The art of coaching by Steve Kerr👇 🗣️”The urge is, you’re the coach and you want to control it. But, coaching isn’t controlling it, it’s guiding it… It’s not going to happen by you saying ‘you have to do this or you have to do that.’ I try and communicate a vision and gently…

Yes the concept before this is “preparing the space” where you position to move your marker away from the space you want to receive in - this can be standing still, walking away or making quick opposite movements - “go short to come long” - “go long to come short” 🎯🔥⚽️

Bielsa explains an often overlooked fundamental concept - a receiver should make a clear signal to the passer when he wants the ball - he then gets a head start on his marker - if he waits for the passer to initiate the pass the defender sees the signal & starts at the same time

🗣️Create separation in order to make yourself an option, not because you are one. Working on Marcelo #Bielsa's Attacking Philosophy, & found that the introduction to this 2 minute clip of an 🇦🇷 training drill of his really does surmise the core build-up principles effectively🔍

How do team's passing intentions change dependant on game state? Added some more context, different plots for different managers, and ironed out a bug in the code from when I previously posted this. Calculated using @StatsBomb xPass data. (1/2)

“The most popular and evidence-based explanation for why athletes fail under pressure is that it causes their attention to turn inwards towards their body. Stated another way, it causes a shift from using an external focus”

Admitting uncertainty doesn't signal that you lack expertise. It shows that you see complexity. 12 experiments: we're more likely to follow advice that sounds like a weather forecast. We don't blindly trust those who claim to know. We trust those who know what they don't know.

One of the most fundamental things to understand about football tactics, from the absolute beginner to twitter expert, is that there is an inextricable relationship between defensive & offensive structure. It is a dynamic that defines the effect of tactical choices in this sport.

1/3 Exercise design: To prepare to face a complete man-man press, we used the MD-2 to work on different scenarios. We knew from analysis that they would very seldom press the goalkeeper. First, our normal set up with 10s dropping and players rotating.

Training Idea 10v9, each team is attacking 4 goals. The green team is the team that always restarts with possession, they are attacking the two mini goals right at the top and the two in the middle rectangle facing in the same direction. Orange attacks the the 4 other goals.

Good teams make it look like they’re half a second from losing possession. But this is actually the key because half a second too early and the opponent doesn’t commit in the way that you need to exploit the space they’ve left It’s all about the moment. twitter.com/futbolvids88/s…

Training reflection A popular them these days is diagonal and angled play. We had this interesting situation in our recent u16 training that I believe helps players understand the importance of this concept implicitly in practice. I'll use the two fields below to explain

Ganso hardly ever receives on the back foot on the half-turn with 'open body posture'. Which is one of the reasons he has such a unique and aesthetically pleasing play-style.

Recap: By 'BREAKING THE WAVE' of momentum the attacking team is doing two things: 1. Progressing the ball 2. Causing the defending team to expend more energy. First step to helping players 'BREAK THE WAVE' is having them notice the momentum of the game.

Dominating the MOVEMENTS OF THE BACKLINE is a must. The 360 Perception to identify the key references in the game. And the adjustment of the Body Profile and the Positioning is crucial to keep the compactness of the team.

THIS IS BUILD UP FROM THE BACK Mitoma's goal stems from building up from the back even if it doesn't seem so. The whole idea behind building up from the back consists in attracting opposition's pressure to then find space behind pressure lines to attack, as happened here.
