Best channel for an ex player and new coach for someone like me. Your teaching style is simple even with the most complicated tactics. Referring to your other technical and theoretical videos. Thank you
I love the 4-4-2 Diamond variation. The thing that I really like about it is that having two players in the middle of the field allows for faster movement to one side or the other. I like using defenders on one side to run the ball up the field with the other players on that side and defenders and a midfielder on the other side can stay back on defense. One of the drawbacks to the straight line 4-4-2 is midfielders get overworked. The diamond in conjunction with using defenders on one side while the other side gets more of a breather solves that problem. I coach youth in the USA, and the reality with these kids is that they spend too much time sitting down with their head in a phone, so fitness and endurance is an issue.
I think that the 3-4-2-1 is hard to press on a 442 diamond. I personally match it as I want dominance on midfield. If you press high with outside backs, you are exposed with runs in behind form two 10’s on a 3-4-2-1.
Looking to go to 442 diamond. Team is struggling in first 10 minutes of the game. Hoping this will help control the middle. Any ideas on how to get ac Team going right from the start?
Hi Coach, We have a 442 diamond webinar that may be of interest to you: www.modernsoccercoach.com/product-page/live-webinar-coaching-the-diamond-4-4-2-with-tactical-flexibility
Because central spaces are more valuable to the opponent than wide spaces. Against good opponents, they can match or even overload that diamond with forwards dropping in or full-backs inverted. Once you are matched 4v4 the conditions change and that's difficult to communicate to your team in the moment.
@@modernsoccercoachHello, I liked your video very much. Just wanted to ask to questions if you have time please answer me. 1. Is it better for attackers to stay between full beck and Central defender in the opening of attack, to avoid that pass and attack CB from that side? 2. If the opponent play with 2 defending midfielders which player takes that second midfielder? Thank you!
Hi, I'm a big fan of your content. But, if it's not too much trouble, you could put subtitles in Portuguese so that Brazilians can better understand your content. Congratulations on the job.
Not comfortable with giving teams that much space wide, players in the middle tend to get dragged out and spaces open up in the final third especially when the first phase of the press is beaten

Can you show on the board how you can press a team who is playing a 3421 soccer formation . Thanks

Great information. Your information help me
Love to have that tactical board ❤
Interesting video Champ!!. Gives the closest analysis of How #MamelodiSundowns from South Africa also applies some of these pressing variations 👌

Why you no force the opponents to the middle with the superiority in the middle of the park

Thank you for the kind words. Sorry! I cannot do the subtitles at this moment - maybe in the future
