Good morning, David.

If the opposing team's deep-lying pivot (CDM) drops back to the defensive line, we would consider keeping pressure on them since we could maintain equal numbers in the central areas.

However, this strategy depends on your team’s approach during this phase of the game. If the opposing team's pivot (CDM) is capable of breaking lines, a decision needs to be made: press to prevent their options or maintain a +1 advantage to shift and screen passes through central areas.

Let me know your thoughts, and we will consider putting a piece together for this scenario.

Goalkeeping practices will be going up in the next week.

Hi David,

The Red Bull Overplay model is a great one for this. There’s more available in the analysis section on Red Bull and Overplay.

Adrian, thank you for your question. First, could you clarify what you mean by "videos of trial days"? Are you referring to the footage clubs use when players are on trial?

Secondly, in terms of player assessment, each club tends to have a slightly different approach to individual development plans. However, most clubs follow the four-corner model, which focuses on technical/tactical, physical, psychological, and social aspects. They often use grading systems or colour charts to gauge where a player currently stands and identify areas for improvement. They document these across many different platforms, depending on which country the club is in.

If you have any more questions, please feel free to send them our way.

Best,

Tactx

Hi Martin,

We are working with a professional goalkeeper coach on the practices and are looking to start uploading during October.
