There is an unseen work from Odegaard & Rice to make Bellingham & Rodrygo narrow inside. That opened up the passing lane to find Martinelli & Saka in 1v1 situations. Arsenal generated chances even when the wingers got doubled up. Arsenal need someone to finish the crosses.

Mainly, these are the 4 zones to cover when defending crosses. Without mentioning Real Madrid's vulnerability in defensive transitions. Take a look at Leganés' 2nd goal against Real Madrid. None of these 3 zones was properly covered before the cutback was played.

As I'm watching Mainz 05, I find out they usually want to create from the right side and they tend to gather in numbers in the middle third on the right. Here: —Wide CB Da Costa advances and overlaps the RWB Caci; —Quick ball combination between the CCB Bell, RWB Caci & AM Lee;

Before the 1GA, Manchester United manipulated perfectly Real Sociedad's 4-1-4-1 narrow low block. In this scene, Casemiro was ready to clip the ball to the runner, Diogo Dalot. However, Aguerd scanning & Zubimendi close position to Dalot enabled the pair to shrink the space...

Over two legs, PSG got the nod over Liverpool. An eye-catching performance from Luis Enrique's side in Paris ended with a late defeat. At Anfield, it cannot be a one-sided show because it is Anfield. I tactically analyzed the second leg. t.co/R3SN9DmyqR

Luis Enrique and PSG displayed a great show of expansive football in the first leg and showed fantastic threat from transitional based-game in the second. That's because of the quality and diversity of the players he has between his hands. Over two legs, PSG deserved the win.

✍️Tottenham attempted to hurt Bournemouth by exploiting the central channels. Pushing on the FBs supported the process, but it made Ange Postecoglou's team vulnerable in the counter. Let's assess how much both generated adv from such situations. 🧵[Short Tactical Thread]

I cannot understand Tottenham players' decision-making while they are under pressure. They could concede two goals repeating the same mistakes against Bournemouth in the first 5 minutes. Their persistence of buildup from the back without having available options could cost them

Real back to second with Mbappé breaking his drought. But beneath the brilliance, lax pressing and defensive gaps left the door open. Tactical mastery going forward, alarming fragility off the ball. ✍️ @lamdarhriachraf.bsky.social betweentheposts.net/real-madrid-...

Club Brugge 4-1-4-1 out-of-possession set-up prevents Aston Villa from progressing through the DPs, plus they keep +1 at the backline. However, it provides Villa's CBs with space to carry the ball. So once Brugge players close to the ball holder jump on, Villa bypass the press.

La Liga Teams Field Tilt vs PPDA —Barcelona are outliers with the lowest PPDA and highest Field tilt. —Real Madrid comes second in the Field tilt, but they could increase those numbers had they pressed with the same quality as Barcelona. Real Madrid PPDA are scary.

Aston Villa 10s and especially Marco Asensio were Chelsea Kryptonite when the Blues pressed high up the pitch. Chelsea players allowed them space and time to generate self-made transitions and exploited BTLs. Let's assess this sequence in the 18th minute.

If Man City were to sign Cambiaso, they'll get a player who can: —Play in Gvardiol place & Walker position; —Hold width in both sides; —Operate next to Rodri or Nico Gonzalez; —Play BTLs like R. Lewis does & he's an upgrade. He can fulfill these roles with the same efficiency.
