Last night, I had another watch of Bayern vs RB Leipzig (German Super Cup Final) from Saturday Night (12/08/23). The game finished 3-0 to Leipzig. The main focus of this analysis is to look at how RB Leipzig operated, mainly Out of Possession, to achieve this victory. (Thread)

Interesting how “unstable” and “chaotic” this looks, yet this is the same team in training Maybe just become a product of their training environment and are comfortable within this, can read situations + strong associative play due to their repetitive environment in training

Really interesting listening to @Jon_Mackenzie @MartinRafelt talk about Positional Play, Relationism etc. Big thing that I’ve seen, which Martin mentioned, was “when” a team applies these. My known example is Lazio under Sarri who would build in their own half in… (1/2)

- LB/LW adjusting to inside/outside left spacing - Distances between midfield here - RW inversion to exploit space (Rabiot dragged both times) as RCM vacates his space (seen early + the eventual forward pass) - Lift in tempo + aim for combination as ball goes forward

Bayern block in middle third slow to shift horizontally from left to right as Madrid switch play, oepning lane between Laimer and Sane for Madrid to play into Vinicius. CB not jumping either which is quite risky if Vinicius isn’t closed down quickly after receiving here

Watching some Napoli under Sarri clips. With Jorginho being the main receiver (like to find him facing forward) as the DM, it’s interesting how its not only through third mans or combinations but also just simply through his ability to turn and open/close his hips when receiving

Quite like Baleba in midfield for Brighton. Does the usual job of a Brighton/De Zerbi CM well but also seems keen to drive forward with the ball. Great awareness aswell to read where the next pressure is coming from and make his decision to combine or turn out via this.

Don’t think Lazio have been too bad. Created some decent chances and defended with a strong mentality, although perhaps too passive. See in the below thread how Lazio adjust their press against 2CB’s vs 3CB’s. Feel Sarri set up for 2CB’s in initial press and has adjusted now.

However, some managers plan meticulously, but then over-think it & effective communication is lost. In the 2020 final, Southgate spent a mighty 3 min, 30 sec on logistics (e.g., revising notes and deciding about his penalty takers #6 -10). Indecisiveness can be contagious. 4/8

Bayern vs Leipzig In Possession - Build-Up Third 2-4-4 shape vs 4-2-3-1/4-4-2 Press (3/3): - Leipzig press in this third disrupted Bayern control - I would question if CMs can do more to aid RB (ball-side CM drops deep and wide behind RB and far-side CM moves into vacated space)

Feel a big detail about this jump from CB > midfield is the timing. I’ve seen the CB jump later in the move, rather than immediately, perhaps to disrupt the opposition press in a dynamic moment. Allows CB to pick spaces pressers may vacate or attract pressure to free others.

Bologna's ability to maintain a stable structure despite incredible individual fluidity is fascinating, and the CBs play a significant role in this. Focus on Jhon Lucumí (26). Starts the clip as a CB, moves into a CM position, supporting both wide areas, and then stays at RB.♻️

Really basic errors in Chelsea’s press again. So much space between 1st + 2nd line of 4-4-2 allowing Partey to receive. Again, Caicedo jumping onto Partey after and space around Enzo exposed. CB’s not jumping and leaving 1v1 against Havertz either. Tough

4-4-2 High Press Fail: - In buildup, 2ST’s screen Rodri + Akanji (CM’s) - Jump from Palmer after initial angled press = group message to be tight and aggressive, esp on ballside - Jackson tight to ballside DM here however Madueke caught 2v1 between farside CM and LB (1/2)

@umirf1 From my watching over the last year or 2, Lazio suffered from this. Much of their work in possession, in the opposition half was “connected” by Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. His eventual loss last summer was a huge factor towards their downfall and Sarri leaving, imo.

I think this clip is really interesting in terms of the current look at positional/relational teams. Here, I would argue Lazio use a mix, as @toni_Gagliardi explains in his recent work, of perimetral and spatial players. Midfield all adjusting angles, RW too. LW/LB… (1/2)

Variation in 3-2-5: - Ball-side FB moving high + wide - Far-side FB stays deeper and slightly narrow to support CB’s in transition (+ potential fluctuation of width in switch to unbalance City shape) (1/2)

Chelsea In Possession Summary: I thought Build-Up was weak, with an overeliance on going long However, given the game plan to play heavily in transitions, this created these moments + stretched the game + City Jackson strong receiving back to goal, Palmer great in pockets

This Real Madrid press seems to be there for the taking. 4-2-4 and CM’s getting dragged out of the centre frequently. Perfect opportunity for Barca to breakout

In Possession - Control Third Playing Through Central Spaces: - As mentioned above, emphasis usually to play through these central spaces - Body shape from Estupinan to find far-side CB - As far-side CB receives, MU shuffle over leaving space for ST to receive in (poor touch)

Impacts on City Build-Up: United done well to close off Foden/KDB initially, with Amrabat/Mainoo going tight 2v2. Solution for City imo revolves around separating and creating space between United’s CMs, to play through or isolate either of them 1v1. Below ideas show this👇🏻

General post but so happy with how “open” my head is towards football atm. Used to neglect certain aspects of football in my coaching and analysis (physical, Out of Poss, “battles” etc - funny being from NI🙃) Appreciate these a lot more besides my existing ideas on the game🤣🙌🏻

Odegaard constantly aware of outball through LCB when pressing high, which limits his jump to press GK, when Villa circulate again, allowing Villa to slow down again Any potential jump from Ode allows for outball on farside (3rd man through centre), overloading Sala + White 3v2

1st Clip - Space between RCM/RW opened/Success by KMJ being aggressive: - RW anticipates Real circulating to left side, leading to slight jump - RCM forced to jump to press midfielder leaving Vini free to find angle off RCM - KMJ aggressive as Vini receives, launching counter

4-4-2 High Press Fail: - In buildup, 2ST’s screen Rodri + Akanji (CM’s) - Jump from Palmer after initial angled press = group message to be tight and aggressive, esp on ballside - Jackson tight to ballside DM here however Madueke caught 2v1 between farside CM and LB (1/2)

Use of Rodri + Kovacic: - Good work to find the space, development of this over the 30 mins, gotta be brave in execution here to find spare man early - See Haaland moving deep to overload midfield line 3v2 - Kovacic found, lack of support around him immediately + United recovery

In Possession - Control Third Wide Movements (1/3) - Ball-side CB has time + space to travel (mentioned above) - Ball-side FB then moves higher in the wide lane - To compliment, Ball-side WG moves inside to double up on LB and leave one free to receive

Italy beating press well getting into wide areas under heavy pressure then using a diagonal into central more advanced spaces to escape. Barella again so key in breaking out Failing to carry momentum into Spain half in attack, lack of strong ball carriers there in big spaces imo

The synergy and connections relevant to all 3 of these teams, in their best moments, is key. Connections + Synergy outweigh the stylistic details each one has.

after Sarri’s Napoli, this is the next most synonymous team to Pep’s Barça. so many shared elements. the distances. the deep, horizontal overloads. the dynamic arrivals into space. pass counts & speed. technical details. distribution of responsibility to create pass lanes etc.

Poch project has Chelsea hasn’t exactly gone to plan but after the analysis I done on them and watching tonight, I’m intrigued in seeing how/if they move on next season. Maybe need to watch them against teams that let them have the ball, then make my judgement…

4-4-2 Midblock: - Gives Madueke 2 jobs: press Ake when he receives + recover to defend Grealish - Press angle may help Madueke here to screen Grealish (show Ake inside) but 3rd man LB-CM-LW may unlock this (2/2)

Regardless of result, Brighton always a great watch. Constant central combinations are mesmerising. Small details in creation of angles, ball speed in different moments, awareness of where the next pressure is coming from etc etc. Honestly beautiful🙌🏻🙌🏻
