After rewatching Barcelona's defensive breakdowns, I've come to one conclusion: the high line isn't the real problem. 🧵👇

@playwithtomide @ultimate_kombo What do you think — is the high line the real issue, or is it the press in front of it? Let me hear your thoughts in the comment section 🙏👇

@playwithtomide @ultimate_kombo 7/ That opened space behind him. 
The opposition exploited it instantly with a simple pass.
Had Balde stayed compact and shadowed the runner, the passer might have been forced into a worse decision or a slower attack.

[STOPTHATHAKIMI @Coach_Hakimi]

@playwithtomide @ultimate_kombo expose the high line.
12/ My conclusion:
The high line is more of a symptom than the disease. 
If Barcelona improve the intensity, timing, and coordination of their press, the high line becomes far less exposed. Pressure the passer → Protect the defense.

[STOPTHATHAKIMI @Coach_Hakimi]

@playwithtomide @ultimate_kombo 6/ Every player has a role:
The press needs to be coordinated, aggressive, and synchronized. 
One moment with Balde perfectly illustrates the issue.
Instead of staying patient, protecting the line, and delaying the attacker while waiting for support, he stepped out too early

@playwithtomide @ultimate_kombo 5/Barcelona’s issue isn’t *just* the high https://t.co/bTlosuRj1z’s the quality of the press before the ball ever reaches the defensive line.

[STOPTHATHAKIMI @Coach_Hakimi]

@playwithtomide @ultimate_kombo 4/ The high line then gets the blame.
But the real damage is done earlier when nobody denies the passer time or space. 
A high line becomes vulnerable when the ball carrier is comfortable.

[STOPTHATHAKIMI @Coach_Hakimi]

@playwithtomide @ultimate_kombo 3/ That gives the opposition all the time and space they need** to play the pass *before* the final through ball. 

Once that initial pass is allowed, the killer ball behind the high line becomes much easier to execute.

[STOPTHATHAKIMI @Coach_Hakimi]

@playwithtomide @ultimate_kombo 2/ It begins much earlier.

Midfield or wide players often fail to stop the attack at its source. They either don’t track back quickly enough or recover without applying real pressure on the ball carrier.

[STOPTHATHAKIMI @Coach_Hakimi]

@playwithtomide @ultimate_kombo 1/ I've taken my time to watch and analyze the goals Barcelona have conceded because of the high line.

After reviewing them closely, one recurring pattern stands out. 

The problem rarely starts with the defensive line itself.

[STOPTHATHAKIMI @Coach_Hakimi]

Ronaldo has played in five World Cups.
He has never won the Golden Boot, Golden Ball, or the World Cup. The only thing he lifted consistently was expectations. 😭😂

Did he play in the last world cup ?😂😂😂🤲 #worldcup #ronaldo #Fıfaworldcup #messi
