As usual low IQ Falcao confusing a cup with a league
Typical ibime, slow to read. Quick to counter

📸 - Former Atletico Madrid and Chelsea player Filipe Luis is in tears after winning his first Copa Libertadores as a coach after leading Flamengo to fourth glory

NB: He won twice as a player with the same club (2019, 2022)

This is his 4th trophy in 14 months with Flamengo as a Manager👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥

They're also about to win the Brazilian Seria A next week.
Is Brazilian Seria A, that they are about to win a cup game ?

Who is sitting at 75 points in the Brazilian seria A ?

Arteta no dey manage anything, just the usual stodgy football and hope for set-pieces or individual brilliance while keeping defence tight. It's a valid and consistent management style, but one afforded him by extreme patience after over 5 years of failure

Maresca on the other hand knows how to penetrate and overload teams tactically in a way Arteta could not even dream of. There is almost no Chelsea match you go into and don't expect Chelsea to score even if it's Tyrique George as striker. Maresca must overload you somewhere on the pitch and penetrate your defence.
Na Arteta be master of overloads. Imagine having your LB as no 8 or your CF dropping to become the second RW.

The only overload Maresca does is Cucurella or James inverting to midfield, something Arteta have played with and even abandoned

I have seen enough of both of them not to believe your thesis. Anyways,i hope and pray Maresca shows his tactical superiority over Arteta today.

Mateta's hold-up play is underrated.Meanwhile,it is as good as that of Rooney and Benzema.

An attacking side doesn't sit back and hope to counter.. An attacking side presses from the front. Try and watch a Bayern game to get a glimpse of how an attacking side plays football

The original statement is Joggingho will never win a major league. That's already confirmed

Joining the best team midseason in a farmers league that was 60% completed when he joined will not change that

Popi believes an attacking side is any side not coached by Maresca.

Someone who already criticised Maresca for playing "anti-striker football".

Many days later, I am still trying to figure out what that means.

As it is... It seems it will be easier for a big camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for chelsea to get a draw this evening. They are the minority in the match.
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by Enzo5: 1:57pm On Nov 30, 2025
I pray we win today but the disrespect to arteta will end if arsenal wins epl. arteta made this arsenal an epl top 2 team and currently I doubt there's any club they can't beat in europe

And that's were the misconception comes from. Why does a team without the ball determines their style?

Never in the life of me will the concept of a team without the ball reveal their style? It will never make sense to me.

For me i determine how a team plays,with what they do with the ball when they have it. That's the proper way to look at it

When you understand this concept,you will get to determine which team attacks better and which team doesn't.

The all attacking Barca side that we all like to reference were not called the greatest attacking side on the back of what they do without the ball.

In fact pep guardiola famously called his side the worst side without the ball but that did not stop them from being the best attacking side ever.

Football 101.
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by popizaino(m): 2:13pm On Nov 30, 2025
How swiftly you can move the ball from your end to your opponents end even with maximum resistance is what determines an attacking side.

Nobody would ever say Klopp teams are not an attacking team or will say pep guardiola team are not attacking team.

If you resist Maresca men to pass forward they would gladly go back instead of trying to find a way.

Chief, Attacking coaches play on the front foot. It doesn't matter the team they're coaching. Whether they're coaching Eibar, Wolves, Burnley you'll clearly see the idea. It's why Kompany got relegated and why Marcelo Biesla was chopping crickets scoreline because they always wanted to play on the front foot but they didnt have the players to execute their ideas. Britthon coach is another example of an attacking coach.

Nothing is wrong with Glanser though. He's a good coach but he's like them Inzaghi, Simemoe. They play better without having much of the ball. Back foot football. You can't want attacking/attractive football and Glanser is your choice.

All you are doing is highlighting nuances between a proactive attacking side, a counter-attacking side; then proceeding to paint a counter-attacking side as an attacking side, because of what they might do with the ball using 20% average possession.

That is just disingenuous analysis.

Let's discard what said side was doing for 80% of the game, and call them an attacking side, because they managed to win a game with 20% possession.

This is not football 101. This is just Popi football
