Belgium's expected threat (xT) via pass, with the player in each zone being the top xT player in that zone, and all the players' total xT via pass in the table to the right

Not a good sign that most of the highest-xT zones are so deep....... Image

Poland πŸ‡΅πŸ‡± are the best defensive side in Group C.

Argentina πŸ‡¦πŸ‡· need to win to guarantee a place in the knockouts.

Here's how to beat the Polish defense πŸ‘‡

πŸ“ΈπŸ§΅
3 key ways top beat πŸ‡΅πŸ‡± that I'll illustrate:

1) Lure players out of position with vertical passes, especially the FB/WBs

2) Play quick lateral passes to spread their players & then attack those gaps

3) Play quick in transition to stop them from forming their shape
Many of these, especially points 1 & 2, can and should be used together. Examples will be from both Mexico and Saudi Arabia matches, but πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¦ did a much better job at breaking them down, so more come from their match.

Let's begin!

Just finished #POLKSA and man, even with a 2-0 loss πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¦ are the team that have impressed me the most this World Cup. They beat πŸ‡¦πŸ‡· with a strong defensive tactic, and for long stretches of this match, especially first half, they outclassed πŸ‡΅πŸ‡± with a direct attacking tactic
They have a decent chance of qualifying still. And some of the most dangerous teams in a World Cup are ones that can play multiple styles.

KSA can defend well and stifle opponent’s possession, or they can take the reigns and attack swiftly. Final ball/shot let them down today
That first half was crazy, took control and really outclassed Poland and were a bit disappointed but to grab a goal excluding that penalty

Poland showed how to beat their defense though. As I said a few days ago gotta play swift direct over their back line. Did that for 1st goal
