100% agree with the point about warrior mentality. The difference in Caicedo, Trev and cucu since they’ve gained a bit of confidence has been incredible and they look like new signings. Hopefully we keep Trev next season as I think he’s developing into a brilliant cb who can play rb, and would suit playing alongside Colwill. Agree with Caicedo looking a bit like kante did too in that midfield role, I like how he is willing to drop to the right of the back 3 to allow one full back to invert whilst the other pushes high too. Regardless of Gallaghers occasionally poor decision making and ball playing abilities, for me his work off the ball in the counter press and orchestrating the teams press is essential and I think a key reason to why chelsea have such a low PPDA. I’ve also been impressed with Noni. His tracking back and sometimes in a wing back position of a back 5 in a low block has to me proved his determination to work hard. I think sometimes he’s a bit selfish and his final pass needs to be an area of development but he’s certainly shown growth already this season and looks more mature. I almost like seeing him get annoyed when he’s subbed off, i just didn’t like the fight with Jackson for the penalty a few weeks ago. The only thing I partly disagree on is the box midfield. I’m not denying it wasn’t there but I don’t think it was as essential before as it is now. I think sometimes it became a box midfield when palmer drifted into the number 10 role but that was purely because of the free roam he had, as sometimes he would stay wide with the attacking full back, other times he would drop to rcm to pick the ball up etc whereas now it’s much more structured and used purposefully imo. But also like I mentioned in the video against spurs, I liked seeing palmer and noni both playing as wingers and overloading that side, but I know with gusto that would change.

If we’re playing with a DLP then yes it has to be Enzo I agree, but I’m scared that Poch will then move Gallagher to the number 10 and palmer on the right and i don’t personally believe that’s a good trade off. I also think against low block oppositions Gallagher should play because of his high intensity work rate and pressing. Obviously Enzo is one of the best midfielders in the world I agree with that, and he’s our best asset for controlling the game but I don’t love the position he would have to play in the 4231. I think he’s better suited to a 442 or a 433 style of football imo 🤷‍♂️

Hahaha I wouldn’t be wrong if i did 😅😂

Yeah I was a bit harsh saying he wasn’t tbf but I was thinking more about the fact that we can’t rely on his long balls constantly for transition and that he’s leaving so there would be no ball playing centre backs once he’s gone either. But I do agree with you, and thanks for feedback 🙏🙏

🙏🙏

100% agree, I think his potential is high, he just needs to learn the game more. His dribbling is great but his overall link up and timing of his runs etc needs to be improved. For me either a mid table prem side would be great, or if not then a German side because of the pace they play at over there

Yeah I know I probably should I just wanted to get the video up quickly so I didn’t have time but I’ll take that on board for next time 🙏👍

Thanks so much, I really appreciate that 🙏😊

Cheers bro I appreciate that, yeah I think I’ve learnt from a few comments that I got a bit caught up in that offside controversy. I filmed this video about 5 minutes after that incident so it was still the main thing in my mind at the time but I got a bit carried away lol 😅 Thanks for the feedback, score prediction for the final? 🙏

I get that but the ref blew the whistle which then means the following play can’t be VAR checked, if they let the play continue like they should have then they can determine whether the goal was offside or not after, maybe the defenders would’ve blocked the shot I know but based on what actually happened, I think the offside call was wrong personally or at least should’ve been checked. The referee has also since apologised saying it was the wrong call too 🤷‍♂️

Agreed. You can’t say if the ref didn’t blow his whistle. It’s a goal if it goes to var. the sequence of events that occurred due to ref blowing his whistle is that the Real players stopped playing. There’s so much uncertainty surrounding this wether or not a goal is scored if the ref didn’t blow his whistle. People acting like it’s 100% a goal when it’s not. The only thing that is certain was the ref and the linesman made a mistake. This was a good video analysis until he said “it’s a goal if it goes to var”

​@@tecnicaaa Yeah. This is the flaw with his analysis. He is assuming Bayern scores. He is arguing as if its a certain goal. Same mistake as most of what these analysts make.

I get what your saying, if the ref hadn’t blown his whistle and let play on, the defenders would’ve carried on and potentially blocked the shot etc so there would’ve been no goal and I totally agree with that. My point was more the fact that the referee shouldn’t have have blown his whistle so early because the phase of play wasn’t clearly offside so Bayern should’ve at least got to finish their attack before the play is stopped. Maybe they still score, maybe they don’t, it’s still a mistake by the referees that harmed Bayern…😅

@@cameronschultz2219 I think you should have said that in your video then instead of "if this goes to VAR its a goal". I really enjoyed the video until that bit. I think people lose credibility if they make statements like that which are not true at all. But anyway, I'm not here to spread hate comments on your video, as I did like 99% of it.

Haha sorry I was trying to sound cultured 😅, I just assumed that was the Spanish pronunciation but thanks for the feedback I’ll make sure to say Joselu next time 🙏

@@cameronschultz2219 stop trying to please everyone. "Hoselu" is the correct pronunciation idk what this guy is on about lmao

Pahahah I assumed it would be pronounced Hoselu based on my year 9 Spanish lessons lmao so I’ll stick to that I reckon 😂

@@cameronschultz2219 Joselu is German?

@@RobinVesper he was born in Stuttgart I believe but isn’t he registered as a Spanish player and grew up in Spain to Spanish parents?

Cheers bro I appreciate that 🙏

Oh my god I hadn’t noticed that thank you! 😅🙏

Do you concede a lot of goals on the counter because from what I could see you press very high but it leaves all sorts of space in behind the fullbacks that the opposition could exploit? 😅

Granted I only watched some highlights of their games this season, but from what I could see is they build in a 2-4 base and in attacking transition they’re either a 3-2-5 or a 2-3-5 depending on the players, often meaning Davis can become a left winger and Chaplin can take either a second striker role or drift into the half space? I haven’t watched all of their games tbf but I’m curious how you would say they defend, build up and attack? 🤓😅

Haha I was so worried I was saying completely wrong, thanks for letting me know! 😅🙏

I saw this after I’d made the video lol but he seemed happy 😂

Yeah I think he'll go to the next level in this set up 📈

Yeah in hindsight I should've suggested someone else, but I wanted to make the video based on the current squad. Personally i think someone like Frenkie De Jong would be the perfect option in terms of this system but someone also like Koopmeiners from Atalanta could be a great fit too, can play the ball forward but adds some defensive stability in the midfield 📈

Fair enough! I did mention the same thing in that I was worried about them 2 as a double pivot but I don’t think endo is the right man either personally so I went for the closest profiles to what there is at Feyenoord at the moment. I think Gakpo is better than he’s shown at liverpool but I agree in that he would have to earn his spot. Who would you start/sign over robbo?

Didn’t he do this with Casaido at Brighton?

How do you mean?

@@cameronschultz2219 Calafiori. Although seems he’s off to Juventus with Motta. Gvardiol is the dream option but that would take City to get charged n relegated lol. If possible a similar profile to a Gvardiol. A Geertruida/White profile on the left i’m looking atm Calafiori seemed the best option. My window would be Calafiori Colwill Varela Kudus. Pacho seems to be who we like but not sure on him in a back 4

I think that’s a good window tbf if you could, as a chelsea fan I’d rather you don’t take Colwill tho lol. I think Lukeba, Hincapié or Bastoni were my random shouts that i think could be good but Calafiori actually looks like he would work very well too, better than pacho. I assume you mean Varela the Porto dm, not the Flamengo rb?

Haha well said 😅😂

Cheers mate, I appreciate it ☺️

Don’t get me wrong I hate Man City so I’m glad Madrid won, I just don’t think Madrid were at their best, otherwise I think they could’ve won 2-1 or 3-1 on the night. They only had 33% possession, half of Man City’s xG and sat in a low block for a fair amount of the game. I respect your opinion tho and appreciate the feedback and I’ve changed the title… 😅😅

Im not saying Madrid were bad but I don’t think they were at their best. They had 33% possession, almost half City’s xG, and only 8 shots to city’s 33. I don’t like Man City and I like Madrid, so I’m glad they won but just personally I didn’t think they were at their best is all. 😅 I respect your opinion tho and thanks for the feedback ☺️

Yeah that’s fair, unless they try something stupid I think it should be more credit to the keeper for saving it than for the taker for missing it 😅

Yeah it is a lil but isn’t that the point on analysis? Walker has been arguably the best rb in premier league history for a number of years now, and I know the game is fast paced but I think he has the ability to see that he’s not in line with the rest of the defence 😅😅

Yeah I see your point there tbf, and i completely agree someone like Silva is more than capable of putting the ball in a corner. My thought was in that situation you’re probably expecting Lunin to dive one side or another and so high and down the middle is then the safest option with the biggest margin for error 😅🤷‍♂️ I do fully see your point about Ronaldo and Rudiger Tbf tho

For how dominant they were, I agree tbf and it’s not like they didn’t have the opportunities either and it was near enough their strongest team 😅

I think what makes Ancelotti such a great manager is that the foundations of that team and the basics are so strong that even when they’re tactically maybe out smarter they can still cope despite the pressure. Interesting for Mendy motm but I see why, I think he deserves more credit for his defensive abilities 😅

Haha 😂 Same again in the second leg just they paid for it this time

@@cameronschultz2219 Pep is stubborn.

Stewart Robson "real madrid were set up to stop them passing through them." Vini awful but Diaz brilliant. Came on and gave energy. Held it up and provided options by breaking lines. I too though Modric was strong. Created about three chances and gave much needed control that Kroos eventually struggled to provided however Surprisingly Mendy was my MOTM . CARVAHAL played a tough game so credit but for me , once Madrid adjusted to cover the right , he ensured nothing came down his side and thus limited City to a more predictable attack. With it only coming in from the left, and with Silva being restricted to cutting un on a weak angle, Madrid could afford - and expect - go absorb pressure knowing it wasn't really dangerous.

Tactics and strategy Debated this ages ago and I can't remember the exact distinction. Loosely Tactics is what you do Strategy is how you do it In terms of post match comments "You can control a game defending weĺl" Thierry Henry Henry says their plan was to counter controlling the game using this. Micah Richards says Haaland had few chances over both legs which was the Madrid plan.

I think it would be interesting to see who Amorim would choose there, Diaz is more like Goncalves at sporting but Szoboszlai has to fit into the team somewhere 😅

Thank you for the insight that was interesting to read from a Madrid fans perspective. I completely agree with you and De Bruyne is going to be crucial in a game like that for Man City. I think a 4222 would be a good choice, but would you go for Valverde on the right of the 2 defensive mids and Bellingham as the right attacking mid so it can defend in a 442 or would that just lead to similar problems like In the first leg? And what’s your score prediction because I think I’ve heard more people lean towards a Madrid win? 😅😀

​@@cameronschultz2219 Honestly, I think Ancelotti’s setup was excellent. Problem is, he sometimes asks players to play in areas they aren’t comfortable playing in. We get it right sometimes, but it also frequently goes wrong. Valverde playing as a CM in a 4-4-2 position defensively is his natural position, and he and Camavinga have the fitness to keep up with Man City’s dynamic midfield for the entire game even though they don’t have the awareness to read playing patterns like Tchouameni. Kroos doesn’t have the fitness to keep up with the position, and he will start to leak chances in the second half again, like the first leg and last season. I think Rodrygo should be in the right and Vini on the left, and Bellingham and Kroos should be ahead of the four midfielders. At least this way, once we regain possession we can keep it, because if you remember in the first leg second half Pep had fixed his backline in a way we couldn’t counter attack. So I don’t think we’ll be able to counter attack easily in the second leg. We need to keep the ball when we win it back. And we won’t do so when we recover the ball with Rodrygo and Vini as the front 2 in the 4-4-2 defensive formation. We’ll just be clearing the ball back to City like what we did in the second half. Because I am biased I will go for a Real win 0-2, but it depends on Ancelotti because everyone knows how Pep will set up 🤣

@@utubeuser7314 Very close in the end but I bet you were pleased with the win, fair play to Lunin too

@@cameronschultz2219 We did it bro! We'll be far more ready for Bayern believe me.

Haha 🤫🤫😅😂

Cheers bro I appreciate that, I think the freedom Trent would get would elevate his game even more but like you say, it won’t come cheap but he could be a great investment if it pays off 😅

@@cameronschultz2219 Yes, i think he might be worth the effort.
