Could Thiago Motta be successful at a top club? - / collections...
Thiago Motta has quickly become one of the most interesting coaches in Europe. And with Bologna massively over-performing in Serie A, it's a perfect time to explore their unique brand of football.
Motta has described Bologna's style as a 'mix of positional and relational' football. But is it really? And could Motta be a candidate to take over at one of the elite teams? Let's find out!

Analysis of Bologna out of possession :)
ruclips.net/video/M9yJHWydu2Y/видео.html
Excellent work
what software do you use for the graphics?
I'd like to see the video of Bologna out of possession!
I think it's just normal movement, nothing new or complex
Yesssss
They do it in the same way as in possession: free movement of pressing with replacement of each player. Give a match of theirs a watch because it's genius really and adds a whole new value of pressure, with it being so unpredictable for the opponents in possession.
@@arsenalogist4285right but they better not lose the ball when doing this so what do they do immediately after losing the ball after the CB drives all the way down the field etc
@@peterhulse7239fullbacks and DMF move on CB. They're stay on the back
Peoples talk much about the Premier League, La Liga and even Bundesliga and me like a fan of football obviously love all of them, but I really believe that Serie A deserves more attention in the last years, we always have some interesting teams to watch. A few years ago we had Napoli of Sarri, then Atalanta of Gasperini in his prime, Sassuolo of De Zerbi, Lazio of Inzaghi with a nice team, Inter with Conte, Milan with a great season with Pioli winning a tittle after many years, and recently Roma's Mourinho that was not exactly beautiful but with the "passional football" only just Special One can give us, amazing Napoli of Spaletti, Bologna of Thiago Motta and of course Inter of Inzaghi.
Watch Serie A guys, is very fun 🇮🇹
Serie A is very boring to watch. Too many draws and 0-1 score lines.
You can't just waste 1.5 hours of your precious time that way. I'd rather watch Bundesliga matches.
Don't forget Vincenzo Italiano's Fiorentina. They play some incredible football.
@@obinnaifem8181bundesliga is the boring league. All the teams play a ridiculous my high line and whoever gets in behind the most win the matches. Feels like a FIFA match really. But each to their own I guess..
I see your point but lemme ask you a question: if you love chess and you are intrigued by its tactic, do you prefer to see a well played chess match, with mind battles and strategies, or just two people that move their pawns on the chessboard? The dumbest league is Premier League where players move with no cognition, running back and forward continuously causing stupid counterattacks. It's like see kids playing football. @@obinnaifem8181
@@kevtrot6731how is that boring? Goals galore, transition football, high turnovers, wingbacks, number 10s (remember those??). A great showcase of sport
Positional football killed my confidence as a young player. I was shunted to right-back and in games where I felt we were totally dominant, I would attack like a striker and score bags of goals only to be yelled at by the coach. I like Motta's philosophy. Trust that all your players are fine footballers and let them express themselves within a tactical structure.
Nagelsman, Xabi, Arteta, and Motta. Hopefully they continue to grow and make football interesting again. Sometimes i wish all of them could face off again Klopp and Pep. Older generation coach vs new one. Especially Xabi and Nagelsmann.
Nagelsmann is overrated.. as much as Tuchel and Pochtinho.. just hype media managers.. To be fair Nagelsmann could prove me wrong but he needs a real challenge.
@@zorashkiclueless, go read about what he did with hoffenheim at 30/31 since you clearly think he ‘hasn’t had a challenge’
Ruben Amorim
Would've loved him to stay at Barça a bit longer than he did. Funny how all these former Barça players have interesting interpretations of football. Pep, Arterta, Xavi, Motta, Rafa Marquez... can't wait till Busquests is a coach you definitely see something.
Purist, I've been loving this deep look at coaches that you're doing
If I could suggest another name to put on your list, it would be Sebastian Hoeneß and his Stuttgart side, looks like a very interesting team from a tactical point of view and I'm excited to see them at Champions League next year and to see the development of Hoeneß as a coach
I’ll check them out 🫡
yeah, you should. watched them last weekend... I was so impressed.@@thepurist_
can do you prime Filippo Inzaghi player analysis@@thepurist_
oh yes!
can do you prime Filippo Inzaghi player analysis plz@@thepurist_
please do make a vid on them out of possession, and I love your vids, keep em coming!
Scaloni does something similar in Argentina. He said in some interviews that the main thing about his team are the player roles and not the positions.
Scaloni puso a 10 número 10 a jugar + el dibu. Ojala se vuelva tendencia, que aburrido se ha vuelto el fútbol ultra medido sin el 10.
It feels a lot like Total Football of the 70s and 80s by Rinus Michels and Cruyff
It’s call functional play
wow even Thiago Motta is a coach now? Feels so old
lol. That’s what I first thought too
He's a coach for a long time now he even managed Genoa
Well thiago isn't old.. he is a coach but young coach so... he turned 41 so take 2 years from him he is 39 so.. he is young.
I have been watching Barcelona for more then 20 yr now, this is how they use to play with passing and movement. Denial alves and messi was so good doing this on the right wing. His such a Barcelona coach but laporta would not go for him now.
He's too young.
He needs to get more experience
He is 4 years older and has way more experience than Guardiola had when he took over Barca.@@saikhzikrullah2628
I can’t express enough how excited I get every time you upload; this is definitely my absolute favorite channel on YT at the moment. Would’ve loved more frequent uploads but if it affects the quality of your videos, I’d prefer to stick to this current model.
Love to hear it :) I upload as frequently as possible given the time to research, write and edit. But I hear you. Long-term my goal is to release more content.

Late comment that’s probably never going to see the light of day, but I would very much like to see your take on Xabi Alonso as well? This has little to do with Barca’s managerial candidates and more to do with curiosity.
This guy could take Barcelona to another level if they can get him the proper pivot, pedri can be an upgrade from zirkzee as a deep lying playmaker who is the central node of possession, barcas center backs are also very good on the ball and can make runs forward
This is similar to my type of philosophy that i had been thinking in my mind when i start coaching
Sounds like pure Cruyff philosophy to me . The positions should not be locked, they should be fluid and interchangeable keeping the passing angles constant.
Rinus Michels philosophy
Best video on Bologna so far. Excellent work mate.
What happened to the regular barca tactical analysis?? I used to eagerly wait for the video after big matches😢
Great watch & listen, thanks.
👍
This man is seriously underrated 🐐🔥
Love these longer-form videos on the less discussed coaches- so much of the tactical knowledge out there revolves around the Prem so always good to hear about the under appreciated geniuses.
P.S. I think that guy wants you to break down prime Inzaghi
Would be super interested in seeing another video on Bologna's off the ball tactics please do make that video 🙏
I had seen some glimpses of Bologna this and last season but this video does make me excited for this style of play. Combining the ridgid philosopy of pep but allowing players to interpretate space and keeping it together with some roles like Zirkzee and Ferguson
Interesting style of play Motta has. Also love Zirkzee’s ability to play in such tight spaces, controls the ball amazingly
One of my favorite players of his to watch is Jhon Lucumí. Left footed CB who plays on the right side and constantly moves into the midfield. Seems to grow each game with Motta
And I’m now seeing that he has been highlighted in the video:)
Also Calafiori is top top top🔝
A video about Leverkusen would be interesting
Great analysis as always.
Love the content. Off this I'd love to see Motta at Barcelona as I feel the way players are brought through La Masia would benefit from the freedom Motta's style provides.
I said it this on lots of facebook pages I mentioned Motta, Valverde, De Zerbi, Alonso, Michel they are class ❤
Smart work plus the zeal to help others, nothing heats that🎉🎉🎉
Good stuff mate!
excellent break down. got my sub
Love the video! I would suggest a video on Ruben Amorim Sporting CP
You produce the best footbal content on whole youtube
Enjoyed this video on a very good side
Another very exciting upcoming Coach is Farioli, worth a look into as well.
Great video. Try Arne Slot next time. He's been fabulous across teams now for consistently since 2019
Yes please cover his defensive tactics! 🙏
He's done a great job.
so far their biggest weak point has been how slowly they are able to develop if an opponent parks the bus.
since they are focused on try to create and exploit spaces, and they only really accelerate when those are there, if the passing lanes are clogged, they really have no other plan that switch it back and try again in another zone.
this being said, that's hardly an issue only they have, and of course if this system was used on teams with an higher level of players (no offense for bologna, but this video shows well why they are depending on zirkzee), they would be more able to create chances on tight spaces as well.
Glad to see Bologna doing so well. This system works when you have the right players, Motta tried it at Genoa and it failed miserably
Would love to see that Bologna out of possession analysis! Great content! 🙏🏾
The only problem with this system is that it can only work in a slow league. In italy players have time to look up and see where to pass next, in the EPL players need to be in the right positions for team mates to make instictive passes. Hense why Peps system works soo well.
I will say the first International team to use this Bologna system will supprise a lot of teams since Intrnatioanl is also slower paced.
Of course, he was in Barcelona.
Més que un Club ❤️💙
Positional freedom I think may sometimes lead to turnovers under high pressing team.
Thiago Motta is an excellent manager with his new approach to game is quite remarkable and easy to learn.
Please do a video about Liverpool 2.0. Its really interesting how Jurgen Klopp changed his midfield and it turned out to be great. Please give us more insight.
Great to see Thiago and Xabi emerging as great coaches, having a style of play very different from the positional bullshit
he is on his wat to coaching stoke city next season and i can't wait to see him shiny shiny at santiago lumpur
come on thiago neves 😍😍😍😍😍
deal almost done last night secretly with chelsea fc
yes please to another video on the out of possession faze
So it's like a motion offense in basketball? That was where my mind went to for a comparison.
In the middle and final thirds it has a lot of similarities to cycling in hockey (especially the half-board to behind net cycle).
Yes, for the out of possession video.
Also, in transition too please.
Would really like a deep dive on Ruben Amorim. Been hearing so much about him recently
you never did real madrid tactics ?
i saw carvajal as pivot against atleti in one scenario and i don't understand why
To beat the press, your players need to run with the ball, and create numerical overloads where the ball is. When more and more teams adopt this philosophy, pressing will become less effective, and teams will start defend with more low block zonal marking again. And the circle will be complete 😂
we need the video on the out of ball phase of bologna
Great video.
A question though. This development in football is maybe in danger of being ‘unplayable’? By that I mean you still have to communicate, educate and implement the tactic. Having a great idea but if your players can’t understand it or it’s too much to actually carry out? Footies players not always known for their brains!
I would like to see the video on tactical analysis of Dorival Jr for game against Emgland
The Mens England U21 Team play like this too
Sir I love your videos
next barcelona manager i hope 🙌🙌
I love the current serie a league, post juve domination has made the league so sk competitive. the quality of coaches is brilliant
Lewis Ferguson top of their FotMob ratings, and can certainly play at a higher level. To be made captain, as a foreigner, a new player, and a young player, is testimony to how highly rated Motta rates him.
Actually what Motta is doing is to get his players to "find" a new formation depending on how the opponent plays. This concept is not new as the generic purpose of total football is to have a team that can easily adapt to different positions on the pitch. However, total football was more specific on how players control possession in spaces and without spaces which required very intelligent players.
Motta's style touches on the idea of players playing in positions which brings the best out of their ability and also their team. Motta setups the team in a starting formation which allows the team to be compact in spaces. From there onwards, it is about how the players move based on their unique skillsets to counter the opponent. So in summary, Motta's team are trained to play different formations which they use depending on whether they are attacking or defending.
Mate, great content! You should consider making a video about CR7 and Bruno Fernandes' former club - SPROTING CP
Excellent
I'm very interested in Bologna's out of possession tactics.
This is partially how Leverkusen works this season. Just that they have really talented players who can play soo well through tight spaces so Leverkusen plays even more in the tight spaces... And Leverkusen's ability to do fast counters and
My coach 🤝🔥
An Italian club having a Scottish captain is special
Graeme Souness captained Sampdoria back in the 80s as well. Great leader.
Interesting to see former top class midfield players now applying there vision of how to use space as managers?? Motta at Bologna, Alonso at Leverkusen, Guardiola at Man. City!!!
Their match against inter last week really impressed me even though they lost.
Motta is incredibly experimental, but I suspect his innovations will serve others who come after, who will evaluate and ultimately perfect the thesis, more than Motta himself.
Really good analysis. I do prefer more positional play. I think the level of creative freedom should only be given to highly creative players.
can you do Filippo Inzaghi player analysis
I grew up in the late 90s and started watching football in the early 00’s and as fascinating as this is, this’s why we’ll never see A Gaucho, Zidane, Messi etc again, because managers want to be the stars now, and most players are being coached to fit a system rather than express their technical capabilities more often. Bar a few, most teams are known as just having a good style of play instead of the quality of their players. It’s the reason why bar, Vini, Rodrygo, Musiala, Foden and a few more, almost all the WC players today are WC just because they have great stats(G/A) ie Haaland, Mbappe, Mo Salah, De Bruyne…great output numbers but not particularly exceptional footballers.
analyse what thiago motta would bring to ac milan
Is it possible to see the trainning sessions for that kind of play?
Not that I'm trying to knock this style of play but we haven't seen this at a high enough level with world class players for it to be considered a good tactic. Movement and overloads have existed for a long time but totally disregarding structure will prove to yeild inconsistent results. How do you drill patterns of play?
that 2:18 Beukema movement😂
Tim Walter played exacly the same system for years at Hamburger SV
Can you do Sebastian Hoeneb next
Video on Ruben Amorim would be TOP.
Ten Hag used this against Liverpool last weekend with Fernandes and Anthony at the back
I can't imagine the amount of training it would take to get players used to this
i also thought lucumi was called lucimi
Yes please..
can do you prime Filippo Inzaghi player analysis
11:02 yes plz
you should do vicenzo Italiano. he seems very interesting.
Please do a video on Thiago Motta’s Bologna out of possession
can do Filippo Inzaghi player analysis
I would love to see him coach Marseille.
Does anyone have stats on how their style of play compares to positional approaches in stats like distance covered?
Famous 2-7-2! Kkkkk
Can you make a video about Valverde's Athletic Club 🦁?
Untouchable comme Verratti and Motta
The funny thing about his build up is did the thing with the GK at PSG u19
I'd say such approach is extremely hard to coach. Even at highest professional level, not many players can follow a non-positional structure. Try this with reckless players like Bruno & Rashford. 😅😅😅
I thought you would cover Tuchel in your german coach period. I'd really love to learn more about his tactics
Tuchel is 3-4-3 haram ball 1-0 win
vdo on leverkusen when?
This style looks like holland by 1974! Players switching positions. Ajax 2019 was also the same.
