How Thiago Motta Has Created NEW POSITIONS At Bologna

Thiago Motta caught the attention of football in 2018 when he described his ideal system as a 2-7-2. 5 years later and Motta is taking Serie A by storm, implementing his 2-7-2 with liberos, carrileros & ideas inspired by relationism to great effect but how do his tactics work?

[@StatmanDave]

Where should Thiago Motta manage next?

[@rgb2yt]

Liverpool

[@RicoTheUnknown]

Juventus according to rumours

[@ufokemo]

Juventus

[@Nkosie007]

Chelsea

[@samkelogwagwa6544]

I'd say Barcelona as a former Barca player

[@ibroasis]

Similar video was done about Ten Haag only for him to start playing a different brand of football with United. No guarantees, folks.

[@donvalentinoproductions78]

The difference here is Giuntoli is litterary picking this manager and he will work with Motta! Also Juve has plsyers that can work with Motta United don't

[@okonalbert]

I keenly watched Bologna vs Salernitana yesterday and i could see how they fluidly moved with the ball, and they sort of just made it easy for them to control the game almost effortlessly, the only issue i had with them was they were too slow to make decisions when they got towards the opponent's goal

[@RazzaP17]

Nah cos who was there when dave did the original vid on this 🤣

[@StatmanDave]

Yesssssss lad. ❤❤❤

[@sejn195]

Literally thought to myself "Wasn't this a big thing like 5 years ago?"

[@dariuspalmer2829]

I love to see tactics evolve so interesting

[@marcusnguginganga2829]

Maybe Man Utd should get a manager that deals with relationism tactically, just a thought

[@YusufEbr]

Don't think they going to sack Ten Hag, the new guy just got here so he will give him time. It would be another copy and paste thing they were doing in the past if they change it up. Barca could be open for it. Maybe Juve eventually

[@emmanuelonyono4517]

Great analysis bro for us to understand more about the games.

[@Kalvin2030]

Wonderful dive into tactics. Would love to see one for Amorin. I've heard a lot about him but donno his style of play. Would love to find out

[@slove1234]

Really love the content, but if I could just ask one thing: could you work on pronunciation of the player names? Calafiori was mentioned a lot, but his name was often pronounced as califiori or caliafiori. I know it's not the point of the video, but i thought i'd bring it up anyways in case it's useful. In general though, I learn so much from these videos so thanks!

[@lukee7442]

do a video about why united always concede right after scoring 🙏 it’s so common this season that even after mount’s goal, i didn’t feel confident about winning

[@oliverskov2787]

Loving these vids. Can you do one on Amorim? As a Liverpool fan I would love to watch it

[@BSM.ftbl2355]

Please do stuttgart tactics

[@bazza2454]

Imagine him coming to United and having Martinez and scalvini as liberos

[@YusufEbr]

Greater chance of getting Southgate at this point

[@jiehongfang3625]

Martinez cannot play liberos, because of his lack of running ability

[@EstifanosYitayew]

Bro will you do a ruben amorim tactic video in the future?

[@tomgillette3714]

Libero is technically a sweeper behind a back 4, is it not? @statmandave

[@billinglumbalumba]

More like roaming CB

[@kejaunjoseph8387]

David Luiz was a Liberio at Chelsea under conte

[@Kris_jellybeard]

Mainoo could be a libero playing that way like Stones too

[@liamrieckzahra300]

Hi Dave. What about Fabian Hurzeler, manager of st pauli. Uses the same libero and very compact in defense

[@jonathanbowling1900]

Hiya Dave could you do something on Lionel Scaloni and Barcelona as he as been linked with the job eg tactics and potential signings.

[@RicoTheUnknown]

Fantastic 🙌🏼

[@Gamerbox89]

going to try and emulate it on fm 24 with juventus( ready for next year)

[@Metruriel]

@StatmanDave I wonder if you know Ruben Amorim, who acutally coaches Sporting clube de Portugal. You should, because this system is known as he puts Sporting playing for some years now. If you don't know him, do a bit of reasearch, you'll enjoy

[@ahmed-rvpofficial7449]

man united linking with this guy i still hope we can keep ten hag

[@jonathanbowling1900]

Hiya Dave can you do something on Xavi becoming new manager of Ajax how he would set them up and potential signings

[@BinRoy-iy8jh]

He’s coming to Juventus and bringing Calafiori with him

[@MrBananaSamich]

Great video!

[@paulosasfaw9799]

statman dave i alwys like your stats🖒🖒

[@arnoldmasanja8926]

@Dave please do a tactical analyis video on Zerkzee;)

[@monkofknowledgestan]

Great Analysis as always, Dave.

[@MarkAlexander2010]

Hi Dave, could the reason Ten Hag brought in Mount this season be due to him planning on also using a libero? On the surface, a midfield of Bruno, Mount and Casemiro/Mainoo seems defensively unbalanced. McTominay also plays high as Mount's replacement, leaving the gap between midfield and defence. Assuming the players are fit next season, could a Martinez libero facilitate a Bruno, Mount, Mainoo midfield?

[@matthewmaayen1088]

Hopefully thiago motta can do an xabi alonso

[@zachattack08112]

dave gonna have me checking out serie a 🤣

[@ahmed-rvpofficial7449]

another van gal no please

[@arung6564]

Do you bring him to man utd ?

[@StatmanDave]

He should be considered...

[@femi_danjuma]

No please.

[@markant9534]

@@StatmanDave Do you think he would do better than Ten Hag?

[@abdubinyaameen6188]

I keep ten hag one more season if he doesnt make progress then consider a new manager

[@emmanuelrobinson5622]

FM25 👀

[@kodybrown9228]

These tactics are a bunch of bologna

[@saelind73]

It's not "LiBEro". The accent should be on the i, "LIbero". Think at it as saying "Lee".

[@andriajovannie7541]

I think ETH use Motta s system for rest of the season coz players he has right now tired can't run and likes of mount, Fernandez and mainoo can play with each other.also I think he tried it last season

[@SportstuffMalayalam]

what is your job bro..? Are you a full-time KZbinr, or do you have another job?

[@StatmanDave]

Full time brother

[@markant9534]

@@StatmanDave So your not the stripper known as "statman Dave" then? lol

[@rana1561]

Ngl, I am tired of premature hype if so many managers who try something new in a club that allows them time a space to lose games and experiment but crumble when they demanded to win things, meanwhile managers who have won respective leagues and cups in different places in Europe are looked down upon once the hype is over or when althey are forced to work in club that have too much media pressure or are dysfunctional organizations that scapegoat good managers. Every few months content creators flock to some tweaking and hype it as a path breaking upcoming META, and then the bubble burst and everyone is disappointed because the competitors figure out the solution and the hype makes these managers too stubborn to change things. There is nothing new a out almost all tactics, it's just that us fans have a very short memory.

[@RasmusPa]

So Motta is the shiny new coach that English people are obsessed with? Sarri Potter Bielsa Ten Hag Nagelsman Xavi All came and gone. Motta is next 😂😂

[@devilinthebelfry7292]

ju ve ju ve juve juve juvejuvejuvejuve

[@vittoriobresciani]

Buddy, please stop saying libero...like that.

[@juventino2008]

To much tactics runes the game and makes it harder for players to show their potential

[@patrick5301]

This is boring. "Look, I made up a 2-7-2" (exactly the same 3-2-2-3 everyone else uses just with different rotations)
