How Conte Punished Juventus - Tactical Analysis 🎥

Today’s TFA Posts ⚽

Back in September, it was announced that the 2025/2026 campaign would be RC Strasbourg’s last with Emmanuel Emegha leading the line, with the Dutch forward set to join fellow BlueCo side Chelsea the following summer, where he’ll now link up with ex-Strasbourg boss Liam Rosenior, who made the same move.

Given Emegha’s impressive performances at Stade de la Meinau in 2024/2025, Strasbourg fans may have been left wondering how they’d cope with Emegha’s departure next summer and who would be in line to replace him.

That question has been promptly answered faster than expected by Joaquín Panichelli (187cm/6’2”, 82kg/180lbs).

Panichelli joined the Alsace club from Alavés this past summer for €17m off the back of a strong campaign out on loan at CD Mirandés in the Spanish second-tier, in which the Argentinian forward scored 20 goals.

The 23-year-old striker has carried his 2024/2025 La Liga 2 form over into the 2025/2026 campaign in some style, with Panichelli scoring 10 goals in 17 Ligue 1 games at the time of writing.

Most of these goals have come with Emegha out of the side, due to the Strasbourg captain struggling heavily with injury issues this term.

Rather than entering the Strasbourg team alongside Emegha, which may have been the plan given the two have lined up next to each other when Emegha’s been fit, he’s instead been tasked with outright replacing the Strasbourg talisman a season in advance of his actual departure.

He’s managed to do that quite effectively, and this Joaquín Panichelli scout report aims to shed light on the right-footed Argentina international’s key strengths and weaknesses, as well as his tactical role in the team, which is utilising those strengths so effectively in 2025/2026.

This scout report explains why Joaquín Panichelli may be Strasbourg’s next major sale and why he may well force his way into Lionel Scaloni‘s FIFA World Cup plans.

It’s been a thrilling Africa Cup of Nations, and we have a heavyweight clash in the AFCON 2025 Final between two of the best teams in Africa: Senegal and Morocco.

Senegal made it to the final after a late Sadio Mané goal got them past Egypt a goal to nil.

They’ve been one of the best defensive teams throughout this tournament, conceding only twice.

Senegal have been so dominant in Africa that you have to go back to March 25th, 2022, for the last time they lost a non-friendly match in regular time on African soil.

The host nation, Morocco, survived penalties against Nigeria to get to the Africa Cup of Nations final.

Morocco have become one of the most dominant teams in Africa in recent years, but this title has eluded them.

They have only won the title once, in 1976, so winning it on home soil after reaching the World Cup semi-finals in 2022 would be a massive accomplishment.

These two have never met in the Africa Cup of Nations, and it should be a thrilling final with both teams among the pre-tournament favourites.

In this AFCON 2025 Final tactical preview, we will look at Senegal’s possession tactics throughout this tournament, how Morocco may struggle against Senegal’s mid-block, and the keys for each team to win the title.
