Transcription

what's going on guys welcome back to

another video and we have an absolutely

massive one today we're going to be

doing a tactical breakdown of the new

Chelsea manager Enzo moresa now this

video has taken absolutely ages to get

together I've done hours and hours of

research over the last two days on Enzo

moresa watching videos reading articles

listening to the man himself and in this

video we're going to go through right at

the beginning his career to see what

diverse experience he's had because he's

worked under a lot of different managers

we're then going to go through his

tactical philosophy what are his ideas

and the different variations that he has

shown and then we're going to collate it

to Chelsea we're going to show how

Chelsea could set up under Enzo moresa

under the different variations that

we've seen so far in his career as well

as adapting to the skill sets of the

Chelsea Squad so before we get into it

please can I ask you guys to like the

video I want to try and get to 500 likes

in this video it's ambitious Target but

this video has taken so so long so much

research to bring it all together so I'd

really appreciate the support and also

make sure to subscribe to get us closer

to 10,000 subscribers and comment down

below what your thoughts on Enzo mesa's

appointment are so firstly I wanted to

delve into Enzo mesa's career both as a

player and a manager because I think

he's had a lot of diverse learning

experiences under lots of different

coaches that would have lended him lots

of different views on the game the first

thing we're going to go into actually

before we go into his youth career is

talking about an Italian University a

coaching Center that he attended called

K chano and within that University and

excuse my pronunciation if it's wrong he

wrote a thesis and the title of that

thesis was football and chess and this

fits exactly what we've heard about Enzo

moresa perfectly and the fact you were a

thesis on it just really personifies it

altogether within that thesis he had a

quote and he said there are a lot of

similarities the most important is

positional play and strategy for a coach

it's important to have the mentality of

a chess player three things develop a

plan study counter moves and choose the

arrangement of the pieces so when people

have made these comparisons between Enzo

moresca football and chess the man has

said it himself and even wrote a thesis

about it he sees the game as a chess

board and it's why he's heralded so much

for his positional play and tactical

approach so talking about his playing

career he actually started off in the 18

Milan Youth Academy and played as like a

number six and a number eight now

interestingly he actually shared a team

of Roberto derer who played as a number

10 at the time in the a Milan youth team

so they have played together at 18 years

old he actually made a very big move to

West Brom so he threw himself completely

out of his comfort zone from Italy to

the championship and very interestingly

in that time do you know who else was at

West Brom gram Potter and they actually

carpooled together they talked about it

in an interview so they were very very

good friends the old Chelsea manager and

the now current Chelsea manager after

West Brom he went to Juventus where he

was coached by Carlo an chelotti and you

all know who Enzo Moresco was the

assistant manager to him we'll talk

about it to later very varying

philosophies there between Pep Guardiola

and Carlo angelotti so he's been under

the tutelage of both he then went to

Fiorentina in Italy and then switched

over to Sevilla where he made his most

appearances in his career and of course

Sevilla is in Spain so that's another

country he's gone to clearly going out

of his comfort zone and then he also

ended up going to Olympiacos later in

his career and we all know how mental

the fans are there overall in his career

he ended up with a Syria title two UFA

cups and a cadell race so even though he

wasn't you know the most legendary of

football players in the world he still

had a very good career moving around

different clubs gaining loads of

different experiences different cultures

he seen it all now moving on to his

coaching career one of the jobs that he

had was he was actually in the coaching

staff of Manuel Pelini at West Ham in

around 2018 of course Pelini has a huge

pedigree having won the Premier League

with Manchester City and actually Enzo

moresa played under Pelini at Malaga and

at the time Wally was a player Pelini

told moresa that he would be a very very

good coach and then as you can see he

bought him onto his coaching staff in

2018 then in 2020 Pep Guardiola himself

recruited Enzo moresa into Manchester

City and he took charge of Manchester

City's Elite development Squad taking

charge of their under 23s and in his

first and only season he won the pl2 the

Premier League 2 which is the

competition for the under 23s he only

lost two games and coached the likes of

Cole Palmer and Romeo Lavia who we

obviously know are at Chelsea right now

also Joe Shields was at Manchester City

at the time so he had an perfect view of

Enzo mesa's work then after that he

actually went and joined Palmer in Seri

B and this was a pretty bad spell for

him his first senior job and it ended

after 14 games mesco has spoken about it

himself and he said that actually he

thought that they were building

something and he got slacked too early

and he also had to integrate 14

different players all speaking different

languages so a bit of context to the

situation but also if we're honest quite

a poor spell that has to be included in

the risk factor of appointing someone

with not much experience but after that

Pep Guardiola bought him back and bought

him into his coaching staff in the first

team and everyone knows what they did

last season well I guess now the season

before because the Premier League season

has finished they won the treble so I

think he has pretty good experience

there in the Premier League playing 38

games winning pretty much every game of

the season being the fin of huge

competitions and working under Pep

Guardiola I mean do I have to explain it

he clearly learned loads under pep and a

treble is not something bad to have in

your trophy cabinet and then of course

as we all know he joined Leicester last

season and ended up having his first

full season in the senior game and it

ended very very well with Leicester

finishing top of the championship on 97

points obviously you probably add the

context that they had by far the best

Squad in the championship but at the end

of the day he still had to get them

promoted and he even got first place so

now let's move on to the more tactical

side and talk about Enzo maresco's style

of play essentially his style of play is

completely based around keeping the ball

and having possession I watched back his

first press conference as Leicester

manager and a reporter asked him what is

your style of play and he very simply

answered have the ball so that's exactly

what he wants to do he even spoke about

himself about when he was a player when

he was playing for Seva and Malaga he

actually came up against pep guardiola's

Barcelona and that's when he kind of

fell in love what Guardiola was doing

and you can easily see that in his style

of play and of course with the fact that

he was literally assistant manager under

prep Guardiola there's a very direct

link there but Enz mesa's style of play

he ideally likes to build up in a 325 or

3223 basically inverting a fullback into

the middle creating a box Midfield

isolating the Wingers out wide and

having the strikers up top the idea of

this system is all about controlling the

game creating chances creating overloads

in the Middle with that box Midfield

isolating the Wingers and mainly scoring

goals now one point I want to make is

about where the sustained pressure of

this possession is a lot of the teams

that play this style of system of the

ilk of Pep Guardiola are thought of as

teams that want to box the opposition in

and keep them in their final third and

this is the case under Enzo meski he's

talked about how much he wants to keep

possession to break down teams however I

don't think it's the be all and end all

for his team he likes to start his build

up very very deep he's not purely

focused on boxing the team in and I

think this is reflected in the

statistics so if we look at the field

tilt field tilt is a statistic that

basically shows how much your team boxes

the opposition in it measures sustained

possession in the opposition's final

third and teams like Manchester City and

Arsenal obviously under Metta have very

very high percentage field Tils and if

we look at Leicester they also have a

very high field tilt they have a 61.6 7

percentage however if we look on the

statistic you'll see that Southampton

have a 67.5%

so this shows the Lesser do have a big

onus on boxing teams in creating

sustained pressure and breaking them

down as I said however also I think one

thing that's needs to be pointed out is

they also focus on deep buildup a lot

and if you watch Leicester you'll see

they often start with their goalkeeper

and their complete focus is not always

on boxing teams in they often like to

have a bit of space for the people in

the half spaces and they like to

sometimes create transition through

their buildup now Enzo moresa has shown

variation to his ways from the 3 to5

buildup that we spoke about earlier at

Palmer he actually sometimes

Incorporated a 235 buildup as you can

see on screen where he would invert both

the right back and the left back into

Midfield to essentially become Right

Center mids and left Center mids and

this would really box the teams in now

within his system with the 325 of course

a lot of the talk is about how much

attacking has done breaking through the

lines and trying to score goals but one

thing that I personally really like with

Enzo moresa and needs dealing with at

Chelsea because our defense last season

was terrible we broke Chelsea records

for the worst defense we've ever had in

premier league history well luckily Enz

RCA focuses a lot just as much as his

system creates attack it also creates

defense and a big part of his system is

counter pressing by inverting the

fullback and packing the middle it means

that when they lose the ball they can

very quickly regain possession and not

only that but when possession can't be

regained immediately he's very on his

players to make sure they get back into

position specifically the fullback let's

say the right back who is inverted into

Midfield they have to come back into

their position very very quickly to

defend transitions transitions was a

problem for Leicester last season

however it's something that Enzo moresa

does know is the case and there's always

going to be some negatives of a system

you can't just cancel out any possible

way of playing against it so transitions

is a slight problem but at Chelsea

there's quicker Defenders than they have

at Leicester for example Wesley fana

maybe Levi Cowell Trevor Chala if he

stays so should be better dealt with

overall off the ball Enzo moresa usually

defends in a

4141 sometimes it becomes a 442 or a 451

but that is his main block and often

what he'll like to do is actually have

the Wingers press inwardly and try and

come inside and narrow the opposition

team when they have the ball in the

middle of the pitch this makes them play

into the traffic where he has lots of

numbers in the middle and means that

they can regain possession quickly

however along with that a way that

endesa likes to go about it is actually

setting a man-to-man press within that

off the- ball system and this can be

very effective again at regaining the

ball really really quickly but also so

if you watch some leester games

sometimes it means that the center backs

are a bit out of position sometimes

they're following midfielders or

Strikers when they've dropped deep and

it sometimes leaves a very very weird

setup at the back where sometimes the

fullbacks become the center backs so a

manto Man Press has its positives and

negatives but you often see Enz and

reska deploying a man to man press

within a 4141 or a 442 off the ball

shape so let's hone in on one of the

main philosophies within his system and

that is inverting the fullback he's very

very rigid almost very clear on his

system and it almost always includes

inverting a fullback at leester he

inverted a fullback every single game

and there's two main reasons he does

this as we said one of them is a big

onus on defending and this helps with

counter pressing as I already said it

packs the middle and means they can win

the ball back very very quickly but it

also helps with transition so Enz moresa

himself outlined on the coach's voice

how when he inverts a fullback he ends

up with a 32 back spine and that means

he has five players defending

transitions as opposed to a lot of

systems like a 43 three where you end up

with both fullbacks pushing forwards and

then you end up with only the defensive

midfielder and the two center backs

defending transitions so only three in a

4-2 31 you have the double pivot so it

ends up being a four but in Enzo moresa

system his idea is to create five men to

help defend transition now obviously

hugely there's the attacking end as well

and by inverting a fullback he creates

that double pivot he moves a midfielder

further forwards and then two

midfielders end up adopting the half

space and you get that you know Almost

Famous at this point box Midfield

getting those midfielders in the half

space means you can break the lines with

let's say a Levi coell and then you just

end up creating attacks after attacks

after attacks it's not just the Box

Midfield but it also means that the

Wingers out wide stay on the touch line

and are very isolated against the

fullback and then you back your Winger

to win their 1 V ones and if we look at

Chelsea you have mudri mad Sterling and

who knows maybe Michael Alis maybe we

sign a left Winger a lot of players that

like to go 1 V one and within this

system the whole point with this box

Midfield is a cre overloads in the

middle you often end up with a four

versus three in Midfield and it's all

about finding that extra man and

breaking through the lines but within

that obviously the opposition make their

own moves and sometimes you'll see a

center back follow one of the

midfielders into the half bace to create

a four versus four but in this situation

he likes to get the striker involved and

then it creates a five versus four with

the striker dropping in into that

Midfield block and creating another

overload and again a spare man but even

within that when the center back moves

to follow the midfielder into the half

space whether the striker joins or not

you end up with a three versus three on

the opposition's back line with both

your Wingers isolated against the

fullback and the striker isolated

against a center back and this creates

huge spaces in behind the opposition's

defensive line so with a lot of the ways

this system goes and a lot of the ways

the opposition like to combat it there's

a lot of ways around it now as I said

Enzo moresa is very set in stone with

his philosophy and a very key player

within that is the goalkeeper and I

think a very good example of how set in

stone he is with that is a quote he has

has on his goalkeeper we won a lot of

games because of Mads they goalkeeper

but what cannot happen is he starts

playing long balls if that happens we'll

bring in the second goalkeeper now this

is a slightly comical but it's a really

good indictment and a showing of how

strict he is on his philosophy and he

wants his team to play a very specific

way I've spoken about how there's some

positives from that and there can also

be shortcomings if you're so set in

stone on the philosophy at the end of

the day that is mesco ball and he's very

very set in stone so let's move on to

how the system will actually look and

how it will apply to Chelsea before we

get into the specific Chelsea players I

want to go through each position in his

on theball system and talk about what

the requirements are and what the idea

is behind the role so the goalkeeper is

absolutely pivotal to mer ball and we

already talked about how the goalkeeper

can end up adopting a right center back

position if they're adopting a very high

press pushing onto the three Center back

so the goalkeeper has to be very Adept

on the ball creating a lot of short

passes clipping it out sometimes to the

wide Center back and every now and then

even though moresa said he doesn't want

his goaler to play long balls you do see

a long ball in behind for the Wingers

that are high and wide cuz often they

space in behind moving on to the three

center backs they are three wide center

backs one Center back in the middle and

then two center backs pulling out wide

not fully as fullbacks but trying to

create the space to create the Angles

and try to break the lines towards the

players in the half space then if you

move into the middle you have the

natural midfielder and the inverted

fullback these two play very very close

to each other and we're going to talk

about it more now about how Chelsea

players fit into that but you talk about

Enzo and cedo they love to play really

really close to each other create

intricate passes create angles and try

and break through the lines as we said

obviously the midfielders have to be

very Adept on the ball recycling the

ball and breaking lines of course then

if you move forwards you have the

players in the half space that are

trying to get in those Pockets between

the opposition's defensive line and

their Midfield line and these are kind

of your most technical players they need

to pick up the ball on the turn and then

try and play through a Winger or a

striker or just go themselves next to

them you obviously have the high and

wide Wingers who are there almost purely

for isolation 1 V ons and this I

absolutely love you'll see them hugging

the touch line high and wide potentially

running in behind the defense but often

picking up the ball and just taking on

their fullback and trying to leave them

for dead before creating a cut back or

cutting in themselves and scoring a goal

and then you've got the striker who kind

of has a multifaceted role of course we

look at Pep Guardiola now he has Harland

he uses his aerial threat before that he

had more of a center forward like Aguero

Jesus you see obviously Jesus and havs

at Arsenal and these are very very

similar systems to what Enz mesu is

going to do at leester he had very

similar we Ki iacho and patson Daka who

were probably more involved in buildup

especially iatro and then Jamie vardy

who likes to just run on so it kind of

depends on the game what kind of player

Moresco wants in his position whether he

wants a pure poacher or if he thinks

that the opposition are going to

man-to-man press the midfielders into

the half space he might want a striker

who's more ad Dept on the ball such as I

mean our Strikers fit it very well

Nicholas Jackson Christopher and kungu

to come into that Midfield Zone create a

five versus 4 overload and get on the

ball so now let's move on to how this

will actually fit in at Chelsea with the

specific players in the Chelsey Squad to

start this off I'm going to be using

just players that are at Chelsea right

now you'll see in the later templates

and I have about seven or eight

variations of what Enzo moresa can do

with the Chelsea Squad I'm going to

bring in actually a couple signings that

fit what Enzo moresa wants to do a bit

more than the current Chelsea players

here but to start off to keep it simple

let's keep the current members of the

Chelsea Squad and we're going to be

looking at the on the ball setup so in

that 325 setup and just a quick

disclaimer in the lineup Builder that I

was using the Wingers didn't really have

space to move higher up the pitch but

Enzo Resa does want his Wingers to be

high and wide so just imagine them a bit

further up the pitch so we're going to

build up with these different lineup

variations and end up with my ideal one

and what I think will be used so firstly

I think we actually have to talk about

an Enzo Fernandez and Moises kaiso

dilemma because as we've said Enzo

moresa really likes to invert his

fullback there wasn't a single game at

Lester where he didn't invert his

fullback and this creates a slight issue

because Enzo and ciso are thought as two

players that just beautifully fit in

within that double pivot and excellent

at progressing the ball however the

problem is that as I said Enzo moresa

wants to invert a fullback so there's

only really space for one midfielder in

that pivot so the first variation we're

going to look into actually doesn't have

Moises kaiso and the reason for that is

we're going to put Enzo in that sort of

Harry Winks role as at number six and

Reese James is going to invert petravic

in goal chalar at Central Center back

and we're going to change that up later

Levi Cole at left Center back Wesley

fana has miraculously stayed injury-free

and is at right center back mad and

mudri are going to be a high and wide

Wingers obviously we may see additions

there we may see Sterling play on that

left wing instead and then as I said

Enzo Fernandez and Rees James in that

middle with the beautiful just the

absolutely beautiful Christopher and

kungu in the left half space Cole Palmer

in the right half space I mean we're

going to talk about different variations

and why that might not end up happening

given the Enzo Fernandez and Moes kaiso

dilemma however those two players in the

half spaces are going to cause teams

such big problems and then of course we

have Nicholas Jackson up front so this

is a variation where you don't have

kaiso because you want to get in conent

Palmer into the half spaces now of

course let's not take the mick Moises

kaiso was one of our best players last

season so he will obviously be starting

Enzo mesa's team however you have to ask

how are you going to fit him in and well

we can actually go off something that

Enz moresa did at Leicester because at

Leicester he had Wilfred and Dee playing

in the right half space and Dee a player

to most premier league fans who didn't

watch ler in the championship think of

him as an outright defensive midfielder

and en moresa kind of changed his game

and not only did he play a person who's

not used to playing in the attacking

positions in that right half space but

he actually had a slightly adaptive role

which is why I think it could could fit

Moises kaiso and that was not purely

playing in the right half space but

often in buildup coming slightly deeper

not to the level of of Harry winks and

Ricardo pereiro within his system who is

the inverted fullback but much deeper

than Ken and drewb Hall who often stayed

up in that left half space and if Enz

moresa is happy to give that freedom to

the player in the half spaces maybe a

player that isn't as used to attacking

like inun Palmer then you could

definitely see Moises kaiso in this role

and if we've seen Moises kaedo this

season and even at Brighton we know that

as much as he is a six and is very very

very good in that deep buildup phase

he's also a player that is very very

well-round I mean that's what you should

get for a player of the price that we

bought him for and he can attack very

well a lot of people think he's actually

better as a box tobox midfielder so in

this variation you can see that Moes

kaiso could play in that right half

space equally and this is my chosen

variation this is the one I've taken you

through two perspective templates but

this is the one that I think and I would

go for under moresa system before I give

you a slightly Adaptive One next what I

would do is do the same but have Enzo

Fernandez in that left half space and

put Co Palmer in the right half space

there are a couple reasons for this

again because Mesa did give Indi

slightly more freedom and not force him

to play in the right half space even

though it didn't really fit him I think

this is something that he could do with

Enzo Fernandez now I'm someone who loves

Enzo in that deeper position and I want

him to be honest in that Harry Wink's

role but the fact that we have a player

of Moises kao's caliber he has to be on

the pitch he's an absolute differen

maker and he's also more defensively

Adept than Enzo Fernandez Enzo gets

really run over in transition which is a

thing that moresa teams struggle against

and he doesn't quite have the defensive

nous the tackling the Moes cedo does the

ability to spot an interception from

amalay and cedo of course is extremely

extremely good at buildup so ciso and

Reese James in that Midfield Reese

inverting from from fullback obviously

we know Reese is quality he's absolutely

exceptional played in Midfield actually

for wigin so he has experience in this

position and I think would fit it to an

absolute T and then remove Enzo

Fernandez into that left half space as I

said with a bit more freedom not like

Cole Palmer who you'd expect to kind of

stay in that zone try and get into

attacking spaces but Enzo should be in

that left half space to get the ball in

dangerous positions and to cut open

teams not just from Deep not just with

long balls but actually playing that key

pass that will put them straight through

on goal making an difference but also he

has that freedom to drop a bit deeper if

he wants to pick up the ball circulate

the ball a bit spay a long ball over to

the right winger anyone running in

behind so I think if Enzo Fernandez is

given the freedom in the in this left

half space position it won't be the

attacking midfielder role that we saw

under poino fenzo Fernandez that clearly

limited his ability that made him

constantly try and be in the position on

the turn that doesn't suit him yes he

will be on the turn in this left half

space in a lot of scenarios however if

he's given more freedom I think he able

to work around it a lot better sometimes

he'll be on the turn but we know he has

a technical ability to deal with it but

also it means he'll pick up the ball in

very very attacking situations as I said

Play The Killer pass but have the

freedom to still be involved in buildup

another thing with this change that I

like is that if you put kaiso in that

right half space it means that C Palmer

moves over to the left half space and I

just think that even though C Palmer is

obviously such an Adept incredible

footballer that can affect the pitch in

any Zone you put him in you just want to

put him in his best position to thrive

and he likes to cut in onto his left

foot on the right hand side so I think

it's better to put him there now

obviously with this system Nicholas

Jackson does get dropped who obviously

has had a great season for Chelsea and

it's not someone that I want to drop

however it's just the personnel and how

it fits will obviously from game to game

change our system and Jackson will still

get a lot of minutes and heck we're

probably going to sign a striker and we

should sign a striker so there'll be

huge huge Personnel changes we'll be

playing in Europe in the conference

League hope hopefully so it's not set in

stone who plays there but in kungu

playing in that nine as much as I want

him in that left half space and I'm

going to give a variation next where he

is that nine with Enzo moresa wanting

the striker to get involved in buildup

fits in kungu perfectly he can drop in

create that five versus four overload if

necessary just get involved in the play

and then be in that box to finish off as

we know he does so well now I want to

give quite a big variation and it's

actually what would be my personal

preferred setup it's just we haven't

seen Enzo moresa do this yet within his

managerial career so I can't really say

that he is going to do it but I think

that the best use of the skill sets in

this team is to create that Enzo and

Moises cedo double pivot because I think

having them so close together in buildup

is exactly what you want to do they are

so technically proficient and they will

play through any team and then what I

think you should do is have Rees James

hold that high and wide position because

Reese James in Midfield of course he

will fit absolutely perfectly and I

think we could see a different facet to

his game that we haven't seen yet with

his physicality but also bombing up and

down the right hand side getting crosses

in is Reese james' bread and butter and

to get rid of that just it just hurts to

get rid of it that's what I want to see

and I think that re James can hold that

high and wide position very very well

create a slightly different threat and

then you still have Enzo and cis's

Technical Proficiency in that double

pivot playing very very close to each

other we haven't seen Enzo moresa do

this but maybe he will incorporate this

variation now I want to flash on screen

a potential signing that we could see

under Enzo moresa to fit his system

slightly better on the last one we were

having cell left Center back trala

Central Center back and fana Right

Center back however Trevor trala is

likely to to leave and also don't think

he fits Central Center back to an

absolute T so what I think we could do

is actually sign someone like jel hoo or

and he's not on this graphic but maybe

someone like Ricardo calafiori I haven't

included calafiori because he seems to

be going to Juventus but this is a

center back left back hybrid who would

be off the ball in that left back

position but on the ball in convert into

left Center back and I think that a

player of the ilk of jelto cafy or even

from the academy Isa Samuel Smith who I

think is a top top prospect and fits

this skill set to an absolute te I think

would fit Enzo mesa's style of play

really really well jelto is a fantastic

player really athletic aggressive great

passing rid great 1 V one footwork he

would fit this position to an absolute T

equally you could keep Levi Co at left

Center back and I haven't put this in

the graphic but you could sign a Central

Center back and Chelsea are clearly

going to sign a right center back

Central Center back hybrid anyway but

players that could fit that for example

we've been linked to tosen adabo who

we've offered a contract to he is very

good on the ball so he could fit there

very tall as well but also I'd say from

my scouting Lenny yoro would be an

absolutely fantastic signing for Chelsea

he could fit right center back or

Central Center back for liil he plays in

a back four so we haven't seen him in

this system yet but I think that he has

what it takes to play in that Central

Center back system and also another

player is scalvini who plays for Atlanta

he actually plays in a back five system

for Atlanta but I haven't actually seen

him play yet in that Central Center back

position he usually plays either right

center back or left Center back so again

if you sign him you have the clear

option he'll fit right center back

absolutely perfectly but from watching

him myself I do think he would fit that

Central Center back mold as well so you

have a couple different options to fit

the skill set that Enzo moresa wants

within his play style perfectly now I'm

going to give you a huge huge wild card

that maybe Enzo Mesa could pull out the

bag as we said there is a big kaiso and

Enzo Fernandez debacle because it's

pretty hard to fit them both on the

pitch at the same time if you're going

to invert a fullback now another way

around that that we haven't mentioned

yet he's actually having cedo play as a

fullback and invert into Midfield now

there are obviously quite a few problems

with this and I personally wouldn't

recommend it because I think you're just

messing around with it too much however

we did see Enzo moresa Leicester play

Hamza Chow actually as a fullback and

have him invert into Midfield at times

as well which is exactly the same as

what kaiso could do in this system so

actually where we'd have kaiso in the

system as you can see in the graphic is

as a left back the reason for that is is

because of Reese James I'm sorry but you

can't invert kaiso from right back

because you ain't dropping Reese James

and also you ain't dropping Malo Gusto

let's not forget about Gusto either who

was close to our player of the Season

had an absolutely fantastic campaign so

you would have to invert Moises kaiso

from left back which makes it even more

an ideal however it does mean you get

that kaiso Enzo pivot you get in kunu

and Palmer in the half spaces and you

get Jackson up top which I think is like

the ideal setup however again the

problems with this is it's just a bit

too intricate off the ball Mo kais would

have to dash back to left back which is

a position that he's not used to filling

in he'd have to defend 1 V one against

right Wingers he may be a very good

defender in Midfield but it's very

different to defend 1 V one I against a

touchline than it is in the traffic when

you can read and just inceptions also

from a height perspective is not ideal

mooses ciso is not the tallest so it

would make our backline just that little

bit shorter so I personally don't think

this variation is the way to go but

equally I wouldn't hate if we tried it

maybe in a cup game just to see how it

would work because I really want kaiso

and Enzo in that pivot together just

having them work so close together in

such a narrow pivot I think could work

really really well now the last on the

ball variation that I want to show is

something that we mentioned earlier

which is when the opposition are really

putting on a high press against Enzo

mesa's team what moresa likes to do in

this situation is to create a tactical

tweak where he brings the goalkeeper

into the right center back position as

we spoke about earlier so we have that

on screen right now and I've actually

changed the goalkeeper again just like I

did with Jal hater where I think he'd

fit the position more than the current

options we have now I also think someone

like bulka would fit that position a bit

more than pvic or Sanchez Sanchez who is

the most calamitous goaler I've ever

seen and pic who has improved on the

ball but realisticly moresa wants more

from goalkeepers there are obviously

other options you have bulker as I said

Bento Dogo Costa chavalier from Lil who

I really really like melea and recently

we've actually been linked to Jorgenson

from vill Royale and mmad dash who's my

Georgian brother I'm Georgian myself so

it'd be cool to see him come to Chelsea

but we will likely see a goalkeeping

acquisition my shout would be bulka and

I also really like chaler sevila and

Bento as I've already said but this is

how it would look when the goalkeeper

comes into Right Center back to create a

back four to give you that extra man so

that you're not overloaded from the

opposition's Press so the last thing

we're going to talk about now is how Enz

moresa will set up off the ball as you

can see with the Chelsea team here I've

set them up in a 4141 Enz moresa likes

to either press off the ball with a 4141

a 451 or a 442 and this is realistically

how it would look like you can also see

this at Lester with the photo on screen

now that shows them pressing in a 442

with jub Hall as d Cole Palmer would

obviously just move up from the photo I

showed you earlier to create that two

Strikers up top if need be and within

their off the ball press what Lester

like to do is try and either push the

opposition onto one side of the pitch as

you can see on your screen now to try

and really cone in on them and make a

really really intense press another

thing they like to do when the

opposition has the ball in the middle of

the pitch with their Central Center back

let's say they like their Wingers as I

said earlier to do an inwards press try

to make the team be really really narrow

and force him to play through the

traffic in the middle of the pitch where

our Midfield overload will hopefully win

the ball and launch a Counterattack

anyway that is that for this video an

absolutely bumper video I have no idea

how long it's going to end up being but

I really do hope you enjoyed it it took

so so much work so again if you're still
