"Once England score and refuse to play anymore" caught me offguard🤣🤣

Will be genuinely shocked if either Spain or Germany don’t win the whole thing

Spain and Germany QF is gonna be the secret title decider

Can we get a vid on Ragnick's Austria?

Relationism ❌ Power of friendship ✅

And Southgate is somewhere defending his horrible football and tactics on availability of his players With such a huge talented squad That is a crime It should definitely be 😢

I had been picking up on the 3 at the back, however your videos always seem to explain tactics much better than I can comprehend them. Thank you

bless you for owning England. I'm so fed up with Southgate 😭

As a south american I also feel like a thing people forget about "relationism" is how much it just refurbishes creating space in the zone 14 which is the late 90's and early 2000's new concept of seeing football that then gave born to the idea of half spaces and inverted wingers (being Ferguson and Rijkaard one of the most prominent coaches into the idea before positional football took it futher), which is basically that statistically most goals back then came from long ranged shots or cut ins or associatios/one twos in between the half spaces. So, by associating players in a numerical superiority usually in lay offs plays with lots of runners it creates perfect space in half spaces and in front the box for shooters such as Tielemans, Calhanoglu or Sabitzer to score bangers. (which I think is great, as there's been so many good players these last years who were very gifted in long ranged shots from outside the box but the tactic rigidity of most teams systems didn't let them shine in that matter) many tactical analysers and coaches from here just call the half spaces and the zone 14 in relatively the same fashion "la partesita de adentro" (the little part/pocket inside)

The strong defensive line youve mentioned at the end of the Video is the exact reason why weve witnessed so many own goals These Euros already. Something that shouldnt be underestimated is just how much of a psychological effect an own goal has on the players and on the whole game, especially the momentum.

Could you do the Austrian tactics please

A lot about Spain and Germany (rightfully so), but I'm surprised that there was not one mention of Rangnick's Austria.

That is why calafiori is so dangerous for oppositions, by having a libero like mindset and making runs centrally takes a lot of team off guard marking their oppositions. I expect those sort of out fo the box plays in the knockout stages.

Great video as always 👍 I noticed two other things about having 3 central defenders in the box at all times: 1) Starting central Strikers are having a goal drought. 2) lotsa goals from rebounds and second ball in the penalty box. 3) Counters agianst these leggy defenders at the end if matches are very effective, especially down the half spaces...

Highest Goal scorer in the EUROS- OWN GOAL 🏆

The day relationism becomes prominent in europe will be a great day

We need a video on austria pleasee

This is very well explained, good work

As you've rightly said, the defensive formations of teams have been the major reason why more goals have been scored from outside the box. An example is the Denmark's equalizer against England, Denmark doesn't really have any good goal scoring chances in that game. However, hjulmand took the shot very quickly before England settled into their defensive shape and I guess his instinct was right, if he delayed a bit I think there would be bodies to block the shots from getting to pickford. Thank you for all you do, I am learning greatly from your analysis ❤

We are grateful for the long range goals and also our top scorer Own Goal

Great video 🎉

Great analysis, once again

This is all Guardiola's making, revolutionizing football

One trend is fast wingers dribbling past full backs innan exciting and effective way: Nico Williams and Lamal for Spain, Doku for Belgium, etc. Really enjoyable to watch!

a thing i noticed about portugal is that they are not press ressistence. i noticed it st the turkye game first of all they played strched formation witch caused them to move the ball from one side to the other without breaking any lines. they are caunting on personal abilitys or opponents "mistakes" while not depending on overlouds i can see them strrugling against a team that press high up the pitch

What software are you using for these formation videos?

In the first two games Germany rather played a skewed 2-3-5 where Kimmich played more offensively than Kroos. Kroos dropped into the defensive line occasionally, but not permanently. Against Switzerland Kroos played as DLP creating a clear back three, which didn't work out very well. Nagelsmann explained that he switched to the back three, because Switzerland pressed with three physical strikers.

Perfect content❤

will you make video on switzerland ? i think their manager is great tacticaĺy

Another big trend in this euro is own goals. Many teams are recurring to it, using the opponent's defenders to score.

1:52 wait England also use 1 pivot in declan rice Because TAA pushes up and Bellingham drops down but I think in some ways it's a double pivot But because rice is alone so its a single pivot who drops in the defence to make a back 5

One player that I found special at this euros is the Own Goal guy, lad is up for the golden boot

You should make a Austria Tactical Analysis

National team managers don't have the time to drill their players to a T like club managers. Players need extra touches to find teammates, teams don't press quite as aggressively, managers have to do with the best players they have (even if it means out of position players), and the attacking is a lot more improvised which lends very well towards a relationist style of play and long shots from distance. Spain is unique because the players have known each other a lot more and play in teams that are tactically similar to Spain, so they can in fact play like a club team.

This what bielsa been doing for a while now, always enjoyed this style of build up

Please do a review of Turkey’s tactics as well.

Can we please have a detailed analysis of Switzerland’s play? It has gone remarkably under the radar but is kicking backsides regularly.

i love how FM roasts England💀

You mentionned Spain playing differently, I'd also add France who has not really been building this way and they have been struggling. The CDM dropping in between the CBs is something that Pogba used to do a lot for France, and that imo has been severly lacking in the first two games when we are in possession. Tchouameni does it to an extent but he lacks the ball-playing capacities that Pogba had

I like nagelsma tactics he is so good😊

I think people play 1.very high press (if successful) counter attack ,(if unsuccessful), building from the back. 2. ball gets into your side of the pitch, very low press, don't let enemy get into the box, don't let passes into the box. 3. very narrow defense, moving and defending as a block. when in attack very narrow too, getting player advantage on one side of the pitch if enemy has more ball to the other side of the pitch to make enemies tired. 4. a lot of one-two play to see how the opponent reacts...

Please,, Make a Video on "overall tactics of South American Teams"

Do Austria

Did anyone else notice the small detail at 5:23? It’s so cool!

Very simple: playing with a back 3 means there are more midfielders. Many teams want to press high because of data analysis. The machine shows which area gives more probability of scoring. This line of thought is well known and need no more of explanation. However, as Ancelotti said, when you put more player in one area you left space somewhere else.

Copa america tactic review plz

Georgia reminds me off Marocco from 2022 with there "meta football".

To be fair Spain did not play against an offensive strong team yet, Croatia and Italy performed really bad in that regard, no runs behind the defensive line.

please review disastrous and chaotic Croatian "tactics"

Can you do one on France i don't actually see what they are doing 😅

Slovenia bringing back the 4-4-2 is beautiful

From what little I have seen of the euros i would say most teams lack a quality striker to score inside the box. Which is why I find Harry Kane playing deep and not leading the line very frustrating. If he played more as a poacher, let others do all the creative work people would have a better opinion of England

When he said once England score and refuse to play anymore I laughed really hard 🤣🤣🤣

We need a video on Ralf Rangnick’s Austria team please

Feature which stands out to me is the failure of set plays

Euros: Back 3 buildup Copa América: 3 punch combo

Relationism thriving now makes me so happy

What are you italian?

This is how I try to look at football but I'm not smart enough 😅

Why are you slapping the desk every so often?

I have a theory: This year Euro has a lot of long shots partly because the properties of the football used allow players to have more reliable long shots

Yes a back 3

There is NOTHING new tactically at these Euros. The only really interesting thong of notion to me is how much freedom and trust Riccardo Calafiori gets from Spalletti And how well he's keeping or exceeding those expectations without having the team suffer defensively. Calafiori has been the tournament's outstanding player as he's arguably the only player (MAYBE along with Musiala) who has had three good games.

Germany hard to press 😂😂😂. The distances to successfully get them under pressure are totally there... There is an overall lack of aggression to hunt when the pressing distances are totally doable..

Quick notice, Fernando Diniz was fired from his last club Fluminense. They are the actual Champions of Copa Libertadores!

Whoever wins between Spain and Germany will won the euro

You didn’t even talk about Austria

Why so many own goals?

I'm waiting on a video showing how this "Relationism" and the lack of evolution of this style led to the sacking of Fernando DIniz from the national team and now from Fluminense (who is currently on the last position of Brasileirão).

Bros No need to analyse Spalleti tactics that literally make Jorginho as a non functional player to decoy 💀

I'm starting to lose count of the amount of references of Fernando Diniz on international football related videos. And here he's simply not recognized as a good coach by the majority of people I talk to

Oh, they stole my idea

To be honest, the Euro is quite disappointing to watch. Most big teams tend to move the ball at a very slow tempo and cross blindly. Very few teams are ambitious with the ball. I don't see a lot of diversity in attacks and counterattacks are poorly played. Teams I liked so far are Georgia, Switzerland, Austria, Spain and Italy. So far, the game quality is worse than the last Euro and World Cup. Players are tired, I guess this is the main reason for such a tendency.

To be fair, Hungarians invented relationism in 1950.

Pep Guardiola has revolutionised tactics which every coach are now using

DINIZ WAS FIRED! Unfortunally, he's relacionism is his only knowledge. Been the first doesn't mean be the best. I prefer Xabi's Leverkusen

I live in Canada but my roots are in England (my dad was born there). And although I've always cheered on the England team, I will never root for a team if any player has, at any point in their career, knelt down before a match starts. (And, thankfully, I'm not in the UK so I can freely state this without being subject to harassment by your UK's Gestapo Woke-DEI-CRT-Trans police force.) Nor will I ever root for them again until every single player that did kneel, and every single coach that inspired this reckless behaviour, is no longer either playing / coaching that team. In fact, I will actively cheer on any team that they play. Sports is not a place for politics or cultural debates. Any player or coach who participates or incites this should be banned for life from that sport.

Spain is winning for me

Why relationism tho? just because of Ancelotti with the best players in the world, of course any tactic would work with that. Ancelotti practically failed at everton with these tactics, a proper system is best like Xabi, Pep, Arteta, Enrique. More entertaining and provides more opportunities.

I want YOU as England manager

Phil Foden is solely responsible for the increased long range shot attempts of the entire Euro. That's his only play.

Everybody is saying how good Germany is but I think they’re overrated. They beat a pretty bad Scottish team which played with 10 guys for half the game. Hungary isn’t a great team either. When they played Switzerland which provided decent opposition Germany almost lost. I think they’ll get beat by the first decent team they encounter.

Not really dominating are they portugal just lost to georgia and germany were lucky to draw against switzerland

European football getting less entertaining. Copa America more entertaining.

IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO boring to watch!!!!!!
