This is an example of Germany in settled possession and what's wrong with it. They create wide triangles on both sides which is good as it makes ball circulation and counter pressing easier. However, to make this effective and get the most out the triangles you need movement and...

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.

I watched this video posted by a tourist in Zimbabwe who has been promoting Zimbabwean tourism on his journey across the country. My first instinct was to ask, what is this? There are times when we do not just have to criticise, but must look for solutions. I think this is not a tourism problem, it is a policing problem that affects tourism, and it is a problem that does not just affect tourists but Zimbabweans as well who are driving across the country. The solution, in my view, is straightforward. When tourists enter our country, at the point of the border, they should be required to purchase all the necessary road safety paraphernalia demanded by the Zimbabwean police. First of all, I do not understand why one needs four triangles. Triangles are meant for when your car breaks down, you place one at the back and one at the front, that is two triangles. This tourist had three, yet he was told he needed four. I do not know why he needed four. But even if, for argument’s sake, he needed a hundred, then tell him at the border that he needs a hundred, and that there is a shop there selling them, even if it is a government-run shop. Make it a requirement that no motorist drives out of the border clearing area without the required triangles. They must buy them there and then. When they get to the exit gate, at that final clearing bay, they show the triangles and proceed, so that they do not encounter problems on the roads. If this is not done, you create situations like this one, where the Ministry of Tourism is dragged into an issue that has nothing to do with it, yet its work ends up being affected because of the ineffectiveness and lack of coordination among different government agencies. The requirement for triangles falls under the Ministry of Home Affairs, which superintends the police, so it must ensure that before any vehicle is cleared to leave the border, it complies. In most countries, you do not need four triangles. I have seen this absurdity in Zimbabwe only, and I experienced it. I own a car which has inbuilt reflectors, factory-fitted safety reflectors that perform the same function. Yet when you get to a Zimbabwean roadblock, they still want to see a separate portable reflector, even though the inbuilt system does the same job. This is a breakdown of common sense, and it does not just affect tourists, it affects Zimbabweans too. So instead of simply criticising, I chose to offer a solution. The responsible government agency and ministry must make it a requirement that any motorist entering the country has the stipulated triangles before they are cleared to leave the border. And if they do not have the four triangles, as required, as ridiculous as it sounds, there must be a facility at the border where they can purchase them and then proceed with their journey without harassment.
