WHO ARE WE? OUR NON-NEGOTIABLE VALUES
WHAT IS OUR SOCCER IDENTITY - OUR "DNA"?
Our “Soccer Identity” could be described as the passion to keep the ball whenever possible (Guardiola) while using quick, 1-touch buildups in the counterattack (Klopp).
We are "Control Freaks"
- We are proactive, not reactive – we aim to dictate the tempo of the game
- We try to possess the ball as frequently as possible
- We use obsessive, tactical discipline to control the game
- We quickly regain (and keep) the ball after losing possession
We are work-in-progress, holistic players with:
- Skill (confidence in 1v1 situations)
- Knowledge (the ability to play any suited position on the field)
- Intensity (both offensively and defensively)
- Constant movement without the ball, specifically checking into areas of space
- High soccer IQ (the speed by which players assess given situations and make decisions)
Style of Play
- Offensively: We utilize as many players and as much of the field as possible – we focus on a Triangular Possession style with constant movement off the ball to confuse opponents and create goal-scoring opportunities
- Defensively: We implement a delayed, high pressure system to maximize disruption and decrease passing angles with the intention of forcing the opponent into giving us the ball
- We value skill & soccer IQ over size & speed
- Our preferred formations:
4-3-3
4-2-3-1 / 4-5-1
3-5-2 / 5-3-2
