Today's video is all an example video of how I study soccer games in order to improve at my position of right back. I take a professional soccer game at the highest level (Bundesliga, EPL, La Liga) and I just watch and learn from the player in my position.
In this video, I study Borussia Mochengladbach vs FC Bayern Munich and just watch Jantschke play. I study his movements, off ball patterns, passing decisions, defensive positioning to try to learn from him.
My hope for this video is to teach you how I learn, so that you can take these same skills and apply them to a different professional soccer match so you can learn from a different player who plays in your specific position. Let me know what you think!

This was actually one of the most interesting videos i've watched when it comes to educational football videos. I have been trying to analyze players when watching a game on TV but I always end up watching the game instead of studying the game. This will help me a lot i think, Thank you so much for making this video in particular!

[@Gold833]

Lol very true you can end watching instead of studying it was definitely one of the best if not the best videos about how to study football games

[@alekspituch2265]

love that analogy with the fish. 😂

[@avm15101990]

The turn by the RB when keeper has ball is really important, gives clear view of the field ahead as well as encourages keeper that could play it into space. Great spot!!!

Needed this! Always study my own games and other games to improve but it doesn't help too much unless you know what to focus on! Cheers Matt !

[@user-wh7uu5xq6w]

Ultimate Nova Creep hi mate. Apologies. I signed my first professional contact at 17 shortly after this. So it’s definitely not too late. Age 15 I was in my Sunday league sides “b” team and just a few years later i player football as my full time job. Unfortunately I missed half the season through injury and didn’t get offered an extension but has some trials in Spain and England afterwards and now playing at a semi pro level while also being a qualified academy coach and scout. Just honestly need to work hard. I as mentioned at only 15 I wasn’t even good enough for a Sunday leagues u16s team and just started waking up early to do extra training and eventually got an opportunity. Don’t even focus on becoming pro. Just focus on enjoying the process, working hard, professing up the levels and it will pay off

[@user-wh7uu5xq6w]

Owen Weston just by playing well consistently. There’s constantly scouts watching games at all levels so if you constantly play well build a good reputation in your league, eventually the news will get to someone with contacts or a scout or coach you’ll have a look at you. So just work hard. Build a reputation for yourself within your league and play well consistently until you get picked up

[@user-wh7uu5xq6w]

Hey Matt can you talk about Balancing school with soccer and talk about how you approached it

[@supremepassion17]

*Love the video! Thats what I keep on repeating to myself.. whenever you feel like you are pushing too much, you can still train, but mentally, just watch some matches! Just one last thing, can you do a video on how should we play more physically, how to position, step, where to put more pressure etc. Thanks!*

[@EpicWiiPlayer8132]

I’m a LB and sometimes play RB so this is key for me thank you very much this helps me read the game better in my position and others alongside me

[@Vat6ré]

I hope he post more videos of him analysing games,I learnt so much about how defenders think,and for a winger/striker this was great

[@Tubingonline1]

What separates Jantshke from Matt - That is humility. Great analysis, Great humility! Thanks Matt.

[@thomas726]

I can't get over how nice the new intro is

[@LP-xu5rr]

Thank you so much! I have been trying to improve my game for so long and i never got better. My skills did but my insight didnt get better. So my friend told me i would be better of as a defender although i always wanted to play as a winger. She said i lacked the insight and that was a thing i couldnt improve. I feel much beter now i know that i can improve.

[@isaacdiaz6734]

After seeing this analysis. I realize how different this is compared to all the other basic 2-3 min analysis of players. I don’t want to exactly say that they’re are bad or wrong but they are definitely not are useful as this. The majority are always the same thing: “Neymar, Iniesta, Messi, Hazard, etc. know how to find open space.” And then they show a clip of them running into space. Like it’s common soccer knowledge that you need to find space to receive the ball or to run into with the ball. You need the time. But they don’t actually analyze how the player finds it. How many times and when they check over their shoulder. When is the right time to start moving into that space compared to the people around them. How that space can be used to link up with other teammates or why that specific space will be useful to link up with teammates. This is a true analysis that even gives some insight or idea on what the player might be thinking and how their train of thought works. I am happy to have found this. Thank you Matt.

[@chelseatillidie4000]

i play as a cdm, or deepline playmaker with very gd throughballs and very skillfull dribbles , and great tackles, i think im a right back/cm

[@bernardbrannigan]

excellent video , you should do more if you have time , but if you watched this properly you can do your own now . i loved it will be showing my high school players

[@toasawamura364]

Great video, excellent analysis

[@kingnathan66]

Decent right back, often made the right decisions in this game however his reaction times were often poor and made it harder for himself, also at points he could have communicated better to martial his teammates and order them into better positions to defend against ALL dangers. the one play shown in the beginning when he had the ball and cut back and passed to the center back instead the better option would've been to switch the play with a long ball to the left back. I played right back for years and was 9 when I was scouted for Glasgow Rangers however my career got cut short through a knee injury and I didn't get the chance to go pro.

[@abdulrahmanmuhammad6627]

Great video man. It helps

[@augustaxtman7477]

I liked the video... mabye in the future you could add a summary section just so you can specify certain aspects you focused on in videos like this, where you are trying to give tips??

[@toplobster1040]

My notes: •When in a tight space in the corner, boot that ball up the line •Move up to keep opposing team in check •Instead of letting the ball go down the line and into empty space behind me, force player inside •Look around for incoming players •Communicate with team to know who's covering who

[@faramund9865]

Amazing video, thanks a lot. I’ll be downloading some matches tomorrow!

[@homefootball5570]

13:52 Matt says he couldn’t have done anything but I don’t think that’s completely true; two players have already gone to win the ball off Müller so instead of Janktsche going in too, he should see that Ribery is in space and should cover him quickly. Obviously I’m being very picky and it was a very clever disguised ball from Müller, but to say he could have done nothing else I think is wrong.

[@J-Andrade-4]

Just for you right mid players that lacks defensive mind look at 14:32. As a RM you must be marking where Ribery is because since the RB tucks in you must come back and defend. The RM there did not do that and what could have happened there was that all they needed was a cross and he would be a major threat. As a RB myself I played with RM who would always leave that man open, which was a pain in my ass. So please look into it lol

[@ahmedsameh5743]

you are an amazing man to do that , keep goin'

[@houseki_aars2358]

It's actually also a good lesson that you don't need to watch the best players in the world to learn about your position, because even if the player isn't a 'world-beater', there's still so much to learn from.

[@austinrose3421]

PCP6_ Aaron kind of tho. If you're a midfielder it is much better too watch Xavi, Iniesta, or David Silva then Winjaldum or Fellaini, for example

[@joeljustin117]

everyone ever : lewandowski matt: "that guy" 6:43

[@joeljustin117]

I meant manzdukic oof

[@fifafunnymoments6736]

I ain’t no professional yet or even a defender but surely in the first clip the right back should be dropping to help the keeper when he sees he’s about to get the ball. Unless he’s been told to play long and wants the keeper to clear it

[@douglast1324]

Around at the end of this video, about Jantschke not getting the cross perfect. Actually, the opponent managed to get a slight flick on the ball and sent it a little bit higher and deeper. It is not much but if you pay attention to the rotation of the ball during the slow motion, it has changed after the deflect.

[@douglast1324]

Great video, by the way, and get well soon!

[@austinrose3421]

I just watched Man City vs Liverpool (😂) to learn from de Bruyne and David Silva the best midfield duo in the world rn, but couldn't help but notice the fantastic off-ball movement from Aguero and Jesus, and Benjamin Mendy played insane with his crosses too
