Brighton have lit up the Premier League this season, playing some beautiful and bold football that has seen them fly toward the European places.
While they have transitioned from Graham Potter to Roberto Di Zerbi - they have picked up a new form of transitional play, which sees Brighton defenders often standing still with their studs on the ball.
Why are they doing this? Jon Mackenzie explains.

@@DemonetisedZone it’s psychological. When you play football and see a player with their studs on the ball, you naturally feel instinct to press and tackle them, because studs on the ball looks very relaxed and potentially unaware.

Interesting thing : De Zerbi said that he learned the importance of this technique during his period at Foggia because he had a player called Antonio Vacca who used to do this all the time. When RDZ asked why is he doing it all the time the player answered that he noticed that when he uses his sole to control the ball the opponent presses with more aggressivity which it means that he frees a lot of space to be exploited.

I find it really hard to notice these things when I watch football. Like, im trying to understand what each team is doing, but I get caught up in the emotion of the game. The extent of my analysis is invariably, “oh, team A seem to be sitting back and inviting pressure”. That’s all I’ve got usually…. Also, it’s really hard to see patterns when the camera angles aren’t showing everything. Anyway, that’s my pointless mid morning Monday musing. Good day.

@josephdominic9305 Жыл бұрын

As a Leicester fan, I feel we used a version of this tactic under Claude Puel and latterly Rodgers where we just kept passing it slowly around the back endlessly to bait a press rather than trying to build through the phases. Problem was teams got wise to it, let us have the ball and waited for a misplaced pass then inevitably scored, and sat back. Which we couldn't then break down. So it's a good tactic of the team does come looking for the ball, but if not, it produces some of the most dull football where you can have 70% or more of the ball but actually be playing defensively and create nothing at all.

We (Arsenal) played Brighton twice now, and Ive noticed this so much and its soo annoying. We usually press regardless but they can play through the press using creative build up patterns and feed it to the wide players who can dribbled to the final 3rd. From there, they also have a few final third patterns which they use to break the defense shape and create space. Man u also does this, (not ball on the studs thing), play through the press, ball to eriksen, then Fernandes then rashford.

Everton used to do this a bit with Gareth Barry just sort of pootling on the ball. This was probably under Martinez. Under Moyes, when Everton were the better team, we pinned back the opposition a lot, but their low block stopped us far too much. Martinez wanted to generate the space by inviting a press, from a slow DM. Though we did get caught too much. Interesting video!

It makes a lot of sense in futsal as the way the ball and shoes grip means it’s the best method to control it. It’s not as efficient in football due to grass and studs (rather than a court) as it’s easier to control normally. But could be useful in the manner they talk about here.

@@absolutespoon2074bingo. 5 a side and futsal are almost different sports to football simply because of the footware. Both the former sports are dominated by players dragging the ball in different directions with the undersole, it’s almost the definitive skill required. Whilst you can occasionally do it in football, it becomes a lot harder with studs, the ball is much less manoeuvrable with the undersole and indeed in wet conditions particularly, you are likely to lose the ball if you do this too often.

I think de zerbi use feet on the ball for defender because 1. his defender are not well awared of the ball like midfield or forward. Feet on ball makes them aware of the ball while looking for a pass. How many time have we see while building up that defender keep looking up for a pass and then get press, panic and forgot where the ball actually is and took half a second to find it and lost the ball. 2. Many player don’t aware of the ball keep rolling while take a touch and then looking up for a pass. That 10cm roll can traslate to 0.5sec faster for opponent successful press. Feet on ball secure the ball position while defender keep looking up for pass. Player can be more certain when timing how long will it take for opposition press and more successful baiting for press as this cut the chance of defender error of misjudged the ball roll.

Im pretty sure this video just describes is to use triangles in possession, and to use "false" forwards to bait defenders into deciding to let go or keep marking. There´s very little new or unique to this and brighton. This is a fundamental thing in football.

Video is a little long but good content! Question: is Brighton so good now partially because of what potter did or totally because of de zerbi?

@manniking233 Жыл бұрын

Partially, yes. Without the football education Potter gave to that Brighton squad, there's no way they could interpret and execute RDZ's instructions so quickly. They'd take far longer and RDZ would probably be fired by then if fans are impatient.

I don’t know for sure, but I’m almost certain Brighton are playing a lot of Futsal in training.

De Zerbi is a coach that makes teams play as cool as his name

I didn’t think there would be anyone else in the U.K. beside myself with a Torreense top?? Any connection or just liking the Boca look?

Between the lines generally means the space between D/M/F , idk where he got lines going perpendicular to the formation from.

i think transition is when you change from defensive formation to atacking formation, and vice versa

I've noticed even wingers doing it when receiving the ball with their back to goal and the marker tight to them.
