  • What is this?! - A player admitting his mistakes. - Appreciating luck in the game. - Praising the opponent's plays. - Emphasizing safety protocols. - Recognizing his own bias. I've never ever seen this before... I should be simply happy but I can't help feeling a bit confused... Can every football player be like this?

We must have watched that 10 times. I think he finally got it. Thank you for these kinds of videos .. they really provide insightful lessons. Thank you thank you

  • Hi Matt, your videos are a great source of inspiration and motivation to me personally. I don't play pro but am very passionate with football. I am also a late bloomer myself, since only recently have I found my confidence in my abilities. I have always played as RB/LB (both voluntarily and unvoluntarily) but now I am trying, and forcing myself, to play in a more advanced role like CM/AM, since I know I can make those through passes and connecting plays. Your videos have helped me quite a lot and I am really grateful that you are taking your personal time to deliver these videos to us. Please keep it up!

  • Man this a nice video. I'm a natural defender who has been playing with a bunch of older guys every weekend. They ALWAYS put me up top or in midfield and I've found that it's so difficult to asses your surroundings and make quick decisions. I'm used to the whole field being in front of me at all times. Midfield is fun but you need to play so smart and fast, it's a real challenge.

  • You need to count the amount of time your scanning through out the game and before you receive the ball. Most of these plays you are critical of your decision making but you don’t give your self the time and information needed by properly scanning and positioning yourself. A lot of times your running when you should just be jogging and scanning. For example at 7:20 your running forward into space and you don’t scan the field once, and then you get surrounded by 3 players because you ran so far forward into the crowded space. You said you should have played out to the left but if you had moved slower and scanned the field you would have noticed the space to your right to drive forward and attack with your winger.

  • America is getting a case study from the Socrates of soccer Himself rn at Inter Miami on how to move both on and off the ball to completely negate entire defensive structures/teams with a single pass. Matt you put out a great video on Busquets a couple years ago that really displayed your understanding of the game at the pro level and described the roll of Sergio very well. This position seems to suit your abilities more then defensive back and it's awesome to see you thriving in the epicenter of the game and starting to command. very cool. I hope having Busi here at home helping leo et al dismantle the opposition is both inspiring and educational and I'm curious to know your thoughts on what you think the Spaniards will do for the game in this country from a cultural and sporting level. Cheers dude and congrats.

  • You looked great overall! Your view of the game, energy and quickness are really good. Although, had you passed the ball a little sooner rather than taking that second and third touch on 10:00 . The quicker you distribute the ball and less touches you take, plus taking running tempos into consideration will help you become an even bigger problem. Keep it up!

  • I think when you guys get on opposite side of the field ( second half ) better if you stay wide and high , the same time your RM goes inside between the def and mid.f lines to look for the ball . He has fast feet and good with the ball , he is much more dangerous near the box than just staying wide and making those crosses , you have enough cardio to go up and down and the same time you can make the same good crosses .

  • 3:44 My instinct is to stay full throttle and make that defender come towards the goal line with me (looking for any lapse in his pressure the whole way). - After pushing deep the ball can be protected with a dribbling turn to look for a pass or continue dribbling towards the center of the field (irregardless of the dribble going forward or backwards - to the center field *getting in the box).

  • Good analysis! At 10:00 the player was the right choice but the extra touch was costly. Needs a smaller touch for an earlier pass or no extra touch at all. If the pass is played early, theres more room for the winger to get to it. If the LCB vacates the striker to defend the pass, the winger has a free striker to play it to on a cut back. Ultimately as soon as the 3v2 was recognized, playing the ball forward will be more productive than a dribble because the ball moves faster than you do and the space behind is disappearing quickly.

  • whatching your second analysis, and I'm shocked that you are not criticizing your cross timing, I understand if you nailed that part you'd be in barcelona, but you can improve there a bit. at 60 you had so many options, so much time, and even if there wasnt that defender that ball seems to be picked by goalie, your forwards so much behind. your passes to RM were really good

  • In RB role seems you have a little support from your mids, resulting in wing play, which was obviously your opponents plan. Try not to play so fast at the beginning, give your mids a chance to position themselves. Without them you are destined for a pass to your winger. Give it time, hold the ball, move left and right, show your opponent that you could play with left foot also, or right with false pass. Slower is faster sometimes. Anyway - great learning, and awesome commentary! Good job mate!
