Football is full of interactions

Every pass, tackle, and movement impacts the game. It's not just about individual brilliance; it's how players interact within a system

That's where Positional Play comes in

It's not just a tactic; it's a philosophy rooted in Systems Theory

Even though the move feels like it's died down at this point, we're always one step ahead of them. MU are slow but also lulled into a false sense of security.

Ø at 'RB' again is the cue for #5 to move back into midfield, which creates an easy wall pass into him in the pinned flank area.

In the moments after, consistent short exchanges invites pressure that disorganises MU's shape (Bruno-Garnacho needing to switch roles but latter not complying).

No fakes in this instance but the passing is still short and very straightforward with easy access into the overload in each line.

Again, incredibly composed and well-intended mini fakes to find the right, easy-to-access spare man.

The more negative the initial false target the better because the shaping to pass & movement to receive is purely to get Utd to jump, which attackers will be susceptible to doing high up the pitch.

From here, ideally Zinchenko would be able to feed the ball across and through the lines to transition the ball into Saka.

Access wasn't always quite so straightforward but there were other usable approaches, like this diagonal attempt, supported by players in superior 2nd ball positions to Utd's.
