Today’s TFA Posts ⚽
Chelsea have faced substantial criticism over the past two seasons for purchasing numerous young talents at high prices — especially in their attack, which now consists of nine players who could comfortably start at other clubs in Europe’s top-five leagues.
Speculation has frequently swirled around how Chelsea would fit all these players into a cohesive system and keep them content, especially after previous managers like Graham Potter and Mauricio Pochettino struggled to do so.
Today, Kurosh Moghtader provides an analysis of how Enzo Maresca has been integrating all his attackers into a playing style that has enabled them to score goals easily in the Premier League this season!
Austrian football was different 20 years ago, when Rapid and Austria Wien, the two biggest clubs in the country’s capital, had been consistently battling it out to win the Austrian Bundesliga title for years.
Cue 2005, Red Bull, the energy drink manufacturer, decided to buy a football club in Salzburg and invest heavily in infrastructure as well as the team itself; German Ralf Rangnick was hired to develop a Red Bull style of play, which ended up being centred around counterpressing and rapid, hostile attacks.
Many players left Rapid Wien to strive for the German Bundesliga or even Red Bull Salzburg itself, as Marcel Sabitzer did, resulting in a decline in Rapid Wien’s quality.
Now, Rapid are on the rise and one key factor behind their success in 2024/25 is head coach Robert Klauß — a Red Bull coach through and through.
Jonas Bartsch analyses how Klauß is bringing Red Bull tactics to Rapid Wien in 2024/25 via his latest tactical analysis.
