A thread of 24 exercises designed to improve a Brighton inspired deep build up

Ciao, Francesco 👋 Bem-vindo à tua nova casa 💙 #SeguimosJuntos
Watching Chongqing Tonglianglong (Chinese second tier) right now. The best pressing team in the world (according to PPDA). @BeGriffis

Paul is right. What would be some alternative pressing exercises?
Lots of ‘pressing’ practices have 2/3 players chase the ball in a small area against 5/6 stationary opponents who have to get a number of passes then switch play to another box for players to chase again - this replicates very little of the coordinated skills of ‘pressing’ 🧵
Ball-Orientation: Part 1 - A Guide to Defending and Pressing with Rangnick, Klopp & Nagelsmann I have come across many football philosophies, ideologies & principles of play over the years but this had the biggest impact on me. onenil.medium.com/what-is-ball-o…
Team intention creates structure. Players find a position to support the team idea. For example: The goal is to outplay the press, positions are the tool. However, if we prioritize structure, we often stifle players and prevent creative solutions.
You can play beautiful moving football with two inverted FBs as well. You just need a flexible front 5&some asymmetry from far-sided winger. Pep's Bayern 13/14.
Currently working through my own coaching philosophy! Would love to connect with people who have done the same, or plan to do so, to share ideas! Below is a insight into some ideas I am working through ⚽️ @SundayShare10
A hallmark of a great player / team is their ability to win the ball and not just defend or dispossess their opponent. Far too many teams struggle to establish possession or start an attack after winning a duel, intercepting a pass, due to a misconceptualization of OOP tactics.
The best defenders are able to head the ball to a team mate after winning an aerial duel.
There’s no absolute optimal position. There’s no inherent value in position. It always depends on the context (reference to the ball, opponents, teammates, goals). Therefore, instead of having a pre-established structure, build it on principles, so that your players can adapt to…
Grateful for the opportunity to join the Schalke 04 coaching staff. Thank you to Miron Muslic, Frank Baumann, and the entire club for the trust. Excited to get to work!
Der #S04 geht mit einem veränderten Trainer-Team in die Saison 2025/2026: An der Seite von Chef-Coach Miron Muslic gehen Co-Trainer Eddie Lattimore und Adin Osmanbasic sowie Torwart-Trainer Volkan Ünlü die anstehenden Aufgaben an.
Im sure similar games have been made many times but this is one of my favourites. It played a big part in attuning player attention to affordances of inside diagonal combinations. Video shows a few examples of transfer to game situations. All clips from our u16 group this season.
