POSITIONAL
According to Coach Football, in order to create this type of superiority, we will have to train and study positions that we will then maintain at an equal pace. It is a positioning that we pre-establish and that makes it difficult for the opponent to know how to read plays. At that time, our team will be able to dominate the game.
A good example is Guardiola's Barça: they kept the ball and tried to find spaces to create chances.
