nearly there. a 4000 word commentary on fabian hürzeler's game model. — everything, everywhere, all at once. — multi-rhythmic football. — bulletproof press? not quite. — …beating brighton! he's taught me more than any other coach. & i don't think he's done yet — link below!

harry kane’s ballon d’or win & lewis hamilton’s win at barcelona have been the two best sporting moments of the year for me. english excellence — their inspiration knows no bounds.

🚨 Virgil van Dijk on Liverpool’s approach against Brighton: “The message from the manager today was to go a bit more direct. Maybe it doesn’t look like the most beautiful way of playing football, but in my opinion, you get a lot of joy against them with that. “That’s what we showed, especially in the first half an hour. The idea today was to bypass the press. That’s what we did.” 🔴

This passage of play amplifies many of the current issues at united. The lack of empathy, connection and the increased tempo/weight on passing showcase a complete disconnection amongst the players before any fitness issue is to be raised. The weight and importance of 2 touch passing compliments dynamism. PSG often play with a flow around 2 touch passing which also triggers movement from surrounding teams on the first touch. This completely merges the dyamic-positional model. Here united are firing the passes into players with already questionable first touches ('interiors' that cannot be proficient in central areas due to '343 system' tailored recruitment), and this will be passed of as them being ‘aggressive, on the front foot or up for it’ - it is a technical issue cover up. True lack of natures on a technical level cannot be disguised at this level, which now plays on psych aspects - ‘going through the motions’.

…the channel or down the flank are far greater. probably a more reliable counter-presser, angles of approach when duelling are fantastic and uses his body brilliantly in the duel. elliot is a busy and effective OOP playa, mateus is an intelligent, busy and highly effective one

Replying to @nikstorey_
personally believe mateus’ OOP is superior to anderson’s. anderson is more of an empathic dueller, likes a big challenge to rile the crowd up and imposes himself well. pitch personality, mateus’ proactive start positions, ability to cover ground to intercept or chase in…
