Why does Roberto De Zerbi keep coming back to positional games like this? Because the real purpose isn’t the drill itself. It’s to repeatedly expose players to the same pictures, decisions and movements De Zerbi wants them to recognise on matchday. Here we have a 4v4+3 positional game played... across two tight zones. Each area is 14x9 yards, creating a 2v2+1 situation in each zone, with an additional neutral player free to move between them. But watch the behaviours rather than the numbers. Players are constantly being asked to: • Create disciplined angles to play through central areas • Recognise when to slow the game down and when to accelerate • React immediately when possession changes • Counter press aggressively after losing the ball • Find solutions in tight spaces under pressure That last point is important. De Zerbi doesn’t just want his players to know where to stand. He wants them to recognise the moment when the picture changes, and react before the opposition does. That’s why seemingly simple positional games can transfer so effectively to the match. The exercise is simple. The behaviors being trained are not.show more

⚽️ CHELSEA FC POSITIONAL 4v4v4 Under Xabi Alonso at the weekend. A positional possession practice from Chelsea Football Club, designed to develop one of the most important principles in possession: creating effective angles of support around the ball. 🔵 PRACTICE DETAIL When a team has possession, players adopt a designated positional structure within each zone. Players are positioned on either side of the area, along the end line and with one central player operating inside each zone. This structure challenges players to recognize how their positioning can create passing lines, support the player on the ball and provide opportunities to play through, around or beyond pressure. Out of possession players are free to press anywhere within the practice area. The focus then shifts towards compactness, communication and coordinated collective pressure. 🎯 SCORING Teams score one point by completing the required number of consecutive passes. 🧠 COACHING POINTS 🔹 Create clear angles of support around the ball 🔹 Adjust positioning as the ball moves 🔹 Scan before receiving 🔹 Receive with an open body shape where possible 🔹 Move the ball quickly to exploit available space 🔹 Press collectively and remain compact out of possession 🔹 React immediately when possession changes 💡 COACHING FOCUS The positioning of the players away from the ball has a major influence on the options available to the player in possession. The central player becomes particularly important in helping the team connect different areas, play through pressure and create additional angles around the ball. Like and save this post for more.

Morocco 5v5 + 3 Possession & Counter Pressing Game 🇲🇦 Dimensions: 18(W) x 28(L) Yards In possession, the team must build into a clear shape: 3 central players 2 wide players on the flanks The aim is to keep the ball and complete a set number of passes while maintaining that structure to score points. There are also neutral goalkeepers on each end line and one neutral player inside the pitch to support the team in possession. When the ball is lost, the defending team can press anywhere. This encourages players to react immediately, win the ball back quickly, and counter press with intensity. Coaching focus: Structure in possession. Quick reaction after losing the ball.

Day one of Roberto De Zerbi at Tottenham Hotspur is in the books, and a couple of small moments already say a lot about how meticulous he is. No matter how minor or major the situation, he coaches what the game presents. The first example came when he approached Dominic Solanke. During a small sided game, Solanke was using constant movement, checking runs and changing direction to create space. When play paused, De Zerbi stepped in to explain that in tight areas, locking/shielding the defender directly can actually create more space surrounding him to receive, without needing movement. It sounds simple, but if it needs coaching, he addresses it immediately and with intent. The moments of when to move vs when to lock on! The second moment highlighted his well known focus on tempo. He urged calm from defenders when they had an overload, encouraging them to slow things down just enough to ensure accurate distribution. That patience also allows the structure ahead of the ball to take shape and for movement to develop, leading to more controlled and progressive possession. When the moment is right tempo speeds up to progress the play! The detail stands out. If it's detail and energy Tottenham wanted, Roberto De Zerbi will 100% bring that.

“You have to stay inside. There’s no way out inside. Don’t go outside. Someone inside, otherwise it’s impossible to play.” — Luis Enrique Simple message with relevance to the game. ⚽️ Positional practices teach real match lessons. In this 4v4 plus 2 with professional players at PSG, the message is clear. Without a central option in possession, the opposition press can be less compact and play becomes predictable in wide areas. Keep an option inside and their press tightens. When it tightens, passing lanes open. 🔓 That's learning through practice. 🎥 Instant access to 1000+ videos ⤵️ Downloadable content 💡 Tactical camera games 📋 Coach education videos Get them here 👇

🔴 Take 30 seconds to read and understand this Liverpool positional practice under Andoni Iraola. We’ve seen this practice shared on other pages who try to replicate what we do, but the explanations have been wrong. First of all, this is a 6v5 positional practice, not 6v6 or 5v5. In the first zone, the practice is played as a 5v4 and within an area 16(L) x 28(W) Yards. The players are deliberately positioned to replicate: ▪️ Two centre backs on the end line (They can step in) ▪️ Two inverted wide players ▪️ One central pivot ▪️ Two mini goals representing players between the lines AKA number 10 positions. The top zone is then played as a 1v1. The practice is designed to recreate central overloads when Liverpool have controlled possession in the opposition half, that's why it is setup in that part of the pitch, again deliberately so. The 1v1 represents a potential moment when an opposition centre back steps forward to track a player receiving between the lines, and spaces appear to run into. This creates an important decision for the team in possession. After completing a set number of passes, can they: ⚽ Play into a mini goal (10 positions between lines), for one point? Or… ⚽ Release the attacker with a well timed forward pass beyond for two points if a goal is scored? The attacker must remain onside, angle their run beyond the defender and finish into either target goal. If the pressing team regains possession, their objective is to attack quickly and score in transition into the mini target goals just beyond the halfway line. The purpose of the practice is to develop pictures, connections and decisions when dominating possession high up the pitch. Can we play through the opposition when the space is available, or play beyond them when they step forward? From there, the coaching principles begin: ✅ Play forward when it’s on ✅ Recognize when to play through or beyond ✅ Maintain positional connections ✅ React immediately in transition And so on! That’s session planning, and a real insight into the detail behind the practice.

Football is a game of time and space. And De Zerbi is a master of Timing. “Brighton is a master of passing the ball to the free man, but also knowing when to pass the ball. [..] They know how to move at the right time. [..] They have the right tempo to pass to the man free.” (Guardiola) How does De Zerbi use the Timing aspect? ⬇️

I think I’ve finally figured out how to coach “tempo” to young players. And I don’t mean telling them to “play quicker” or “slow the game down,” because I’ve said those things for years and I’m increasingly convinced they don’t teach players very much. I’ve worked with some of these players for three years now, and tempo has probably been one of the hardest things to help them understand, when do we go forward, when do we keep the ball, when do we deliberately bait the opposition with it, and most importantly, when they finally bite, can we recognize where the advantage has appeared and change the speed of the game? Watch the first clip. CB to goalkeeper, goalkeeper to CB, into the 6, back out again, back through the goalkeeper, forward, back, across. For a long time with young players, this kind of possession can feel almost uncomfortable, because they feel like somebody has to 'make the game happen'. Somebody needs to force the forward pass, somebody needs to dribble, somebody needs to create something. What I’ve been trying to help them understand is that sometimes the ball 'makes the game for you.' Move the ball and the opposition moves, move it again and they adjust, keep probing and eventually somebody steps a little too far, somebody gets attracted toward the ball, a relationship changes somewhere else on the field, and now there is an advantage to exploit. That’s what happens here. We don’t progress because somebody finally gets impatient and forces the game forward, we progress because the circulation eventually creates a positional advantage behind them for our outside back, and once that advantage appears, the tempo changes. A few minutes later, almost the exact same idea appears again. We probe, we circulate, we make them move, our left back eventually gains the positional advantage, and this time we recognize it and immediately change the speed of the attack, he goes down the wide channel, we play across the face of goal, goal. For me, that is tempo. It isn’t playing fast. It isn’t playing slow. It’s recognizing that there are two very different moments in possession, moments where the ball needs to probe and manipulate the opposition, and moments where the opposition has finally given you something and you need to exploit it before it disappears. I think the breakthrough for me has been realizing that I can’t really teach this by constantly shouting “faster” and “be patient.” I have to repeatedly put the players into experiences where they feel both moments, the probing and the exploitation, over and over, until they begin to recognize for themselves when the game has changed. Young players often think they need to make the game. I’m trying to teach them to move the ball, watch what the opposition gives them, and let the ball make the game.

Incredible insight from Luis Enrique when asked about Cesc Fabregas and his view that football is moving increasingly mainly towards movement patterns, manipulation of space and coordinated actions, rather than traditional positional play, which he believes is becoming a thing of the past. The modern game is less about where a player is positioned and more about when, why and how they move to an area of the pitch. The best teams are now defined by their ability to recognise the opponent’s structure, identify the spaces that can be attacked and then coordinate the timing of movement to exploit them. It is not movement for the sake of movement. It is movement with purpose, based on recognition, timing and collective understanding. Luis Enrique reinforces a fascinating principle he spoke about last season. The objective of modern football is to become unpredictable for the opponent while remaining completely predictable to your own teammates. That is the real challenge at the highest level. Creating freedom without losing organisation. Producing variation without creating chaos. Giving players the intelligence to adapt their positioning and movement while maintaining a shared understanding of what the team is trying to achieve. The future of elite football may not belong to the teams with the most rigid positional structure, but to the teams who can read the game fastest, manipulate space most intelligently and coordinate movement with the greatest precision.

🚨 Mikel Arteta on Declan Rice and Bruno Guimarães’ midfield pivot at Arsenal: 🗣️ “The idea is to give the team more control without losing the aggression we need in midfield. Declan gives us incredible athleticism, power and the ability to cover large spaces. He can protect the back line, win duels and also drive the team forward. “Bruno gives us something different. He has the personality to receive the ball under pressure, play through difficult situations and control the rhythm of the game. His intelligence allows him to know when to accelerate and when to slow things down. “When you put those qualities together, you have a midfield that can dominate in different ways. They can win the ball, control possession, protect the defence and give our attacking players the freedom to stay higher. “The most important thing is their understanding. They cannot simply play next to each other; they have to move together, cover for each other and recognise the moments when one of them needs to step forward. “If we get that balance right, Rice and Bruno can give Arsenal one of the strongest midfield pivots in the Premier League.”

Roberto De Zerbi is one of the best coaches on the planet 🧠⚽ He is crystal clear about what he wants, then turns those ideas into simple, repeatable solutions for his players. At the weekend, De Zerbi was coaching his double pivot during build up against a press led by a single centre forward. The key detail, the pivots must remain staggered. As the ball travels across to the opposite centre back, the opposition number 10 jumps to press. In doing so, the number 10 blocks the passing lane into one pivot as he moved. But the staggered positioning in the pivot positions creates the solution, the ball side pivot stays behind the first line of pressure. The opposite pivot drops at an angle to receive. A passing lane opens around the pressing player who jumps to press. The team escapes pressure and progresses through the centre. Giving players clear pictures, reference points and solutions they can recognize under pressure. You see the detail coached in training. Then you see it appear in the game. That is how effective coaching improves or aids decision making, problem solving and confidence in possession. Save this for and follow us for more. More available on our website.

There has been a misconception online that we have switched to a 4-2-3-1 in the last two games. That’s not true. It’s the same 4-3-3 and 4-5-1 we have played all season. Woltemade is playing LCM. My thinking as to why it seems we aren’t is because of the freedom Eddie offers our players within the structure. Woltemade is allowed to move and receive between the lines, just like Willock (when he plays LCM) is allowed to hold width and use his pace in wide areas.

Arteta on the players battling a physical strain: “Yes, but when I see them track back, when we lose the ball and the habits that they have, it's just amazing. That's why I know what they are doing, these players. There is a reason why we are the only English team in the competition, because this league and this schedule takes the hell out of you and it's very difficult to do what we've done. “We are not perfect, we need to improve things, that's for sure, we recognise that, but let's value what these players have done because they deserve it.”
