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.

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.

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).

"McKennie understands everything in the turbulence of the match, those are real situations, not when you bring out numbers, IP, OOP, those are numbers which influence the value of the match, in that moment nothing happens..the chaos..uncertainty..those are the true situations."😎

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.
