I was surprised and intrigued while watching Chelsea's performance against Fulham yesterday by Alonso's tactical choice. Specifically, I'm referring to his willingness to try and control the game without the ball - another detail that I pointed out during the live analysis. I've been thinking about it today and...

One of the biggest positives for me with Rosenior's appointment is to do with the different solutions he looks for from an out of possession perspective. This is especially crucial for Chelsea who've mostly defended the middle third specifically in a mix of a man-man and zonal approach, which, as I've pointed out so many times, can leave the team open. As h and Patrick explain below, and as mentioned in my Rosenior analysis thread, this can often look like a 5-2-3 defensive structure which then transitions into a man-man. I think this is a better way to go because Chelsea can now choose to be more passive, at times, while still having the option to selectively press aggressively. I'm specifically referring to the middle third again. Shifting to this, I think, can help improve Chelsea defensively. Adding more supplementary material below.

Pressing, transitions and goals in Canada! After the hiring of Jesse Marsch this week by Canada Soccer , there has been lots of talk about pressing and transitions in the football community. This is THE style of play that we have used for the last 5 years with Alliance United FC in @L1OMens and will give you some insight in how this can look. We went away from the 'possession' based 1-4-3-3 that everyone has been using as the 'best way' to develop players and win games. Many say this is the 'right way' of playing. However, we use the players' abilities and inabilities as the starting point and based on players produced in Canada, within our youth system, this is the way we think will get us the best results and help our players get to the next level. You need to understand youth development in our country to understand what is and what is not being taught to young players. This is not a negative outlook, it is just looking at the reality. Many mistake this style of play as just non-stop pressing and chaos. Yes, these two aspects are important but it is a much more deliberate and planned way of playing that is used to predict where the opposition will play the ball, where the ball can be dictated and what areas the opposition leave open for transitions when they attack. In 2019, I was introduced to Ernst Tanner former Academy Director of Red Bull Salzburg and current Philadelphia Union Sporting Director that has led the club to being one of the top clubs in MLS and arguably the best academies in North America the last few years. Both organisations are known for their pressing and fast transitions in addition to producing top players. He became a mentor to me and gave me insights and education on this style of play. He has changed the way I look at football. Every season we try to recruit players that can play this style that I will describe below and we do not waiver in the way we played. Every game since 2019 Alliance United FC have played either in a 1-4-2-2-2 or a 1-4-4-2 midfield diamond....every game. We have no secrets in how we play. We focus on defending, pressing, forcing teams into mistakes and transition football. It is important to understand that we do not care how much possession we have and we actually want the opposition to have the ball most of the time. Stats in football show that only when a team has the ball 70% or more in a match their is a correlation to winning. Anything less is not correlated to winning in a certain match. In addition, 80% of goals are scored under 5 passes or less and under 10 seconds when regaining possession. We follow the trend! So, here are some important points based on the video: a) Pressing higher up the pitch when possible. All 11 players are committed to the team intention (principles) and if anybody is not committed and does not contribute to this style of play, they do not play. There is no leeway on this. Either you are in 100% in or you are not. All it takes is one player to not commit and the plan will not work. If we do not win the ball on the high press, everyone is to drop behind the ball as fast as possible to restart the press closer to our goal. b) Based on the opponent's scouting we press certain players and decide if will press closer to the sideline and 'pin' the player to the sideline or we dictate the passes and dribbles centrally and 'surround' the player to win the ball in central positions. We also decide if we will sometimes drop lower for the opposition to advance so we can play behind them when winning the ball. This is done if we scout that the opposition centre-backs are slower than our two strikers. This means we will 'outrun' them in the space they leave behind. c) When winning the ball we want to exploit space behind their backline as the priority which means that a player(s) need to be passing options behind the backline and preferably centrally which is closer to the goal, players winning the ball has to look to play the ball to the player furthest up the pitch. Possession is not a priority but scoring goals as fast as possible is. d) When winning the ball we stay as central as possible with passes and dribbling. We use the width of the penalty area (44 yards) as the preferable dimension when transitioning. We want to stay within this width. The wider the team plays the ball, the more time the opposition has to block the middle. PLAY AS VERTICALLY AS POSSIBLE! The emphasis is to get the ball to the two strikers and play 1v1 against the CBs. e) We know that most youth players grow up playing against a 1-4-3-3 which means there is one central striker meaning the centre-backs one back press and one can cover. Against 2 strikers this is not possible and many centre-backs do not have the ability to play 1v1 with space behind them. They are not taught the cues to step and press or drop to protect space behind them. They are never taught at youth level. We exploit this deficiency. e) All 11 players must get up the pitch to close the spaces if we lose the ball from our attacking transition so the opposition cannot transition against us and we can counter-press. f) A goal is the best outcome based on the objective of attacking but at the minimum we want to get a shot on goal from a transition. This is a quick overview of a different way of playing football that Canada will see with the Men's National Team.

David Raya on his role during the build up of play for Arsenal: “I am the last line of defence and the first line of attack, so I try to apply what the boss wants me to do with the ball and without the ball. “Trying to find those advantages to carry the ball to the other goal, so basically what we're trying to do is from the back to trying to score and that's the way we play, and I feel very, very confident to play this way, and I really, really enjoy it. “I feel like I've been enjoying this football since I came here, and taking that responsibility to help the team to win games.”

ENZO MARESCA’S PRE-CONFERENCE TODAY AHEAD OF THE TRIP TO LINCOLN. Enzo Maresca on Cole Palmer🔵 Cole is probably is the only one that we need to assess a little bit. The rest are okay, just to recover from the last week. He did already a huge effort to try to play the game. He wants to be there to help his teammates in that kind of game. It's more day by day, week by week, game by game, to see how he is. Enzo Maresca on the game against Manchester United🔵 The game is dictated from the red card. When it was 10v10, we had almost 70% possession. I hope we don't have any more games with 10 players after 3-4 minutes. Enzo Maresca🔵 Anyone can say what they decide to say, it's not a problem. I think we improved a lot last season. We closed the gap. This season, the main target, is to continue to improve the players and team, and close the gap. Enzo Maresca on Benoit Badiashile and Romeo Lavia🔵 They are not back for this game, unfortunately. They both took part of the session yesterday. Hopefully they can be available soon. Enzo Maresca🔵 In this moment, Dario and Romeo is injured, so we cannot give Moises Caicedo a rest. I don't think it's random the amount of injuries we have alluding to the Club World Cup. Enzo Maresca🔵 You can sleep very easy in these kind of games. Football is full of these games. I am very worried about that. For sure, we will have some players from the academy, like we have always done.

How I Build My Teams I always liked the idea of ‘possession football’: - Control the game. - A tool to develop players. - The opponent can’t score without the ball. But I built it the wrong way: “Keep the ball. Find a gap to attack.” This turned into “side-to-side” passing. It was boring and ineffective. \ The idea. So, I flipped the idea: Instead of controlling to attack, we attack to control. Play as vertical as possible (while maintaining control). If not possible, pass back. Avoid sideways passes. For better connections and counter-press, we use a vertical, narrow structure: These simple decisions lead to short, vertical, and diagonal passes. This is what I call 'vertical possession' football. \ Make it work. The idea is simple. The execution is not. Over the years, I’ve worked to close the gap between vision and reality. (watch example below) My goal is to get closer to my vision every day. But as Vince Lombardi said: “Perfection is unattainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.” Here’s my plan to 'catch excellence': 1. Build it my way. Ignore opinions. Opinions lead to conformity. We reduce our philosophy to its essence—and build from there. Everything else is a distraction. 2. Stick to it. We limit ourselves to core principles, and stick to them. When there’s a problem, we don’t change the idea—we improve its execution. 3. Eliminate waste. Building a style of play is like carving a statue. You start with a block of marble and chip away everything unnecessary. All that’s left is the sculpture. We do the same. We cut every unnecessary touch and step: - Fewer touches mean we need less time and space. We have more space to be creative. - The simpler it gets, the more recognizable the style. 4. Obsess over the players. We don’t adapt to opponents. We focus on our players. That's what matters in the long run. When our ideas work, we can compete against anyone. 5. Develop technical and creative players as a by-product. - Possession: Many touches to refine technique. - Vertical: No “easy” sideways passes. Learn to play in tight spaces. - Control: Avoid hectic football. Control the ball to make deliberate decisions. 6. One Training Structure. We compress our philosophy into one structure. Then, we repeat it every session. We make our style of play a habit. And we develop the tools to execute it. 7. Master a Few Exercises. We repeat a small set of core games over and over. We focus on improving execution, not on new drills. The better we execute, the faster we get to our vision. 8. Bottleneck Coaching. We can’t predict what happens, so we don’t over-plan. Instead, we prepare for what might happen. This liberates our coaching: Rather than sticking to pre-planned coaching points, we solve the most critical issue—the bottleneck. 9. Competition Drives Development. Games are the core of our training. Players compete to win. They force each other to get better and better, session after session. 10. Positive Team Culture. I used to react with anger when things didn’t go right. And yes, it can work in the short term. But to build something great, players must stay on the path for a long time. This is more likely when they enjoy the process. Positive reinforcement is harder to do, but more sustainable. \ What's next? That's the plan. Now, it’s all about execution. I'll keep you updated.

This coach was teaching his students how to play dodgeball. He started with teaching them how to dodge the ball. He gave them an advantage by using a bigger ball than they would be normally using. Was he crossing the line for pelting them? As I mentioned before I was pretty good at the game, I used to throw the ball insanely hard, most of the time the other kid’s didn’t have time to react. The only rule we had in school was no head shots. I remember being sat out of gym for dodgeball because I saw an opening and I took the shot. I was aiming for her feet and not anything else. However she decided she would try to slide because she thought I was going to throw it high. She slid right into the path of the ball and got belted in the head, knocking off her glasses and breaking them. Of course she cried, I felt bad for it as I wasn’t trying to hit her in the face nonetheless throw the ball at her hard. But it didn’t matter, i still was punished for it even though i tried to explain how it was an accident. I wasn’t punished beyond that but being sat out of the game was punishment enough for me since I liked the game so much. Being a parent now I get it, I wouldn’t want that to happen but I would understand it as part of the game. Would you be upset if another kid hit your child in the face with the ball or is it really just part of the game? I think it’s time we bring this game back to schools.

Introducing the “Get” action in basketball to lacrosse! The “Get” is a 2man action where a player passes the ball to another player and sprints to go “Get” it back on a handoff. This action has similar concepts and reads to pick and roll, but the picker is actually the ball handler! In lacrosse, we have been experimenting with Gets because it creates so many interesting situations and reads for the players. The way we teach it in small sided games is to have one offensive player declare “I’m shut” and the defense has to face-guard him. From there we pick for the shut off player trying to spring them free for the Get. The ball handler has to engage and control their defender, anticipating the shut player trying to get open. The shut player can backdoor if being overplayed towards the get (rejecting the get), receive a flip, or continue curling around the ball getting open for a late pass. The ball handler can feed the reject, flip the ball, or fake the flip to attack the goal or make a late pass to the shut payer curling to the goal. I’ve seen examples of this run in men’s and women’s DI lacrosse at Ohio State and Northwestern, respectively and I’ve run this myself when I was coaching HS girls lacrosse. You will also see on this reel a sick application for Gets vs. a common big-little invert coverage where the short stick doesn’t go behind with his man and plays “Safety” in front of the net. Gets are fun for the players, are incredible for teaching your players 2man game on and off ball, dealing with double teams, and creativity with passing, and can be used to score goals. I hope you enjoy it! Can you think of other applications for Gets?

🚨 Francisco conceicao on Ronaldo not passing the ball to him on Portugal 2-1 win over chile: 🗣️ “I felt I was in a much better position to take the shot and score but Ronaldo didn’t pass the ball Sometimes in football moments like that are what decided games We had opportunities in transition where the right decision could have changed everything, but it didn’t happen in that moment. We ended up going 1 man down and having to fight to take something out of the game but at the World Cup we need to work as a team to achieve our goal At this level, small details matter a lot. One pass, one decision, one second can completely change the direction of a match. We have the quality in this team, but we need more understanding in those situations, especially in the final third. If we want to go far in the World Cup, we cannot rely on individual moments we must move as one unit and make the best choice for the team every time.” {talkSPORT }

I asked Coach Udoka: With the team struggling to make shots and Durant finishing 4th in shot attempts in Game 2, will we say Durant starts in the midrange more often and less often as the initiator of the offense, making it harder to double-team him? “Yeah I think it's a balance for sure the main things is the turnovers and us not being agressive out of it or converting out if it.”

“He (Oscar) missed out in the end, but only his 3rd season in Formula 1 and and his rate of development in between each season as well has been so notable. How have you looked on Oscar Piastri's first three years with McLaren, this fight, and do you expect him to bounce back quite strong next year?” Andrea Stella: “Oscar will be definitely stronger next year. Oscar will win championships at McLaren in the future. He has all it takes. I've always said that the rate of development tells me why he won championship at the first year in the junior categories. His capacity to adapt, his capacity to analyze what is needed, got it, I'll go out and do it and he does it. He’s no short than exceptional. And I think this year Oscar for two third of the season has been the most consistent. We then went to tracks that challenged Oscar from a technical point of view. The low grip circuits required a driving style that came so natural for Lando and so much to think for Oscar like ‘ah, that's what the car needs, it doesn't come natural to me. I have to think how I do it in an automatic way.’ And with the level of drivers we have at the moment, as soon as you have to think too much in the way you drive, you lose several positions. But I think really the only event in which Oscar had some hesitations this year is just Baku. I think all the rest in my view, it has some technical explanations. It has to do with the level overall of drivers that we have there for the impact of not being perfect, not being to the last 1%. And also Oscar showed maturity once again in the way he withstood the difficulties we had as a team. Which once again are quite impressive for somebody who is at the third season in Formula 1 and gives me the chance to thank Oscar and Lando for how they stayed supportive of the team. And like I say, if we made it, I think we made it not in the events in which we gained the points but in the way we dealt with the events in which we lost the points. And ultimately we did it. We were discussing this morning with the team by less than alpha percent, two points over more than 400. This shows that how marginal this game, how competitive this game is, which is obviously also a message to - at least for us, we said it's a message for us to do better because we would like to be slightly more comfortable in the future.”

“He (Oscar) missed out in the end, but only his 3rd season in Formula 1 and and his rate of development in between each season as well has been so notable. How have you looked on Oscar Piastri's first three years with McLaren, this fight, and do you expect him to bounce back quite strong next year?” Andrea Stella: “Oscar will be definitely stronger next year. Oscar will win championships at McLaren in the future. He has all it takes. I've always said that the rate of development tells me why he won championship at the first year in the junior categories.

There are so many options in the attack with the 2-6-2. It is like playing with Overload without using the Overload tactic while simultaneously having a better defensive shape. So many times the opponent was forced to commit to one of my attackers which left the other completely free. Also pay attention to Anderson’s movement. He is dropping back with the 2 CBs to form a back 3 even when in possession in the ball. The only time he really joins the midfield is if I am in the final third trying to break down the opponent. I’ve tested this with Pedri in Anderson’s position to see if I am able to consistently form a 3 man midfield when in possession to cause an extreme overload but it looks like it is something coded into the game to create more stability when you lose the ball. hmm…

The reason Ruben Amorin needed “legs or ground eater” was because he never believed in players playing close to one another and keeping the ball for a long time. We often launched the ball to our strikers to beat press, he did the same at Sporting CP with Gyokeres and that caused our team needing to run so much because when we lose the second ball, we were in trouble.. It’s more about athleticism to him than techniques.. He never wanted players that are comfortable on the ball instead he likes players that can pick long passes so they can move the ball as quickly forward as possible and that’s why he never rated Mainoo.. Now Carrick has a different approach to football which is for players to play close to one another, take regulated and calculated risk instead of throwing the ball in the air at every chance which limits his need for “ground eaters” and increases his needs for actual ballers, guys that are comfortable on the ball and know how to pass it at the same time.

This World Cup has shown how Argentinian players are just built different, and it was interesting because, in the press conferences, both managers addressed this. First, Tuchel talks about the Argentinian value of the ball and how they protect the ball at all costs, how they manage those small spaces, and how they learn this from a young age. He references culture, and this is exactly it. A child playing in a certain environment leads to that. Not every Argentinian child is on the national team, but it raises the ceiling. It creates a certain type of style and a certain type of player. Then Scaloni also references his culture. He sees them play without fear of losing. It comes from playing in an environment where you are constantly faced with the potential of losing and being able to play with that pressure, right? They don’t fight against it. They play with it. They use it. And I think this is where youth football coaches should really take note. This does not mean we should copy and paste Argentinian culture into every training environment, because culture cannot just be copied. But the values within that culture can be inculcated in every training environment. The value of the ball. The courage to receive it in small spaces. The ability to protect it under pressure. The confidence to keep playing after a mistake. The willingness to play with the possibility of losing rather than constantly trying to avoid it. Those values can become part of the environment we create every day. They can be present in the games we design, in what we praise, in what we allow players to struggle with, and in how we respond when they lose the ball. If every mistake leads to the coach stopping the session, giving the answer, or taking the pressure away, then players never learn to play with that pressure. They learn to wait for the coach. It was cool to see how two managers, at such a big stage, reference culture and the environments that kids play in when they’re young. Because the players we see on the biggest stage were not only created by tactics or coaching information. They were created by environments that taught them what to value, how to relate to the ball, and how to play when there was something to lose.

I remember talking with the USA Hockey leadership group a few years back when I started as a youth hockey director and I was like “I don’t know if I can do this…” It was stressful as hell and it was hard to enact the kind of things I wanted to do because the youth hockey culture was so backwards on the priorities of development. They told me that I’d be shocked how many good, high level hockey people get into it for a year to give back and then are like - nah I’m good this is not the experience I was looking for. We need to find a way to entice more good hockey people to want to get involved in the youth side of the game. And I think the only way to do it is more community based hockey. Less pressure, more development. More opportunity for the players who get out of the high level of the game to enjoy coming to the rink and not feel like it’s a full time job again. We talked about the importance of more high level hockey people getting involved at the grassroots level on our latest podcast with Nick Robone. Check it out. 🎙️

Jon Rahm on the LIV format: “Yeah, obviously there’s been a bit of a change. There was a lot more about LIV Golf that was attractive to me, right. Yeah, maybe the format was a set back in the past, but at the same time there’s a lot of positives to it as well. And one of the things that a lot of players kept mentioning is you don’t have a wave weather difference, where you can simply get unlucky and you’re out of contention for that tournament. It’s part of the game, I get it, but it’s something you don’t have to deal with anymore. So that part is a very nice aspect. The team is what really made it for me. Being able to be part of a team, represent a team, play for my teammates, with my teammates and against my teammates, is something that to me that has always been very, very special. When you get a victory to share, it’s always better to have a team to share it with. So it’s what was the most attractive part and when we started discussions it gets to a point where even though I’m ambitious, I’m not greedy. So there’s a give and take and the format is something that I can easily overlook, and I’m pretty sure I can learn to enjoy it, I’ll just have to get used to it, but I’m pretty sure I’ll learn to enjoy it. To be honest, the more I started thinking about it, the more I started thinking about my college days that were 3 day tournaments, 54 holes, and everybody warmed up together for the most part. So it shouldn’t be an environment I’m unfamiliar with.” This is from the LIV podcast called “Fairway to Heaven”. Full link:

Cameron Young is playing with a golf ball that would allegedly be compliant with the new roll back rules that will come into effect in a few years time. He was asked about it ahead of the PGA Championship and he says every player in the game is sacrificing distance for control, and he put it in play at the Wyndham last year which he won. “I think I put it in play the same reason that everybody else plays the ball that they play. I hit it during a ball test, one of the Titleist facilities probably close to two years ago and didn't know anything about it and just kind of say, hey, what's that one? Because I liked the flight. “Then as things progressed, I was able to test it last year at Wyndham, able to put that in play, and it's been there since. “Obviously there is no conforming list. I wasn't aware that it would have -- I suppose I read something that said it passed that test, but I wasn't aware of that until very recently. “So at no point was that a consideration. It was just really me trying to optimize my golf, and it's the ball that seems to work the best for me.” He then was asked whether he lost distance with it compared to other balls he’s tested: “Not particularly. I don't think any of us are out really here playing the ball that goes the farthest. I think you'd struggle to find a single person that's doing that. We're all sacrificing a certain amount of things that we feel are worth it, control with irons, control with wedges. For me, that's the biggest thing is being able to control spin, and this is the ball that does the best for me.” Finally he can as asked whether this ball goes further than the one he was using: “No, I hit very similar, yeah. It's much more -- the driver is kind of the easiest thing to deal with, I feel like. For me to get it where it needed to be, I had to just add a little bit of spin, and it kind of comes out at a perfectly playable range. “For me, the biggest thing, like I said, is the irons. This ball is easier to control with the irons. It doesn't spin as much, and it just allows me to be better with my distance control just because it's more consistent.” The golf ball rollback has been a hugely controversial subject but Cameron Young is currently using one that’s compliant and he is playing the best golf of his career. This gives the best idea yet on what impact, or lack of it, the new rules will actually have on the sport. PGA Championship

Liam Coen says analytics should inform decisions, never make them “We leverage analytics. Absolutely. We leverage it for the data and the information to make a decision, not to make the decision. That’s not how it goes. Ever.” “You have the data, AI, analytics, it is unreal. What are the true decisions that lie in the moment, in the now? What are the facts that you need to know? That’s great to leverage.” “We have game management. We have an analytics department to gather that information. But we are not making decisions solely based on those numbers. Ultimately, it has to come from the gut and from yourself.” “Is this the best decision for the Jacksonville Jaguars right now? Because that’s all you can live in. You’re living in every single play.” “I’m going to lean aggressive offensively, especially in year one when you’re trying to instill confidence. You’re trying to instill a mindset of, ‘Yeah, we are good.’ I believe we can go get fourth-and-two. We can.” “We talk about momentum a lot as a team. You can feel that. You can feel momentum. You know when you got it and you know when you don’t. I feed off that as a coach and I feed off the player’s energy on the grass and when they have confidence and momentum I want to roll with it, I want to keep it.” “When you have it you wanna stomp on it, you want to make them feel it.. That’s where the aggression comes in, you want to hold onto that and put your foot on the pedal. And as you grow as a coach there are times where you might be like, ‘Alright, may need to kick here. It’s going to be one of those kind of games.’” “So you have to be prepared, know your gut, go with your gut, feel this, all that’s going on around you, and make the best educated decision.”
