talented players. This is why you see more defensive, long-ball football from smaller league sides or smaller teams in general.
This is not a Football Manager journeyman challenge that every manager has to do in real life to prove himself.
Can't you guys just sit fucking back and enjoy? You wouldn't tell a brilliant scientist that their budget has been cut so they can not use their equipment, and then tell others you're dissapointed that science isn't what it used to be. Just enjoy that a genius like Guardiola has this budget, while being in his own prime as a coach.
He uses a 5 line system. Starting ten yards before half way line and ending on edge of 18 yard box. Wingers stay high and wide and constantly run in behind and don't get the ball 9/10. It's as simple as that.
It's nothing new. Teams playing 3-5-2 do that.
nice work thank you
i thoroughly enjoy your videos
Under Arteta first game as Arsenal manager from his move away from Pep; I noticed how wide he kept his wingers, literally a foot from the sidelines! Players were positioned closer together but in a way that they were supposed to be there (in their assigned area/boxes) which created more accurate passes and possessions.
I also noticed he pressed with a 3-2, with Saka & Nile pushing up and Torreira or Xhaka dropping back at times. In result, Saka had many chances but unfortunately failed to deliver decent crosses. Also he uses Ozil in that half boxes/area btw the midfield and defenders, which allowed Ozil to create several chances.
With that system, Bournemouth were unable to freely press, bc Arsenal fullbacks/wingers were stretching their fullbacks out, the midfield were compacted, but unfortunately the lack of world class central defenders at Arsenal is very troubling and cannot be fixed unless reinforcements can be brought.
All to say, itâs evident that Arteta is developing a similar tactic at Arsenal, which will take a couple of months if not a season or two, and once he find the right players in the market or at the club, then he can fully transform the club. #COYG
well this aged poorly.
Hi, what software did you use for the pitch/players?
this is sounds very similar to noumans tactical analysis videos
Awesome job
Didn't this pitch framework and positional play come from Michels & Cruyff from which Pep learnt when he played under Cruyff?
Really rare things..someone making positive video on pep
Please after about two or three matches, would it be possible to make a video on the differences and similarities between Guardiola n Barça's Setien?
this is by far the best tactical analysis video I've seen so far.
PS: it would be much appreciated if anyone could point out other high quality analysis videos like this.
You are goddamn right
Piotr foot
The best of the best , his brain ia just amazing . Its unbelievable what he has done at football. All the other managers looks the same but he is something different and unique!
This type of functionality is only possible with lots of work, possession and organize support movement, as long you keep possession. you are more able to control the game, making space, have enough time, to create, identify and exploit those space that the opponent will leave when they are try to close down the space between players and line.
Do a video on Sheffield United with those attacking center backs
how funny, that I just came up with that tactic recently in football manager!
If you had done so 15 years earlier, you could be very successful now
Buen video muy informativo, yo lo reforzaria con videos reales para mas dinamismo.
Wow... Pep sounds like a meticulous guy. Super deep analysis.
Please make a video of "Der Klassiker" tomorrow! :D
It is not possible to respect max-two-players-vertically rule in every circumstance. Players' distribution over zones is not the same when the ball is in central and far right zone. So, if ball is far right, then far left zone will be left with only one player - > one other zone with three.
Is there any content suggesting this? I haven't found it at Spielverlagerung.
This video is a masterpiece.
Could you do something similar explaining the 3-2-4-1 that Pep has used of late?
FMS, I want to see you explain Tuchel positional play
Here should be also explained, that having the wingers wide creates more chances in 1:1 play. This is the difference to other teams who use full backs to create width. Everyone will agree that Sterling or Sane would be much better in 1:1 than Walker and the other full back. So with having KDB City can easily transfer the ball from one wing to the other and hence utilize the above..
Plus, having the full backs not running on the wing till the other side of the pitch makes them not that tired and keeping them in this zone helps the team to protect against counter-attacks - because usually the full backs are the fastest defenders.
Amazing workâŠ
Would love to see a video on Conte his Inter
You are amazing, I know Guardiola style since 2010, and it has not changed, but rather developed and added to the details
** iam sorry i not speak english good
What is the name of program you used for animations?
That's what I see in a Manager , what he offers to football . I'm okay to Mention Pep as a Great Manager even if he doesn't win anything at all . Reason I call Bielsa a Great Manager as well regardless of the Trophies they've won . Master of Transitions & Player understandings.
The way Silva Find his half space or through balls and Kevin running in the wing and get the ball from Barnardo is the most effective and it always turn out to be a Goal.
Silva the legend has gone, sane the roadrunner has gone? Aguero getting older? Fernandinho almost done, ake ,ferran torres all need time to adapt? I dont see man city winning the league this season also
Hey plz make a video on how guardiola has his tactics for defence.
Can you do Mourinho's one? of his Inter days.
what software are you using?
In my Sunday league a coach once suggested leaving a man way behind the back four to prevent goals. Obviously doesn't understand offside
@Ciaran Smith ya ya just didn't think other people would understand the term
That's desperate. I played as a sweeper. But never played more than 3 yards behind the FBs. And our team played with WBs.
What's the music at the end of the video?
those brilliance was destroyed by pep's overthinking itself
Hi I really like ur videos but could u do a who should replace unai Emery at arsenal thanks
tms Eddie Howe would be good if you could get him
"Less about pointlessly passing the ball": to me that is a breathtakingly simplistic and ignorant dismissal of one of the very greatest teams in league history and a pretty damn good international one
You need to do one on Jurgen !
Berhalter does positional play too! But doesn't get the same results :P
i used same tacticts in "the manager" in 1990 .
I consider him a great coach but I donât think he should be in the same tiers as the greatest coaches of all time until he takes a team that hasnât won anything and gives them glory cuz thatâs a truly daunting task that only the greatest can achieve without having anything handed to them
Plz do a video on Sarri's Juve đđ»
Don't have to know much. He makes good use of the squad he's got. He analyses which player fits in a position. For eg. He doesn't like playing Dybala, Ronaldo and Higuain together. He puts two at a time because their positions are similar. Dybala started to perform very well since sarri has arrived
The tactical side of footballđ€€đ«
2 words: THANK. YOU.
Ole was able to dismantle this system with the help of a five back and a double pivot. Make a video on how Ole was able to break this system and how is he able to play great football against the top 6.
