Studs on the ball: Roberto De Zerbi

A new tactical element involves the ability to receive the ball with the sole and wait rather than immediately playing it forward. This tactic helps lure the opponent out of their defensive shape and creates space. Teams like Roberto De Zerbi's refine this approach by patiently waiting for the opportune moment to exploit the open space with a quick pass. The central positioning of defenders makes it difficult for the opponent to press effectively, thereby creating openings on the wings. This strategy is gaining popularity among other teams and is being adjusted accordingly.
