Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

A brick Manu team? you mean the one that had Pogba, Zlatan, DaGea, Mata, Carrick, Martial, etc. and is the most expensive squad in the league? What he continues to be great at is getting the media to buy into his alternative reality that somehow other teams have any kind of advantage over them re squad/money/etc. Look not dismissing the guy, but he is not what he used to be, old Jose would have won the league.

That's his forte... tell the world it's not the players it's him and then credit the players when there is success (looking smug)
 
INTRODUCTION


For two years now Tottenham Hotspur has managed to achieve incredible results. These achievements would not show up for the London team from the 62-63 season, when Spurts managed to reach second place in the Premier League after Everton, season in which their own Jimmy Greaves (Tottenham), became the top scorer with 37 well networks.

The team coached by coach Pochettino has managed to conclude fact improving its results year to year, the seasons in the Premier League with him at the helm ended with positioning:

  • 5th in the 2014/15 season;
  • 3rd in that 2015/16;
  • 2 ° in that 2016/17.
Mauricio Roberto Pochettino Trossero , spent as a professional as a defender of Espanyol PSG ,, etc., obtained the coaching license in 2008 and began practicing as assistant coach of ' Espanyol . On 20 January 2009 , the first coach José Manuel Esnal is relieved, allowing Pochettino to sit on the bench of the first team, at that last moment in the standings and in a very delicate situation. At the end of the season Espanyol, however, he manages to escape thanks to a victory on the final day in the field of ' Almería .

In the following two seasons arrive two salvations quiet that led to a new renovation. On February 25, 2012 also becomes the fourth coach of the club's history as a number of appearances on the bench. On 26 November 2012 , after 13 days of the Liga BBVA and two wins, it was sacked by the club. On 18 January 2013 become the new coach of Southampton in the Premier League .

Debuts 0-0 draw against ' Everton and gradually manages to revive the fortunes of the Saints, leading them to salvation. The following season the Southampton reports on the left side of the league, finishing the season with an excellent eighth place. On May 27, 2014 becomes the new coach of Tottenham , signing a five-year contract with the London club.



The article has as its goal, the study of constant tactics of Tottenham Pochettino. It is based on the study of the race valid for the competition of Premier League, finished 2-1 in favor of the Spurts.



STATISTICS PRE-GAME


Among the many statistics analyzed in the pre-game, the most interesting are objectively show a particular aptitude for the game on the wings, floor and long balls, are in fact a few balls played central defenders allocating to a "director" the maneuver. It is a mnemonic team that knows how to play according to the instructions of their coach, in fact, the ownership and development of the offensive game statistics, we understand how a request indicating the constant search of the cross into the area, distributing attempts evenly on both bands.



Statistiche-fasi.png




The percentages searched filtering steps, they are very often implemented by centromediano right, where prevails percentage in both matches at home and away (apart from the players on the frontline which of course often try entries with this kind of way). The left outside, in the offensive phase, it is the man who more than all attempts dribbling and 1vs1 challenges.



Statistiche-Cross.png




On defense launches or long delays they are very few. The number of recoveries in opposing construction area (especially in the trocar) is synonymous with a team that likes to play with a high center of gravity, or attacking the opponent. The faults in the vicinity of his own penalty area is almost zero, index of concentration, patience and waiting for the right time to intervene.

Statistiche-duelli.png




The team presents an average of approximately 2 goals scored per game, but the trend of the last match presents a trend indicating a high number of shots for goal almost no (1 goals on 91 shots, 41 of which are in the door), a goal ratio / very low throws, approximately 1%, and a mirror framing accuracy to 45%. This could indicate an exclusive trend dictated by many factors, which influence the season finale. Certainly it can be said that as many as 23% of shots on goal happen by Central shot low and the main architect of this statistic is the tip of Harry Kane, with 21 shots in their last 5 games played, all from going downtown rigor. A distance in the hazard classification are the two midfielders insertion: Son with 15 shots and Eriksen with 18, both with a predilection for the shots from outside the area.

TRAINING


Mister Pochettino shows a basic module, which is used almost 90% of the time according to the latest match used as a sample, which turns out to be a 4-2-3-1.

PHASE OF POSSESSION


CONSTRUCTION



The phase possession of Pochettino team, never see a building from the bottom made to a director or decrease in the median, but not to a midfielder who set the maneuver action development. In offensive phase have a form that is very close to a 2 / 3-1-4. The two central fixed defense behind, the backs to support a central midfielder, the other median rises on the trocar and according to the game development area, are positioned Eriksen, Alli and Son near always central Kane.

The Spurts are very usual exploit bands, directing the central defenders, the balloons directly to one of the two full-backs. These under construction are positioned next to the central midfielder Wanyama, which remains the only one to preside over together with the backs metacampo. If these are marked in advance, then the flask is always directed towards one of the two bands, but on the more advanced player (winger), by means of long launch.

DEVELOPMENT



The development phase of Tottenham provides continuous search of classic side chains. Much more is often sought after to the right, perhaps because dictated by the presence of the median Dier, more technically equipped with the companion midfielder Wanyama. The exchanges are generally carried out between the central midfielder Dier moving on the right, Kane in lowering from the strikers Trippier line and the right-back. The latter is always ready to serve Dier in space attack, subsequently to the initial step of Kane that provides the game bank (right-hand side chain).

FINISHING AND CONCLUSION



The finishing area sees the constant pursuit of external Son, Eriksen, and sometimes Alli, to cross through the middle. The team uses the very physical abilities and stroke tip Kane's head, and hardly try different play. The back on the band in which the action takes place, overlaps the exterior midfielder to give support or act as bait for attracting to itself the defender. If the same is not served and the median goes in search of his companions in the area, then change the movements of the back who will seek the inclusion in the penalty area.

OFFENSIVE TRANSITION


The team does not fast offensive transitions counter (less than blatant opponent positioning errors), but prefers to think and wait for the midfielders: Eriksen, Son and Alli on offense, so as to place in area tip to serve for the header. The same, before positioning the area, helps his teammates during the offensive transition, taking the ball between opponents and waiting for the right time to hand it over to the median in progress. The 3 already mentioned, during insertion, do not maintain a true and proper positioning, but they create space between cuts them to become less predictable and do not give points of reference to the attackers.

The good of team head game is demonstrated also by the way in which they attack the door outnumbered, managing to prevail during the match twice, both with Kane that with Wanyama, demonstration of quality game predilection on balls inactive instead of quantity. In fact in the area clashes it is numerically always to their disadvantage (6 vs. 3 in the first case and 7 vs 5 in the second case).

PHASE NOT HAVE


The phase of non-possession is constituted by the classic 4-4-2 module, which provides for the positioning of the players for the role referred to as the image shown at the bottom.



Difesa-schierata.png




The team carried out a few times pressing up, and given the results obtained in the few times when this happens, it much prefers the opponent's hold and the recomposition of the narrow lines of coverage, consist of four men and four defense midfield. Alli has the freedom to carry out defensive depending on the situation. It can support the tip when Kane comes out under pressure or stand in front of the median line in an isolated manner, in support of the medians. The type is implemented marking zone.

The few times the Pochettino team tries to attack your opponent up, shows the obvious gaps in the process of organization. In the video below you can see how the simultaneous attack delayed by more men Tottenham, bring an adversary to have the useful game time to serve the companions, they will easily find in numerical superiority and advantage of space for the transition offensive on the halfway line. The United players, will face a single line of coverage consists of 2 men to overcome to be conveyed in the door.

Despite the quick support of comrades, Tottenham has repeatedly play areas covered at all by to attack, or from which to aim in the door, carrying numerical superiority in front of the single opponent, but a few men put in proper defensive position to minimize the possibility to suffer goals.

DEFENSIVE TRANSITION


The defensive transitions do not occur rarely in this match. The few times in which are carried out, are carried out in an uncoordinated way. It is probably what causes coach Pochettino to give an attitude to the team, in attack, which may limit this type of situations. This type of phase, in fact, does not present itself almost never so clearly and in evidence. When Spurts find themselves forced to recover the ground, to give life to real defense, have no such organization and automation to be able to counteract your opponent in speed.



In the video below you can see how, despite the numerical superiority in area (3 vs 2), and the man at the edge of the area controlled by the adversary, and Eriksen to the 1vs1 clash support the right-back, the opponent is able to score. The median, to support the back who tries to delay the action instead of intervening immediately, nor intervenes in doubling of the same, leaving the individual challenge, nor intervenes after its overcoming. This represents an unnecessary position for defense purposes. The central defender finds himself forced out sideways, leaving the central area discovery attacked by the tip of the United, Rooney, that with an easy touch in the running direction, which can not score with minimal effort at 1 m from the door.



The defensive phase transition proved in this match, definitely deserves to be reviewed. The same should be of greater depth, through the study of more games. Surely the statistical number of high balls recovered and indicated at the beginning of article, have the attitude of a team that recovers the high center of gravity: the possession in position or pressure, which against Manchester United is not very well managed.

The image representing the motion analysis of the passages between the players of Tottenham, and their average positions, indicate some interesting concepts:



  • The player to touch the greatest number of balloons is the central defender Vertonghen, who has not played hardly ever the ball to other players that are not central defender Alderweireld (which leaves the setting), the full-back Davies, or in the worst case Lloris ;


  • The full-back has constantly sought Davies, the left one, which does not play hardly ever the ball back;


  • The player to distribute in a more homogeneous manner balloons is Dier, the central midfielder technically most gifted;


  • Kane, Eriksen and Son have average position in the field in the central part of the trocar, while Alli maintains average position during the central player in the match on the trocar support (basically acts as a second striker).

Some great (mis)translations amongst that lot....

the 'phase not have' and the following paragraph 'The percentages searched filtering steps, they are very often implemented by centromediano right, where prevails percentage in both matches at home and away (apart from the players on the frontline which of course often try entries with this kind of way). The left outside, in the offensive phase, it is the man who more than all attempts dribbling and 1vs1 challenges.' are both particularly confusing.

Well, on that confused note, this exterior midfielder is off to 'attack the door outnumbered'.
 
I'm wondering if Eric Dier is the new IT given his reported passion, in the badly translated article above, for giving out balloons.

No wonder we are 'on the rise', as we all float.

Even though we are in the CL I really hope this season Poch takes the league cup a little more serious because it is a totally winnable trophy if we play the right mix of first team players and kids

Perhaps. Depends on whether we add much depth over the summer. If we add the 3-4 players which I think we need to get that depth then I think we will take the league cup more seriously as it will enable the full squad to stay on form and match fit

I think it it essential that this young squad wins a trophy and that is arguably one we have the best chance in

I would agree with you, no matter what anyone says IF we go through another season without winning something then i fear more players will leave.
 
It's essential that we win things, improve our non football revenue and pay salaries that are not too different from top clubs

I know that we are going over old ground here but being a regular in the Champions League is far more important when it comes to increasing our profile and revenue than winning domestic cups.
 
Two different clubs in two different situations. My recommendation for arsenal... To be more aggressive than us in buying and develop youth, get a younger and more progressive coach, and be ruthless in demanding effort on the pitch. With the budgets they have they should be doing much better. And say goodbye to Wenger and his favourites.
