How efficient are you with the ball in your legs ⚽️

[🧵] Usage basically estimates the % of a team's possessions a player uses while on the floor.
Now how you do you determine efficiency in a player without using the eye test as a coach ?
Is it in training, is it in in real live games?
I’ll say you see it in training as you can repeat ‘live sets’ and see how a player repeats each set to a degree of success.

Chelsea FC have a great shot at supremacy and in order to maximise the potential of this team the team Enzo Maresca need to improve DYNAMICALLY & he’s showing he can.

Poch & Chelsea are gunning to be part of the elites again, each with something to prove to the rest of the

Formations no longer exist in Football.
Positional Play is the Now and Future.
Gone are the days of conventional setups and no rotations.
But there’s always an origin of play(442/343/433).
All the elite teams play like this.
Chelsea need to be up next.
