🕵️♂️ Transcript:
Chelsea have been dominating their recent matches with moresa using different structures such as the 325 or even the 316 creating a system built on overarching principles that allows the team to adapt to the opponent and find clever solutions to tricky situations but with everything going so well it’s easy to forget just how much of an uphill battle Moresco was facing at the start of the season and he’s had to make some crucial decisions both on and off the pitch in this video we’re going to be taking a look at the foundations moresa is setting to make Chelsea a dominant Force this season from choosing the right Squad to giving the players clear principles they can rely on to find solutions by themselves this will help us understand just how far this team can go and if they really are title contenders let’s take a look Welcome Back to Football meta now I’ll admit my expectations for moresa were low his appointment caught me by surprise and their preseason form had me thinking there were still way too many issues within the team that needed to be addressed but so far I’ve been proven wrong and moresa has turned this team into something worth watching and analyzing but to get to this point the first crucial step that moresa had to take was addressing the bloated Squad size having to deal with one of the biggest squads in the league would be a challenge for any manager but to mesa’s credit he very quickly established which players would be part of the team and which players would be excluded this did obviously cause a lot of frustration over the summer with key players in Cola Gallagher and Trevor Chala being forced out but it’s safe to say Chelsea finally have a Rec recognizable team and there’s clearly a foundation being set some positions are now completely set in stone while other positions are depend on unhealthy competition between players with Netto Felix Mada and Sancho all being used effectively in this system and if players are not performing then their price tag is not influencing the manager’s decision the squad depth Works in their favor in any of the Cup competitions with players like mudri and anunu getting crucial minutes and impressive performances in these games but working into mesa’s Premier League starting 11 is proving to be harder and harder this is creating a hierarchy within the team that was completely absent in previous Seasons now understanding exactly all the changes that moresca is implementing this season required a lot of research which was made incredibly simple thanks to the new generation of Opera browser the reimagined Opera 1 R2 brings together so many incredible features that can speed up any workflow I consistently have multiple tabs on the go and tab Islands made it incredibly simple to group my work into different categories I had one tab Island for all the news on injuries and transfers and one for all their statistics the split screen function also made it easy for me to compare data from multiple sources and the two tabs now act as their own window that you can move around meaning you don’t have to consistently readjust the size of any window the tab traces also lets you easily track your recently used tabs which helps you quickly identify where you’re coming from at a glance with the darker the underscore indic indicating the tab you visited most recently the new browser also comes with an incredible AI feature ARA the ARA command line can help you with any queries and speed up your workflow with instant help on any research you may need to complete the ARA image generation allows you to quickly create any image you need straight from the browser while the image recognition can help you learn more about any image you upload from a product you like to help in transcribing your notes but one of the features I like the most is simply how personal you can make this browser allowing you to customize the theme all the way down to the font and the color of all the toggles while the floating music player is such a nice Edition that you can position anywhere so you always have your music controls ready so if you want to make your browsing experience even more enjoyable then you can get started for free with the link down below thank you to Opera for sponsoring this video now these changes laid the groundwork for all the Tactical work that moresa is doing on the pitch and the second crucial step in mesa’s plan was giving the team a clear structure to build from while the Chelsea we are currently seeing in their recent games is capable of adopting many different shapes there is a core 325 structure the moresa has slowly been tweaking since his first game the biggest changes from moresa have mostly been down to the players that form this shape and he’s already experimented with so many different players in each position a good example is Malo Gusto that has slowly picked up minutes at right back in some games inverting as the double pivot in others inverting as the offensive midfielder while in in other games also being the source of width on the flank he’s been used at left back and he’s been used as the left attacking midfielder also but regardless of which players are being used it’s the principles that make this system what it is and there are three that can be seen in all of Chelsea’s offensive moves the first is the idea of diagonal passing Lanes moresa rarely uses direct vertical channels when building his attacks and the position of the players means progression usually happens both from one vertical channel to another and a horizontal channel to the the next to understand this we need to look no further than the position of the three players in the center in situations where the opposition leaves space for Central passes then these routes through the middle are very effective but obviously the opposition won’t allow these passes too often so it requires clever movement to create space slightly different to other teams using this shape the two Advanced midfielders will usually start in quite a wide position attempting to create a 2V1 against the fullback it’s common to see these two players rotate either side of the center receiving the ball out wide with the Wingers instantly attacking forward and giving an option in behind if they’re closed down in the center then the two wide Defenders can easily get involved and push forward without being pressed in situations where the opposition is spread out then passes right through the center are also a key way they move up the pitch one of the best games where we can see the use of these diagonal passing Lanes was actually in their 2-1 loss to Liverpool earlier in the season with graen Burch often getting caught in a 2V1 between the the lines if Chelsea were able to move the ball into either Lavia or kaiso then these diagonal passes through the center prove to be extremely dangerous these diagonal passes can be seen everywhere Jackson will consistently drop deep to receive the ball between the lines before laying it off to any player in support if they break past the Midfield line then play shifts diagonally forward into the Winger with always someone attacking the half bace and giving an option forward this allows Chelsea to progress quickly and can rapidly shift from one side of the pitch to another which highlights the second crucial principle which is supporting runs no matter if it’s players receiving the ball in the half space or out wide on the touchline mesa’s system is at its most dangerous with players running ahead of the ball consistently it means more and more players have the license to push forward and add support and the player on the ball always has three options available ranging from high risk High reward to lowrisk consolidating possession a good example of these runs can be seen from a player like karella who is usually used on the left of the back three but in situations where there is space to do so he very quickly rushes forward to give the Winger an option it allows Chelsea to get many players forward in the box and could be one of the main reasons as to their High rate of through balls this season ranked second in the league for successful throw balls per 90 to ensure these two principles of diagonal passes and supporting runs work effectively the mesa’s third principle comes into play and that is freeing space for a teammate and third man runs Chelsea are not a team that will overload the flanks and create big groups of players around the ball but are more likely to spread out and try and give each player as much time on the ball as possible there are moments where the two holding midfielders are being manm marked and so they will slowly drift apart to free up a space for Jackson dropping deep if Chelsea are attacking quickly out wide the attacking midfielder won’t wait in this space but will preemptively attack forward to ensure his teammate is in a 1 V one and instantly has an option forward it’s a principle that is definitely easier said than done but by having a good understanding of where all your teammates are positioned it makes it easier to know which spaces should be left vacant these three principles are at the core of what moresa is doing with Chelsea and with a solid positional structure the players are really starting to click in this system but there is also the added bonus of a player like Cole Palmer who has the license to roam around the pitch more than any other player in this team in fact it’s common to see Palmer show up anywhere when Chelsea are in possession often dropping deep shifting to the opposite flank or attacking the space in behind but it also gets the most out of players like Nicholas Jackson giving him more space to operate between the lines where he can be so dangerous whilst also having the support around him to play balls in behind or be on the receiving end of crosses into the box so mesa’s principles are making Chelsea a force to be reckoned with but in recent games it seems as if we’re entering phase three of mesa’s plan with even more fluid rotation between the players specifically they two one win over Leicester is what caught my eye with Chelsea building their attacks in a 3-1 33 shape similar to C’s Diamond Midfield in possession this allowed Chelsea to have different players dropping deep if needed it meant there was more support for any player out wide with two players rotating to add support and they could fill the box with a lot of players in their 5-1 win against Southampton ja Felix would often move more centrally when Chelsea were building on the left freeing the flank for Kara to get forward giving Chelsea three options between the lines whilst also still having three players threatening a run in behind the defense and shows that moresa is not running out of ideas just yet with all this being said there’s still a long way to go this season and while they are still technically in the title race only time will tell if Chelsea can sustain these levels for the whole season parallels can be drawn to mesa’s season at Leicester starting strong but slowly losing the intensity as the season progressed but in my opinion there’s still one issue that needs to be ironed out and and that is their defensive consistency moresa has very clear defensive principles when out of possession with an aggressive man oriented press in the first phases of the opposition’s buildup reverting to a 442 when in aan Block structure and generally speaking Chelsea do well in these positions and are a difficult team to bypass in the initial stages but their defensive line can be exposed at times while their defensive numbers have significantly improved from last season there are still moments of confusion in the defensive line that have led to Big chances for the opposition even in their game against Aston Villa Watkins found himself through on goal after fana failed to deal with it effectively and while the kiso experiment was definitely positive overall he was caught out in behind on a few occasions against bigger clubs simple defensive mistakes have meant that they dropped points from positive offensive performances and it’s a trend that could cost them dearly as the season progresses but how far do you think this Chelsea team can go do you think they’ll be in the title race in a few months time and which players deserve more credit for their excellent start to the season leave your thoughts in the comments down below we’re so close to hitting
