Napoli vs Juventus #NAPJUV

Match Analysis 🇮🇩🇬🇧

[THREAD]
Formation

Napoli, managed by Luciano Spalletti, used a 4-3-3 formation.

Meanwhile, Juventus, managed by Massimiliano Allegri, used a 3-5-1-1 formation.
Juventus Defensive Block

Juventus defend using a 5-3-1-1/5-3-2 shape, Locatelli can also drop to the backline to cover or add more players to defend.
One of the players in the midfield 3 (ex: McKennie), can advance to press fullback Napoli (ex: Marco Rui) while blocking central progression (to Lobotka).
High Press and Second Ball Napoli

Napoli press using man-oriented, by forcing Juve to do a long ball. Napoli won the second ball and can take the advantage of the transitional situation.
Napoli made a switch play to the right due to the Juve's defensive shape being shifted to the left.

The presence of Zielinski and Di Lorenzo was also able to attract Sandro and Kostic so it created space for Politano to exposed it and make a cutback to Kvaratskhelia.
For the 4th goal, Napoli did a counter press after losing the ball and was able to get the second ball. So that there is enough space for Kvaratskhelia to cross to Osimhen.
Based on the xT chart from @DatoBHJ, Kvaratskhelia recorded the highest record (especially via pass).

Meanwhile, according to @markstats, Osimhen is the most dangerous player as the pass receiver with 0.54 xT. This makes the two of them very dangerous when combined.
Napoli has a varied build-up shape.

-2-3 shape, with Marco Rui invert to the middle. Anguissa and Di Lorenzo rotate on the right side to help build up.

-3-2, with Lobotkan dropping between Napoli's CB.

-3-4, with Zielinski who is positioned more advanced than Anguissa, drop.
The most important thing is that Napoli always has numerical superiority in numbers in the first phase, making it easier to circulate.

Because of that, Napoli defenders have an important role in ball progression, with Di Lorenzo being the most active player in this regard.
Expose Space Behind Napoli's Backline

Previously, Napoli did try to expose space behind the backline like this.
Napoli patiently circulated to shift defensive shape and provoke the press, with Lobotka setting the tempo.

The movement of Napoli players is again able to attract Juve players (Kostic to Politano, Sandro to Zielinski).
So that creates space behind the backline and a 2v2 situation for Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia.

Napoli were also able to score the 2nd goal due to Kvaratskhelia being 'free' because the 3 opposing defender was provoked by Osimhen's movement.
Before Napoli's 5th goal, Napoli was able to thwart Juve's attempt to wide overload, by defending with more players (3v4 situation).

Napoli made a triangle to make a quick short pass to provoke the Juventus press.
When Juve are lured to the left, Napoli will switch play to the right side which created space.

Di Lorenzo, who played as RB in the starting position, inverted to the middle thereby creating a 2v1 situation, with Elmas against Kostic.

Brighton's Build Up vs Arsenal's Defence.

De Zerbi's idea is to build up by using a double pivot that closes to each other and performs combinations.

This was also assisted by Sanchez (GK) so that Brighton had numerical superiority (7v5) in the first phase. ImageImage

Match Thoughts

[THREAD]

@LFC @ManUtd
Liverpool

• Despite Man United's aggressive high press, Liverpool was still able to through several times by building up from the back.

• There are several build-up shapes made by Liverpool.

• Liverpool 2-4-4 build-up.
• Liverpool 2-3-2-3/2-4-2-2 build-up.

Which ended with Diaz's shot saved by De Gea. Joe Gomez's ability to drive the ball into the middle could be an alternative for Liverpool when they want to escape from Man United's high press.
