Hope this damn thing resizes and shut-up I know I can’t draw
So as some of you might know is that I’m currently working (not employed don’t get paid) in the football management field if you will, as an assistant manager. Anyway even though it is mostly credited towards managers as the tactics I’ve currently been working on one simple one for the gaffer (Just wanted to say it) and above is the first image of myshit drawing skills at worktactic but as I was working on just the simple things in it about the opposition I noticed something.
Triangles, triangles, triangles, can I get them into football? Well possibly. The way I’m looking at is (after I clean everything up a bit it will be more clearer) with the normal plan (Wingbacks, one attack mid, one defensive mid, wingers higher up the field) is that if we were to keep the passes shorter then territory can be put in place to replace the normal zones as are in football.
The thing is if a player was to protect their territory like an animal out in the wild, surely their triangle or territory would only be small thus the opposition exploiting the very clear and open spaces around the field, with the players told not to venture out of their territory, too often at least. That’s where the concept of multiple and shared triangles for players comes in. All players would get around four triangles of territory each allowing them to cover yards of space, while sharing spaces with other players, like my defensive mid and centre backs both share a spot behind the center circle.
All I’m really writing this for is for my own help in figuring it out, there’s still a lot to go with this tactic, and it has to be presented tomorrow, the day before the tournament, but with some serious experimenting with it I know it can work, but of course somethings I’ll have to decide my self on the players ability. But I know if we stick to this, players stick to their territory, the opposition if using the typical 4-4-2 will be caught out, and as the players work their way through the triangles with short, swift passing there will be no stopping us for once, and we can put the despair of 2nd in every competition behind us.
But also if it is implemented right, it will also teach the players how to play right in the tactic, instead of a defensive midfielder pushing up, being caught on the counter attack, and then we lose a goal, it stops him from venturing too far forward by the territories not wanting to lose it. But yeah this is just my random thoughts on a tactic I didn’t even mean to create that has now grasp control of my mind.
Was just something I wrote on Tumblr about the tactic of sorts I was working on, Sean read it said I should post it so here it is. And yes I know I can't draw
