Is this patterned or “created”?

Sporting Lisbon Shadow Practice And Tactical Pattern Play

[Nuno FerreiraParticipant]

Here’s an example of typical pattern work at a high level European academy.
And Sporting is known for having a free flowing style of play and it has a reputation for accommodating and nurturing the creative mavericks type.

Nevertheless:

But apparently not:

Hard to know what is down to game philosophies or what is ego/personalities clash.  But it goes to show the challenges of consistency in approach.

Have you had a chance to check LFC youth set-up recently?

Thanks for the insight on Martinez methods Jed.  Always interesting to get a window of what is happening behind the scenes and on the training ground.

Some dynamics are intriguing to figure out sometimes.

It would seem Rodgers would share the same basic philosophy as Segura and Borrell:

BTW the thesis is in Portuguese but the interview with Van Gaal is in English 🙂

At any serious level you will need some kind of organization/pattern.

The nature of the game will need and prize creativity but it needs a platform from what to operate from.

The exact mix of how much and when are always open to discussion everywhere,  including inside the same club…there is a constant tension and things are always in evolution

The individuals also make a difference…Messi says that at La Masia they kept telling him to share the ball more but that he just kept on dribbling…and eventually coaches adjustaded to him

LVG is considered one of the most “structured” coaches around and very possibly the most important influence on the tactical methodology of the last 25 years

Even he of course admits to the importance of creativity in the game

You can check this tremendous interview where he gives great insight

As expected the design and delivery of the sessions is top notch.  One one hand one could say that there is nothing really “new” here but

1) If you were already doing most of this stuff it reinforces that this is the way to go

2) It shows that maybe you have not doing it enough or well enough

3) I know that I have been doing a lot of this (or similar) but I also already picked out a number of ideas/details.  Sometimes small difference details that end up making the whole difference

Hey,

My name is Nuno Ferreira

I was born and raised in Portugal where I grew playing futebol.

One of my first big frustrations as a player was when I had to sit out on the U16 Lisbon District Cup final against a Benfica side that stared Paulo Sousa (time cue) because on the semis I had gotten a (first ever) red card.

As a player I played a couple of seasons on the lower divisions and for a while I was technically “away” from the game.

I ended up in the US (different storyline) and of course I kept playing for fun, watching it and I got involved in coaching as another way to be involved in the game.

I was always a bit obsessed about the game but once I started coaching my perspective changed and I really felt a “need” to understand it at a deeper level.

Currently working at youth level on a relatively small Midwest community “adjusting” has been a process.Culture shock does not start to describe it.With all the challenges I have decided to give it a shot and try to make a difference.

From a distance I have followed Brian and Gary’s work and I have been impressed.Nobody has all the answers but their mindset and approach have been refreshing and they already have helped on raising the expectations immensely.

I’m here to keep refining my understanding of the game and also to support and interact with others that like the Kleibans are on a mission to take the US game and environment to a different level.
