The best football being played in Europe right now?
In just a few months Wolfsburg have created a style of play that ticks a lot of boxes
• Dynamic build up movements / rotations
• Diagonal progressions + Escadinha structures
• spontaneous Overloads/ Clusters centrally

Tactical Analysis - WOLFSBURG
A video analysis on the excellent football currently being played by Thobias Strobl ‘s side in the 2.Bundesliga
One of the best up and coming coaches in the German game using a fluid and dynamic attacking game
A thread 🔓
Final 3rd structure
Notice how they’re constantly reorganizing with each pass
They’re using the diagonal lines within the structure as a reference to which they rotate and make beyond and beneath runs
Good use of the yo-yo to sustain in the possession on the right
Great to see Elversberg doing well in the Bundesliga this season!
Was a big fan of their attacking play in the 2.Bundesliga last season so it’s great to see their identity has remained intact
Germany is proving to be quite a hotbed for associative football!
Approximation play with Hansi Flick
Any team can benefit from this type of spontaneity - cues to interact through the diagonal attack
Football is rapidly becoming about tight distances not optimal distances
Those who thrive in the small space effect the biggest pictures
As a long time critique of the positional game, I have to admit when the idea is executed well the level of football is untouchable
Roberto De Zerbi’s Tottenham Hotspur everyone 🙌🏻
