RELATIONAL FOOTBALL
Clip from my U16 training - 11v10 game
This is maybe the best sequence we ever created in training when it comes to all the aspects in relational football

- One goes up, the other one drops down - Opponent needs to take decision

- Create overloads and tilts - Create diagonal lines with the "Toco y me voy" - I pass and I go. Right back goes in centrally (@JOGOFUNCIONAL1 )

- Left back comes in centrally - Left wing drops in - Left back goes up high.

Please share and give feedback!

TILT/Overload - RELATIONISM - INTENTIONS
-

How can we teach young players to play more with each other and specifically close to each other?

Fernando Diniz: “Play close to each other, ALWAYS, and if it goes wrong, fuck it and move on”

And it’s gonna be a lot of mistakes with young players. But as long as we coaches believe in them and learn them to play close to each other and specifically close to each other they will learn so much!

RULES IN THE EXERCISE DOWN BELOWE:
-Two teams 4v4/5v5
-2 or 3 players along the line (orange players)
-To play in to the other zone, both players on the line in the zone need to touch the ball.
-If the other team win the ball they will score in the mini goals.

@Leo_nxgen Thanks bro! Appreciate it🙏❤️

PASS and GO! - Intentions of Relationism - Create "Tabelas"
The Number 5 in this clip is my left-centerback. That's fine with me, less structure and more freedom for younger players creates better footballers in the long run in my opinion. With the ball, my players have an incredible amount of freedom.

This is a situation in a match where we are down 1-3 with four minutes left but my players are still trying to find situations where we can play more on feeling and intention with each other than just sending long balls towards goal.

Fantastic goal that unfortunately wasn't enough to win

@mjavery11 I like this one if you haven’t read it already! Very easy to understand and a lot of good things to learn from.

RELATIONISM! - Intentions - DIAGONAL ATTACKS
If you want to teach younger players to play more relationally and fluidly, you have to let them play on instincts with their teammates and on intentions.

My players have a lot of freedom in the in-possession phase. Structure is not important to me. Make decisions, help each other and play fluidly on intentions.

RELATIONISM!

Here is an exercise that is very similar to that one I uploaded here last week. But instead of small goals, I created a 3v2 situation. This is maybe the best clip from that exercise!

Check out in the thread for another goal with some relational influence.

Intentions for relationalism and fluid football.

I tried a new exercise yesterday connected to diagonality, numerical advantages and combining small area, attacking large.

Exercise:
6v4 where the yellow team had to put together 7 passes before they were allowed to pass a player outside the figure who "played out" (scored in small goals).

It turned out very well actually.

Points to press:
Minimize the number of touches depending on the situation, pass go and constant movement to make everything flow.

This weekend we scored a new goal with some influence from relational football.

"Without a partner to dance with there can be no Relationism. It takes two to Tango."

We had the patience to stay on the same side the whole clip and played in to the same space 4 times. The "one two" or the "pass/go" was also a big part of this goal. "Tabelas" or what I called it - Ladders is something we talk a lot about. Can we always create ladders in diagonal lines?
-
But also the rotations between my players. Number 43 (plays as a 10, number 15 right CB and number 83 is my right wingback. But the rotations on those players doesn't matter to me, as long as my players constantly moving across the track into empty spaces

[CoachBramsell @CoachBramsell]

No I wouldn’t say that. It was like over a night that I decided that Relational football is going to be my philosophy. I have watched a lot. I follow Malmo FF and Henrik Rydström and a friend of mine who is a totally nerd when it comes to Brazil and relational football.

So he helped me a lot, then I have started to read a lot about it, and watched a lot of videos on YouTube etc. Hope that’s was answer for your question:)

@Af948384054 Didn’t remember exactly but I think it was 4 meters in from all the lines. So 4 meters from both sides and and same from the goal line

[CoachBramsell @CoachBramsell]

How do you coach U16 players to play more fluid and more relational football?

I have talked so much about this with my boys recently. Shown clips on Fluminense, Henrik Rydström´s Malmö FF and Kim Hellberg´s Middlesbrough.

For me, coaching and teaching my players the game, all the different situations and relationships, is so much more important than a structure.

In my team, we talked a lot about creating ladders. EVERYWHERE on the pitch. And to create ladders, we need to be close to each other, but most of all. TRUST and BELIVE in yourself and your teammates!

The exercises in the clip below:
9v9+2 (GK on one side each)

Just a simple possession game where the players for points for doing an "Corta luz" and create "Tabelas/Escadinhas"

I have find my way to play football. And it’s pretty much Relational football.

BUT it’s also pretty hard to learn 16 year old boys that. We have watched a lot of clips from Fluminense and how they tilt the team.

Here my team. 5 players on the side, 1/2 touch —>pass, go. And den a defensive midfielder in the last line and attacks.

This type of football is lovely to coach and specially watch!😍⚽️

[CoachBramsell @CoachBramsell]

Thanks mate! Appreciate that❤️

Ye 100%. After my UEFA B licence I realised that in every UEFA course you talked and only learned structured Positional play.

For me it’s 100% up to my players to take a decision then we analyse it after and reflect. That’s why I think relational football (not only) is a good way to go. If you want to develop youth players!
