From a coaching and strategic standpoint, doing what you are practicing since July makes more sense to continue on doing, even with 9 men, instead of dropping deep, allowing the pressure coming on you constantly. For sure your team will be better in what you are practicing.

Stop creating narratives based on results - it's the death of the game. I've already seen too many takes based on RMA's win - those who criticize MCI would appreciate their 2nd half performance if this game is 1-1. That's the problem, thinking in situations instead of processes.

A simple technique often used by De Bruyne against tight man-marking -› near the box always staying behind his marker - as soon as the marker fixes his orientation on the ball he immediately looks to make a run behind on the marker's blindside - just enough to separate

LIV-MCI -› both team using similar concepts to attack through the wide spaces -› force last line narrow, MCI in 2-2-2-4 inside Ws to force FBs inside & open width / LIV in asymmetric 3-2-5, LW often moving high between FB-CB to open space for LB wide

Juventus' structure - creating a 325 from the initial 442 - triangle of Ronaldo-Ramsey-Kulusevski between lines, often asymmetric to overload - principle similar to Atalanta to create wide overloads using the CFs wider between lines.

Positional variations of PSG's 4222 system: -wingers in halfspaces, asymmetric back 4 + Mbappé moving wide -asymmetric CMs + Neymar wide - Mbappé inside -CFs between CB-FB, double runs wide -CM drops - CF diagonal run on far side + W blindsided movement between lines

A really nice variation -from Northampton, 4th division- against a man-oriented free-kick defending: -2 to rotate out from inside to far-side + 2 to block the last 2 defenders to open space

Love the result-oriented thinking from people who are allegedly working in football, coach, journalist etc. If Aguero would have been onside in the end, everyone would circle jerk Pep, now it's the opposite. Making consequences from results rather than processes is misleading.

A really good example for Conte's pre-game preparation v Man City: -MCI used a left-sided overload v back 5 system lately -› with a double run to stretch last line, especially between wide CB-CCB -solution -› Spurs to keep back 5 narrow, Kulusevski to drop wide/deep

Love this defending from van Dijk. Notice how he maintains the same body posture, so Gnabry can't catch him off-balance. With lateral posture -better acceleration possible- he can control a possible inside cut with his closer leg + also guides Gnabry outwards eventually.

Ajax positional play approach vs PSV, some interesting ideas: -using LB flexibly to move inside & make runs behind even in attacking third -heavy emphasis to make runs behind & stretch last line and divide defenders' attention -overloading centre & spaces between the lines
