Watching back hours of footage from each season as part of my project and realised how much I took for granted watching this 4. Even if we didn’t get the result, they’d always put on a show and play sexy futsal🕺Kings of the “pisada”.None had seen futsal before uni #BUCSfutsal

3v3: 📐🧠 Training scenes of the game: Sporting v Bodo; Counter movements.

Loved watching these counter movements in wide areas that Sporting used to beat Bodo in the UCL; including a session which I think would be useful to train these in a 3v3. Excited to see where the FA's 3v3 model will go over the next years.

Extremely grateful for last week being a part of the England staff for the FIFA Futsal Word Cup qualifiers, at Loughborough University which was my home for so many years. My lifelong dream came true to wear the 3 lions and to sing the national anthem alongside incredible people

[David Tapia Owens @12DTO]

Incredible first conference by @EnglandFutsal which was a pleasure to be a part of. Can’t wait for the next one

[Sion Kitson @KitSion]

Providing a diverse coach education offer that excites, motivates and upskills coaches is our commitment. To put on the first @EnglandFutsal coaching conference to support this vision during International Futsal Festival Week was a remarkable achievement. The first of many!

[David Tapia Owens @12DTO]

Team identity built around adapted futsal concepts using diagonal and vertical lines to progress the ball, possibly too many corta-luz which the players have fallen in love with and grouping players in spaces they identify as important in each game. Always a joy to watch 🪄

[David Tapia Owens @12DTO]

@Insidesoccermag Thank you for your kind words Kris and for always being so supportive of our content

Moved to 🇪🇸 5 years ago as I wanted to learn as much as possible and see what happens. Not exactly been a smooth journey but getting a shoutout by the legend Marc Carmona during an ElPozo vs Barça was a surreal experience, an honour and a much needed boost to keep going 📈

@12DTO's latest @UEFAFutsal Euro Goal study getting a deserved shoutout on Spanish TV for the recent @PozoMurciaFS @FCBfutbolsala Match 👏👏

Set Piece Variation ✍️📒⚽️-

Enjoyed seeing Man United using the same set piece with a different execution over the last week dictated by the defensive reaction.

One of my favourite things about Futsal is the ability to utilise the same set piece with multiple variations depending on the defensive set up, space, individual reaction & strengths.
