Xavier was appointed as vol coach back
in September 2017 after a terrible for
nil defeat at the hands of katha Fay by
former boss Fran Escriva it marked an
important changing of the guard at
lacera Mika given that escriba had
pragmatically spent his time at the helm
trying to extend the Marcelino era and
squeeze the last drops of success of his
personnel and system throughout both the
Marcelino and Escriva eras virial would
utilize a 4-4-2 religiously but the
appointment of Chaya has ushered in a
breath of fresh air
nowadays the Yellow Submarine utilized a
431 - with such a formation enabling Kai
air to use some of his more talented
personnel in more convincing positions
since his promotion from within the club
- manager very al have been well
balanced generally getting the balance
right between being defensively
responsible and also creating chances on
the counter-attack under Marcelino via
reals fullbacks work II Mario Gaspar and
humor Costa would offer the main width
in the side with his wide midfielders
jinking in field to try and create
problems while roaming in some ways the
job of Kas fullbacks hasn't really
changed they are asked to provide the
main width stretching the opposition and
allowing for the likes of rotary
monetary eros samu Castillejo and pablo
Fornells
to be kept compact in the central
midfield area to have the means to play
around opponents even if they are not as
important in terms of transition and
creativity mario & hué mais deployment
stretches opponents in such a way that
it opens up more important spaces
elsewhere on the field if left
unattended
neither fullback is afraid to drive
forwards themselves either with Mario
definitely not hesitant when getting
into the final third veteran central
midfielder and captain Bruno has been
sidelined for a long while due to injury
but his young deputy has stepped in to
the void brilliantly this campaign and
earned himself two new contracts to bump
up his release clause Rodri is vital to
the system functioning correctly as his
willingness to drop deep and collect
possession before circulating the ball
or driving into the midfield third
carrying it opens the game up and how
the area to get forward without his
confidence and composure and receiving
the ball from the back for it could
disjoint this system and force them to
play longer a little more often than I
would like
given that the likes of manager Ellis
who can also drop deep to collect and
Samuel Castillejo are very gifted with
the ball at their feet in central
midfield to a reliable transition from
the defense into the midfield third is
vital as creating an overload centrally
is key to this after being purchased for
a bargain price in the summer from
Malaga Pavlov Fornells
was looking like one of the deals of the
season used centrally last campaign in a
struggling side the young Spaniard
starred but his deployment on the wings
of a 4-4-2 under screamer saw him pushed
to the periphery under Kai air this
couldn't be more different their new for
three one two system something of a
4-4-2 diamond places for nails at the
heart of this in an encounter a row
linking the midfield and the attack
together by using this diamond Caius men
are trying to overload the middle of the
field and ensure that they can find four
nails in space often they should be able
to stretch opponents and give four nails
either space or 1v1 situations that he
is capable of winning he has the freedom
to drop into free pockets and use his
own intuition in between the lines with
the system geared towards him after
being misused by ask RIBA he looks to be
reborn again as the main creative
protagonists with his confidence and
technical ability making him the key man
in terms of feeding both Carlos Becker
and Cedric Mocambo in behind a
retreating opposition defensive line but
kambou is seen as more of the
one-dimensional goalscorer in this very
outside with the Congolese striker the
man to often be released in behind to
use his considerable acceleration and
killer edge gradually over recent months
Carlos Becker has looked sharper and
sharper since shaking off his Milan
demons and he offers a mobility that can
also be matched by the likes of Nicolas
and song and Danny rubber while they
offer the energy as slightly more of a
secondary striker for kambou can
concentrate on the last man and playing
off either theirs or for nails service
Becker has shown that he has grown since
his last spell in Spain at Sevilla - no
longer is he just a pure goalscorer
but he can show feet or chest and play
with his back to go
quite neatly leaving two up top means
that the opposition have to keep at
least a unit of three back and this is
conductive to overloads in via rails
favor elsewhere people often ask us
where we get our stats for these videos
a great place to start is the one
football app the app offers a fairly
comprehensive statistical coverage of
teams and players in game and post match
