The game of football is a game with a specified purpose, laws and means. Two teams are facing off against each other with the objective of scoring a goal utilizing the ball. These rules are the same all around the globe. Similarly, the principles following these laws of the game will be the same – as will be the purpose of training. Football is a game that is trained and therefore coached, with most coaches focusing on doing so within their specific interpretation of these principles, for attacking, defending and the transition in both directions between these two.

As we move forward through the years football continues to
evolve. The developments are not often massive evolutions such as Sacchi’s
zonal congestion from the 80s or Michels’ and Cruyff’s total football from the
70s, but most frequently minor positional or role adjustments within the
different phases of the game. Every goal scored for your team and every goal
conceded that is prevented for your team has high value – and as analytics
continue to grow within our sport, we are seeing its impact on football’s phases
little by little.

Set-pieces are both under- and overrated in several ways. Some coaches & teams tend to overvalue them, focusing on them too much, whilst there are probably significantly more cases, where they don’t even work on this aspect of the game with their teams. Although there are more interests, articles towards the set-pieces, that show the increasing importance and complexity of a well-executed routine and strategy.

On December 2nd, 2018, Holstein Kiel travelled to MSV
Duisburg and convincingly won 4-0. Last season, under the command of Tim Walter
(now the coach of VfB Stuttgart), Kiel gained popularity as a high-pressing,
possession-hungry side, using a variety of unique actions and structures not used
by other teams. Kiel were identified as promotion candidates, but inconsistency
lead to a 6th place finish. Amid this inconsistency though, were
games where their approach couldn’t have been much better, with their win
against Duisburg perhaps being the best example.

I explain the reason for Guardiola moving Messi into the center of the field and how he consistently used players to free up spaces in the center for Messi and Iniesta to receive the ball and create dangerous attacks from. I also explain a bit why he moved away from this approach at Bayern and at City.
