Enzo Fernandez For Argentina Is Closer To Verratti…
But for Chelsea he looks so meh in terms of dictation of deeper areas. Why is that the case and would a move to a league like La Liga unlock the true playmaking genius of Enzo?

Xabi Alonso has been confirmed as the next manager of Chelsea 🔵
In his Coaches’ Voice Masterclass, Alonso took to our tactics board to explain the importance of adaptability in his players, using a switch from 4-3-3 to three centre-backs as an example.
Classic Alonso 4v4v4 possession drill (pressers, possessors,supporters)
High-intensity, intelligent football.
Exactly what the Blues need.

Xabi Alonso talking about his Gegenpressing play style:
- The importance of organizational tactics of counter-press situations.
- Adapt based on challenges presented by opponents.
Paul Winstanley is NOT responsible for the identification of transfer targets at Chelsea. His work centres more around the delivery of targets, through talking to and negotiating with clubs and agents. He is also heavily involved in player sales and the renewal of contracts. Winstanley is also involved in player support and football operations, such as performance and medical. (via @Matt_Law_DT)
Laurence Stewart’s role at Chelsea is more akin to a technical director. He is responsible for budget planning and style of play and football philosophy. That has included setting a broad style of football that Chelsea want their academy and first teams to play, so there is continuity throughout the club. Like Winstanley, Stewart’s other responsibilities include medical and the pair share a close working relationship. (via @Matt_Law_DT)
This video explains why Xabi Alonso has one of the lowest possession depths in football, which positively influences counter-press and defensive actions.
That's what we need: defend with counter-press and relieve the defense from pressure.
Beautiful stuff!
PSG showed their classic technical ability to destroy Bayern’s high press for an unstoppable goal. Then a different side to them: defensive masterclass as they sat in a deeper block but applied enough pressure up front. Elite CL formula that bodes very well for them in the final.
