6 Minutes De Zerbi’s Positional Play | Welcome to Barcelona?

[@kden8743]

This style of slow building from behind transitioning to a quick break in attack is not only crazy, it’s unpredictable and extremely effective. It’s the type of football Brighton will thrive playing.

[@therockbat]

It is pretty predictable because it was pre-meditated as "automatism" or "circuit" on the training ground, conveyed by unopposed practice 11 v 0. It's basically what Sarri and Conte do, but it looks like de Zerbi put more attention in maintaining the structure rather than providing the exact playbook like his two compatriots, so it looks like there are more variation in passing sequences.

I'm Italian, de Zerbi is a great coach .. who will have him .. will be lucky De Zerbi Good boy

[@chu2ks2dfutur]

Everything we are now seeing with Brighton. Amazing coach.

I'm addicted to De Zerbi. We as Juventus fans need him at the club.

I know De zerbi football since he was coaching Benevento and I was not surprised at the time that some Barcelona administration nominated him.... He will coach Barcelona in the next few years

[@amex1560]

I am very curious to see his football in Premier League, great coach, just we need to see how it will work in PL

[@dannydan8964]

He did it successfully

De Zerbi needs to find a club to manage fast af, i miss thiiiiis so baaad

[@RelationismInc]

Ikr, im searching his name on twitter every day in hope of some links, he will probably go to Monza if they keep losing which i think they will. Monza already has Marlon who is one of de zerbi's friends

[@DiogoGaming2]

@@RelationismInc Yeah same here! Monza has a good squad this year but i would prefer to see him in another club, i dont think the majority of the players in monza fit his game model has well has some other teams, i would like to see him in a bigger club in italy or in spain to play europe football too, but almost all of those clubs have decent coaches at least so its kinda hard to find a spot for now... Ajax would be nice too

[@RelationismInc]

@@DiogoGaming2 True, even Allegri could be sacked, but i dont see Juve going for him unfortunately..

[@DiogoGaming2]

@@RelationismInc Yeah but tbh i dont think Juve is the right place, in the past few years they have been a mess (I feel so bad for Sarri) but still, they have a good squad and some money. Maybe Sevilla will sack Lopetegui too and that would be a great fit in my opinion but people are saying Pochettino is the first choice, i like Poch but i would go for De Zerbi all day! heheheh

All these teams playing a low block against them. Literally parking the bus. Suppose you could interpret that as a compliment...

[@Profetorum]

Honestly it's satisfying to watch but those opponents give no pressure whatsoever, game is veery low paced compared to epl... he looks more of a coach for spanish league?!

This type of build up can not survive in the Premier league against aggressively pressing teams.

Not many teams will set back looking for counter attacks in England compared to Ukraine

[@lucifereldiablo7770]

Even better, now they press and he turns that into a counter attack too

[@philbutcher6959]

Not sure many Premier Teams will sit and watch you dawdle around in the centre circle like that - otherwise, at least it is attacking.

[@klc9628]

It causes the odd slip up but we (Brighton) have been playing this way under potter anyway and tend to dominate possession against most teams whilst maintaining a great defensive record.

[@philbutcher6959]

@@klc9628 But I think Brighton, up to now, have been patient in making spaces and looking at alternate routes forward, De Zerbis tactic looks nigh on recklessly daring the other team to press them in close and dangerous positions just to commit them - I think that will need a little adaption.

[@philbutcher6959]

@@klc9628 If you look at 45:00 seconds in, there is a formation of two teams you'll not see in the Premier League, for instance.

[@condimentofmassdestruction9114]

I hope De Zerbi don’t get sack at Brighthon. However knowing the English media, pundits, and fans they will not give him time in order to express his style of football. They’re is so impatient they want everything to be done quickly and immediately.

[@_username123_2]

Nah we will give him time. Potter went a massive streak without a win and when the media called him overhyped we stuck with him

[@BornFreeYT]

Brighton's philosophy is the opposite of most Premier League teams. Potter went through some really low points. Most managers would have been sacked. Brighton had a vision and even went as far as saying that if we got relegated we'd stick with Potter.

[@jaken6603]

Brighton already play similar football, they brought him in to continue to play in the same way

[@the5illbilly]

Brightons previous manager has a similar background to De Zerbi, plays similar football and Brighton gave him 3 years to implement his style of football which he has just moved to Chelsea with. Apart from all that, you're spot on.

[@guywakeford3259]

Brighton tend to be very patient, like their football. We've been through enough crap to know we're lucky to have De Zerbi.

[@ginetto7433]

Why doesn't Souness apologize to him? In September he insulted him, said he was inexperienced and worthless. But De Zerbi closed his mouth by beating Liverpool twice, a team Souness loves. Souness, start being a man, in Italy they welcomed you with love and admiration, you spat on an Italian worker in England, shame on you!!!
