Bruno Oliveira:<\/strong> Many times we try to create, invent, or follow trends, and we experience a sense of vertigo. For me, I don\u2019t have that vertigo because I always play the same way.<\/p>\n However, I see many coaches copying others, and I have copied many things as well. If I like it, I try to implement it.<\/strong> But there\u2019s this vertigo in constantly following trends\u2014like, De Zerbi<\/strong> builds from the back, then it\u2019s Guardiola<\/strong>, and then Mourinho<\/strong>. As I mentioned, sometimes we lose sight of what is important and essential.<\/p>\n What I observe, especially, is that people try to implement strategies that their players can\u2019t execute.<\/strong> They try to force a certain style of play that, based on the characteristics of the squad, simply isn\u2019t feasible. This follows the trend.<\/p>\n Today, if you start a goal kick with a long ball, you\u2019re considered a failure; you cannot start a goal kick by kicking a long ball because\u2026<\/p>\n Miguel:<\/strong> Bruno Oliveira:<\/strong> Miguel:<\/strong> Bruno Oliveira:<\/strong> It\u2019s much easier than forcing a system that they aren\u2019t accustomed to or that their characteristics don\u2019t allow. For instance, if you have solid defenders who excel at defending, why would you place a midfielder in a centre-back position? For me, there are certain concepts that were developed in specific contexts that I understand.<\/p>\n When you have elite players in every position, you can be like Picasso.<\/strong> But when you have average players\u2014I wouldn\u2019t categorize them as good or bad, just ordinary\u2014you need to respect the type of player you have and recognize what they can and cannot do.<\/strong> As coaches, we should never lose sight of that reality.<\/p>\n A good example is the number of goals we see every day. You turn on the TV, and you watch various match highlights. You witness a plethora of mistakes during the build-up play.<\/strong><\/p>\n The other team receives the ball and often scores with just one touch\u2014a poor pass or the player intended to pass to the keeper but accidentally passed to a striker instead. I think you understand where I\u2019m going with this; there are many mistakes occurring daily.<\/p>\n The question should be: as a coach, how many goals am I scoring from short build-ups?<\/strong> How many real chances am I creating through this method, and how many chances against myself have I conceded from short build-ups?<\/strong> I believe the numbers would be quite revealing.<\/p>\n I agree with your observations regarding Spain. I didn\u2019t watch many Euro games, but I did see Spain play. I enjoyed it; I found the isolation of the wingers interesting.<\/p>\n They aimed for 1v1 situations on the wing, promoting skillful and fast wingers, maintaining a good balance in the midfield. They were strong and physical when necessary, and they executed tactical fouls strategically.<\/p>\n They exhibit good principles and a consistency that I admire.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6149,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6084","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tacticalperiodisation.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6084","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tacticalperiodisation.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tacticalperiodisation.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tacticalperiodisation.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tacticalperiodisation.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6084"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.tacticalperiodisation.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6084\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6377,"href":"https:\/\/www.tacticalperiodisation.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6084\/revisions\/6377"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tacticalperiodisation.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6149"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tacticalperiodisation.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tacticalperiodisation.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6084"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tacticalperiodisation.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nIf it\u2019s a long pass, it\u2019s not even considered a build-up.<\/p>\n
\nRight, if it\u2019s a long pass, it\u2019s almost a sin. And this is where I\u2026<\/p>\n
\nIt has to be a pass.<\/p>\n
\nThis is something I personally don\u2019t subscribe to. I focus on getting the best out of the players I have.<\/strong> Increasingly, I prefer to take cues from my players and build from their strengths.<\/p>\n
