Great stuff. Q: If the PRESS player gets beaten, the COVER PLAYER will take over. So, if the PRESS takes the COVER player's position on the pitch, WHAT IS THAT MOVEMENT CALLED ? I'm doing the UEFA C in Spain at the moment, and they call this a PERMUTA ( exchange, permutation...). Thanks and keep up the good work 👍

[@CoachReese]

Sorry for the delay in replying. I hope the UEFA C is going well! The movement is called a recovery run

@@CoachReese Hey 👋 No problem at all. Thanks ever so much for your time. Much appreciated. Course in final stages now. Just FINAL PROJECT and TRAINING SESSIONS to present, which is all theory and hopefully will be good to go 👍

[@CoachReese]

@@MetaFootballTV That’s good to hear! Let me know how it goes!

@@CoachReese Cheers. Will do. 💯👍

Quality video! What's your opinions on Marcelo Bielsa's defending principles? He is highly influential with many defending principles we see in the modern game today with his man-orientated press and principles of winning the ball as close and high to the opposition goal with little regard for overall structure. Keep up the good work!

[@CoachReese]

Hi George! I'm glad you found the video useful! It's quite an interesting approach (I'm working on a video about it!) I like it, but the lack of structure can have its flaws - if the press it beaten you can be in a lot of trouble. Whereas, the more traditional press maintains some structure behind the press so offers you more protection should the press be beaten. It's almost how much are you prepared to risk to win the ball really high?

[@Rainstorm121]

Thanks Coach. I have not seen anyone talked about the difference between tactics, and principles of play.

[@CoachReese]

No problem! I actually have video coming out soon about it and how managers create their playing philosophies using the two

[@Rainstorm121]

@@CoachReese Sounds great. Looking forward for that.

[@rafehkhan7]

Helpful information there coach! Just wanted to know, did these principles originate from a school of thought or were they developed universally with passage of time?

[@CoachReese]

I'm glad you found it useful Rafeh, the principles have been developed over time. These are what we commonly use in England, but different countries may have different ideas

[@AdnanSayyed21]

@@CoachReese really excited, about the new season & new additions jesus & teilemans would be like the main targets excited about viera , competition for odegard i'm hoping we could sign raphina from leeds 😅

[@CoachReese]

@@AdnanSayyed21 It would be brilliant! Having not only a big squad, but a squad full of quality is going to be really important next season. We've seen the issues that occur when we've been required to use current squad players. If they do get them all over the line, then next season will be really fun!

@@CoachReese can we do collaboration on KZbin??

Sorry for the delay in responding! I'm not doing any collaborations at the moment. Potentially in the future

[@supriyobiswas6313]

is that compactness can be said as park the bus tactic?

[@CoachReese]

It’s more compactness is a trait of teams who park the bus
