The Portuguese fullback has had an outstanding season so far for Man City, playing a key role in a so far successful season for the blues. So what’s an inverted wing back? Let’s take a look at the way Guardiola has deployed Cancelo.
First taking a look at the defensive aspect of the inverted wing back. The inverted wing back functions much like a standard full back or wing back would by dropping into their backline. However, whilst a traditional full back or wing back will offer width to an attack, usually through overlapping runs, the Inverted Wing Back will look to drift inside and create space for players around them.

At Bayern Munich we saw the first iteration of Guardiola’s Free eights with inverted full backs. Guardiola joined the European Champions who won the treble playing a 4-2-3-1 with traditional, overlapping full backs playing behind inverted wingers but Pep looked to evolve the side. His use of Philipp Lahm and David Alaba as inverted full backs saw a fundamental change to the way Bayern operated.

The 2020/21 season has seen Guardiola move towards an in-possession shape of a 3-4-3 diamond.
This shape is created from a 4-3-3 base and Cancelo operates as an inverted wing back from both the left back slot, where he’s on the opposite side to his stronger foot, as well as the right back slot. Regardless of his position, City create this attacking shape by using their wingers to hold the width, one midfielder moves to number 10 to support the striker whilst the other remains in a number eight position as Cancelo makes up the fourth midfielder.

Cancelo looks more comfortable going forward, Walker loses the ball too often but Cancelo not only carries the ball elegantly but also provides pin point crosses which are a delight to watch, can’t wait to watch him in the Euros for Portugal
Portugal are going to win it easy
@@StatmanDave now u jinxed it
Well for us I doubt he will have that freedom. He will probably play as a normal full back
@@tomasgouveia2277 Relax Fernando santos lacks imagination he will only play him RB
Walker does not lose the ball often. If you watch him play he never takes on players or drives forward. He only goes up to assist his wingers and make overlaps. He also stays back in corners free kicks. Pep plays him because he is as fast or faster than nearly all wingers and because of his ability to switch the play when his opposite winger is free.
Coming from a Man United fan, but can't hide the fact that Cancelo has been great this season with Man City
He really has Ihab
@@StatmanDave for sure, without doubt 👍🙌
He is the best in pl if you ask me...even aronld is bit slow to him...his shots are quite amazing on both foots i doubt his ability to defend but he is certainly improved that too... Portugal missed him during euro for sure
@@alokbhoi8757 he has a good left foot which make him versatile, he can play in every position,
Not for nothing that he is the best dribbler for city in 2021/2022 and the start of this season too. Stats are crazy for a full back
So happy Dave’s on the Kick off tonight. Finally a guest to talk some tactical sense.
He would make a good guest in any football related podcast
@@pkingglazersout6665 couldn’t agree more.
LETSS GOOOOOOO
Cheeers Naty
When does it start?
Have you heard Man U have inverted wingers and strikers? The wingers don’t cross the ball like any other winger and the strikers purposely don’t put the ball in the net, pure genius!
at the time he looked like an overpriced fullback but he's paying his worth 60m this season, just like stones is paying his worth of 50m
100%
When Pep came to England he was often asked how/whether he adapted his style to the league. And while I'm sure he did that to some extend - had other things to worry about than in other leagues - he said and has _always_ said: "I adapt to the qualities of my players." And it shows particularly this season where he has adapted the team to the qualities of Cancelo and also Rodri - who wasn't a like for like replacement for Fernandinho, as everyone could see last season, making people wonder if Rodri was the right fit. At the same time we've seen how the offensive approach has slightly changed over the past season or two due to the loss of Sané and his directness
I've been waiting for Cancelo to finally get his chance... and he hasnt disappointed
Dave could you do artetas 4231 tactics
Been done already
@@ismailyaboy720 Has it?
Can you do a tactical analysis on ryan gravernberch or sergej mili savic
As a Utd fan it’s great seeing Cancelo’s improvement especially after barely being able to get game time last season. Would’ve loved for him to come during his Juve spell
Please can you do a video on Tuchels tactics at Chelsea and how they are superior to Lampard’s, especially defensively
Soon my friend
In a way it’s almost like a modern WM formation.
Spot on 👍
Pep is just great man, just great.
This is your best work, Dave! Pretty insightful analysis.
Cancelo has been on fire this season, no doubt! Good stuff, Dave!
great one Dave, love me some Cancelo, also I think it really proves pep and city's quality and audacity to be one of the first teams to execute the 3-4-3 diamond so beautifully.
Love the content Dave keep it up Bro❤️👍🏻
I’ve been struggling of what type of player I am and some friends say fullback and others say hold midfielder but this is what I am and will be doing in any game I play
your coach is gonna kill you.
Love this vid Dave and ur twitch streams. Keep it up and I hope u grow deservedly
Thanks Seth. You absolute legend.
I love how you brake it down and let us truly understand
beautifull explanation
would love to see more such vids regarding other players too like theo hernandez,jordi alba , TAA , robertson , carvajal , renan lodi , etc
Am i the only one who gets hyped when he Dave says, "Lets get this party started"
The hype is real
How would a team deal with cancelo bcs his just too good technically and he plays in multiple positions through the game
Excellent video pointing out the evolution of Pep's inverted FB role.
Haven't seen a player's fortunes turn around so much thanks to a tactical change in quite a while. Cancelo looked a pointless transfer last season.
Thanks Space
then there's ole with his "fantastic , go and express yourselves boys"
Dead manager lol
@@yaboi5509 decent manager
Yea,they did express themselves once again against City 😌
@@ikennaduru170 man utd were so expressive that they nullified cancelo and he had to be sub off
@@loubloom777 Yea,I haven't seen Cancelo subbed, that will tell you about how Shaw&Rashford caused him all sorts of problems
I always miss the live...and i set the reminders😢
One day buddy. Come join us on twitch. Live every Friday at 12:00.
Love this vid!
Cheers Magnus
Southgate should take notes and do this with Trent
100% with Sancho ahead.
Don’t think Trent would be able to handle the defensive duties required
Trent isn’t technical enough to play in midfield.
Interestingly in recent games we've seen Aaron Wan Bissaka play a bit more inverted, especially with Dan James in front of him. The reason is likely because in the past, James and Wan Bissaka has occupied the same space a lot of the time effectively crowding each other.
I love baller wingbacks, and I really love this trend. Started seeing Trent drifting more to the middle and utilize the half-space too. I feel like Telles also has this potential, if only United can facilitate it.
About to have some fun with this on Football Manager 😈
5:35 I'd be really curious to know if someone has been able to recreate that shape (classic 4-3-3 without the ball, that evolves into a 3-4-3 diamond with the ball) in Football Manager...
Could you do a tactical analysis on why adama is actually really important to wolves despite having no goals and assists. Creates so much space
Speed !
Shaw toasted him yesterday, man got hooked off after 65’ minutes lol!
Hey Dave what do you think of united using wan bissaka as an inverted full back who moves into the holding midfield position alongside fred letting mctomminay push up into the right half space and letting him make runs into the box whilst james holds the width on the right as a traditional winger/wingback would
Our gem🇵🇹
Everyone amazed with Pep and his ideas he’s using 343 with a tight diamond in midfield with one wide midfielder dropping in to create a 433 in their build up play Cruyff was doing the same thing with Barca when Pep was playing
What software are you using for the tactics? Thanks
Zinchenko also plays a similar role, and he’s performed pretty well in that role this season. I don’t see walker being a starter anymore
Hey Statman Dave could you do a set up for the Jamaican notional team??
Cancelo have been excellent at Right Inverted Fullback.
Now City has been rumored to sign in Gosens from Atlanta, Imagine both of them playing just made me crazy, lol.
Next week: What is an inverted nipple
Lol
I'm starting up as a coach for u15 and have a question for Guardiolas wing (not wingback) role - does the wings ALWAYS stay wide? And how much do the attacking wings work in defence? Would really appreciate if anyone would elaborate.
I was hoping no one would notice the creative work of Cancelo.
yes
Every season Man City performs greatly, there'll be a video about Pep's inverted wingback
My favourite TH-cam series of all content.
Is Dave's What Is
Should do more of the videos.
👀
I want united to hire him he will be soo good and can improve the management so much 💥
yo Statman, do you think Klopp could try a similar thing with Trent? If so, do you think it would work?
Of course he is!!!
Do a wan bissaka one pls david
Dave, is there any chance we will see you again on Stratford Paddock?
Don’t really have the time anymore mate. 😭
Hi Statman Dave would you mind making a a video on United's current offensive problems
We talked about it on Twitch today. Go check it out.
Ole that's the answer😴
@@raheemmorrison1895 man Dave literally highlighted your reply 😂😂😂😂
@@raheemmorrison1895 this is like 80% true
@@jinyaotan1140 lol indeed it is
dave has spoken about cancelo, pls speak about saka, he needs some justice done to him
🤝
Cafu+Roberto Carlos 🔥🔥🔥
Who is better tactically in your opinion saf or pep?
are there any other inverted fullbacks currently used in other top European clubs??
Occasionally see it from Kimmich at Bayern. Much less this season tho
Theo Hernandez at Milan 😁
Yooo dave
Yoooooo
Cancelo got spun by Luke Shaw though, he is so focused on attacking that sometimes he becomes defensively vulnerable.
Guardiola tatics video pls
Moyes masterclass vid this season allow?
Hahahahah
You ever doing a tuchel video lol
Cancelo is top top
I come here to fix my fifa settings
Manchester is RED 💥💥💯
Dave should be a manager
Yes cancelo is de best
Cancelo may be the best fullback in the world
But Dani ALVES is the best fullback in the history of football 🤘❤️❤️💪💪
Best fullback in the world.
(5:15) 2021 formation
To me cancelo is the 2 best player at city kdb being the top from not much.
Finally some different content. Tired of the Man Utd stuff
😘
Agreed - defo better talking about citeh
@@StatmanDave don’t blow me kisses bro. 😂
I don’t roll like that. 😅
Cancelo turned his pl career around
Big respect to him for that
Come on, it’s not like this is new,... Mattia De Sciglio has been doing this for the best part of 10 years,.....
I believe it was done in the 70s by the Dutch.
Trent Alexander Arnold would be such a good Man City player
*an
I think it’s underestimated how good Zinchenco is as an “inverted full back” as he brings defensive stability in the double pivot..
Also don’t forget city’s wingers always hug the touch line in transition and don’t run to the back post unless they are in the final 3rd ....
Zinchenko works very well in the role.
Yup best in world football currently 💪💙
Ffs. I agree...
That is Miranda’s PES United FYI.
Ao ashi brought me here
Shaw is a better lb but a good midfielder
Cancelo is 100 times better than TAA
This season for sure.
@@StatmanDave did u talk about his influence on twitch too? I just don't understand this player enough besides his crosses
After watching this, Ole better ditch the 4-2-3-1 for a 3-5-2 the Pentagon shape against City
are you kidding me??Cancelo is not a fullback he is a number 10😂😂😂
Peps been doing this for years have people only just noticed 🤔
Cancelo is different to all the other players pep has used as inverted fullback, pep has previously used inverted fullbacks as way to prevent counter attacks or give him numerical advantage in midfield, they weren’t very creative, Cancelo is playing much higher like #10, he is Man City secondary creator behind KDB.
@@AliMohamed-yq4wn mate hes done it for years done it at Barca Bayern and now Man City it is nothing new at all lol
@@devilred7506 he never used inverted fullbacks at Barcelona, he had Eric Abidal and Dani Alves traditional attacking fullbacks no need to use inverted fullbacks, first time he used inverted fullbacks was at Bayern Munich with Philipp Lahm, pep has used inverted fullbacks previously but not the same way he uses Cancelo.
@@AliMohamed-yq4wn bro they don’t do the same thing every game. Sometimes they overlap sometimes the make inverted runs and sometimes they roam the midfield to suffocate the opposition ffs 🤣
@@AliMohamed-yq4wn he 100 percent used the same play at every single club he’s been at
After that Manchester united ended the run🕳️🏃♂️
Why do you elongate every word?
No wonder pep Guardiola has a big head
Lol
As clever as it is, Im not a fan of it(inverted full backs and tiki taka). More of a fan of the Klopp way and traditional full backs
I am a fan of both 😁
Depends on what you have. If you have players like Silva, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Gundogan it'd be naïve to play with 2 flying wingbacks. Pep's Barca only had one in Alves
On the flipside if your midfielders are more like Liverpool's flying wingbacks are a must
I think we've seen how even just adding in one 'tiki taka' type midfielder in Thiago can leave Liverpool more vulnerable to counters at times
How i wish statman dave was the man utd coach... he's tactics are way better than ole..man utd are finished with ole
If you can imagine how dumb juve management and board are ....No way Ronaldo played there 3season....
Too bad he was a stinker against utd
Plastic oil
Pep never coached Toni kroos
Kroos played one season under pep
