10 - Lamine Yamal

[wisconsincule]

Off the ball movement is surely needed.

But even then, there are 100s of small tactical battles on the field.
For example, here we are talking about pressing as if the only options are good press or bad press.

But regarding pressing, there are 10s of small tactical duels by coaches like:
-- will you press with 2, 3, 5 players on the backline?
-- will you indirectly force RB to move to the line or to the inside (when trying to escape the press)
-- which midfielders will you heavily mark in order to prevent them to get the ball from defenders?

Coaches add slightly different pressing and avoiding-press tricks in almost every game.

So, sometimes it isn't about: they pressed with more passion or Rashford was bad off the ball.

Sometimes it is about: Lucho had 2 tricks in pressing which Flick hasn't seen yet.
He has surprised us.
And Flick will fix it before the next game vs Psg, unless if Lucho pulls another new little trick.

There are hundreds of different variations of pressing and getting the ball out of the back.
Sometimes even the perfect off the ball movement doesn't help if the opponent is two steps infront of you with some new intelligent movement/pressing/covering trick.

Football tactics evolve on the weekly basis.

How are you feeling about our current team? You have to be excited that we are ascending?

Funny thing is that the most intelligent pressing player I have ever seen is 2009-2011 Messi. He knew exactly when and where to press while conserving his energy for when he gets the ball. Very strategic, very smart.

 

[serghei]

Which makes me think that Messi's pressing instructions were unique and complex. On one hand, he had the perfect attributes for a presser. Fast as hell, low center of gravity, robust on his feet, not to mention the quality to make the most out of what happens next after he intercepts the ball. On the other hand, the resources of a player, the physical capabilities (and also the mental ones, since the more you press, the more you are likely to fail, the more discouraged you get) are limited, you can't ask him to press a lot.

Which is why most likely his pressing was limited to most damage with least energy consumptions approach, trusting him a lot to know when and how much to do it. Press when likely to get something, not a scattergun approach, but very strategic and targeted.

If you probably look at offensive stats only, 2011 season is not his best. In terms of his integration in the team's overall framework while still allowing individuality, it is the most complete.

1000€ for anal?

At least we can stop with the "at least the mother side of his family is normal".

To be fair, a cocktail and a 3 course menu for 150 euros (+ DJ music) doesn't sound that bad. It's still in the ripoff territory and I'd never visit this event but there are worse ways to spend your money.

But what's the point of this event?

Looks like it was denied just yesterday. Apparently, this is an event-organizing company that contacted an acquaintance of Lamine's mother to be her guest at the dinner. All this, according to Benjamin Zarandona for El Larguero de Cadena SER, who was the same person contacted to speak with Lamine's mother. In no case was this organized by her.

Infact, It is fabulous value if the DJ is @Barcaman .
