Analytical THREAD discussing player relationships when the centerback has space to advance forward with the ball.

👇👇👇

#Coachdogge #Juventus #ChampionsLeague
Ronaldo & Bentancur are positioned in between the MID/DEF line on the ball-side half (Dybala moving away.) Sandro keeps maximal width as LB. As Chiellini advances, Bentancur meets, pinning players & creating space behind for Ronaldo to occupy. Sandro prepares to threaten depth.
As the ball is advanced further, LB Sandro explodes & commits to his depth run. Since Ronaldo is moving to occupy the space between the lines created by Bentancur, the opposing RB is faced with a difficult proposition. Dybala positions between opposing CB’s to occupy them.
The arial ball into space is now on its way. Sandro has great forward momentum. Ronaldo can now offer a support option to Sandro, from which he may be able to cut in and shoot or pass. Bentancur’s movement has brought him away from the ball, but provides DEF-in-OFF balance.
Thanks for reading. This was a simple example of how player relationships/positional interchanges can help pin & drag opposing defenders from their organized block. Be sure to keep in mind the positions of the involved players in later phases of the play! 👍 #Coachdogge
