Four 4v1 Rondos combined with each other. If you can make some players play more than 1 Rondo at the same time, you naturally force them to scan their surroundings, adjust their body position, and adjust their positioning. I also use a variation where its 2 Rondos combined.

Why is body position important? The human body is best at moving in a forward direction, so the optimal position relative to where you want to go is the yellow arrow, secondary is the peach arrows, and last is the orange arrows. The red ones are highly inefficient.

One of the best weapons vs low blocks. There is not a lot of space behind the defense left, however a diagonal pass behind the weakside defenders is still a “long pass” you can make. You cannot attack depth vertically as easily, but can change ball position drastically.

The SWITCH FIELDS is one of the most underrated concepts. In front of low blocks, attacking the back of the opposing FB forces the backline to drop inside the box & allows the arrival of 1st & 2nd line players.

Good explanations by Tuchel on why it can be hard in a specific shape (4-4-2) to deal with another (3-2-4-1). But you can fill gaps through intensity. Simply, the way the opponent is positioned make it more likely that someone is open when you press from your start positions.

Counter-attacks are the #1 way to score goals. Running in transition you normally have more space, more time, more momentum, and are facing fewer defenders. Typically teams who score a lot of goals not only have a strong organized possession but very strong counters.

Have any other youth coaches noticed that their players which play football video games like FIFA or PES seem to understand the game better? It’s like an inadvertent coaching tool, my players will ask about formations and such things and tell me they played it on FIFA 😂

This is pretty crazy to do in 10 years regardless of which clubs he’s coached. In comparison, SAF reached +1000 GD with Manchester United in his 27th year at the club. Different situations but still impressive to think about.

Exercise Idea: One of the positional games I enjoy most. 6v6+4, the neutral player on the ball can dribble into the playing field. Scoring can be kept by # of consecutive passes or # of progressions through opponent. Focus is on positioning to create most passing options.

Positional play is the positioning of your players to create an unmarked player (free man) to progress to the opponent goal. This is the fundamental idea. It can be helped by an overload, with more skilled players, better dynamics, etc.

Counterpressing can be a bit crazy when the opponent leaves both wingers high and pins back the fullbacks from helping the press.

When gegenpressing becomes schadenfreude: Crystal Palace breaks out of the Liverpool press and scores from a quick counter. Great movement from Townsend, losing his marker and providing a clear passing line to Zaha.

Annoying trend in modern football: Dropping 1 DMF in between the CBs in a 4-2-3-1. Four players are high and between the lines, you only have 1 CMF in the middle with nobody close. Just forces long balls to the forwards OR the fullback playing down the line for winger to run.

Really enjoy watching this team (Guardiola's Barcelona). The choice of structure vs. the opponent is normally excellent. The individuals within the structure are all scanning well, adjusting their body position, and getting open for the pass or reducing opponent cover.

One of the best counter-attacking teams ever, and a great example of the transition in modern football to more collective and intense (fast & compact) pressing, controlled vertical combinations with speed, and counter-pressing. Jurgen Klopp's BVB:

I think one of the most useful websites in football is @footballiaweb (), a huge library of important games even from 60 years ago. I particularly like to use it when I want to revisit an era such as Van Gaal's Ajax..

Exercise we ran yesterday. Great for training diagonal progression to the opposite side of the field against an opponent. Allows for focus on body positioning, scanning, re-positioning while also working on broader concepts on a team level. Can be adjusted for less numbers.

Atletico here are roughly 20m vertically compact & their midfield line is roughly 20m horizontally compact. To maintain this compactness while still getting pressure to the ball as a collective takes a lot of speed and running. Sometimes hard to fully appreciate on TV!

“If you want to win against City, you cannot play the way they play...They are better in the way they play.” Insight into Klopp’s strategy of not allowing City’s normal rhythm, rather being excellent in the opposite and forcing the game into THAT rhythm.

4V4+2 positional game yesterday. Coaching moment as a player was slow to give 2nd side passing option, allowing 1 defender to block 2 opponents, resulting in no free pass. Then spoke about how offering an option quickly can open your teammate! Positioning creates open players.

5 vs. 5 with 4 small goals. Now the numbers are equal and the team in possession must create the overload situation. How? Use the value of the opponent goal to keep their players pinned and drop into overload. Vary position to create the open player. Expose opponent decision.
