A thread on Xavi's tactics from his Al Sadd days based on his interview with @CoachesVoice.

The analysis is done by our Analytics and Vizzes Expert: @__ElJdP.

Xavi says: "I've suffered as a footballer without the ball, and now even more so from the bench."

Follow For More. ⤵️
@CoachesVoice @__ElJdP Ideal set-up:
• Wide wingers (stretch the pitch & distract).
• Advanced CM's in the "squares" (occupy)
• Central occupation (runs)
• Defensive midfielders (recycle possession)

As you'd expect from Xavi. The notion of squares: In the opponent's 4-4-2, find the holes & occupy.
@CoachesVoice @__ElJdP Set-up generating superiority:

From the beginning, Xavi points out that two forwards will get outnumbered by three, three forwards will get outnumbered by four.

Further up, players in the previously mentioned squares trap the opposition midfield: Superiority.
