Practice 2 of The Core : Playing Out From the Back is now live 🧱

Building on yesterday's session, we're expanding into 3v2 and 3v3, introducing basic coaching points for building from the back.

More practices to come throughout the week before we bring it all together in a collection and live class.

As always, feel free to ask any questions, and we'll make sure they're covered when we go live.

Daniel A. Interesting question.

I always think of two Luis Enrique quotes. At the start of the season, he spoke about wanting to control everything. Then, at the end, he said...

"The less I control, the more chances I have that the opponent doesn't know what we're going to do."

I think at this point, he has a group of players who understand why they shift, and any player can move within that understanding. Others will have more responsibility in certain areas as opposed to others

The movements are coached, but more within a principle. For example, if Mendes moves higher into the half-space, Vitinha drops lower, and vice versa.

At the academy level, it would depend on the age group. And it's more around understanding the principles of WHY they are rotating, which will improve their actions.

Thibaut R. Hi Thibaut, always asking great questions!

With younger and mixed ability groups, this will happen. Our preference is to challenge the player on the ball when they do.

We're also not keen on limiting touches here, as a turn in this situation can take 3 to 4 small touches, so it's important that players have the freedom to work through it.

"What does the opposite side of the pitch look like when the 9 closes you down?"

"How might we switch play from there?"

That way, you're keeping the understanding in the practice without stopping it. Through some of our technical sessions, particularly the Grassroots practices, players are also building the skills to turn out from the press and find the free player, which should start to show up in practices like this one.

The Core: Playing Out from the Back

We've just uploaded our first playing-out practice as we begin a new focus area: The Core.

This practice is the starting point for a collection built around build-up play and coaching teams to play through. We'll be releasing the rest of the practices throughout the week before bringing them all together into a collection, so you can work through the progressions and build up the complexity and numbers at your own pace.

This is available for subscribers now. Once everything is uploaded, we'll have a live class to tie it all together.

As always, fire over any questions, and we'll make sure they're covered when we go live 👊

Michael Carrick Collection: Complete! 🎉

We've just added the final two practices to the Michael Carrick collection. Transition practices 9 and 10 are now live.

That wraps up the full set! Thanks to everyone who's been working through these sessions with us.

Next up, we're planning a live class to dig deeper into some of the key concepts from the collection. If there's anything you've been wondering about, a specific practice, a tactical detail, why we set something up a certain way, send your questions over and we'll tackle them live.

Drop your questions below or send them our way, and we'll see you in the live session 👊

Ian B. Hi Ian,

No, this is not primarily Tactx content; it is not part of the subscription package.

Saverio B. Hi!

Around 33.26 in the video you see pressing patterns. Where the centre forward is on the first line, this could easliy become the '9' into the '10' position, the '7' into the '9' position and the '10' into the '7' position. Hope that makes sense!

As England fans, we were delighted with the second half, and in the article, we look at what made the difference after half-time.

We will upload a video with this tomorrow, which will be available for subscribers only.
