"Get the ball at the halfway line and go score a solo goal." 😂 Or " why would you pass back. Its only 3 defenders marking you. Dribble them all and score" I heard an interview once. Where Henry said something like. Focus on 1 thing at a time. Beat the first defender. Then start thinking of beating the second. And after that start thinking of the third. When you look up. It's you an the goalie.

They are willing to invest to popularize football in the U.S. as the 2026 World Cup is coming. Also, here, sports pundits are allowed to be who they are and just make jokes as much as they want. If you check out the NFL, NHL, NBA, etc...they have the most fun pundits.

The system Thierry covered for Real Madrid is the standard field hockey formation. 2-3-5. 2 full backs. 3 mids and 5 in attack

Yes!! Hockey and Football are more similar than most realize.

[@nigelbhebhe2805]

That's so cool. I was obsessed with hockey back in high school. I didn't know the two have similar positions

[@David-_-_-]

@@nigelbhebhe2805 well the weird part is what Thierry highlighted. Football systems are normally quoted based on the "defensive" setup and attack isn't mentioned. Hockey was the opposite and based on the attacking setup. So it's interesting now there is such change between attack and defense systems they are beginning to overlap more

[@yohanespaskal9352]

If you try to look up about football strategy and evolution you gonna see football manager back then copies formation or strat from other sports, it's so fun because it's evolving never a static.

[@legendovbago4716]

And he is an invicible

[@mohammedfaiisal]

@@alancawfield6549gary wasn't a rubbish manager. He had no experience and couldn't speak the language. Emery could speak English but not good enough and he couldn't get his point across to the team and they struggled. Look at him now at Villa. Not comparing Emery to Neville but 100% the reason he struggled was because of language barrier and he was managing in a tough league in prime Barcelona and Real Madrid era. He picked the wrong job as the first job. He should have been an assistant manager first at club level and then joined a championship club

[@mukyapi604]

And there is a reason why he failed at Monaco and in the US. True he is knowledgeable, however to transfer that to the players as a coach is a different thing. Great analysis nevertheless. Talk is cheap in the end !

[@crizzyplays]

She is openly flirting at this stage 😂🤣

[@apuulilucky7970]

Incredible understanding of the game.. Kudos T. Henry

[@ToddParker]

Jamie basically asks "do you prefer a 2-3 or a 3-2." A great question. Marcelo Bielsa has one rule in the back when his team is on the ball: "numerical advantage." So to answer that question, the 2-3 or 3-2 is dictated based on the other team and how they position players. The other team against Arsenal or Real would mostly be a deep block positioned to defend, win the ball, and counter. They will position release players around the opposition; trying to predict where the ball will release in open space. So create numerical advantage and respond to the opposition; whether 2-3 or 3-2...it does not matter. In the video analysis Arsenal are basically moving into their default 2-3 and they can do that because the other team has 1 up top. Likewise RM starts in 3-2 early in the build out of middle third because as Thierry says "the other team has 2 strikers." That is the difference, it is simple counting and like Bielsa both managers will want numerical advantage out of the back and teach transitions on how to create their 5-5 attacking structure adapted to the opponent.

[@Salimtadlaoui-cy9jb]

You reminded me of the US counter attack against Algeria at the 2010 World cup, the algerians were buliding the attack and they expected the counter, but they didnt knew how to predict and deal with situation cause the US had numerical advantage in the attack which means they had a lot of posibilties to go either left or right to score but they've gone right

[@Salimtadlaoui-cy9jb]

And by the way, manchester united and real madrid developped a counter attack technique where if the player in the middle has the ball, he would go all the way to his right for example just to pass to the player far on the left without seeing him so the opponent wouldnt predict where he will play the ball, it also opens the gap and give the goalscorer a better angle to score

[@gooner_duke2756]

There are a handful of teams who do the same in the PL, or variations of it. tbf though, they have to ask questions to educate the general audience watching. Basic teaching/training tbh. I used to do it in the military. Ask a co-trainer who was teaching a group, some obvious questions, not because I didn't know the answer myself, but to ask on behalf of those being taught... or if the trainer missed something/or wasn't quite clear, occasionally.

The biggest problem for Thierry Henry, is translating the immense knowledge he has from his mind to another mind, in a titrated and distilled manner,so that others can take those pieces and accordingly form the concepts thereof in their own minds and see football the way he does and be able to translate that knowledge to actionable sequences on a daily basis and most importantly , in game situations! That’s why I keep talking about guys like Lampard , Gary Neville, Thierry Henry, Scholes, Wayne Rooney, Gareth Southgate, Tony Adam’s, Jamie Carragher, Steven Gerard who should have all been great managers but so far aren’t; It’s an issue of communication more than anything. When you listen to Wenger, Pep, Arteta players, they always have one thing in common; they talk extensively about the extreme attention to detail that these guys bring to their coaching. Everything is exposed and explained in a deep and rich manner, in a specific way to a specific layer! That’s why these coaches always talk about the “right profile” of a player! What they mean is that they need first of all smart, curios and eager to learn profiles, students of the game. Some players don’t care about the education side of the game and just want to play…most of those guys will never be great coaches later in life! They’ll just do what THEY know, and when their career is over, they’re finished in football too…it’s just the memories and stories. But others, who invested in communication skills, are able to get these lofty coaching concepts on board during their playing days and then later on transfer them to others in a coaching capacity, thereby elongating their football experience and rewriting history in different phases like Grasshoppers, if you know what I mean. I love Thierry Henry as an Arsenal fan, but I hear he was terrible as a coach! Aggressive, Impatient, easily angered by repeated failure to do “what he demands”… and all this time he didn’t see that the problem was his inability to simplify his ideas for others to grasp! This is the same problem for these young guys , Gary Neville Lampard Scholes Gerard Rooney and them. That’s why you see them do what they do as Pundits! Force us to believe they know enough; what matters is to make it clear to your players in the shortest time possible! I hope this helps many who try to go into coaching. Pundits really spoil football sometimes when you don’t know this about most of them.
