How Raphinha can continue his blistering form to spearhead our Treble charge for next season. 🧵 Raphinha had an incredible season as a left-sided Inside Forward in Flick's setup.

However, fans have speculated how sustainable this system is due to the strain it puts on Balde.

I'll analyze how we can continue to get the best out of Raphinha sustainably and its importance.

How Fermin Lopez can slot himself into Flick's masterplan as a Mezzala. Mezzalas or half-wingers, are defined as "wide, creative and mobile CMs that are given license to support attacks, but still have defensive responsibilities." - @CoachesVoice

These two are the best examples of Mezzalas in modern football.

With increasing awareness and debates between positional and relational football, the exchange of ideologies reminds me of the political spectrum. In this thread, I would like to share my definition of the differing football ideologies, and where they may lie within a spectrum. Inspired by @Jozsef_Bozsi's work, I will align the values according to the political spectrum with my own adjustments. The placements of the X and Y axis, as well as the footballing principles are intended to mirror the political spectrum.
