2. Barcelona Fc Founded in 1899, FC Barcelona is a civil
society of private law, with 105,000 members and promotes the
practice of professional and amateur sport. Football is the main
activity of the institution and the axis around which revolves the
set of his social and sporting activities. Regarded as the best
club in the world,
3. Juventus Analysis Quality of their game. 3-5-2/ 4-3-1-2 Like
Conte, Allegri initially used the 3-5-2 which made Juventus play on
the focus of ball possession. As well as being in excess in number
in front. At the same time, 3-5-2 turns into 5-3-2 which made
Juventus defensively enough. By February 2015, he has changed the
set-up to 4-3-1-2. But the principles are always the same.
4. The Italian Serie A The Italian Serie A is famous for its
excessively tactical game. Its overuse and abuse of tactical
knowledge of the players, and the importance of not conceding goals
to the opponent, rather than trying to score it.
5. Juventus's style The principles which we can get from
watching Juventus matches are: Ball Possession (get in control of
the ball by dominating the midfield) Use a play-maker as the
director of the game ( Juv has Pirlo who displays great technical
skills, team's personality, game vision) Three DFS who are
naturally center backs Two wingers who have great enduring skills
and can act as fullbacks as well as extra strikers. Good counter
attack. The use of fast strikers like Tevez who are also masters of
1v1 situations and passing skills, makes Juventus counter attack
fatal for opponents High Pressing without running too many risks.
How?
6. Juventus Pressing Principles of Juventus Pressing Go for the
space, not for the ball. If you occupy the space, the ball will
come to you soon or later. All Juventus means by their ideas of
coaching pressing is: Learn to get in control of space by zone
marking, rather than chasing the ball which makes you let more
space open in your own half, as defensive line must step up to
support the high pressing line of the attackers
7. Analysis of Juventus- Real Madrid 4-3-1-2 against 4-2-3-1
Aim of Juventus: High pressing, zone- marking, counter attack Aim
of Real Madrid: Keeping opponents in front to avoid problems
behind, keeping possession, playing wide to penetrate
centrally.
8. High pressing of Juventus As Juventus played in front and
pressed high without looking for the ball but by covering space,
they got to catch the ball. As Real Madrid center backs had
problems to play the ball due to Juventus's cover of space, they
tended to lose possession quite often. As a result, Tevez caught
the ball and immediately counter attacked by exploiting 2v2
situations, displaying perfect 1v1 skills, playing to the wingers
who used to step up and support attack.
9. 1-0 If we analyze the situation which brought Juventus to
score the 1st goal. We can see that Juventus's pressing line is set
on space which makes Juventus cover most of Real Madrid's space.
And they are not running too many defensive risks, as they are not
aimed at getting the ball as quick as possible like Barca do. After
Juventus stole the ball, Tevez received and shot. Although Casillas
had initially caught it, they scored.
10. Juventus's Pressing line
11. Juventus's Pressing Line As we can see, the two forwards
are putting pressure on the center backs. One steps forward to put
pressure on the CB who is having the ball. While the other closes
support. All team steps up to help the midfielders and strikers to
close space. While Barca wants to get ball as quick as possible,
Juventus must only close space and wait for opponents to lose
possession. By doing so, they will run less risks.
12. Barca's pressing
13. Barca's pressing Whilst Juventus looks for closing space,
so opponents get pressure, and soon or later they commit some
mistake, Barca straight goes for the ball. If we look at the image
of the previous page, you'll see the aim of Barca is to make the
pitch closer, all team steps up to encourage mistakes of opponents
and close passing. Barca's aim is to get the ball as soon as
possible.
14. Pros & Cons Juventus: Pros/ - Run less offensive risks.
It is difficult for opponents to counter attack, as space is well
protected and players are marked on their side - Encourage
mistakes. Opponents feel pressure , as they find no peer to play
the ball to. - Game control. Although they haven't the ball, by
controlling space, you control the game of your opponent.
15. Pros & Cons Juventus Cons/ - Less chance to get the
ball quickly, as you need to patiently wait for your opponent to
lose possession. - No immediate shot or finish, as you need to
start the game again due to the lack of intention to catch the ball
in the final zone. - Not secure against a team who plays possession
quite well.
16. Pros & Cons Barca Pros/ - Immediate shot or finish, as
they get the ball in the final zone. - Pitch closer and high
pressure for defenders - Easy way of intercepting pass due to the
small format.
17. Pros & Cons Barca Cons/ - Easy for good counter
attacking teams to penetrate, as you need to step up and fullbacks
go forward to support pressing. - Offside line may be useless if
DFS must step up to opponents half.
18. What made Juventus won and achieved the Champions League
final Principles of Juventus game worked out. That is to say.
Maintaining possession. Exploiting forwards skills Exploiting
wingers skills as fullbacks and wide forwards Zone-marking High
pressing aimed at covering space Individual qualities (Tevez and
