    What is striking to me is the increased need for football intelligence on the field. For many of these systems to work well the players themselves must not only understand and practice the principles involved, but be able to adjust them real time to changes in the opposition. What I saw in the MC-ARS game was Gündoğan, De Bruyne and Haaland recognizing changes in Arsenal and adjusting for them at pace. I do not know if Guardiola coached it, but there were times where De Bruyne ran behind the opposing midfielder and then split out one way or the other from the blind spot. Every time Arsenal changed positioning City changed theirs to match.

      Agreed! Ability to read the game and adjust accordingly is so critical. Taking advantage of the opponent’s blind spots and gaps in dangerous areas is the ultimate goal of every attacking move. Gotta think steps ahead of the opponent.
      As for defending, once you choke the central areas and starve opponents space, and most importantly the team players are constantly communicating with each other on opponents trying to take advantage of blind spots, the defensive phase of play would be coordinated and solid!

      to beat a press you either bypass it entirely by going more direct and vertical (which is what city did to arsenal) or you have players who can dribble the ball out of defence or trap the ball in midfield and turn out (this is more risky as you risk giving the opponent easy chances if you lose the ball). As soon as you take one player out of the opponents press it opens them up as you gain quantitative superiority.

    Great video!
    I also wanted to note that different ways of "creating the box" can have different tactical deficiencies in transition as well.
    Moving the fullback tends to leave that specific wide area open as the distance the fullback needs to cover is quite large is one example.
    So far, Guardiola's solution of playing Stones, a CB, in this position is the best solution. He is close to the center to break defend, and isn't far from his defensive position in Guardiola's 4-4-2.
    Absolutely exceptional.

    • @thuo1000
      @thuo1000 Рік тому +18

      Bro, your comment deserves an A+. I completely agree with what you wrote. The Inverted Fullback Method that Pep was using so frequently earlier this season and over the past seasons had deficiencies during transition. It is why Walker was so vital for City. Walker was the only Fullback with much needed pace to sprint back and cover when City lost the ball and the opponent launch a counter attack. But Walker is getting older and Pep is looking for other more efficient tactical tweaks.
      But like you said, Pep realizes this and he saw that having Stones invert would minimize the distances his players cover during transitions. When City have the ball, Stones become the second CDM, when City lose the ball, Stones can easily get back to his CB slot and make a back 4 in very little time.
      Also, for this Arsenal game, Pep infused Roberto De Zerbi's (Brighton Manager) tactic of baiting the opponent to create space. Pep is a true student of the game.

  • @charlesbritten4220
    @charlesbritten4220 Рік тому +11

    The key difference with the current use of 3-2-2-3 and the old WM is that it used to be a case of both sides playing the same formation and matching each other all over the pitch, with very little switching of positions. It was the use of a deep-lying centre forward that destroyed the old WM. England just about defeated Austria 4-3 in 1932 when Sindelar was in this formation, but Hideguti was devastating for Hungary in 1953, aided by various other switches of position in what was essentially a 4-3-3. It left players used to rigid man-marking with nobody to mark, with Hungary creating overloads galore. The irony is that back then 4-3-3 dismantled WM, but now the reverse is true.

  • @Writeous0ne
    @Writeous0ne Рік тому +11

    What you'll find is football formations are very fluid and often change through the match. What is a 4231 on paper is a 433 of the ball or even a 424 off the ball. Where the striker and wingers press the back line or the cam becomes a second striker and presses a back 5 with the other two wingers.

  • @zelandakhniteblade5436
    @zelandakhniteblade5436 Рік тому +5

    The very old tactic that I think is under-utilised right now is split strikers. This was a relatively popular method in the 70s and 80s, if never reaching the level of striker partnerships. The theory was that most attacks were initiated by long diagonal balls so you put your strikers out there to collect them, then used attacking midfield players to flood the box late so as to be more difficult to pick up. Belgium played this way sometimes under Martinez with de Bruyne occupying the 10 role in a 4-4-2 diamond.
    Now imagine how this looks in a 3 man back line. I could, for example, easily see a 3-2-3-2 formation using this principle being highly effective. The back 5 line up as in this video but the CF turns into a third offensive midfielder. The aim is again completely different from the original one, with the main concept being to overload the midfield but now the effect is even more extreme than using a box. You do need highly flexible players to make it work but that's hardly an issue on City's budget. Maybe an option for when Haaland gets injured.
    Going forward tactically though, I suspect the direction will depend at least as much on referees as player development. Right now, the teams that dominate are either built around possession and press or around heavy defence and counters. One of the main reasons this works so well is the development of the tactical foul. If a press team has their top line broken, they can commit a minor foul and reset - no harm done. A referee might give the occasional yellow but not enough for it to matter and with so many subs available, you can just switch out if it does. On the opposite side, teams specialising in counterattack look to score their goals within a few seconds, meaning that there is likely to be at least a few chances in a game where they can avoid a foul. If the defence is strong enough, they only need one goal...
    This is for me the biggest issue in the current football. If refs sort it out, penalising niggly tactical fouls more harshly, we would probably see a new revolution in football tactics. I suspect there are a few top coaches around who would struggle if their tactical foul crutch got taken away from them.

    Formation only describes defensive structure AND how a team is setting up at the start of a goal kick.

      I agree with you. In an interview, Marcelo Bielsa was asked about him changing formation in a game. His response was some of the likes of ‘all the media has done is teach everyone that watches the game is geometry when it comes to formations. In a match, literally, all formations imaginable are displayed in very specific moments, wether attacking, or defending.’ It’s more about the functions players have during each phase and moment the playing action demands.

    When you boil it down, in order to score, you need to pass the ball up the field, and in order to do that you need to find the free man.
    All these sort of tactics are trying to do is to trick the opponent into allowing your team to freely receive the ball further up the pitch. Whether directly or indirectly.

    next dev in the meta: catenaccio zonal midblock to avoid rushing out on players leaving holes
    probably requires midfielders to adapt to tracking runners in, and pressing coming from players dashing OUT from the backline, like a blitzkrieg, while the midfielder fills to whole

    Spaniards make the best managers. The Spanish possesion football philosophy is the most effective system beating out the German pressing system.

      I like how in the past half a decade or so the top level football tactics has been a constant battle between these two philosophies with each one upping the other. In the past we thought Barcelona's tiki taka was the ultimate form of football then came Bayern and Liverpool with their high pressing system and we thought that nothing could beat this form of football but now with De Zerbi inspiring Pep we are seeing possession football getting the upper hand.

  • @benjamincompton9767
    @benjamincompton9767 Рік тому

    Formation is still a good term, I've noticed that most formations now describe the defensive structure(how I think it should work). On the flip side formations now sometimes get named on the attacking structure mainly when the structure is absolutely mental(think united's misfiring 316). For me the formation should be named after the structure the teams snaps back into when they lose the ball. I think this makes most sense because when thinking about how to play against a team, most tend to think about how to attack their shape. i.e. Are they playing a back three or a 4? If you are consistently coming up against 4 defenders, you would tend to think of it as 4231 or 433 etc.

    When you break down a 4 3 3 system you see exactly this formation in possession. It's really just having the right players and media attention. Having the right players to do a different instruction that surprises the opposition because they are not expecting it, and having the media pick it up.
    That's why the system went out of vogue before, and now looks like it's in vogue now. Surprise.

  • @abraham8178

    Before guardiola, most team have already push their fullback to overlap, hence left 2 center back with covering holding midfielders againts counter attack.
    While 2 wingers cutting inside, giving space to fullback, and the attacking midfielders help crowding the box during crossing stage, or filling the half space during possession
    Which made them 2-3-5 or hybrid 3-2-5 anyway before guardiola even start his first senior coaching job at barcelona

    • @AliMohamed-yq4wn
      @AliMohamed-yq4wn Рік тому

      Half truth, yes on offence and no on defence, teams that had overlapping fullbacks were susceptible to the counterattacks, specially in the wide areas, because they’d only have 4 players back on defence, prime example is Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal, their biggest weakness was counterattacks and 2nd balls leading to the defence breaking down in transition.

    Everything is a 4-4-2. Any alignment. Without 4 wide at defense, you're weak. Without 4 wide at midfield, your passed through. Without 2 forwards you can't attack properly and surprise with a runner on one side, with more in the attack (say 3 fwds) it becomes more controlled, predictable (as there are more narrow and fewer options to run) and stagnant. 2 fwds allow a more natural overlap or support.
    You wont be playing 5 v 4(or 3) on offense against anyone whos any good.
