Successful wing play with the 1-4-3-3 formation – Positioning, movements and combination play on the wings based on the tactics of Pep Guardiola with Manchester City When a team dictates possession, the opponents are usually forced in a passive role within their own half of the field. In order to be effective during defending they get well organized and compact especially in the central area which is the crucial part of the field. This reaction makes it difficult for the attacking team to break through them from the centre, so they should search for solutions in wide areas were more space can be found. In this presentation, which includes detailed diagrams and videos, we will analyse the attacking tactics of Pep Guardiola with Manchester City. The focus will be on how, through appropriate positioning, well timed movements and effective combination play on the wings, the Citizens manage to break through the opposition. Great attention is paid to the positioning and the reactions of the opposition, as the opponents play significant role in every tactical situation and we have to take them into account for appropriate decision making. Additionally, several animated drills are presented to help coaches apply the tactics used by Pep Guardiola to their teams, by simply adding or adjusting them to their own training sessions.    The analysed tactics for successful wing play can also be used with every possible formation by making the appropriate adjustments.

The role of attacking midfielders in overload creation and exploitation with the 1-4-3-3 – An analysis of Pep Guardiola tactics with Manchester City The role of the attacking midfielders in the 1-4-3-3 formation is very important. These two are usually key players in the 1-4-3-3 so they have to be top quality. Apart from their technical excellence, the attacking midfielders have to have high tactical awareness, as this will enable them to create situations in order to break through the opposition’s defensive organization. One of the situations which helps an attacking team to break through the opposition’s defence is the creation of overloads (numerical superiority). Creating overloads is of high priority for teams that aim to apply the principles of positional play. In this presentation, which includes detailed diagrams and videos, we will analyse the attacking tactics of Pep Guardiola with Manchester City and we will focus on how, through intelligent positioning, the attacking midfielders create overloads in specific areas of the field. Additionally, we will present how these overloads can be exploited by good decision making and appropriate combination play. In every tactical situation analysed, the opponents play a significant role, so they can’t be left outside of the context. That’s why in this project the reaction of the opposition is always taken into account so that players end up with the appropriate decision making. Finally, the animated drills are designed to train players in taking the right decisions by reading the reaction of the opponent as well as to help coaches apply these tactics to their teams, by simply adding or adjusting them to their own training sessions.  The overload creation and exploitation analysed can also be used in every possible formation by making the appropriate adjustments.

How to penetrate the opponents’ lines with the 1-4-3-3 formation – Finding a way to move the ball to the free space between lines according to tactics used by Guardiola, Klopp and Sarri The aim during the attacking phase is to create scoring chances and scoring goals. In order to achieve this the ball should be moved in specific areas of the field so that a final pass or a cross under good conditions can be made. Moving the ball to the desired areas can be carried out through different styles of building up. If positional play is chosen then short passing and gradual build up is used, whereas in case of direct play long balls are played. Finally, when mixed build up is applied both short and long passing is used. In this presentation which includes detailed diagrams and videos, we will analyse the tactics used mainly by Pep Guardiola and other top coaches like Jurgen Klopp and Maurizio Sarri. The concepts of space, of effective supporting angles and the types of passes (first, second and third line) used according to the situation, are analysed in detail. The focus is on how all the above can be used effectively in order for the attacking team to exploit the available space between lines. By this strategy the ball is gradually moved from line to line, with short and safe passing until it reaches the desired areas for creating scoring chances. The analysis is followed by animated drills to help coaches apply the tactics used to their teams, by simply adding or adjusting them to their own training sessions. The analysed tactics for penetrating the opposition’s lines is presented with the 1-4-3-3 formation, but it can also be used with every possible formation by making the appropriate adjustments.

The popular formation can be used in order to drag defenders out of position and create space in specific areas. This space can be exploited by certain players and in different ways. However if space is not created the players who take part in the situation have other alternative options. The presentation will be supported by video analysis and animation as well as animated drills.

Soccer Awareness - One-Touch Mentality (Theory and Field session) The game is getting faster using fewer touches on the ball, which creates the need for quicker thinking; more intelligent movement off the ball; and better decision making players Soccer is a thinking game that begins in the head of each player. What is the link between the thinking process and teaching “A One Touch Mentality” to players? My main focus in training is the decision making process each player goes through to be successful. Important Questions: WHEN / WHERE / HOW / WHAT AND WHY. How often do you see the ball arriving at the players’ feet and he or she doesn’t know what to do next? You can almost hear their brains ticking over. The relevance of a learning a “One Touch Mentality” to the modern game. As the game gets faster, so is the need for players to master this VITAL innate ability because the game is getting faster using fewer touches on the ball, less space to work in as defensive tactics improve; which creates the need for quicker thinking; quicker moving; and better / faster decision making players. There are three types of youth soccer player: Those who don’t know what’s happening in a game; Those who know what’s happening but only as its happening. Those who already know what is going to happen next.

Author and Presenter: Athanasios TerzisLanguage: EnglishLength: 69 min. Counterattacking with the 1-4-4-2 formation – An analysis of the tactics of Diego Simeone The counterattack is a part of the positive transition phase and it can be proved a very effective weapon in order to score goals and win matches. This stands not only for teams which apply a counterattacking style of play, like Atletico Madrid, but also for teams and coaches who want to apply any style of play like positional, direct or mixed.   In this presentation, which includes detailed diagrams and videos, we will analyse the stages of the counterattack and how Atletico Madrid of Diego Simeone, one of the most successful counterattacking sides, apply their tactics to counterattack with the fewest possible passes and within the less possible time. The present project provides also information about how the players will counterattack effectively according to the part of the field where possession is won, and which is the best way to secure possession when the opponents put pressure on the ball to stop the counter. Furthermore, it includes information about how the defensive positioning of the forwards affects the counterattack and where the target player should move to find the free space according to the positioning of his direct marker. Finally, the twelve progressively designed drills will help coaches to train their players in order to carry out quick and effective counterattacks by simply adding or adjusting them to their own training sessions.
