What a surreal scene


When blocking low what are the benefits of defending in a 5-3-2 to a 5-4-1? Feels like a 5-4-1 is preferential?




Cesc Fabregas: “The gym [at the training ground] I designed. I designed it with the architect. I designed the glass on the front. I learned it from Arsène [Wenger]. I remembered that the gym needs to be looking at the game on the pitches for the injured players. At the stadium, I said we need a bigger pitch because we are a team that wants the ball, we have possession. So I made the pitch bigger. It was a bit of a headline because some people said ‘what is this stupid guy doing for 1 metre?’ But the 1 metre can make the difference when you’re trying to use the width. In Italy, people were saying ‘no, no, why 65 [metres]? Make it 63 because that means you can defend better’. So it’s a bit the concept of you look at football in one way or another.” (via @Matt_Law_DT)
