Check out David Clark from Soccer Coach Weekly’s exciting session on ‘Play Like Barcelona’ this morning @EliteSoccerMag #NSCAAPhilly

[Nuno FerreiraParticipant]

Yes

Everyone embraces possession, everybody loves Barca

 

So Gary writes this:

and people say “oh Gary, you are out of order, this is not so”

 

and then…

 

[Nuno FerreiraParticipant]

Curious, what was the room’s reaction when “The presenter (Technical Director of Massachusetts) agreed and said it looked too mechanical”?

Everyone just nodded or did any good, enlightning discussion follow?

Thanks Gary and Andrew.

I try to do something similar.

Besides the informal, ongoing feedback we have a more “formal” conference a couple time a year.

 

Do you guys do any kind of systematic testing?

 

[Nuno FerreiraParticipant]

It’s not like highly successful possession systems don’t value dribbling or natural dribblers.

It’s a matter of when, where.  Also there are different position profiles in a system:

Nice insight on one of possession football early pioneers:

http://clarkeysfootball.wordpress.com/jimmy-hogan-prophet-or-traitor/

Jed, David or anyone else, have you read the original book?

It seems it would help understanding the early dynamics of the different national styles and identities but it seems to be out of print:

“Prophet or Traitor – Jimmy Hogan”

by Norman Fox

Jed, have you read this book by Raphael Honigstein?

“Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger Englischer Fussball: A German View of Our Beautiful Game”

I found it quite revealing.  How fair a depiction would consider it to be?

Good one Gabriel

CR still a decent player to have on your side

A bit simplistic but in my view Scholes is the kind of player you can “produce”, Ronaldo the kind you can “nurture”

BTW it seems the guy from my quote is even more famous

Found this by someone famous:

“Technique is not being able to juggle a ball 1000 times. Anyone can do that by practicing. Then you can work in the circus. Technique is passing the ball with one touch, with the right speed, at the right foot of your team mate”

 

 

[Nuno FerreiraParticipant]

Whenever I feel the need to defend with 2 pivots in 4-3-3 I still like to try switching to 2 “interiors” in possession so that the roles of the 3 in the center mid are:

– 1 holding

– 1 attacking

– 1 shuttler

The angles/distances just seem to work much nicely out of 1 pivot, 2 interiors attacking shape

 

[Nuno FerreiraParticipant]

Well things are always in evolution

Now top European Academies also have Directors of Individual Player Development to work on “creativity”

What is the right way?

I like to look at the results and work my way back to the methodology

In the football coach 187 Youth will also find soccer. In its edition of July we have, besides the usual A / B / C / D-youth sections an extensive article with Pepin Lijnders, coach at FC Porto.

Freedom of creativity
Pepin line managers: “What all our teams recognizable? The collective identity and the technical variability. Within the team, each player has made freedom for his creative side to show. Freedom of action to, to move, choices to be made on the field. It is this freedom of action that allows players to develop rapidly, each under increasing pressure. Everyone can be themselves, at what position he plays. Creativity is the freedom to new situations in new ways to solve. As the season progresses, reduce the time and areas where action is required and the complexity of the football situations increases. The pressure on the ball higher and is faster acting. It is my job at all levels within the youth to develop this talent. ”

This is probably my favorite example of a tremendously “creative” team (most creative ever??) getting beaten by a well organized, “patterned” machine:

 

[Nuno FerreiraParticipant]

 

Exactly but hopefully you can see some “creativity” as well 🙂

And when you get both magic happens
