Good morning tactics fans and welcome to the #Wednesday newsletter – full of analysis, scouting and tactics. Fill up on your football knowledge – follow the Total Football Analysis page and be part of the squad that want more than just a match report.
Yesterday, Rui Martins previewed one of the Copa Libertadores semi-finals and today he is back looking ahead to the other – Boca Juniors face Palmeiras in a very juicy encounter and we explain how the game could play out tactically.
Valerenga have moved away from the Eliteserien relegation zone in recent weeks and set-pieces have played a part – Marcel Seifeddine breaks down what they are doing and why it is helping them avoid the drop.
As we become more and more aware of the women’s game on a global scale, hot prospects appear all the time and today David Astill has a scout report on an El Salvador star who you should keep an eye on.
Yesterday’s TFA Scouted was on a player currently plying his trade in Australia’s A-League – Daniel Arzani of Melbourne Victory appeared on our scouting list this week and we are very pleased he did. Arzani is a clever attacker who can play wide or through the middle off a striker – xGOLD matches him with Plea of BMG and Raphinha of Barcelona and having video scouted him, our team believe he can jump from the Tier 6 A-League to a Tier 2 club immediately.
Will Still led Reims to a 2-1 away victory over Lille in Ligue 1 last night — we analysed the promising 30-year-old coach’s tactics with Les Rouges et Blancs back in January as part of our TFA 23 for 23 magazine special.
Vedat Muriqi scored his third straight LaLiga goal to help Mallorca earn a 2-2 draw versus Barcelona last night — back in 2020, we analysed why the Kosovan forward was in high demand.
After having been heavily linked to Lyon when their managerial spot was vacant recently, it seems Gennaro Gattuso is set to join their Ligue 1 rivals Marseille. With that news, why not recap how AC Milan set up under the legendary midfielder back in 2018 via our old tactical analysis?
Mathys Tel grabbed his fifth goal of the season in his eighth game last night as FC Bayern strolled to a 4-0 DFB Pokal victory over SC Preußen Münster. Check out our in-depth scout report on the now-18-year-old talent.
That’s it for today – we’ll be back tomorrow with more tactics, analysis and scouting. Spread the word!
