Everyone wants to follow the Tiki-Taka Style of the Barcelona team because it worked successfully. It doesn't mean that if it works for them, it is the solution to the conundrum of what a successful football team is.
In today's episode of Leader Manager Coach Podcast, Rob Ryles shares the strategies and more importantly the philosophy of football that he has learned from Jed Davies to win the game. Jed Davies is a successful football coach and author that Rob admires. Jed has gained massive coaching experience in different countries which is why his books promise so much information.
Rob does a perfect concise overview of Jed's philosophy and coaching tactics. It cannot be emphasized enough how important penetration is over possession to become a successful football team. Discover also what objectives should be prioritized, what are the key areas of control, where to position yourself in the continuum of control and many more.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- According to Jed, ask the question ‘What is THE philosophy?” instead of the question “What is your philosophy?” in football. The philosophy of football favours penetration over possession. Philosophy is a guiding principle that will guide us in your decision-making.
- Jed's top objectives of the game:
- Score a goal
- Assist
- Assist the assist
- Jed says if you can't do first three, do the next level of objectives, in which you the ball into specific areas. What are the best positions to get the ball into?
- Behind the opposition's central defenders
- Behind the opposition's fallbacks
- In front of the opposition's central defenders
- In front of the opposition's fallbacks
- Behind opposition's central midfielders
- Behind the midfield line
- The opposition will do everything to prevent you from scoring. According to Jed, they'll do 3 things: compact horizontally, compact vertically, and create layers in between.
- What is our philosophy of the game when they're preventing you from winning? Move the opposition vertically. Move the opposition horizontally. Reduce the layering.
- There's a direct correlation between the penetrative passes and the success of the team.
- Advanced platforms are positions where you can make a penetrative pass.
BEST MOMENTS
- “We're often guilty of looking for the answer of what we want in obvious places. Obvious places give obvious answers but they may not give us the right answers.”
- “That's what a philosophy is… it almost overrides or encompasses the situational specifics of the game.”
- “The team that makes more penetrative passes wins the game.”
