England does that because they have weak defenders so they have to defend deeper as a team. And there isn't really a true holding midfielder to protect the defenders either.
Very qualitative video ! Which software do you use for your animation ? I'm French and We don't have any creator with this level of quality, it's impressive !
From what little I have seen of the euros i would say most teams lack a quality striker to score inside the box. Which is why I find Harry Kane playing deep and not leading the line very frustrating. If he played more as a poacher, let others do all the creative work people would have a better opinion of England
Yep. That would make the job easier for Bellingham as well. Ronaldo focusing on linkup play, Mbappe still adjusting to the mask and its discomforts...All that means the topscorer post is still open.
I have a theory: This year Euro has a lot of long shots partly because the properties of the football used allow players to have more reliable long shots
I live in Canada but my roots are in England (my dad was born there). And although I've always cheered on the England team, I will never root for a team if any player has, at any point in their career, knelt down before a match starts. (And, thankfully, I'm not in the UK so I can freely state this without being subject to harassment by your UK's Gestapo Woke-DEI-CRT-Trans police force.) Nor will I ever root for them again until every single player that did kneel, and every single coach that inspired this reckless behaviour, is no longer either playing / coaching that team. In fact, I will actively cheer on any team that they play. Sports is not a place for politics or cultural debates. Any player or coach who participates or incites this should be banned for life from that sport.
Idk how much home advantage actually matters here. I think Germany will have problems with the Spanish wings as their fullbacks are neither super good defensively or pacy enough to be able to keep up with Lamine and Nico speed wise. If Spain manages to shut off Musiala then they win as Germany are far more predictable than Spain in terms of how they attack.
@@Eruma_27Who have Spain got on the bench that are match winners Vs Germany. Sane and Fulkreig can come on and cause havoc when needed. I see this as a battle of both midfields. Spain's centre backs can't be trusted and they haven't actually been tested yet. Both Italy and Croatia were poor. Georgia showed how to attack Spain on the counter attack when they scored and should of scored at least another.
@@elitedog153 Georgia didn’t do anything really. Spain absolutely controlled that game. Italy and Croatia may have been poor from their own standards but both of them are still better than Scotland and Hungary by a decent amount. Germany didn’t beat the only good team they’ve played which is Switzerland and wasn’t convincing at all against Denmark either. Idk but I struggle to see this Germany side as favourites against the best team of this tournament so far.
The only difference is that they didn’t face a Spain without wing threat like Morocco did they faced a more complete Spain side which terrorball doesn’t work on that easily. You can no longer just sit back like that against Spain and win it’s not possible with the likes of Lamine and Nico there. That’s the big difference between this Spain team and the one at the World Cup. That Spain team really only had threat from midfield and in the centre this Spain team has danger from literally everywhere on the pitch including the fullbacks.
Bad to say that Germany were lucky to draw Switzerland. If anything that show Germany's strength. The swizz had help from that ref. How can you win if the ref lets fouls in the oppositions box free?
these tactics are meaningless when the ref is bought by the opposing team, like in the Germany-Spain 'game'. The spanish always buy the refs and Real Madrid are the worst of them all. No honest games with any team coming out of spain.
As a Dutch person I would love to see this in combination what the Dutch national team did wrong to counter Austria. Especially since Ragnick's playing style should have not been any surprise at all :-)
Spain is doing extremely well but have a tendency to choke. Young players tend to exacerbate the situation. Plus, the weak goal scoring options could create problems. The same problems as always. All the possession, none of the goals.
Mark my words. Germany's biggest weakness are its fullbacks and wings, where Spain is incidentally at its strongest offensively. Nico Williams and Cucurella are going to put the slow Kimmich through tons of trouble. Switzerland has shown, you almost entirely negate Germany's offense by closing up the middle, because there is rarely any danger that Mittelstädt or Kimmich are going to push through down the line. Spain will have easy game with Germany, it's a great match-up for them. France vs. Spain is going to be the title decider.
And Southgate is somewhere defending his horrible football and tactics on availability of his players With such a huge talented squad That is a crime It should definitely be 😢

Your analytic skills and easy and enjoyable way of presenting them really makes all your videos so very interesting and fun to watch! Thank you SO much!
As a south american I also feel like a thing people forget about "relationism" is how much it just refurbishes creating space in the zone 14 which is the late 90's and early 2000's new concept of seeing football that then gave born to the idea of half spaces and inverted wingers (being Ferguson and Rijkaard one of the most prominent coaches into the idea before positional football took it futher), which is basically that statistically most goals back then came from long ranged shots or cut ins or associatios/one twos in between the half spaces. So, by associating players in a numerical superiority usually in lay offs plays with lots of runners it creates perfect space in half spaces and in front the box for shooters such as Tielemans, Calhanoglu or Sabitzer to score bangers. (which I think is great, as there's been so many good players these last years who were very gifted in long ranged shots from outside the box but the tactic rigidity of most teams systems didn't let them shine in that matter) many tactical analysers and coaches from here just call the half spaces and the zone 14 in relatively the same fashion "la partesita de adentro" (the little part/pocket inside)
In fact, the Hungarians played this way in the 1950s, the Italians complained about the difficulty of marking the Hungarians as they concentrated players on one side and quickly switched sides with short passes.
Great video as always 👍 I noticed two other things about having 3 central defenders in the box at all times: 1) Starting central Strikers are having a goal drought. 2) lotsa goals from rebounds and second ball in the penalty box. 3) Counters agianst these leggy defenders at the end if matches are very effective, especially down the half spaces...
That is why calafiori is so dangerous for oppositions, by having a libero like mindset and making runs centrally takes a lot of team off guard marking their oppositions. I expect those sort of out fo the box plays in the knockout stages.
The strong defensive line youve mentioned at the end of the Video is the exact reason why weve witnessed so many own goals These Euros already. Something that shouldnt be underestimated is just how much of a psychological effect an own goal has on the players and on the whole game, especially the momentum.
1:52 wait England also use 1 pivot in declan rice Because TAA pushes up and Bellingham drops down but I think in some ways it's a double pivot But because rice is alone so its a single pivot who drops in the defence to make a back 5
National team managers don't have the time to drill their players to a T like club managers. Players need extra touches to find teammates, teams don't press quite as aggressively, managers have to do with the best players they have (even if it means out of position players), and the attacking is a lot more improvised which lends very well towards a relationist style of play and long shots from distance. Spain is unique because the players have known each other a lot more and play in teams that are tactically similar to Spain, so they can in fact play like a club team.
a thing i noticed about portugal is that they are not press ressistence. i noticed it st the turkye game first of all they played strched formation witch caused them to move the ball from one side to the other without breaking any lines. they are caunting on personal abilitys or opponents "mistakes" while not depending on overlouds i can see them strrugling against a team that press high up the pitch
You mentionned Spain playing differently, I'd also add France who has not really been building this way and they have been struggling. The CDM dropping in between the CBs is something that Pogba used to do a lot for France, and that imo has been severly lacking in the first two games when we are in possession. Tchouameni does it to an extent but he lacks the ball-playing capacities that Pogba had
As you've rightly said, the defensive formations of teams have been the major reason why more goals have been scored from outside the box. An example is the Denmark's equalizer against England, Denmark doesn't really have any good goal scoring chances in that game. However, hjulmand took the shot very quickly before England settled into their defensive shape and I guess his instinct was right, if he delayed a bit I think there would be bodies to block the shots from getting to pickford. Thank you for all you do, I am learning greatly from your analysis ❤
First I would like to comment on the reason for long-distance goals. I think it is a normal effect of teams that are not as well-developed as a team/system which national teams naturally are as opposed to club teams. With the overloads it requires a lot of patience and synchronicity to create chances. Therefore teams and especially individual players will lose patience and shoot from longer distances instead of creating better scoring opportunities. The more shots are taken, the higher the probability of seeing more long-distance goals. That combined with sub-world class goalies in some of the matchups and certain game scenarios (teams being down, tired after a long season, low level deep defending etc.) explains those goals for me. Also an effect, that would even out over a normal club-season I would think… Second I want to comment on the clear distinction between relationism and possession systems. I dont see that when I am watching the games. Certainly the level of freedom can vary, but even „classic“ possession systems like City or Arsenal use overloads in the relationism sense to create against deep blocks and at the moment it seems to emerge as the best and most stable solution to create chances against a deep block. You will see more ways to create overloads as explained in the video with the different styles of Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Portugal etc. and also in the club level with Alonso but also approaches like Motta and De Zerbi, intersting to see the Liverpool of next season! For me it all depends on the players roles and how and when they position themselves and create or use deep runs within the overload and what players you have to balance it out on the isolated weak side! For me there is no line between the two and we will see them fuse in ever more different ways in the future with maybe even more extreme overloads, but the game will always keep surprising us!
Everybody is saying how good Germany is but I think they’re overrated. They beat a pretty bad Scottish team which played with 10 guys for half the game. Hungary isn’t a great team either. When they played Switzerland which provided decent opposition Germany almost lost. I think they’ll get beat by the first decent team they encounter.
I don’t think it’s supposed to be the final at all: Top team of group A & B are destined to meet in the quarterfinal if they both win their Ro16 match, so actually this clash was anticipated weeks ago.
One trend is fast wingers dribbling past full backs innan exciting and effective way: Nico Williams and Lamal for Spain, Doku for Belgium, etc. Really enjoyable to watch!
In the first two games Germany rather played a skewed 2-3-5 where Kimmich played more offensively than Kroos. Kroos dropped into the defensive line occasionally, but not permanently. Against Switzerland Kroos played as DLP creating a clear back three, which didn't work out very well. Nagelsmann explained that he switched to the back three, because Switzerland pressed with three physical strikers.
There is NOTHING new tactically at these Euros. The only really interesting thong of notion to me is how much freedom and trust Riccardo Calafiori gets from Spalletti And how well he's keeping or exceeding those expectations without having the team suffer defensively. Calafiori has been the tournament's outstanding player as he's arguably the only player (MAYBE along with Musiala) who has had three good games.
Very simple: playing with a back 3 means there are more midfielders. Many teams want to press high because of data analysis. The machine shows which area gives more probability of scoring. This line of thought is well known and need no more of explanation. However, as Ancelotti said, when you put more player in one area you left space somewhere else.
I think people play 1.very high press (if successful) counter attack ,(if unsuccessful), building from the back. 2. ball gets into your side of the pitch, very low press, don't let enemy get into the box, don't let passes into the box. 3. very narrow defense, moving and defending as a block. when in attack very narrow too, getting player advantage on one side of the pitch if enemy has more ball to the other side of the pitch to make enemies tired. 4. a lot of one-two play to see how the opponent reacts...
I'm starting to lose count of the amount of references of Fernando Diniz on international football related videos. And here he's simply not recognized as a good coach by the majority of people I talk to
Germany hard to press 😂😂😂. The distances to successfully get them under pressure are totally there... There is an overall lack of aggression to hunt when the pressing distances are totally doable..
Diniz lost his confidence and completely changed his system up which destroyed how FLU normally plays. And let’s not forget that it’s still Fluminense .
I'm waiting on a video showing how this "Relationism" and the lack of evolution of this style led to the sacking of Fernando DIniz from the national team and now from Fluminense (who is currently on the last position of Brasileirão).
Brazil destroyed Diniz. He should of never been fired from the National team. Diniz Brazil had the performance of what you expect from a newly formed squad. He beat the teams they were supposed and were unlucky losing to Colombia and Argentina on set pieces. Uruguay game the team got out played. But you could see the vison and he had Brazil playing like old school Brazil . The Colombian game that they lost 2-1 highlights this .Each game they controlled . After the sacking at Brazil Diniz lost confidence and completely changed his style this season which completely destroyed how the team was used to playing. He then tried to go back to his original style but was to late . Let’s also not forget Flu is not a big club and has a fixed small budget. Leverkusen went undefeated this season using relational principles.
This just goes to show how bad the manager culture in Brazil is. You would never see an european team fire the manager that won the champions league in the next year unless something drastic happened. But here, just one string of bad results is enough. I saw a crazy statistic showing that in 10 years Flamengo had more managers than Liverpool in their entire history. This is absurd and it is hindering the development of good brazilian managers.
Why relationism tho? just because of Ancelotti with the best players in the world, of course any tactic would work with that. Ancelotti practically failed at everton with these tactics, a proper system is best like Xabi, Pep, Arteta, Enrique. More entertaining and provides more opportunities.
Only a filthy casual would downplay Ancelotti's achievements. He has more UCL trohpies than all those managers combined. He is the only manager to win the championship in all of Europe's top 5 leagues.
@@One.Zero.One101 Yet Pep has double his league titles and 3 champions leagues in half the time he has. When ancelotti has managed amazing teams like pep. Tactically he is no where near pep and positional managers alike.
To be fair Spain did not play against an offensive strong team yet, Croatia and Italy performed really bad in that regard, no runs behind the defensive line.

To be fair, Hungarians invented relationism in 1950.
More long shots are the result of the organized 11 man deep blocks that all teams are employing in their defensive third.

swiss is underrated...they won 2:0 against italy and will probably beat england...or it will be close
Very sad that Spain and Germany are meeting in the QF.....this was suppose to be the final
I don’t think it’s supposed to be the final at all: Top team of group A & B are destined to meet in the quarterfinal if they both win their Ro16 match, so actually this clash was anticipated weeks ago.
One trend is fast wingers dribbling past full backs innan exciting and effective way: Nico Williams and Lamal for Spain, Doku for Belgium, etc. Really enjoyable to watch!
In the first two games Germany rather played a skewed 2-3-5 where Kimmich played more offensively than Kroos. Kroos dropped into the defensive line occasionally, but not permanently. Against Switzerland Kroos played as DLP creating a clear back three, which didn't work out very well. Nagelsmann explained that he switched to the back three, because Switzerland pressed with three physical strikers.
There is NOTHING new tactically at these Euros.
The only really interesting thong of notion to me is how much freedom and trust Riccardo Calafiori gets from Spalletti
And how well he's keeping or exceeding those expectations without having the team suffer defensively.
Calafiori has been the tournament's outstanding player as he's arguably the only player (MAYBE along with Musiala) who has had three good games.
Very simple: playing with a back 3 means there are more midfielders. Many teams want to press high because of data analysis. The machine shows which area gives more probability of scoring. This line of thought is well known and need no more of explanation. However, as Ancelotti said, when you put more player in one area you left space somewhere else.
I think people play 1.very high press (if successful) counter attack ,(if unsuccessful), building from the back. 2. ball gets into your side of the pitch, very low press, don't let enemy get into the box, don't let passes into the box. 3. very narrow defense, moving and defending as a block. when in attack very narrow too, getting player advantage on one side of the pitch if enemy has more ball to the other side of the pitch to make enemies tired. 4. a lot of one-two play to see how the opponent reacts...
I'm starting to lose count of the amount of references of Fernando Diniz on international football related videos. And here he's simply not recognized as a good coach by the majority of people I talk to
Germany hard to press 😂😂😂. The distances to successfully get them under pressure are totally there... There is an overall lack of aggression to hunt when the pressing distances are totally doable..
When he said once England score and refuse to play anymore I laughed really hard 🤣🤣🤣
Please,, Make a Video on "overall tactics of South American Teams"
please review disastrous and chaotic Croatian "tactics"
What software are you using for these formation videos?
You didn’t even talk about Austria
Did anyone else notice the small detail at 5:23? It’s so cool!
Feature which stands out to me is the failure of set plays
DINIZ WAS FIRED! Unfortunally, he's relacionism is his only knowledge. Been the first doesn't mean be the best. I prefer Xabi's Leverkusen
Diniz lost his confidence and completely changed his system up which destroyed how FLU normally plays. And let’s not forget that it’s still Fluminense .
This is very well explained, good work
Copa america tactic review plz
Oh, they stole my idea
Great analysis, once again
Spain is winning for me
What are you italian?
Why so many own goals?
I'm waiting on a video showing how this "Relationism" and the lack of evolution of this style led to the sacking of Fernando DIniz from the national team and now from Fluminense (who is currently on the last position of Brasileirão).
Brazil destroyed Diniz. He should of never been fired from the National team. Diniz Brazil had the performance of what you expect from a newly formed squad. He beat the teams they were supposed and were unlucky losing to Colombia and Argentina on set pieces. Uruguay game the team got out played. But you could see the vison and he had Brazil playing like old school Brazil . The Colombian game that they lost 2-1 highlights this .Each game they controlled . After the sacking at Brazil Diniz lost confidence and completely changed his style this season which completely destroyed how the team was used to playing. He then tried to go back to his original style but was to late . Let’s also not forget Flu is not a big club and has a fixed small budget. Leverkusen went undefeated this season using relational principles.
He has good ideas, but he's mediocre and doesn't know how to change the way he plays when his team is encapsulated by a better opponent.
Quick notice, Fernando Diniz was fired from his last club Fluminense. They are the actual Champions of Copa Libertadores!
This just goes to show how bad the manager culture in Brazil is. You would never see an european team fire the manager that won the champions league in the next year unless something drastic happened. But here, just one string of bad results is enough. I saw a crazy statistic showing that in 10 years Flamengo had more managers than Liverpool in their entire history. This is absurd and it is hindering the development of good brazilian managers.
Why relationism tho? just because of Ancelotti with the best players in the world, of course any tactic would work with that. Ancelotti practically failed at everton with these tactics, a proper system is best like Xabi, Pep, Arteta, Enrique. More entertaining and provides more opportunities.
Only a filthy casual would downplay Ancelotti's achievements. He has more UCL trohpies than all those managers combined. He is the only manager to win the championship in all of Europe's top 5 leagues.
You are clueless. Do not disrespect Ancelotti like this.
@@Coach-rq6jx Explain why i am clueless? His tactic's are used in the Euro's and they are terrible.
@@One.Zero.One101 Yet Pep has double his league titles and 3 champions leagues in half the time he has. When ancelotti has managed amazing teams like pep. Tactically he is no where near pep and positional managers alike.
Great video 🎉
Pep Guardiola has revolutionised tactics which every coach are now using
European football getting less entertaining. Copa America more entertaining.
Pfft.
Hello, I would like to know what software you use for your illustrations?
I want YOU as England manager
To be fair Spain did not play against an offensive strong team yet, Croatia and Italy performed really bad in that regard, no runs behind the defensive line.
Croatia did create their chances but Spain defended very well in numbers too. Spain made it so that Italy couldn’t create due to their tactics btw.
