2016/17

During a short spell with City in 2016. I worked on the technical aspect, helping create something which aimed to bridge the gap between [technical] training and breaking blocks/teams centrally.

Focusing on;
- pass type
- pass weight
- tempo
- rhythm

Tempo - ball speed linked with pass type, weight and circuits.

Rhythm - applied by the individual player or small collective (passing in 3’s).

Rhythms can change in an instant, tempo can be constant. Rhythms can create unpredictability within the set tempo.

Timing of individual rhythm change or passing in 3's is the key. It becomes instinctual through exposure or training.

And here's George Best in the same game! So when they lie to you about all time greats of the past, this is what it really looked like

Similarly, the argument abt which caused the drop off first - Tuchel’s subs vs England’s mentality - ignores that the damage was done not in the 55th minute or the 72nd. It was done against Norway, in the group stages, on WC squad selection day.

[Harry Brooks @hbrooks_coach]

Until England realise that the greatest teams and players in this sport are the TECHNICAL forwards who understand game rhythm and tempo , they won’t ever win the World Cup.

You can not blood and thunder your way to win a World Cup.

“Passion”
“Blood, sweat, tears”
“Run until you can’t run no more”.

Great, stick it on a postcard, that approach is what makes England constantly fall short

[Umir Irfan @umirf1]

The risk taker wins big.

[Paul McGuinness @PaulMcG8]

Tuchel didn’t have belief in our ability to keep the ball & use combination skills not only to attack but also to help use the play around ring to keep the ball away from goal, defend by keeping possession & entice the opposition to press & leave gaps to exploit & kill the game

[Paul McGuinness @PaulMcG8]

If there’s one man in the history of football you don’t want to play attack v defence against for 25 minutes 🤷🏼‍♂️

In England we have a lot to learn about defending WITH the ball in the opposition half not just keeping possession but enticing & commiting v opponents to score again

@chrisadewoye1 The fuck you on about? You’re inviting them to have the ball and to cross, not to mention which player marks who is more confusing for cbs in a back 5 system

[_.fp01 @fp0119]

@Sponge75303 @ReceiptsNotSpin @BBCSport UEFA followed suit with similar format changes for their European comps.

[István Beregi @SteveBeregi]

The more describable a team plays the more tactical it is perceived = the better a coach's work is perceived.

The more intuitive a team plays the more chaotic it is perceived = the worse a coach's work is perceived.

A big paradox in football.

[F2P @Flair2Play]

All time playmakers/creators who still represent a consequential goal threat (especially in big games) don’t need to farm those 70+ G/As domestically to stay in best itw convos.
