One of the best things about the work I do is being exposed to relational interpretations of so many teams all over the world. This is a clip from Thomas Pedersen's Brattvåg IL playing in the Norwegian 3rd Tier. Extreme proximity to generate connections around the ball carrier.

Enzo Maresca imposing his Positional Methodology at Chelsea. - Don't run to where the ball is. - Maintain your positions, stay in your positions. Positionist logic like this is an extremely powerful coaching tool. Hopefully more and more people are understanding how it works.

So often it is ShadowPlay that unlocks defences. Its amazing it isn't already a more prominent coaching principle and analytic metric. Interestingly, ShadowPlay directly opposes the almost universal UP-BACK-THROUGH.

Shapes, structures and patterns of play are secondary to player characteristics. Absolutely love creative ball players dropping deep to steer the build-up. Classic playmaking. Kane just walking out with the ball from the goal-kick is what European football needs.

Scaloni's Argentina simply aren't playing with the same fluency as they have. This clip is from 2021, but all players are in the WC 26 squad. Messi needs an associative partner like Lo Celso or Paz to sync with. Too many of his close combinations with Macallister break down.

Tuchel prefers to organise attacking interactions from clear starting positions. Ancelotti prefers player characteristics, tendencies and relationships to guide the attacking positions.

In terms of concrete tactical concepts, diagonal combinations are about as close to the mystical "Manchester Utd way" as you can get.

For modern Positionist coaches, the current shift to set-piece emphasis is inevitable. Increased physicality means defences can 'constrain spaces' (go man-to-man) better and for longer. Positionism requires these spaces to afford attacking combinations. So, we have a problem. 🧵

What happens when you analyse a tactical system from a different perspective? Wirtz turns into a left back? Woltemade's 9 gets flipped to become a 6? Numbers lose their meanings. It's all possible in the context of Julian Nagelsmann's extreme diagonality 🇩🇪↗️↘️↙️↖️

"...positional play has many good things, as many teams have shown over the last few years, but I think relational play is something few teams have done, but they are increasingly daring to do it..." - Jose Alberto Lopez, Head Coach of Racing Club de Santander.

I repeat: THIS IS THE NORWEGIAN 3rd TIER. Fantastically well-organised attacking football full of intuition, spontaneity and expression within a collective tactical framework. Imagine the best players in the world coached in this way. Brattvåg IL 👏🇳🇴

You always know beautiful football when you see it. You just have to know where to look 🇨🇴☕️ Interestingly, Colombia scored this masterpiece without having runners breach the opponent's backline.

Fabregas intuitively understands where football is heading - more movement in attack. He frames this movement as 'rotational' rather than 'associative', so that's interesting to keep track of. No surprise he praises Spalletti's Juve in relation to this topic - a man of taste.

It wasn't obvious then, but Ricardo La Volpe's 2006 Mexico was perhaps the team that most foreshadowed how football would develop over the next 18years. Huge influence on Guardiola. CMs#6#8 dropping into the backline would become known as 'salida lavolpiana' (La Volpe's Exit).

Kim Hellberg's assistant coach David Selini speaking about developing these relationships through training. The idea is to create a common language of play, intelligible between their players, but incoherent to the opposition. An encoded, deceptive communication system. (Nov'22)

In the short term, it's strange that a coach who has Wirtz and Ekitike doesn't see combination play as a primary way of breaking low blocks. In the longer term, emphasis on physicality (speed, strength, duels, etc.) fails to account for the fast-approaching biological ceilings.
