Barcelona killing Newcastle’s m2m:
•Reset + switch to overloaded left → m2m unsettled & roles disrupted.
•Yamal & Raph narrow, Cancelo high & Lewa deep → free the halfspace.
•Anticlockwise Lewa–Fermin rotation → open diagonal lane + attack the HS.https://t.co/wgt7G5519Q
Randomly came across this Video on Instagram where Palmeiras kids came to USA for a Futsal competition and made the other kids look like they should be in school😂!
I’m sure next time they will not invite them😂!

https://t.co/ZKW4CCUDoY Focus with me on Fermin’s movement here. Look at the action from the start: even though the ball was wide on the left, Bilbao’s fullback stayed close to Lamine, which is something many teams do because of how dangerous he is. The problem is, this always creates a big gap between the opponent fullback and the rest of the defensive structure.
That gap was there from the start, but Olmo didn’t exploit it effectively. Fermin, however, immediately recognizes the space and runs into it, forcing Bilbao’s fullback to follow him and completely opening the lane for Lamine to score.
Fermin’s brilliant spatial awareness is one of my favorite aspects of his game.
The problem isn’t that we don’t know what works. It’s that too many programs still avoid it…
This is Ajax training in the 90s. Drills into sprints. Bounding. Resisted runs. Stair jumps. Strength work. Agility. No gimmicks, they were training off principles that still hold
Barcelona's warm-up before the 2011 UEFA Champions League final against Manchester United at Wembley Stadium.
Imagine finding yourself in the middle 😭😂
