      It's a simple game. What makes it seem complex is the depth of its history. Because it's been going on for so long, coaches and players have thought up simple tactics which have been outdone by other simple, but slightly more complex tactics. Over the hundred-and-something years, things have been done and outdone so many times that it's difficult to digest it all. If you look at tactics throughout history, though, you will see that the same patterns appear again and again and are simply absorbed by, and combined with, other simple tactics. That's where the "complexity" is. What somebody like Pep or Alonso does is simple, but the genius is in knowing when to apply it and knowing how to get your players to implement it at the exact moment it's needed.
      I've done this on a lower level. Coached teenage boys to an invincible season and many of them are now at pro academies. It's all the same fundamentals. Obviously, there's far more pressure at the top, though.

    • @lonewolfalpha8398
      @lonewolfalpha8398 3 месяца назад +36

      @@hitthurdeaux It all depends on the general level of your players firstly, I'd say. What sort of skill level are we talking?
      The lads I coached were generally technically very good, so we would work on fitness (circuits--especially in preseason/early season and after Christmas break), teamwork (small-sided games with caveats; and this also brings on the technical side), and tactical (coaching specific scenarios like attacking on the break, or defending when the attackers have an overload, and getting the players to embed the actions into their subconscious minds), and I liked to take care of the psychological side (which I think is most important when there's very little you can teach them from a technical POV).
      If you're coaching at the top of your respective level, the mental coaching makes the most difference and is the hardest to coach: managing emotions, ambitions, disappointment, being rejected, dealing with injury, keeping calm under pressure, dealing with aggressive opponents without retaliating, staying professional, training hard, noticing tiny details on and off the pitch, balancing home and football life... that sort of thing.
      If it's lower level, I would concentrate mostly on technical basics and teamwork, and work on mastering a single simple tactic to solidify the autonomy in the players, then go from there once they're all comfortable with how it works. Add a little to it gradually.
      Example: play a 4-4-2 and get everyone comfortable with their roles within it over the course of months (make sure the strikers work together and the defence and midfield move as units in defence), then start training one full-back to overlap and the midfielder in front of him to tuck in and anticipate it, or maybe coach the bigger, stronger forward to drop deeper to use his physique to hold up the ball and play in an overlapping midfielder. Stuff like that.
      That's a very brief summary, but I think you can get the idea there.

    Tactical awareness is what really wins you big games when your team ain’t filled with super stars.
    Look at the 2022 World Cup final, remember when Mbappe had like 3 touches for the first 78 minutes?
    If you don’t have best of the bets in every position you have to play as one, cutting out passes from ever reaching the best players on the other team.
    I’m hoping for Bayern to finally lose the league, can’t be a serious league if a team dominates for 10 years straight.

      Key phrase being "if the ball is pressed properly". It's virtually the same problem Man Utd have had for years now, only this time I think it's definitely down to players, because Ten Hag's tactics have worked in the past.

      I think it has to be executed in both aspects. As well as have a back up incase u lose the press. Man utd has often relied on each person winning the one on one battles and thus if one fails, the whole system is broken down

      It is going wrong at Bayern and if you haven't noticed, Leverkusen and Alonso have been getting huge recognition all year. For all of Kane's superb start to life at Munich and some individual brilliance, the team have shown weaknesses and a lack of direction many times this year. It's obvious to almost everyone that Tuchel is not doing well. He won the league last year simply because Dortmund choked and his fascination with Premier League players who are worse than what he already has shows just how poor he is.
