Late comment but characterising this psg system by position is wrong, they play a 3-1-6, Pinner-floater-anchor system, they will always build up In a 3 with either Mendes/vitinha in the 3, neves/ruiz as the replacing anchor if Vitinha drops into the 3, Vitinha dropping into the 3 allows Mendes to push forward. It's also important to note that they completely ignore zone 14 and are more obsessed with the idea of having all players occupy all 5 vertical attacking lanes of the pitch. Defacto, Vitinha is more than likely always their anchor, hakimi and kvara as the pinners(width holders) and Ruiz, neves, doue and dembele as the floaters.
Yes they have broken football to a certain extent, but also this system cannot be replicated with a different profile of front 3. High IQ, being strong off both feet and having the ability to be tactically competent when occupying different vertical attacking lanes( only applies to floaters) is massively important.
Enrique is a genius

Super insightful. You seem to look at the game like a poker player would. Thinking steps ahead and how one action creates different types of options later on. A lot of what we coach in football is based on habit, like the wide free kick and not just crossing it straight in because 'it's what youre supposed to do'

you should watch several matchs of PSG this season where Doué plays as midfielder, and Ruiz is out. Barcola and Kvara or someone else on the wings. Doué acts as a 2nd winger support on each side and attack midfielder. PSG becomes even more powerful.

starting watching as im interested in luis Enrique tactics, you lost me 5' in, scrolled a lot, got bored at the end, lost what you are on about. Advice: Script what you want to say and proof read it. negative vote from me.

This is call team work. Imagine Mbappe or Neymar in the current team. There is gonna be full of egos. No team work.

PSG is now better as a team.

Good video.

Maybe the blame it's on the translation of the title to Portuguese. If so, disregard this part but what's happening is cyclical. In fact, two seasons ago Fernando Diniz won the Libertadores with elements (freedom) of this. Brazil always played like this and since our coaches tried to be "more European" and copy the rigidity trend we went downhill. Not even the 7x1 taught them anything.

Back to video, Ancelotti always (his MIlan side was like this) gave this freedom of movement and creation once his teams were on the attack. But to overvalue Pepe and the trend of control freaks, it was agreed (Punditis, fans AND tacticos) that he had no tactics acumen and was just a "the power of friendship" merchant.

In fact, more than his qualities as a coach, the secret to Guradiola's success was convincing the world and his opponents that they could only win with his style. It is no coincidence that the only coaches who defeated him (and with MUCH less $$ spent) were Klopp and Ancelotti. Each in their own way, both always thought outside the box and were not poorly made copies of Pepe

Obs: Hakimi blocking It´s a normal occurrence in every game and is not premeditated at all. It is a coincidence that always happens

PSG only team Ive watched this season and thought wow, well rounded got it all. Will be some game against Arsenal

@AndyL29382

Hi, James! Your content is top class. Now, hearing you say that L.Enrique trusts his players to do their thing and take on the opponent I remembered of marshal Foch's view on the importance of spirit, audacity, initiative and speed of action in the moment. 'The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire' (in sports at least)

Never thought the day would come where QSG would actually become likeable. Biggest twist of the season.

you need to increase your sound input

@redwall1521

Can't believe we hired Maresca over Enrique!

@DanielBarhemula

Aston Villa played like farmers. They just stayed behind the whole time. Ironic when most Premiere League fans like to depict the French league as the "farmers league"

@suisgrand6752
@

Why is sound is so low on ur video

@ronaldinho1458
@

As a PSG fan, it was supposed to just be the first year of a long term project, we expected to have this level maybe in two years minimum. This squad is the youngest in the UCL KO stages man, we have years in front of us. Luis Enrique has done miracles on us.

@RaKunYT

the video is really intresting, but the volume is super low, could you increase volume for next time please ?

We are unstoppable in UCL - GIVE ME BARCA NOW!

@fillfreire2169

Noise level 🤷🏻‍♂️ can’t hear you much..

@souletdavid8800

I asked YouTube for football videos but it’s talking about soccer..😈. JK ALLER PARIS!!! Paris est Magique!!!

@iamdarrenbelizaire

Hakimi has been moving up a lot recently

@doezage

It seems like Barcelona and psg are playing the same the this year the amount of players Barcelona has attacking the box is insane

You have to do a featuring with our French Youtuber Wiloo, if i dont mess he speaks english

@nmyoutubeadress

Just found your pod and really enjoyed the analysis and content
Plenty of comments regarding PSG & the influence of LE so I don’t need to add any more apart from one of the most enjoyable games I’ve watched in years!

@gripper58
@

Didier Deschamps does the same.
8 defenders and 3 guys doing whatever they want.

@j.goggels9115
@

In addition to the tactics, Louis Enrique chose players who are all versatile and can change positions at any time during the match. This makes them unpredictable. Even the players on the bench can play in different positions

@phival2003
@

What is the app that you use name pls

@mohamedhamed-ov3ej
@

Dembele plays a hybrid position. A bit unorthodox very hard to stop him

@nyatism7361
@

Positional play is only for players who need to be told what to do and by a manager who thinks their plan is foolproof. The best players understand the game and react and place themselves situationally to remain at advantage over their opponent so while they do have structure they aren't too fixed which allows them the flexibility to create advantages. Sometimes you'll have to stretch wide and other times you may have to smother a region. Read and anticipate the game and most times you'll play the best to your ability. It combines teamwork and individual brilliance and it's such a joy to watch this form of football

@800iq2

Sincerely speaking Paris is playing the football we use to know back then tactics skill and discipline

@oronsayepaul6709

This team has dynastic potential.

@borussia_teeth
@

villa got it right up to now in the champions league, they looked shaken v PSG giving sloppy passes to each other, need to fix that issue for the next match also need more pace getting forward, tielmanns treading passes through the middle isnt going to work against PSG, we've seen that in the last match, watkins always waits for the same balls so easy to read him when he's on, they've got that match to work off now to analyze which emery does so well, im expecting a good performance from villa, especially at home

@CountOlaf-j9r
@

I would love PSG if they didn't face English teams (who I usually support in European competitions)

If they were in the other draw, I would honestly be rooting for them along with Barcelona too

@RobertSanchez01
@

Sound is too low

@Waxandpads
@

Villa we're doing well until Cash came off for Disasi.
He was so slow on the ball that they got hemmed in again and again.

@MattB-o1h

PSG Vs Inter would be tactically very interesting.

PSG vs Barcelona would be Explosiveeeee

@renickjeune8761

Nice video but you need to speak louper or adjust your microphone

@Scofield92-rl1xt
@

love it, so interesting to analyse this team

Outstanding work

@NickWisdom07
@

Are we seeing a "new" football and where everyone will copy Luis Enrique? I think this team is still too young and they won't be able to compete with the Barcelona machine or even Inter. Bayern has too many absentees.

@nimocash3535
@

Okay. I love the analysis from this guy and yes psg individualism is wonderful to watch. But again isn't that the same thing Real does and look what happened to them against a ball playing team.

@11robinho07
@

Nice, I like your analysis. Thank you. Quick suggestion, please don't use dark/light colors for both teams, if you make light and dark it will make viewers to distinguish teams easily.

@Udhay105
@

just a technical feedback, your audio is too low, way too low, i don't know your workflow but it doesn't mean necessarily that your 'input gain" is too low but maybe the "output" to your "input recording", i know it seems like it makes no sense to talk with analog terms in a numeric workflow (edit : digital*, excuse my poor English)... but anyway in "audiovisual" there is "audio" so yeah... pump it up.
