" BREAKING DOWN " Dani Olmo's SENSATIONAL Barcelona Debut || Tactical Analysis ||

remember I made a video on why Almo to Barcelona makes so much sense and a lot of guys complained about oh well we don't need MMO we don't and how we forc gundan out I mean laporta and the guys are desperate our situation does not allow us to do all of this niik Williams is worth a lot of money and with the injuries that we have almost to Barcelona made s and he kind of proved you wrong today we're going to analyze the dude's debut because he was Sensational as always do subscribe to the channel we upload weekly Barcelona content let's start at the start of the second half Rio defended with a front two a 442 depending on how you look at it where one would sit on Bernal and the other one would go and do the pressing or they would do it the other way around right but we did see that Bernal started to drop into these areas right here and that allowed Kun to go up and then one of pedri and delmo could actually drop into these positions and this is what made it so great about Almo he brought balance right because even though pedri dropped we know how pedri has most of the control and how Ki is on the ball we had another player who was able to do that so if we could find him you now have two players that can really be good in transition for Barcelona and the verticality killed Rayo vako this way like previously mentioned Alo really brought balance to Barcelona so that pedri can really focus on this left side Ando on this right side if pedri would drop in these areas allowing rafin to come inside which is is more familiar with nowadays MMO could do the same for linia Mal and and kundai and like I said Mr flick really wants lamin and Rafia to receive the balls up high in these half spaces right and also if um pedri would drop wherever he would drop to right and players follow him uho had the intelligence to drop into these spaces to get onto the ball so balance is the biggest thing that Denny Olo really brought to this Barcelona team and now you had kind of like two players with similar quality or higher quality that can operate in these number 10 and 38 position which is giving Barcelona another dimension at the moment like I said the verticality was just destroying Rio here we see that ELO can also drop deep and dictate um from Deep right allowing pedri to go higher right and the similar like with pedri if pedri stays deeper to dictate the play omo can go higher right so it's kind of like us having two pedri because uh pedri can control the game as well as Danny ELO right so it's kind of like having chvy in Ina if if if that makes sense and if pedri drops Alo can find the space the same ifo drops pedri can find the space so it's it's it's really this is what I talked about balance also whenever these players would drop into these areas is now you can have Wingers that can invert ultimately drawing the play narrow and then you have fullbacks that can overlap in these areas we actually have that now both ways the same with all mo heat drops lamin can come in drawing this players narrow and then you have the overlapping going on right and also these two players being so deep now they can actually now Barcelona has the quality on both Wings to release the likes of laminal and Rafia right and witho we can actually have Rafia over on this left side and we know how that when he presses we are actually good and also with the gag and pressing that it's it's it's just so much better with Almo right like I said it's like having two pedes right ball control and one thing that stands out about Almo for me is the way that when he controls the plate deeper right he's press resistance uh it's it's just remarkable and the way that he's driving and when he's deep that allows pedri to go up the pitch right so the same with pedri if pedri is deeper that allows uh then Al to go deeper so these two players together is just going to create it's just going to be incredible for us the reason why I'm saying it feels like we have two pedes now is because they are similar in characteristics right Ando also allow ped now to be a central Midfield a little bit closer in a double pivot right because Almo is taking a lot of that creative responsibility off of pedri so pedri don't need to be everywhere now anymore he can focus on his half space and be positional right and take care and the amount of times that all Mo and pedri both are transitional uh players that can be good and T twist and turn and also be press resistant so to all of the B channels and influencers that cried online yes we didn't treat gundan good but I mean the board is in a situation and uh I don't blame them the guys are desperate right and this signing of Almo actually means more to pedri meaning that pedri doesn't have to be everywhere anymore right he doesn't have to be in in a gap or he doesn't have to be the only one to arrive late onto the box I actually want to talk about both goals here and I think this these two goals actually had or have a lot more in common than we actually think a lot of relationism here right between these two goals because here you see that pedri is driving up the pitch right and allo is staying a little bit deeper and pedri can of course drive and for Elmo's presence is actually allowing pedri because if if if if Almo wasn't on the pitch pedri would have been the deeper one and pedri having the ball right now that might have been rafina having the ball right so pedri has the weight of the pass and the quality to to pick out Rafia in that area right over there so he lays it off to Rafia and Rafia stays wide and therefore he gives it back to to to pedri right if that was foran Tores I don't think we score there I don't think we score there so pedri then receives the ball in this space right here and then we actually score the goal for Barcelona so a lot of relation and look at the goal from Danny Elmo now if we look at all's gold you can see here in the Hop space you have Bal whatever he was doing there right right but look at how you have lamin and kundai in that area and that is actually a triangle right over there right and then you can see lamin is taking on his play as he attacking the by line uh right and this can happen both ways now for Barcelona actually and lamin get in the good area or of course trying to score the goal and this is what I was talking about balance what's pedri doing on the left side with Rafia uh Alo can do that with Lin right relationism is bringing to Barcelona right Almo of course receives the ball then in this era what a great turn the this guy made here in order to to shake off those Defenders next to him and he lays it off in the far left corner which was a sensational strike for Danny Alo right so great goal but what do these two goals have in common now what both of these two goals have in common is the fact that they came from the half space or wide at least they were crossed back to two by two three eight right and do not forget or underestimate the importance of Robert levandowski in this instance he was the guy that was drawing a lot of players uh away from from the center which allowed Danny Alo to receive the ball in this area right over here and then he could actually finish it the same with pedri levandowski was drawing the guys away from the center so Barcelona is now going to be able to have balance and be a threat from both sides because we have two great players that can control the game and has the quality to find players and then we have Wingers who have speed out wine so my question is do you think we still need Nico Williams the one-on-one situation if the verticality because with the verticality we're going through the center most of the time anyway so I want you to tell me do we still need niiko Williams so flick didn't have to do much really but I want you guys to think back in the first game of the season when rafina was like the the the number 10 and then we had casaro and Bernal when we thought that pedre's control was missing and how pedri was coming to change the game now with allmo we have that times two we have doubled the quality now controlling the game and finding these fastest and that's pretty much whato brings to the steam balance as always guys please do subscribe to the channel what do you think about Elmo's debut uh thank you very much subscribe as always thank you for watching
