One key issue in United’s pressing under Carrick is poor timing & angles from the front line. Players have dual roles with the aim of locking play to one side, but when that fails and the opposition find the +1, it creates a domino effect and opens space.

🚨 Atleast be consistent, under Amorim, you agreed the players were not good enough but under Carrick, the players are now good enough and he’s the bad one. ‼️What is pattern of play without results? What has De Zerbi, Bielsa and others achieved with their pattern of play?

The Kickback/Scissor is still one of the most misunderstood movement strategies in hitting. More accepted today than when I started, but how many had it coached out? It creates space, keeps your front side on the ball, holds direction, and lets you remove slack late to crack the

2nd and 1 usually makes defenses think shot. Indiana takes advantage of that with Duo. The Bear front takes away gaps inside, but the shift creates space to the boundary. The boundary 3-tech gets doubled, the Mike is out to the field, and the safety is off the ball. When the safety helps deep, the bubble opens up. Big gain.

“The old NBA was space, everyone stand and 1 guy play P&R. Now there’s a lot more cutting. Cutting opens up space. It creates vacuums, and creates driving lanes.” - Coach Atkinson

Awtar Singh says what a lot of non-Malays are thinking.... we have this endless problem because the law is slanted towards one side and the same side dominates the political system. So the outcome is the minorities are always asked to back down and accept the solution. Except the solution is designed to please one side and the other side is told to STFU and accept. When it comes to religious issue, you know the results even before the issue starts. Yet Mr Madani talks about "justice" and "fairness" and even wrote a book about it. I have said a million times- hypocrisy is the number one currency in Malaysian politics.

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.

1/x When a pilot (dis)embarks, the ship has to "make a lee", meaning that she will turn and have one side of the ship sheltered from wind and swell. (leeward side). This will make it somewhat safer for the pilot.

Jamila: President William Ruto has had meetings with both leaders of RSF at different times but in this country. When you have one side here, and they come out clearly and say that they want to form a parallel government, of course, that is something that would raise a lot of eyebrows not just in Kenya and the region but across the world. With what’s happening in Sudan it’s not making any sense why would you let one side come here with the aim of forming a parallel government? #CitizenNewsGang

The Dookey Dash key was always meant to have a dual role - first as part of BAYC lore and our story going forward, but also as a HV that participates in gaming activations. With HV-MTL (and the key transformed into the legendary HV) under Faraway’s stewardship, we’re going to be minting a new 1 of 1 version of the key which will stay part of the BAYC ecosystem and airdrop it to the holder of the legendary HV. Cause the key’s story isn’t finished yet 🫡

Over 14 years of video analysis experience has taught us one thing at KeepItOnTheDeck 👀 Watch for the trends! This week at the Manchester United training ground, one trend stood out clearly... Michael Carrick has been heavily involved and focused on midfield relationships. And we would bet you see these patterns appear in the game against Fulham tomorrow. Before the comments rush in saying “we are giving away tactics”, that idea is ridiculous and comes from a non educated coaching view. Every Premier League club already knows these patterns. The issue is not seeing them. The issue is stopping them. The up back through and positional play around it is one of the hardest things to defend in football. Carrick gave a brilliant example this week of how to install clear pictures into players... 1️⃣ Working completely unopposed to allow players to practise and build relationships 2️⃣ Introducing semi opposed patterns to challenge angles of support and technique 3️⃣ Seeing the patterns appear in games and stepping in to praise and reinforce them That is top quality coaching. All the pundits and “experts” calling for a bigger name saying Carrick is not " big enough name" are missing the point. Why not judge the man on the job he is doing? Judge MERRIT!!! Why can't football people judge merit anymore? In the early weeks, the impact cannot be denied. He has the players onside and is designing training sessions that are already having a clear and direct impact on the identity of the team. That is managing & coaching. Is it not ⚽🔥

The #Patriots hit on the areas we were expecting. The one that I didn't have on the front of my mind was FB. And it's probably one of my favorite signings. The potential for Henderson to break one and Stevenson to punch in from the goal line have now increased. YT: sp0rtsmatt3rs
