Round Ball Academy’s Post

Thanks Darryle Busa for this great article!

I have known and followed Eder Sarabia since his first experience as Quique Setién's assistant at Las Palmas. That team, along with Betis in the following years, are the teams that fascinated me the most and helped me develop my knowledge of the positional play model. When Eder began his journey as a head coach with Andorra, I was immediately convinced that he would be a very interesting coach and that his style would generate a lot of attention. This season, he will lead Elche CF in a top-tier campaign in the Segunda División. In the match against Córdoba, they used a 3-3-2-3 positional structure (with GK) in 'open build-up' situations, where the opposing team (4-2-3-1 defensive shape) applied pressure that effectively controlled the spaces. The GK was mainly used to create an initial 3v1, allowing one of the two CBs to carry the ball forward, breaking through the first line of pressure, and seeking solutions to progress. In this situation, the use of the 3v1 is effective. The left CB's ball progression happens without interference, due to the opponents marking the reference points, and on the opposite side, it causes disorganization, creating free space for direct progression. The development is straightforward: once the opposite fullback is found in that free area, with perfect execution, they drive diagonally towards the edge of the box and attack the goal. 💻 Analyzed with Play3 by Metrica Sports 🎟️ Contact me to receive the link to download ‘Play by Metrica Sports’ with 10% discount

A left winger who surprised in Braga and who did not enjoy all the prominence he would have liked and who ends up aboard the ‘Bilbao gavarra’ for a cost of 15 million euros. The good movement in the transfer market of Athletic Club is already paying off, as Álvaro Djaló leads in La Liga EA Sports many of the variables that are key to the performance of a winger.
