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!

Daniel A. Hi Daniel, it depends on the player's position on the ball. A wider position leaves little room for overlap and would suggest (though not always) that an underlap is better suited to the scenario. Likewise, if the player on the ball is on the inside of the pitch, the space is on the outside for the overlap.(see image from the game last night)

Hi Yagiz.

We have two projects that we are working on behind the scenes. The Bielsa one will follow, and we are looking at the first releases around September.

One thing I didn't mention is that Domenec Torrent's definition literally includes the concept of relation within it: PP is positioning your players RELATIVE to everyone on the pitch to generate advantages. Where Guardiola and Diniz differ is in conceiving of how you structure these relationships - not in one disregarding relationships altogether.

It's worth remembering that all relationships on a football pitch are impossible without a concept of position. In that respect, relationism HAS to be positional.

They can still have their own unique existence. But they are still a subset, in my opinion, of a broader category: positional play.

By suggesting PP as a more general term is "useless", it seems as though you're saying "well we still have to differentiate between Guardiola and Diniz!" - absolutely! But the differentiator isn't PP - it's the way that these two coaches are using positional ideas in very different ways.
