On this episode of the TFA Podcast, host Adam Scully speaks to TFA analyst Caio Miguel as the duo discuss the current tactical revolution happening in football now as coaches look for alternatives to widespread positional play.

Relationism is a hot topic in the analytics sphere and Caio breaks down all the principles of this functional style, using examples from coaches such as Fernando Diniz at Fluminense, Lionel Scaloni with Argentina and even Juanma Lillo, the grandfather of positional play, with his new club Al-Sadd. This a must-listen episode!
