- Against Manchester City in the Champions League, Diego Simeone used a 5-5-0 for a large portion of the first half. Why did he do it ? How did it work ? Why was it so effective defensively ? Here is a tactical analysis of this 5-5-0.
#Simeone #Tactics #Atletico
Takes incredible fitness, concentration and situational awareness to do this.
I love that about Atletico.
@@zaeidanis you love boring football?
@@bosanskipatriota2295 keeping the ball in possession and doing useless passes is the real boring football
@@mustafajuventino9964 what else can you do in 5-5-0 lmao
@@bosanskipatriota2295 You don't get it 🤦
the 5-5-0 worked well in this match imo. it never looked like man city were going to score. jus pure defending into huge attacking opportunities which unfortunately never came to be a goal but i think on another day atleti score 2 in tht match
This is why they only score 1 lol
Stupid comment ever
This is why their football is boring, football is supposed to be fun, attacking constantly, creating chances, not this 5 5 0 lmao
What another day mate. They scored 0 in 180 min. Go watch batminton or smth else
Ol
People don't realise it now but Simeone has just introduced new blue-prints to the game of Football.
You say it's boring but Football is more than Goals or fun it's pure Tactical and this 5-5-0 will definitely be use by other coaches/Managers
E.g it's a Final the underdogs go 1:0 up and then for the remaining duration (10min, 30min 70min) they switch to 5-5-0 to completely shut out attacks (pure Defending/Ultra Defending)
It's like throwing bodies forward
The flip side to that
Is Holding bodies back
He may not have too much silverware but Simeone is like the Busquets of Football
its nothing new, it was played before already, but simeone is the first one to use 5-5-0 without scoring a single goal before XD
@@spokomorda7891 with 5-5-0 maybe you cant win but you sure cant lose either hahahahhaha
There’s nothing new about parking the bus lmao. It’s cowardly not genius
@@ogy19 but they did lose lol
@@AstroKidLo not at all cowardly football is not just attacking. And doing something different is not cowardly but brave.
as a football manager fans , this is a masterclass.. you just earned a new subscriber.. keep it up !
I can win this tactics in Uefa champions league
@@user-mv4pq7tu2x it's not that easy, that's why Diego Simeone has never won UCL😂😂😂
@@ASAPHMARKhe hasn’t won because Ramos scored a last minute header in 2013/14 and Griezmann + Juanfran missed pens in 2016
@@ASAPHMARKeinmal hätte sie es schon 2016 aber das garb es noch kein VAR deswegen wurde das abseits von ramos nicht gesehen
@@ASAPHMARK but in 2010s he's going in the same amount of UCL final as pep that we all know using tiki taka and full attacking strategy.
Spurs do this every time against City. This is why they went 2-0 against them this year.
Sonny is just a much better runner.
Yeah and lucas aswell
no, Spurs against city play a drop back 3 4 2 1, when without possesion a 5-4-1, they never play 5-5-0, the reason atletico failed is because griezman is slow and Felix is not fast enough to beat the likes of walker and cancelo, Spurs have Much Faster players in kulisevski and son to make runs in behind once possesion is regained, and since kane is not the fastest, he is usually the Player to long the ball in for son and kulisevski, and also unlike atletico's 5-4-1, Contes 5 4 1 presses when the oppurtunity more, but make sure not to commit to much people. Huge Huge difference from what Simeones Atletico do
That’s true. We just need some pacemen
Love Simeone!! He is the most realistic person on earth!! He knows open play will be a disaster, so this helps!!
This is by far the best analysis

@@bowomandatory3822 ok.....cool...
This was a pure tactical game
No shit Sherlock
u sure??? 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Of course it was a pure tactical game, defending requires as much effort as attacking needs or, only people with a bit of sense can understand this
@@TheFirstAirbender1036 i Hope u understand one day
worst tactics in football
what we 100% know is that atleti touched mc playerss feelings, that in the second half of the second leg: atleti was in possesion more than city, atleti made 13 attempts on target(mc made only 1), that mc was so demoralized ederson and defenders just kicked the ball away from the goal, that guardiolas tiki-taka and gegenpressing transformed into crying, touching the grass and "neymars rolling™"
bro he played 10 in deffense in his away game that depressing football
@@shreked5973 they're basically playing for Champions league final ticket , whilst you sitting in your room 12hr a day and they're the one that deppressing?
Wait wasn't it Athleti that lost their cool and got in their own way when they were starting to gain momentum in the game?
And you reference Foden rolling back on the pitch which is the exact kind of shithousery Athleti are famous for and it worked a charm😂
I was really impressed with the mentality of City in those games. They showed they could be champions.
@@spa2damax "wait" - that's what the doctor said when your mother was giving birth to you
a man becomes furious when dealing with a nervous, hysterical woman. time to apologize brit
1-0 🤫🤫🤫
One of the only ways of beating Pep, Jose and Diego both parked the bus against him and he couldn’t break it down most of the time
I think otherwise. Pep's teams almost always breaks low blocks. Winning like this is so rare. Best way to play against pep is high pressing counter attacking way.
Thinking about time spent drawing for a 5 minutes video analysis 🥵. Nice job ! Thanks !!
This is a situational strategy that worked against Man City. Case in point, I think a team like Bayern with aggressive wing and crossing combined with aerial plays dismantles this style. Bayern won 5-1 in 2020 UCL though at the time Atletico used a 4-4-2 formation.
At this point we Atletico should be willed to Simeone! He is their emblem, soul, a change in manager will be soo catastrophic...
Simeone take back Griezmann from Barça because he is a smart player , fast , clinical and can defend pretty good
Nah he isn't very good anymore in a lot of aspects including his pace, however his defensive work is incredible.
Griezmann is shit
@@masoomahmed194 lol what now? he is back to his best , One of the very best player right now.
Love the special effects made and the sound!!!!!
Must run at teams playing like this. They can defend all day long against a team going side to side hoping to pull them out of position.
Japan 1:1 Vietnam in the FINAL Round of WC Qualification (AFC) proves this comment to be true
Absolutely Correct. Hence the invaluable nature of " La Fantasia" Creative Attackers are the key to unlocking stubborn defenses
Gran video!! Cholo es un ídolo, soy argentino y me hice del Atleti por el, me encanta como juegan sus equipos. Me alegro que la gente entienda que es táctica y los comentarios son positivos. El fútbol se puede jugar de muchas maneras. Buen video! 💪🏻🔴⚪🇦🇷
Es increíble como los fanáticos ingleses lo llenan de elogios y ven el trabajo de Simeone, mientras que en España lo cagan a criticas por su juego (mejor dicho en España y LA) como si no fuera válido.
@@EyDary yo no entiendo a los que Critican la forma de juego. Es fútbol mientras esté dentro del reglamento se puede hacer para poder ganar.
Es más te digo algo, hay equipos con presión alta y ofensivos que hacen más faltas, para no quedar mal parados en los contraataques. Eso sí no me parece lícito, si el atlético corta el juego con foul está mal. Si defiende está perfecto
Atletico is one of the few clubs that keep it real
Someone said, this is prehistorical, but we can see here that this is the most technical hypermodern system of defense with geometrical order, soft waste of energy and efective work, even beautiful work.
It’s a playoff game. This matches are played smartly. Knowing that you’re closing the leg at home, this game was meant not to try to lose, but if losing, lose by the minimal. Knowing that you’re playing for the champions league spot in the league, since they’ll never win it, course. Makes this, to me, a cautious, yet clever game by someone. You’ll see he’ll make a comeback. And possibly beat man city.
that ended well
Exactly ! Atletico doesn't play like this in LaLiga, otherwise wouldn't have been able to consistently finished in the Champions League bracket for 10 years and win the Liga TWICE ! (They already currently are the Top 3 Scoring Team of LaLiga)
@@AndreasZervas
Yes, Atletico broke City's passing game and forced them to go through by resorting to the dark arts antics and some stroke of luck (legit penalty was waived off)
@@amenstal123 cry as much as u want atletico players are full of shit playing "the dark magic football" and they lost cause they r done see ya next year
They need face pace wing or st like mbappe to do the chase it will guarantee a goal instead of Griezmann cant make a good run....
Subscribe right away after seeing the visual and audio. Made it incredibly easy and engaging to understand.
I like how you analyze play this way. This makes it easier to follow
they anticipate almost every pass for instance with the one two at the beginning between the lines thats why they are so effective in the defense they reduce the time for the opponent significantly and are very aggressive in the duels
Like the tactical view of the video and definitely earned a sub! Personally i hate the sneery attitude towards defensive, physical football and the idea that tiki-taka and/or gegenpressing are the only ways of play
Thanks bro for nice illustration.... I'm a New follower. Good luck
Oronzo Canà went as far as adopting a 5-5-5 system. He was a pioneer
I am very happy to discover this channel😁 keep going👏👏
I just saw the elements of this formation in the copa del rey match btw barca and madrid were Barcelona was defending by using 1-4-5 formation were on 1 player on the front and the others on the defensive lines , this formation was were helpful against real madrid who were attacking with possession.
What simone did is crazy but a good tactical move but he lost the match, while what xavi did is that the striker will be at front and others on the defensive line, this paid off,as during the counter attack the striker and wingers will make the run which attract the defenders and cdms which will enable the cms to be not noticed or not marked which means that they are free and are a much better position to strike. This why Barcelona beat real madrid.
great video.Keep the great job bro!
Ngl the level of animation...take my subscription.
Bro u are doing great keep going!!👏🏼
Loved the graphics
Yo I love the name of your channel! Also looking forward to seeing more content
The illustrations are so good and explanatory. +1 sub. 👍 💯
Love it. Great work again. look forward to your next breakdown.
Guardiola literally tried everything to score: 3-1-6, 4-1-5, 1-4-5. Amazing.
Stay safe stay blessed, keep going, need more content like this, nice editing
Luckily it was Simeone who did this kind of tactic.
If it was Mourinho, my fb home page and TH-cam video recommendations from channel like Sky Sports will have at least more than 10 posts that blasting Mourinho about this each day..
Idk Simeone is pretty universally hated.
@@szczepan4737 not universally at all. Hes very polarising. You love him or hate him.
Best analysis video. Very visual and attractive
Lovely tactical analyses.
the video was greate, keep it up
People would say playing like this is cheap. In reality, no.
It requires steel-strength of patience and coordination. It's actually high risk-high reward. A goal conceded would make the players drop and start panicking, crumbling the defence, since they cant retaliate as they like.
Like those crybaby fifa and pes mobile player complaining opponent spamming long ball, cross, backpass etc lol
Awesome graphics love it!!
That's fucking art
What a great computer program to illustrate strategy.
I started a conversation with some guys which I’d like someone to explain here. Is a deep block, the same as parking the bus and the same as a low block?
Goal scored, tactics etc remind me of like old paintings where people just look and overthink it when really it's not as ingenious as you thought it was
I think that long shoots is the only way to counter this tactical since getting closer is giving enemy the ball
Damn, that's seems right
The 5-5-5 (called B Zone) is the best tactic ever.
From the Docu-Film "L'allenatore nel pallone", 1984, Oronzo Canà, Longobarda...
Crazy to see how far Pep's tactics have evolved since this game, basically unrecognizable
it's pretty much the same thing
love your stuff bro, very easy to see and understand! unlike those chess-like touchscreen people use. see you when you reach 100k+ subs 👍
Would you make the 2nd leg analysis?
To have Atlético's players and refuse to fight for possession is outrageous. Simeone is a great match killer. Yes, can be effective, but play like this and no one is watching football in two months. Liked the bubble music. Good video.
what are you on about it's like a chess match. really intriguing
@@thecurious926 but this is football, not chess. We can take things from chess, but not everything. Football needs chaos to be engaging
@@ivanbonet4 for you. I like this better than teams giving city a free pass just because they are technically better
@@thecurious926 I get your point, but this mentality works for an inferior team. Atlético squad is a top level team. That's why it's sad
@@ivanbonet4 yah football with a price this is not normal football where you just play with your friend
Masterclass 😮
OMG !!! Great video !!
Every Football club need manager like him💙💙💙👌
Very good analysis, you've earned a new sub. Can you do a video on Liverpool?
0:54 now you know why is it called "park the damn bus"
Nice analysis for the game..you got one subscriber from me
I MISSED EDERSON GETTING INTO CITY ATTACK TOO
El cholo Simeone one of my favorites coaches & he has the best top salary in Europe
Holy! That is awesome!
how do u get this camera angle?
Simeone is a genious, but this 5-5-0 I saw it before in Arteta in his first seasons, and the last time I remember was vs Chelsea last year all 2nd half winning 0-1. Some people think this is boring and terrorism but they are the same that then if you lose playing "nice" football, wish you get sacked. As manager I love the low/mid block good defense (high press too) but I would never criticize other systems and less because of results, as it has been shown that ANY style is invincible
(Sorry for my english)
why do i feel like seeing the explaining of some nations tactics during a war
great video，may I ask what software u use to make that lines and space mark？
you should do this analysis for Gasperini's Atalanta too
please see this comment! atalanta plays as if they have 13 or 14 players during some of their attacks
wonder what would have happened if he kept the 5-5-0
Great video
How did you do the graphics? Simple effective and easy to understand
I use Tactic by RT Software
@@inthehalf-space3169 thank you. Is that where you get the clips as well? I notice your videos tend to have the same angle
5-5-0 formation should add at fifa game...
You deserve a subcribe
Love the video! Where do you create your graphics for the clips?
I use Tactic by RT Software.
@@inthehalf-space3169 Thank you!
Gosh! I hope Barca would have done this against Bayern in that 8-2 loss
It would be entirely against Barca's principles.
If Barca played only to not let their opponents win by hook or crook, would legends like Xavi, Iniesta and Messi have prospered?
Simeone and Mourinho may play like this, but Pep and Jurgen never would..
Pep and Jurgen care more about the game and the fans, not about the win.
@@VesseshHebbar well pep played same in second half of second leg ...Moron watch matches first before u spout nonsense
@@VesseshHebbar you are right but I was being specific about this match. The terror was there and result came out accordingly
"No no no that's normal, everyone is a false 9 depending on situation." - D.S.
The only mistake was not putting Crassco on in the 55th minute for Greeseman.
I hope you will upload more.
SImone mistake was change from 5-5-0 to 5-4-1
Agree. It's just that he came for a win too so he changed the formation for more attack. He didn't play for a lose or a draw like some people thinks. Maybe the effectiveness of defending in the first half made him felt safe to lower guard.
Excelente edición
Reinildo left his marking on De Bruyne and went in to challenge Foden which left just the needed space for De Bruyne to run in to exploit and finished with a clinical shot. But Guardiola should not make this 5-5-0 such a big deal because he has already faced the same Simeone Atletico with his Barca and Bayern before which both Simeone won.
This is my first time heard a 5-5-0 tactic, i used to play football manager, but never thought about this idea at all..
Even if there is a 5-5-0, i also didnt imagine any team would use it in a real match.. more over at ucl quarter final
Simeone that bastard
Big Sam mastered it before Simeone
There is a reason no team uses it ...attack is the best form of defence ....unless you have both Messi and Ronaldo in your front you cannot expect 2 players to dribble past 4-6 players and score goal after getting possession from parking bus
@@rodi2641 maybe simeone thought that attacking city has more risk than defense, after all. That game was held at etihad
In Italy we call it "double bus in front of the goal" and i think that is the worst side of football.
Also it is an old tecnique, and simeone that play for Lazio and Inter he knows very well!
Ps: in Italy we have also the famous 5-5-5 from longobarda coached by the great "Oronzo Canà"!
Lmao italians only have good opinions on pizza. Try to play attacking vs Mancity
@@chinmayrevant8750 so Simone does the same as 10 other premier league coach? Masteeeeeerclasssss
Bus parking technique. 😂
It was good video 👍🏻
What do you use to create your graphics?
So when we getting this for FIFA?
losing 0-1 at manchester is not a bad result for Atletico
If they play like this against man city again... They will have no shots toward the goal again
@@rajnibrown2194 Why would they play like this? People really can't understand that main goal was not to concede or to concede maximum 1 goal on Etihad. Now they need to score and there's literally no reason to play 0-5-5
@@erichvonmanstein3012 and where exactly did i say they would play the same? And i have a feeling they will play the same bcuz simone knows that if man city wins the midfield battle, they won't stop them from scoring
@@rajnibrown2194 They won't because it simply does not matter anymore if they lose 0-2 or 0-3 on aggregate. Even if he plays defensively I believe it's gonna last only for half time and then switch to attack, or he may attack first 10 minutes, score an early goal and then switch to defense. There's no point in playing 0-5-5 anymore, you can't even counter-attack with such tactics.
@@rajnibrown2194 Atletico need new players
Suarez is old
To me, personally, if they can bring Gabriel Jesus and 3 more players who really have a personality and have passion in defending like the italian players can have a shift on morale and believe in simeones system
Simeone is also a revolutionary.
Not really. He's just a Spanish Big Sam.
J"adore les équipes défensives 😂
What software do you use
In the second leg city gave the same medicine back to athleti in the second half.
What medicine, they lost their passing game because Atletico BROKE it, like we did to Peps Barcelona and Bayern before. City were hanging to mercy.
City performance were bad lol top premier league team and only scored 1
Someone is in the wrong game. A war general would be perfect for him.
Io ho visto fino a SEI difensori in linea! E credo che ciò sia il futuro del Calcio.
Well well ell explained, simeone is very crazy🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes atletico played very good and miss many many chance sad to loss atletico
They barely had any chances but I do think this tie was closer than most people think
If the scoreline would have been atm 1 and man city nil then this formation would be a disaster
Eric Cantona : This is definitely not Joga Bonito
Simeone rockz..
