Eddie Howe, 4 years ago, in a Bournemouth training session, working on 3V2 management in counter attacks. He insisted on how sacrificial runs can lead to a goal thanks to the space created for ball carrier.

This is so good on so many levels. Activity is whatever. But the relationship with players and the demand for why, as well as names - Kingy, Brooksy etc. it’s personal. I’m looking for more on Howe so point me in the direction of more please.

Xavi's Barça & ten Hag's Ajax probably maximized the use of these runs the most. lots of movements & counter-movements particularly in EtH's Ajax.

@Celtic67Fins72 Surely professional footballers already knew this. If that’s them just learning it then I’m speechless. I knew this when I was about 10

I watched these videos pre Howe, and dreamed of having a manager like that. Now we have him and it's even better than I ever imagined.

@RichySouthern It is absolutely terrifying that Premier League footballers don’t understand decoy runs properly.
