Xabi alonso as a player was an absolute monster. I still can remember his long passes through the whole field, it's like pirlo but with dynamite in the leg
@QWERTYpiv that's true like we've seen that Real madrid in their current state are too much for 95% of all the teams in europe so we can't compare to that team that got trashed 4-0
Yea, we've seen that vs Union Berlin who parked the bus even much less than West Ham did vs Leverkusen but still Vini couldn't do anything to break through Union defenses. And Leverkusen thrashed Union two times this season. You're just being arrogant
You do realise while the game plan is similar they don't have the same tactics for all the games? It's tailored for each game to negate their strengths. Loll this ain't fifa boy. One team same tactics all season. He'd probably open the formation a bit to close out a fast counterattacking team. Again you can have all tactics you want but it's the players on the pitch that need to implement it.

They are using a really old but effective system to perfection here. It’s called “The triangle”. If all players are always in triangular positions in accordance to each other, there’s a lower chance of the opponent stealing the ball due to 2 players always being open. The reason why neverlosing is so good at this is because the players work rate. You need players who are completely bought into this system so that the team works as one unit ultimately creating triangular positions for eachother. Xabi is a genius to make this work so well
I think the biggest thing that makes this tactic work is there’s no egos in the team. In a team like City, Haaland wont be passing the ball around. Or PSG, Kylian will want to take a shot, not pass the ball back n forth. Very refreshing to see a team of pure army-like players that use their chemistry and patience to beat their opponents.
