Lol

How does it makes any sense? Enlighten me.

@@andpictures SCANdinavia

@@SantiagoGonzalez-sl5lj lol

Thank you bro 💙

Woah, noticed it too

actually his teammates on both sides of him appear to be scanning

Odegaard and Partey had a synced scan. Unreal stuff??? 2 team mates looked at each other on a football pitch - Wow!!

@@hanx3560 LMAO

@@hanx3560 someone get this guy a snickers

john terry was better at scanning than xavi. not with the ball tho but with his teammates wife

@@rouen1111 Courtois too

@@rouen1111 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Don’t forget icardi, he’s smooth😂

pirlo as well

I’d counter with the point that it is, especially within players in the middle the pitch…I think it’s a trait that more and more people are beginning to realize is integral to a quality baller

Scanning anticipation and body positioning are the most important qualities required from an intelligent world class player.

That's how players like Xavi went unnoticed for years and still remain underrated despite winning 2 Euros and a WC in 4 years as the brains of his national team and club. Average person is pretty dumb, half the population is even dumber than that. That's who is judging footballers.

@@RiceBowl0 Maybe to fans who haven't played??? Scanning is really basic stuff taught at an early age.

​@@RiceBowl0 Everyone knows it's integral. Pros just do it without thinking, based purely on instinct. They probably don't even realise how important it is to them.

This is a commercial for a reason 😂

Yep. Messi doesn’t need to scan much to see the whole picture. For Xavi, I think it’s just an obsession on his part.

Ødegaard has trained this very consistently and specifically with his father (who's a coach in the Norwegian league) from a very young age

True. When Martin was 15 and Real was in for him. A newspaper asked his father what made him so good. The father did not use the word «scan» but described several exercises they did from when he was young to get a updated picture of the field before recieving the ball

I do same vedios pass and show love subscribing

He doesn’t really stick to the flank he’s not a real rw

His scan rate was 100%

At PSG it’s prolly a negative number

Messi doesn't scan as much because he's confident in his reactive dribbling. His supreme dribbling ability does two things for him -- first, it keeps him from being dispossessed despite not scanning for potential tacklers, second, it encourages him to take the ball forward himself, which _then_ leads to critical pass opportunities by creating space for a teammate to make a run.

@@CognizantCheddar This!

This is making me think I want all our runners within short-passing range of him all the time! Give him as many options as possible to hit. This scanning is not something that is easy to teach - not to mention he is able to reach the crucial players that he locates with his scan more often than not (and he can even make the run himself if our runners drag the defense with them). It's up to the system to give this talent the opportunity to shine.

I don't think there is much to do about this, and probably we shouldn't either. I want to mention that White (and sometimes even Partey) is often combining with Saka and Ödegaard, but I agree that they look quite isolated on the right. I think it all comes down to how our opponents set up defensively. In the Newcastle game we got a first glimpse of it and from the Everton defeat and onwards most teams have been staying very low, compact and slightly tilted to our right once we get the ball to about half way up the offensive half right flank, all in order to limit the workspace for 7 and 8. This is one of the key elements that enabled Trossard's assist hat-trick. With this distribution of about 3 players on the right and 4 on the left we have equal threat on both sides when in possession. In my view the only time Martin can have many threatening passing options is before opponents have the chance to return to their box. When he gets the ball slightly beyond the center line is where I think he shines the most and where the subject of this video is most convinient. Thats why I like when he gets to press the centre backs so he can get in position quickly once we gain possession. No doubt the best player in the league this season is Norwegian, but its a close call wether he wears red or blue.

@@Kalliniho that's a fair point and I think we agree they if defensive opponents set up with a focus on one side, it opens up chances on the other. I just have this dream of a system where we get partey and martin in perfect balance through the middle and a combo of an unstoppable dribbler and a tricky line breaking operator on each side. I think trossard and martinelli on the left are everything I could hope for. Maybe trossard moves over to give that option for saka and esr takes over that role for Gabby? As you said, our fortunes seem to have shifted from right to left recently and i feel like it's only a matter of time until defensive teams adapt. Is there a world in which we find the perfect balance or is it a matter of switching things up off the bench to catch opponents off guard...

I don’t understand your analysis at all honestly. Very static games? All our games are static. We play for possession and most teams play low block against us. Recycling the ball until a chance presents itself is our most fundemental game plan. Ødegaard is the main creative point of this setup down the right, either dragging players away from Saka or playing the necessary supportive passes or the final through ball. We don’t have the rotational option on the right as we have on the left, where the striker switches with left wing and vice versa. This is why Xhaka is not dallying as much on the ball as Ødegaard, because we have more players on the left. Zinny also comes in to middle from the left while White stays much wider and also further back. Ødegaard therefore has a lot less support, but with his phenomenal passing foot, press resistance and ability to switch it over to the left, he doesn’t need that many options close to him. He’s also a great defensive attribute in our first press, which you can definitely see we are missing when Vieira is playing that position. I don’t get what you are trying to suggest saying that his position on the pitch is made “barely possible” by the system and his work rate. Barely doesn’t get you top of the league at the end of March.

If you've noticed, most of our creativity on the left actually comes from Zinchenko, and the one doing the "wandering around" is Xhaka. Essentially, both Zinny and Ødegaard have very similar playmaking styles, the only difference is that one comes from deep midfield while the other comes from the half spaces. I'll elaborate this further if you want me to. Also, Arteta's tactics during his first few months as Arsenal manager will give you a reason or two as to why your idea of a central 10 would possibly not work. The general idea is that Arsenal would start games with Özil as the central 10, but somehow, Özil would end up in the right half space during the attacking phase. If he were to stay central, not only would you lose a player in a crucial attacking position, but you'd also leave yourself vulnerable to counters. The thing is that a central 10 simply doesn't exist in today's game, honestly I can't name a team who plays such a system anymore.

didn't finish the video, did you?

@@Qfreihat That is really weird. If I were to make a bet, I would swear that I did. If I didn't just rewatch the ending, I wouldn't believe you. I did donate blood yesterday, so I may have been lightheaded and delusional. Either that or I live in a VR world. Oh, well. The joke is on me I guess. Such is life.

@@beyourbestpro That is kinda funny to be honest, even though the joke is on me. See my above comment for clarification. 😅
