Player-centric solutions above all. Below it includes technical versatility, dynamic positioning and quick player combinations to unlock defenses. I do like a bit of adaptability in player choices depending on opponents and competitions. Below are a thread of my threads
Describe your football philosophy in 4 coaches. I’ll start.
Lucien Favre they could never make me hate you

I respect the work of composers who create curated symphonies for talented musicians and footballers to carry out orchestral music and positional football But I resonate with the improvisation, freedom and chaos of jazz and relationalism. Player/band-led solutions Toco y me Voy

Piece I had in my mind will likely never get published so I'll drop this here : Slot is slowly turning into my favorite manager because he is relatable and focuses on what truly counts. Change direction fast, workrate, technical ability...
Truly why stats don't tell the full story. It does suggest that Mbappe is the complete striker profile, but even his fans understand that he's optimized out in the wings.
Bar heading - Mbappé is the closest thing to “complete” as a striker profile. Elite pace, dribbling, goal threat and aerial edge (surprising) over Isak. Yet Isak’s non-penalty xG efficiency is slightly better – he shoots less, scores more. Overall Mbappé > Isak, but it’s close…

I wanna know about the footballing philosophy of non-major countries. In Indonesia, we believe in individual, high energy attacking football. I think it's ironic considering our strong communal and family values, but well, these guys typically come from cut throat environments.

Gonna study David Villa's LW role for us during our 2nd treble. Curious to dissect how exactly he and Iniesta occupied the wide left-hand space and had a strong presence despite the more conservative LB. Their directness and two-footedness are my preliminary main factors for it.
