How Xabi Alonso's Tactic is Breaking Football

[@shadow19845]

I just searched for xabi alonso tactics and this masterpiece dropped

Literally did the exact same thing

[@jablanbukvovski]

ma too...and then tonight happened and i'm kind of leaning towards old italian managers. research that and give us stats on them winning everything and how

You know me as well

you are the Fabrizio Romano of tactics I swear I trust you

Thats too much bro!🙏 I'm just a tactical enthusiast like you who's still learning this. So it's a long way to go.

i am obsessed with his videos

[@tarunsiddartha8635]

Last week in an interview before the champions league final 2024 , Carlo Ancelotti talked about the time when he faced roberto de zerbi’s shaktar in 2022 champions league group stage…he told the players to not press them, he also told the players that de zerbi’s players wants us to press but you don’t . This resulted in Madrid sitting on a medium block and winning 5-0

Now we need a video: "How Gasperini broke Bayer Leverkusen"

[@noellwhelan]

about to write this 😅

[@elijahmbang2728]

We need answer to this.

[@WAD528]

Physicality; the Leverkusen backline is weak and they are not that good against 1v1's.

[@NostalgicMem0ries]

@@WAD528 yeah tah and tapsoba very weak :D lol. it was lookmans career game thats it.

[@WAD528]

@@NostalgicMem0ries Weak in duels, positionally not great and not great at defending space that is why Alonso tries to play as controlling as possible at the start of match without giving the ball away at their half and having an aggressive counter press to gain the ball high and by the end of the match they sit in this deep compact block with a back five line and turn into a counter attacking team. Go check their matches again and inform me about anything that I said wrong here.

[@RandEditzTM]

Impressive Work from Xabi Winning an invincible treble can’t be repeated!

BAsically, it's 'Total Football' from a manager who actually knows what's needed to implement it. Nice job on the analysis.

[@Hwyz447]

All the brilliant midfielders we saw, will go on to become managers it seems. I can't wait for it....

[@7murilex7]

I'm testing this tactic at Bayer Leverkusen. In 9 games so far, I have achieved 5 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. However, the team has a lot of ball possession in every game. Thank you Falcon

[@JayjayCruzPB]

Could you do Claudio Ranieri's Pemier Leauge winning tactics?

[@KarlSkorger]

this man casually built the greatest ever football team... in his first few years of senior management 🔥

[@kayisgaming7164]

You don’t know what the greates ever means clearly. Must be 10years old

[@Wowvod]

they had a 50+ win streak before their first L. they’re third behind Bayern Munich 2012-2013 /ac Milan 1991-1993

not the greatest tbh but really good

[@carrynmudumani4291]

I love creative coaches who bring new philosophies.But Pep's tiki taka Barca was artistry

[@UNDERCOVER_GG]

It belongs to Cryuff though

[@jakeperry5418]

What is crazy to add of this, Leverkusen has also incredible bench. F.e. in change to Boniface or 10´s you have Schick, Adli, Tella, Hlozek, Iglesias, which are different type of players. Problem in the CDM? Andrich is amazing too. For Frimpong Stanisic, GK Kovar, 4-5 good CB´s. There are so many players that in different teams would be stars. And do not talk about age average.

[@matheuscerqueira7952]

These same players were performing in relegation levels before Xabi's arrival. His training methods definitely had an impact on their quality

[@footballgamingtech3209]

No one used to talk about these 90% of player before xabi Alonso. His tactics gameplay changed them.

[@easeit11]

I am a big fan from Egypt, rock it bro.

[@bartek_ewertowski]

I loved watching him play at Real Madrid. So glad to see he's found success coaching!

[@natoslayer2907]

Best tactics channel for information and production.

[@mateuszdylda6840]

I think that Xabi plays with two pivots and the role could be that Xhaka is the Romaing Playmaker and next to him the physical Andrich with the BWM role

Just found this banger and my team finnaly found some tactics

2:07 thats the classic sarri vertical tiki taka, not de zerbi or guardiola, but great wide, well explained

[@AMANKUMAR-os4xp]

how xavi implemented so well it's fascinating and giving chills to be thinking about it

this is an advanced version of all rounder team😮 they could use myriad types of strategy depends on the opponents reactions. definitely need some genius players to control the flow

[@marcoantoniopoloospino7604]

The match between Atalanta and Leverkusen shows that there Is no absolut Tactic and that Is exactly where the magic of football Is .. great match thought

[@gokaiger2878]

Your channel is really helpful. i have some ideas about the coach's tactics for example motta's bologna, xabi's unbeaten bayer04, girona, astonvilla, dortmund or the old exploits of as roma 2000/01, simone laliga 2014, leicester 2006 I saw you from fmm20 to now tks u so much❤❤❤❤

[@gaetanvandemaele2716]

You didn't mention one thing. The Goalkeeper. When he is in possession, does he slow the pace down or distribute quickly? I think he does distribute to the centre backs only right? And what distribution type? short/ long kicks/ long throws... Its a little detail that I would love to know.

[@randisallah]

So if you cut it down, and after watching videos about Arsenal and now Leverkusen's tactics. To work effectively, the system requires intelligent players, who are comfortable on the ball, can play various positions and if needed have a striker defending his own box. They counter and then all of a sudden you've potentially got your center back roaming forward (bit like Stones for City) and looking to take a shot at goal or set someone else up for them to take a shot at goal. Wow, it's amazing how tactics that were first used over a 100 years ago have evolved into what we have now. Yes kids these aren't exactly new ideas that no one has ever seen before. The OG pioneer was a guy born in the 1800s, freaky how it's nearly 2 whole centuries ago, who was called Jack Reynolds (who also allegedly also invented the "False 9" in the 1920s). And he's got a direct link in practices and tactics that were passed down through the ages to one Pep Guardiola, through Rinus Michels, Johan Cruyff and beyond. It's simply amazing how history connects us all 🤯.

It's evident that every serious club needs to innovate constantly. To break this Xabi Alonso's formation, I think clubs need to utilize two workaholic defensive midfielders that can also switch to creative midfielders at an instant e.g. prime Kante, Makelele, orGatusoo. Opponents can also employ dirty tactics to make players emotional. 😂😄😁
