Guys I have worked day and night on a 11-0-0 formation. In this formation 5 players sit on the remaining 6 player shoulders and they cover the goal completely, thus leaving no room for the ball to go in. This formation guarantees a nil nil in all games. Giving solid 38 points to the team and keeping it safe from relegation.
St Pauli didn't hear much of them but their statistics in 2nd Bundesliga were insane. Hardly surprised Fabian switched to a more traditional back 4 because leaving too much space and overcommiting players against city arsenal liverpool is an instant 5 nil L for brighton 😂
Hansi flick's barcelona tactics next
hürzeler signing ferdi makes so much sense now. ferdi is excellent for that kind of wb role. he will wear it like a glove, considering his skill set.
Good detailed in depth analysis. Easy to see and understand what looks like from off the field. But how players on the field know where they should be is amazing. They each have to know where their teammates are.
On FM I play a Libero+Inverted Attacking Wingbacks 3-1-6. Its crazy how Ive used this Tactic from 2011 and seeing it now work IRL. My 9 and 10 combine with the Libero just like you showed in the Box Midfield. The Key for me was Ball Winning 10s and Fast or Smart CBs.
as a st pauli fan for more than 15 years now this kinda hurts. not only fabian left, but our most important player of the last season, marcel hartel. the first two games this season left the impression that we probably going down again to div 2. i like to think with fabian and marcel we would have had an actual chance to secure div 1.. anyway the video was pretty accurate as far as i can tell, keep it on!
Dk falcon is a legend
Perhaps Fabian Hurzeler's most interesting attribute is his willingness to adapt and learn. He didn't completely overhaul Roberto DeZerbi's Brighton system with the St. Pauli one, instead he put his own tweaks and flair to Brighton's 3ATB last season. The inverted wingback is more common under Hurzeler but the buildup is between 3ATB and 4ATB, just like RDZ last season. Hurzeler uses a more advanced CM instead of a RDZ double DM pivot as well.
First video I've seen on this channel, and I'm impressed by how well analysed and well explained the tactics are. Excellent video!!
When i was really young, like 8 or 10 years old, i was playing house league soccer in Canada and my dad was our coach. We're Dutch and he loved total football. We set up as a 2-3-5. And basically every other team was 4-4-2. We won every game all year by at least 5 goals. Something like 25 games. I hardly remember the ball ever being in our own half all year. I think our goalie took like 10 shots against all year. We just smothered them in their own end, nobody had an answer to our strategy. Everyone hated us. Lol. The league commissioner tried all year to remove our speedy players trying to handicap us, still didnt work. Lol
Remember kids, it's genius - unless Ten Hag does it.
Need a tactical analysis of Guardiola 2024-25 setup
As an extra, they also took Ferdi. The best ball-carrying full-back you've ever seen. I am a Fenerbahçe fan and throughout the season I watched him make excellent plays with playmaker wings like Tadic. I think they will be very compatible with Mitoma. But if there is a dribbling winger in front of him, his usefulness decreases. Because they're trying to use the same half space corridor
To play his 7 defenders 7 attackers formation the team needs to have so many work horses. It's not that easy. And it is very prone to counter attacks against better attacking teams.
8:50 is an interesting strategic concept that I didn't even think about being used in football. I am a Rocket League player and we have a similar concept (although not highly spoken about) that many pros made use of instinctively on their come-up during the COVID and preCOVID era called a "half-turn", which basically does the same thing. NOTE: Half-turn is distinctly different from a half-flip. A half-turn is entirely a positional feature that allows for more effective cutting, defending, and counters. While half-flip is a bailout mechanic for poor position or unexpected clears that is unsurprisingly used less the higher level you get.
bro make a tactical video feel like a vice documentary. it's great
Best tactic video I have seen in a while. Great illustrations, maybe a bit too much of swirling and zooming for my taste, but I'm getting old.
How about an analysis of hansi flick's start with Barcelona?
This is literally my fav youtube channel right now
