one of the smartest ball-carriers in the game.
—understands the (overconfident, cautious + mute) relationship the opposition defenders’ have in 1v2s and can exploit it.
—high awareness + cognitive speed = ability to create the ‘puppet phase’ even in continuous, dynamic 1v1s.
Is the GK really creating a significant advantage in certain zones of the pitch?
Progression depends only on the pass, and often without attracting enough pressure first.
So my question is:
should we always use him… or is there sometimes a better option behind?
This is how modern football looks like:
-2 or 3 wide players - make space for a winger for inswinger cross - wide combinations mostly to be able to cross or shoot
-overload far-post
-forcing def - 6s or Ws to drop deep to participate in box def
Not creative but effective.
Coaches often teach one 1v1 skill - but the trick to ‘outwitting’ opponents is to have an alternative ready to deceive the defender who reads the first move
A ‘fake’ moving screen changes from the body language of a moving screen at the last millisecond ‘going against the flow’
One of the biggest misconceptions that needs to change in the coaching world is..."Head up when you're dribbling."
This simply is not true or even possible.
The truth is just like everything else, choosing the right moment to look up/down is the skill.
Erste, kleine Eindrücke zu #Riera & #SGE:
📌 Klassisches Positionsspiel
📌 Ballkontrolle, durch Spiel in die Breite - vom Druck weg
📌 +1 Überzahl in erster Linie, um den Ball zu sichern
📌 Verlagerungen um den Block, um Lücken beim Gegner zu provozieren
I've always been fascinated by De Zerbi.
Regardless of opinions about style, he's one of the very few genuine innovators within the Positionist paradigm.
His vision of football can be read as beautiful or dystopian; the desire to impose his interpretation of tempo is unrelenting.
When our self-worth is on the line, we protect it by giving ourselves an out.
"I didn't really train for this race."
"This job is just to pay the bills." "
I didn't actually want it anyway."
Under-preparation is a coping strategy to shield our ego from harm.
We'd rather not try than try and find out we weren't good enough.
@SelecaoTalk@10Kundera Again, depends how you define it.
Position Play: (intentionally) Using one’s position in relation to the game constraints to effectively achieve the game objective.
Positionist teams focused on finding a free player often only gain a minimal offensive advantages this way as their opponents can easily anticipate their attacks. When the free player is eventually found, opponents will likely just retreat and defend the space in behind.
