Corperate Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 The Vertical tiki taka system uses underlaps with 1 wide player only. Can someone explain how this works? Who is typically underlapping? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTHerringbone Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Can be the CMs or the full backs, depending on role and duty selection. It just encourages the wide players to hold onto the ball and help play build up - hence the inclusion in a possession based template. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corperate Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 Thanks for the response In systems with one wide player eg 41212 can you look for overlaps? what effect will this have? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTHerringbone Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Not sure if it has changed in recent years, but that instruction used to boost the mentality of overlapping players and get them doing more forward runs. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corperate Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 In this formation 41212 diamond who are the overlapping players? The wingbacks? or are the wingbacks looking for an overlapping player? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTHerringbone Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Yes, it's the wide defenders who will do the overlapping and the frequency with which it happens can be affected by the Role / Duty you use in those slots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robson 07 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) Good point @Corperate the language SI is using here in context with a narrow system is illogical. Hard to see who is being lapped. Edited November 20, 2020 by Robson 07 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
