I'd prefer this style that we can watch both teams' tactics in the same video over two separate vids.

It’s games like this where messi and KDB prove to be so valuable, they can pick out long passes to move the team forward, take 1 on 1s and shoot from long distance, Barca today had none of that they were hopeless

As long as we can't deal with teams sitting deep after they score through moments of brilliance we won't make it far, those moments will become more common as you advance CL cuz it's the best teams in the world playing each other.

The 3-2-5 shape of Barca proved to be not effective. The Barca fullbacks should invert from the start of the game, this can allow Raphinha and Dembele to 1v1 more

They marked Dembele so hard that he lost the drive like giving away balls, etc. That disrupted the attacking flow.

Can you prepare a video on how could Xavi break Inzaghi's defensive system and how should he play against inter at the camp nou? because if he doesn't try something new that game would only be a version 2.0 of this one

Perfect example of dominating without ball

Remember Jose beat Pep in 2010 using a similar style, Inzaghi simply said “ this is football heritage” last night😂

5:53 and that's where frankie de Jong would have been gold in this match

Inter after scoring a goal. Alright Bois, let's do the intense Italian football culture 🤣🤣🤣

I think if Frenkie had played, he would have devoured those space with his run and potentially bring the danger, he will be essantiel in the next game

José Mourinho: "The last time Barcelona came to Inter they lost"

I don’t understand why Alonso has to play very ucl game even tho balde already proved himself to be ready and offering way more dynamic. Also raphinha on the left, it was clear for weeks now that he shouldn’t play there

Great analysis as always. Found your page few days ago and have loved it since. What would you recommend though for breaking down teams that are disciplined and play a 5 back to nullify attacks. Because I’m anticipating going forward teams will start playing 5 back against Barca.

Couple points: - Raphinha was absolutely isolated on the left side, didn’t receive the ball high up the pitch thus no crosses, you either start him on the right side on put him in the bench, ferran creates more chances on the left. - Our style of play doesn’t benefit from players who always pass the ball back when under pressure (gavi, kessie) - defenders have to pass to strikers, whom would pass it back to midfielders and run towards the goal, we can’t always have this slow predictable build up.

Good analysis. Note that Barella was always tasked to be present around the central for overload and in attack every time as running threat. He is more like connecting the dots here and there. Pep must have planned the way to limit his role by now :).

Barca needed more width on the left side, alonso was too deep and it was easy too step up on to him and stop him from turning. Not much support in the half spaces from their midfielders either. All of this culminated in them not having much control in the final third.

Please do napoli why they are so effective on the ball. Thank you FMS

Can you Analyse Napoli and Spaletti with his "4-3-3 vertical possession" please

The way inter played this match with that man-to-man 5atb shape reminds me so much of the fabled grande inter side.

Please analyse the Liverpool match as they used the 4-2-3-1 formation

"Xavi gets a Six" proceeds to give 10 lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mourinho is proud of Inzaghi😂❤️

this match was perfect for kessie, big dude that loves to win 2nd balls, plus long shoot.

Pedri should eb used more up the field, we need top notch players in that area to create clear chances.

Dude, that was not simple. Well done!

inter have one of world best backline in the world ,, they are so underrated but they are just good ,

Xavi was relying on the crosses ( expected from left footed rafinha on left wing and right footed dembele on right wing) in the whole match. So nobody on the attacking side could cut inside and break inters defence lock

this was a very interesting analysis

can you also do the Ajax-Napoli match

klopp changed his tactics against rangers.. please make a video on this ..will be so intresting

Great analysis. Thanks man

I would have switched Roberto and dembele in attack, just to hold DiMarco on the line and use the space for crossing with dembele

8:37 Apart from not being an elite creator, Roberto could have taken better advantage of being in that position but Gavi never attacked the half space by making runs and he (Roberto) was conservative with his passes. There was a situation in the game when Lewandowski was in the half space and Roberto could have released him with a through ball but he decided to pass to Dembélé who was always going to be double teamed. He did not overlap to support Dembele and there was hardly ever any dynamism in his game. The same could be said of the entire team on Tuesday. Xavi's tactics was not a failure but it was marred by too much rigidity and his setup. Raphinha for one was never comfortable on the left wing talk more of playing him as an advanced 8. Alonso was too deep and static, the midfielders never took shots on goal and so on. It's going to be a thriller next week when we're likely going to see Inter defend with 10 men and an injury stricken Barca with 80% of the ball at the Camp Nou.

Barcelona is going European league Bayan and inter is stronger than them

brother i watch all your videos you are a beast, could you make a video about Napoli-AJAX i think Napoli deserves an analysis they are playing crazy good

As a much simpler analysis: inter played extreme defense with 6/4 lines when Barça ar close to the 18m square. It's Italians old school play. Defense and conter attacks.

xavi is not ready for europe this scenario was clear before the match busquets offers nothing in the midfield what he can do other can do and even more pjanic should have stayed for at least one season his vision shooting and long balls are important

Can you please make a video of what is going wrong tactically with antonio conte's Tottenham?

Always help if the referee annuls a legal goal and they don't call a penalty for clear hands inside your area...

Xavi chose not to be patient and to not play through the middle. This cost him. Nothing came trying from the wing.

Dembélé, Gavi, Baldé and Raphinha should develop their dribbling abilities even more ! Long shots should be more attempted Better counter-pressing More accurate crosses 4 solutions to beat those 5 defenders.

Please a Preview Analysis of Arsenal vs Liverpool coming up on this Sunday.

What I saw from the match is basically 2 key factors 1) Dembele is overrated, highly overrated 2) Mourinho famously claimed that just because you have possession, it doesn't mean anything unless you can take advantage of it. Mourinho during his Inter days proved that it's how you use the possession you have that makes you dangerous, not possession it's self. Inter was great at reading Barcelonas game and took advantage of the 30% possession it had to the fullest. When Barcelona had the possession, Inter let the come high and forced them to mistakes, which by that time did a quick counter and within a few seconds were at Barcelonas goalpost. It turns out that Simone Inzaghi was better prepared, showing his maturity as a coach and understanding of the opponent. If he continues this type of mentality, he can make Inter successful again.

I think Xavi just overestimated their own strength. When they played Bayern, Bayern was in completly crap form.

Xavi can't break organized teams with good defensive actions, that's it till now Thank you for the analysis

Could you please do ajax-napoli? That was a very interesting match.

whats the software you are using on the TV ? to move players

fanatics analysis...can i get the name of the software that you are using which is on the display

The goal is Busquets fault being extremely slow and barsa being really uneffective in attack is fault of Sergi Romuerto being just really bad. You cannot focus on Dembele side only the whole match if u have Roberto with him...

Please, Can you make Something about Napoli Outstanding Performance against Ajax

Great analysis, the game was highly technical but Xavi made some mistakes. Also the ref basically gave Inter the match.

Xavi is just not street smart to modify tactics He has to coach for 3 or 4 years to get that

Thanks🙌🖤💙🔥

Sound???

The wingers and Alonso were the main problem at barcelona.

So you're telling me kessie who specializes in running in and doing what needed to be done to win today, was left out? And Alonso who's fucken ass was a starter instead of balde who could've taken anyone on with his speed. Busquets was pressing??? WHY NOT JUST PUT KESSIE INSTEAD HE COULDVE DONE ALL THAT!!!!

Waiting on Southampton v city analysis

Please do a videos for Liverpool vs rangers.....Klopp used new tactics

assuming the score was in barca's favour could your analysis be the same?

This Gavi over Dejong is not working. Gavi should be Pedri's substitute. We need individual brilliance in the middle like that of De Jong runs and dribbles. Busquets should also be retired.

How valverde changes athletic bilbao

can you please make a video offering a solution for this low block problem and or how barca should play against inter and bayern

Barca just struggle against 5 at the back and I dont understand why they cross so much when teams sit deep

ref controlled the result. VAR is a working very well *roll*. can u make a video about uefa tactics?

They definitely need someone like KDB

Barcelona is playing a very obvious game , xavi needs to understand that dembele cannot beat 3 players at times only 2 max to show that this playstyle looking like pep's shows that this style heavily relies on a killer like messi

We lack quality players, we didn't even try to shoot from outside of the box, dembele a huge question mark, we need to seriously stop hyping average players..

Because Farca playing game are predicable

dembele can't more than one player always man needed help lewa needed service alonso isn't a barca level player lets be real alba is still better respect to sergio busquets the but in a game where you'll face alot of counter attacks positional play won't help u kessie should have started

very good breakdown and analysis

I believe inter can repeat this in the UCL final

I don't think there is anything Xavi could've won, Man City barely created anything last season against Atletico. Why would this be a different case? Even if Pep was barca coach, i don't think anything would've changed.

Can you do a tactical analysis of Chelsea 3-0 ac Milan?

Xavi is young and still learning, but we should also say that about the team. If you look back at Pep's Barça, they would always know where each other is without looking, that means they would progress the ball quicker with smart 1-2s while also having the courage to take on 1v1s. Raphinha and Dembele had a bad game, but later on in the season they will adapt and be more incisive, I'm sure.

Goes to show how we still lack the right players We really need a quick and expert passer at Rb Roberto had so much space but couldn’t do much He knew didn’t have the speed and would have cost us more if he lost the ball in a dangerous area Apart from lewandoski nobody seemed to be running into space Speedy players are more efficient in today’s game

Xavi had the good idea but didn't have the right players to execute his ideas

I don't know if Xavi actually analyse how the opponents are gonna play.i don't know if he discuss with his player in conference before every game like pep and Mourinho.Barca's gameplay is always predictable.Xavi might thought that since we played good game against bayern,we will go with the same approach.But he didn't know Bayern and inter's gameplay are different.Bayern doesn't suit back like inter.They have lot of space for opponents to attack.but whereas inter just sit back and wait for the correct time for counter.Xavi should know that every opponents coach does analyse our games too.And we always have to a plan B.

classic cattenacio

Barce need midifield like bernardo or player like messi

From korea I want to see english subtitle pls upload

FDJ would've been a great runner

Xavi is too inexperienced, and i dare say he is simply not ready for this level. Why start Alonso instead of Balde who is a better attacking LB? Why start Raphina on the left? Why start Gavi, he should be a sub at best? This loss was on Xavi - his tactics and choice of players is extrememly falwed, he is good enough to beat small teams but when he comes up against good managers he is exposed dispite him having a far better team.

Dembele sent like 30 crosses and got 5 right, Raphinha was out on the left and he wasn't looking right at all - he was frozen and frustrated, Pedri was carrying 10 men on his back, Lewandowski was making all the right movements but the pass to him? None existent. Christensen and Roberto performed well too to be honest

barca attacks could be more dangrous if Sergi Roberto overlapped

Barcelona should sign Mount and Jorginho they could've won

But analysis very nice👌

Too fuckin predictable, every time we play vs deep blocks, it’s always the same bs as usual. Just find Dembele or Alonso who is SHIT and just spam crosses and Gavi being higher is pointless cuz Dembele won’t make any runs behind the defense or at least help Lewa. Raphinha on LW doesn’t work. Also, if Gavi is higher, Pedri was good but he needs to go in the box more often. Xavi needs to change this maybe Kessie over Gavi next game and our injured players need to come back asap

Why xavi couldn't solve the puzzle Me:bcoz he is xavi😂

I can be a better coach is all i feel dead tactically favouring spanish player is all i can say like what the fuck is kessie doing in the team or just loan him out and why the hell is balde benched in champions league🤣🤡 Against Italian football still attacking with dembele and rafinha is worst again The italin football is much defensive xavi should have brought ferran toress before ansu fati ferran toress will mke a dummy run here and there(only thing he is good at) and gavi or sergio roberto will be the right winger it was a simple defence but worked 100 on 💯 for the inter boss all credit to him

Impossible to use wingers against a 5-line defense and no help from your team. Why not trying Dembele and Raphinha playing at the same side for a while? They have pace and skill to make associations, 1-2 plays and open space for shoot or cross. Sergi Roberto is useless, so having him as a guy with freedom means nothing for Barça. The midfield was dominated by the Inter's physical midfield, and we see in these situations when a 34yo guy like Busquets makes things much slower and weak in that area. Well done by Inter, well done by you again! Cheers!

Alonso, S Roberto can’t play… Raphina not at his best position… Busquets is not physically threatening. Gavi is a baby… Eric can’t run… Bring the physicality type of player… bigger strength, run super fast and can dribble nimble….

Midfield should have been Pedri Dejong Kessi

Please analyze napolis new tactics❤

Imagine u break the rule and take part to Europe

Why Xavi's tactical score

If Raphina would have played better ,barca would have definitely won.

70% plus posession and nothing to show. Too bad we didn't have the pace or power up front to make Barca pay more. But with Lukaku returning to partner Lautaro up top we'll see.

Too many coaches have an obsession for the 2-3-5. It's all about copy and paste Pep

No sound ?
