Can you keep doing Barcelona analysis. As a Barca fan, it’s is nice to see what exactly goes on between the lines!!
Yeah it’s really helping me see what’s going on in the matches as I watch them
Raphinha gained position from Antoni Manchester and Rodrigo Real Madrid, you need to be patient with him.
Here in Brazil until today no one knows how to achieve this.
@@canaltrailersclassicos2532 silêncio
@@canaltrailersclassicos2532 I’m a FCB fan but I think Anthony is better player than Rapinha. His dribbling, shot and association with mates is much better. Rapinha need to improve his game a lot.
I think Jerome frimpong would be an amazing option at right back, he provides amazing support with overlapping and underlapping runs. His speed let’s him recover while also being a pretty good defender. Playing for a bayer Leverkusen side that aren’t doing that well this season It wouldn’t be impossible to sign him
To similar to balde. We need a defensive player there who is a decent passer imo
@@TimedOut4noReasonTrue
I read he wants to go to Real Madrid, had him in mind too.
However I’d also like TAA for a more expensive but also better option and Arnau Martinez for a young option, and ofc get rid of Bellerin.
@@TimedOut4noReason Barca alway had two offensive fullbacks and balde can defend perfectly fine, I wouldn’t call him a not defensive left back only because he can do a lot in attack
This channel is the best tactical analysis channel on TH-cam
Without any doubts hope he continues
Xavi should be watching this guy 😂😂😂
@@elviropereirajunior2285 that's i am sure he can learn a lot hope he ends up watching this
crap channel. they ignore my comments!
@@aphelelenomzanga8823 bruh stop that man someone like pep couldn't beat real Madrid with a strong man city, and xavi did with the worst barca. So please leave the criticism somewhere else. Yes, this channel is my favorite on TH-cam, but let xavi out of it.
I'd love an analysis of Argentina NT - what they are doing right, the strengths and weaknesses going into the WC, how they can replace Lo Celso, etc.
This!!!
Nooo just do it after the World Cup so other teams don't take advantage of it xD
Brazil, France, SPAIN, Germany and your country bro ENGLAND!
Would be interesting to see a video where you get a shortlist of pivots or right backs, and give your opinions about who could work the best for us
This is the best football channel I'm subscribed to. The quality of the analyses and how easy they are to undertand. Maybe I'm biased since I'm a Barcelona fan, but I can't get enough of these videos to understand Barcelona's tactical aspects
One of my friends recommended watching this channel and I am really mesmerized by the level of analysis truly unique...you've earned one more subscriber amigo!!!👌👍
I love your content brudda. keep going
Wasn’t Dest a promising attacking RB to provide that width when the winger inverts? I’m not saying he’s necessarily world class, but I was left with the feeling that he was underutilised. Cheers on the video, as always. 🎉
His decision making was poor,defensively a liability and his crosses weren't good
Also his positional awareness was terrible which is key to Barca's system.
@@miracleugwuogo6833 Better than Bellerin so far
@@Jay4you99 both just as shit tbh. Roberto is better than both rn until he had his injury
@@Jay4you99 trash vs garbage but you’re right
I've been thinking of maybe deploying Raphinha and Dembele on the same side. I know it sounds odd, however it would sorta look like a 4222 with one playing secondary striker and the other with more freedom as the '"RCAM". Both like some time on the wing and some time in the middle of the pitch, and they could continuously exploit each other's space. For example the secondary striker drops deep to collect the ball while the other one runs into the space left behind, and there are many more options. As for the "LCAM", you would have to deploy someone like Pedri who really just play like a false winger/nr.10, with Balde keeping wide at the left side of the pitch. Also because of this, the RB would not have to make overlapping runs, and would be more of an inverted fullback, supporting the defense and the midfield.
I just shared a similar idea in my comment. ;)
Wasted, that´s why a decent RB is much better choice
_"I've been thinking of maybe deploying Raphinha and dembele on the same side.."_
Same thought here..
I got the same idea, and I could also see balde and alba could switch side in the wing. if balde goes forward, alba goes back and def, vice versa
Barca should try this against smaller teams in La Liga. Moreover, those teams will always keep a back five, so the conditions would be optimum.
Awesome love the analysis and break down, another high quality video Purist Football. Would love to see Raphinia be utilized more in the half space
Great video mate
Hey dude big fan of your videos, really liked this one, I personally recommend, if you have the time and energy, doing videos about other teams and the respective tactics and players. Love ur stuff dude!
I was just about to say you should do a video on Leao! I can feel it coming
An unorthodox method is that Rapinha can invert and Gavi can overlap from CM. Liverpool has done it with Henderson and Salah. Gavi has not been great at attacking from half-space this season so this move can benefit both.
u can also get the good out of raphinha when he is holding width. when it’s a back 4 midblock he’s able to consistently beat his man and carry into the half space where he does his thing. but when it’s a low block/back 5 he does need someone to overlap but this someone doesn’t have to be the rb, it can be the rcm(pedri). xhaka and kdb are very good at this
This is good. Keep going
Purist, any interest in making a Pique Legacy video? Would love to hear you tactical take on how his career developed, high's and lows. and maybe could touch on his center back partnerships. Love your work by the way!
Great work! A great system only works with the right personnel.
Bro, i don't know if ur channel is for all the clubs in general or not , but i can say this is the best barca channel
You are going places mate
No lie man, your channel makes me love Barca even the more fam. Big ups💪🏽💙❤️
you're analysis of fc barcelona team is very instructive because it's a team that is u under construction and we learn a lot about offensif play and positional play in you're videos thanks purist football for youre efforts.
Bro your analysis is on point and he showed it on the game before the world cup
He's really good as a 10 🤩💯
Love the video, could you make a video about pedri and gavi
It would be an interesting video about the right back and cdm player barca should target. For me sangare, edson alvares for cdm. For right back getting timber and trying to transform him into a defensive ball playing right back could be interesting. Vanderson, pedro porro or malo gusto the other options but i would prioritize defensive players as i dont see sacrificing EVEN more defensive cover for the sake of a player like raphinha
My tactical understanding of football had increased thanks to you.
Phenomenal comparison.
Do videos on Arsenal and Arteta's project. Lots of similar principles so we can see what he's doing right over there
Maybe just play a 3 4 3 system where you can use both Raphina and Dembele? Since they are opposites and we don't have a RB, they might actually be brilliant togheter, left side Pedri can play LM easily or Balde and then have Christensen Araujo and Kounde (where both Kounde and Chris are used to a back 3)
I was thinking that as well, with de jong and kessie as the cms
We need more cb for that to materialize properly.
Ansu. Lewa. Demb
Pedri FDJ Kessie Raph
Chris Araujo Kounde
Or
Ferran Lewa Demb
Balde FDJ Pedri Raph
Chris Araujo Kounde
My favourite formation
@@sonwabilebooi1909 I don't see him benching Gavi, although I do like the back and front line. This system would also work well for Ferran.
I was actually thinking about this exact topic today.
Who do you think would be the right back for Barcelona. I think Malo Gusto and Frimpong are amazing options. Considering we need one, but we don't have a starting right wing, who do you think would work best for Raphinha or Ferran or Dembele. I would love to see your analysis about the best right back options for Barcelona, although there are very few.
great insight, I think if Barca deploy Gavi as an attacking RCM Mezzala (De Bruyne), with Kounde RCB and Pedri (LCM) that could open space for Raphinha to play in his most effective area; while also utilizing Gavi's agression and work rate.
I think that our best option for an attacking rb is Serginio Dest when he comes back from his loan spell at AC Milan.
More videos plz .... On every game
I'd agree, as a Leeds fan, I can tell you that Raphinha always looked at his best when Dallas or Ayling would run beyond him from RB, we also played Dallas in midfield during his first season who could do almost anything and was like Duracell bunny and was someone who just knew where he needed to be during build up to protect the defence or assist in attack, this all allowed Raphinha to do his most effective attacking play and cut in to link up with Bamford and Rodrigo or just do something all on his own, I think at Barcelona he doesn't really have the players to facilitate him doing this, getting a good right back who can run beyond him and link up with him and Gavi could be really effective. Maybe even Kounde could be trained to do that, we're seeing Ben White do that role more at Arsenal despite being seen as a more defensive player.
This is just long talk. A great player will always find a way to force the coach to play him I'm his most comfy position.
Raphina is simply not good enough for the elite level, he can't even score against laliga minows like Cadiz etc.
@@akachiedoggy5711 Raphinha gained position from Antoni Manchester and Rodrigo Real Madrid, you need to be patient with him.

Very interesting
Really good analysis. Regarding a right back, I would go for Hakimi or Frimpong or Dalot.
Fantastic video. I do think we need to groom/buy a class RCM along with class RB. And btw, you didn’t talk about Raphinha’s reduced take-ons. He’s barely tried or successful with the dribbles.
His successful dribble stats are pretty comparable to Ansu and Ferran which was very surprising to me. Now if we could just get Dembele more consistent with this.

MASTERCLASS
I agree we need a top class attacking RB in order to give our RW the option to play closer to the box. But considering that we were looking for a different kind of player in the last transfer window (Azpilicueta, Foyth) I think that we will not persue this kind of player in the next couple of transfer windows. I think Xavi wants the wingers to play wide.
Very good video... while bra NT has vini who can hog the left side which allows brazil to spread play, have been saying vanderson could be an option in rb given bra lack of quality there(second choice is militao or danilo who are not great in overlapping). This could make raphina even more dangerous for bra opposition
I think many of us would appreciate a "Messi watch" once a month, just to see how he's used and how he's been performing at PSG.
Would love to see simakan from rbl in the right back he is a monster
in my opinion the best right back who is genius in front is now Joao Cancelo, and he would be perfect scenario as a world class right back for Barcelona, unfortunately he's out of Barca range while he have contract to 2027 and 1 billion release clause, in term of much cheaper options and more in Barca range would be eiter Pedro Porro or Diogo Dalot
but in my opionion, i would consider trying in play at least for test the 4231, and make 2 pivots from frenkie and pedri, while gavi would be driving there as the left midfielder which would gave also Balde more options in attack, and then at the right midfielder play Dembele with Raphinha actually as CAM, and play him with dembele to constant swap positions in match, drifting wide and cut inside for both of them, that would give more opportunities for Raphinha to play this passes and if there is need, he can drift wide to wing to make cross, while dembele is gonna make a cut inside to try something, that's scenario i would try with current players, because of course when we get proper CDM after Busi end his contract we need to play this new world class CDM with then Frenkie as 2 pivots, that make us a need to sacrifice one of 3 players which in this case are Gavi, Dembele and Raphinha, and from this 3 for me Raphinha as for now is first to drop, because you can't drop Gavi from first XI as it is for now
Way too little goalscoring threat with just 3 natural forwards. Could work against weaker teams, but surely won’t get us to the level we need to beat the best teams again.
Gavi never played great next to De Jong, he shines next to Busquets cause Busquets is slow and Gavi is everywhere, bumping into players. When De Jong plays he is moving a lot and Gavi has to remain on a position and then you see he doesn't have inventivity, he doesn't control the game like Pedri, doesn't carry the ball or break the lines like De Jong - all that he does is running around and tackling opponents. Aggressivity doesn't mean skills, Xavi knows he is just average and that's exactly why he didn't played him against Bayern, cause the world would have seen the difference between Bayern's midfielders and Gavi - and we don't want to ruin a Golden Boy image, right?
@@shodaime93 so playing 3 natural forwards in 433 have more threat than playing THE SAME 3 forwards but in 4231? i dont understand your logic here
it's the same lineup but played differently, i was talking this about to use much more of Raphinha passing capability to move him into CAM, it's surely better to try him there rather than force him out of position to LW or do the same for dembele and move him to LW when on RW Raphinha cant do nothing for now
it's just changing play style from 433 with 3 forwards - Raphinha - Lewandowski - Dembele, with midfield - Pedri - Gavi - Frenkie, to other formation in 4231 and place them Lewandowski as Striker, Gavi at LM, Raphinha at CAM, Dembele RM and then 2 Pivots - Pedri and Frenkie
it's same goalscoring threat because you HAVE THE SAME PLAYERS IN LINEUP dude, it's just the system which changes to use much more of Raphinha strenghts
the other reason for trying double pivot system is because there's no one like Busi at pivot on the market, so in that case you need to choose, changing system to play 2 pivots and then use Frenkie as one of the 2, with the second one either new one bought on the market, or try Pedri there (kinda same as there is Parejo playing), or you need to buy different kind of a CDM which both Busi neither Frenkie are not, someone like Rodri or Tchouameni player style
and in term of our budget and before transfer window where we don't have any other CDM's in squad there is potential at least to try for pedri as kinda false pivot with frenkie, while Gavi would play false LM - and that would give much more space for Balde there
What do you think of Dalot for RB?
Btw good idea, Evaluating possible transfer options is fantastic content.
Also I think Man Utd or Arsenal are good choices for videos on other clubs
I never understood those kind of questions. Why would you ask about a player under contract with a different team, especially when Barcelona has a huge debt? Right now Dalot is playing really well under the new coach, he is at United, probably one of the few clubs at the same level with Barcelona - if the club wants to keep him why would he want to go to Barcelona? Right now you have Kessie and Ferran Torres, 2 transfers that are not used, are mainly on the bench plus Raphinha that is far away from the player he was at Leeds, Frenkie de Jong, a player that always performed well is benched so Xavi can use Gavi or old and slow Busquets.
Why would Dalot want to come to Barcelona from United? Sure, players from Sociedad or Leeds they are happy to come to Barcelona but not from big clubs, you don't see starters from Bayern, City etc to come to Barcelona, right?
@@notnotnownow9622wtf,I regret wasting my time on this rubbish
My thoughts have always been to play a 3:2:2:3. We don't have to necessarily choose who starts between Raphinha and Dembele! Both can start but with raphinha as Pedri's partner in the half spaces. Doubling up Dembele and raphinha gives Barca both the passing and dribbling threat on the right.
Coupled with a box-to-box double pivot of any of kessie, Frankie and Gavi, gives the team balance.
Balde can be employed in the back 3 with Kounde/Christensen and Araujo but with some freedom to move forward as Rudiger did at Chelsea.
3-2-2-3 is the best way
Raphinha as right interior (no.10)
Ansu/Memphis as inverted LW in left interior
We don't have suited LW in the touchlin
The touchline is for LB
How "coincidental"! I was just thinking that Raphinha can play along side Dembélé on the right - as a right attacking midfielder. And there would be a couple of different sets to implement that.
The frontline can be FERRAN/FATI/GAVI/PEDRI - LEWANDOWSKI - DEMBÉLÉ.
I'd like your opinion on that.
Keep up the awesome work ;)
Do you think that Raphinha can play the role of Federico Valverde?
Same thought here.. Raphinha as a Side midfielder along with dembele taking the width.. i see Raphinha like another Di Maria..
@@11amero Raphinha gained position from Antoni Manchester and Rodrigo Real Madrid, you need to be patient with him.
Here in Brazil until today no one knows how to achieve this.
Good points. Question how about play both and have dembele on the left.
Regarding atk full back good example Trent if you have a cover of kounde n and aroujo
Please analyze Ansu Fati’s development under Xavi
He's a right Wing Back. Just think Cafu or Dani Alves, Maicon or the legendary Carlos Alberto. They have the legs to cover the wings entirely. The only thing is you'll need 3 center backs to deploy 2 wing backs in a 3-5-2 formation.
I wonder if Messi's form in PSG affects his form in Argentina as well.
I think Barca should bring back Dest. The guy was doing just that and he had goals for the team too. He'll be a very good option if we're seriously in need of a RB
I think it’s a bit more simple than that
1. Play Raphina as a LW along with Balde and they can create a great partnership which will allow Raphina to drift inside more
2. When everyone is healthy (Araujo, Kounde) switch to a back 3 with Dr Jong playing as a CDM or double pivot as he did in Ajax since he’s also comfortable dropping in as a Pseudo CB.
Ideally the line up would look like this
_____________Ter Stegen
Alba/Roberto____Kounde___Araujo___Balde
____________De Jong_________
____Pedri_____________Gavi
Dembele ____Lewa____Raphina
Pretty sure we cant afford him but Hakimi would suit this system SO WELL!
Love the content btw! Keep em coming! :)
Pull the levers! Pull the levers!
There are two names I have for Barcelona's right back position: Vanderson ( Monaco) and very unusual one hidden under the radar, MAMBA SAMBA BALDÉ. They both have great potential, but the latter has a skill set(skill sets) that no other right back has, which makes him lethal. Feel free to find out :)
To make Raphinha come inside, we just need another man to occupy the wings, it maybe a fullback or a midfielder who can move there like bsilva...
Your Barça analysis has been nothing short of fabulous so far.
As an answer to your question, my plan on career mode (lolz) is to shift Vanderson into a RB and I think he is a good, young and reasonably priced option for us. Shame Dest didn't quite stick here and isn't impressing at Milan, either. Had high hopes for him.
Great content, keep it up!
Heard that vanderson costs 60m which is more though he’s a good player
Agree 100% about Dest. I still really like him and think he's a MUCH better option than Bellerin. Dest as a RWB potential is similar to Dembele; both are amazing athletes with great technical skills, but they lack in their decision making. Would love to see him get another chance
@@VibrantSpirit87 60 is a lot. Doubt they’d ask for that much in this market
@@liampucab9010 hopefully we get him less than 60 but Monaco are tough negotiators 🙂
I would like to see analysis of brighton and Napoli.
Thank you. Thank you very much for saying what I've saying all the time.
I had thought that Raphinah was going to flourish at Barcelona because he did more with little at Leeds United, little did I know that Xavi was going to play the kind of nonsense that he's playing trying too hard instead of letting players win your games.
What I've learnt about Spain is that they seem to be stubborn about what they know and that's why they have won the world cup only once despite the talent they had, whereas Brazil have done so many times back to back, its because teams in Spain are stubborn about what they know except for Real Madrid.
Real Madrdi flourishes because it doesn't use Spanish players and stubborness but it uses global player mentality, thus they always willing to adjust the system to the weapons they have.
Barcelona on the other hand is just a pre-extension of Spanish player mentality and until they change that, players should reconsider joining them because they're going to be limited.
Football is much broader than a Busquets fan mentality.
Raphinah must leave that team and go play at a team that is not stubborn and that understands that you don't cage weapons into a sustem but you rather use your weapons to their strength in it.
You can't go to a war having 9 millimeters and R5 riffles and you say the system only has to use 9 millimeters or s riffle must operate like a 9 millimeter because it's what yiur system is about!!!
Raphinah, De Jong, Kounde, Araujo must leave that team if they continuebeing caged out of position. I'm a fan but they piss me off by playing players out of positions just so they can fit their Spanish players or worst of all fit these excellent talents in a non-workable system and then blame them for not delivering.
The only non Spanish player playing in his position is Lewandowski, and that's only because there's no Spanish striker.
It's disgusting to say the least and as much as I love Xavi as a greatest midfielder of all time, I'm disappointed in his tactics and stubbornness Im sorry.
I feel something we should try at least once is okay both of them on the right side raphina as a rb/rwb It’s very attacking I know but we have to get the best of both of them so why not play them on the same side
hi can you please add some sources from where I can access positional play resources to better understand the philosophy .
I think the best option for Barca in January transfer window is to bring back dest from Milan if it's possible. Serginio's natural game is offensive and contemplating his technical ability i do believe he would complement raphinha pretty well in holding the line and allowing the Brazilian to tuck inside. Although dest is poor defensively, but so are bellerin and Roberto
This channel is just too good.
I wish Xavi watched this channel and bad Barca Opinions regularly.
Could you do a video on the DM and RB you think Barca should get ?
Frimpong maybe saelemakers, my money is on switching to a 343 and playing both Dembele as the RM and Rapinha as the inside forward
Man Pedro porro is the best profile for that right back position
Nice to go back to this with cancelo in at RB for now temp but hopefully they buy him!
Lamptey will be a great option as he can cross,overlaps and is great 1v1
Please make video on players we should buy on rb dmf or bernardo??
I think trippier is the best option to reinforce de right back position he is good at passing de ball Overlapping and crossing
Hei, i red your bio. Are you only gonna do barcelona analysis or you planning on doing other teams?
Who is here after that P$G game? Raphinha masterclass prob his best game yet even without the goals he is running like horse everywhere
I think he is more of a RM rather than a RW. Cuz he can give killer passes and he is very defensive but not that great at one in ones
Pls I would love a video on gallardo Marcelo
Our Wingers suffer a lot because they are only source of threat at flanks its always 2 v1 or Gavi runs help but not against back 5 we need Fullback who can take some responsibility and provide threat in the final third I can't think of one right now but surely Barca need to invest a lot of money on it not just look for cheap options
Dest would be great with Raphinha going forward but dest leaves a lot to be desired on defense
Raphina has been most productive while playing as an attacking midfielder, not as a winger. Him as an amf and dembele as a winger is what barca need.
Barca has already had way too many midfielders. If he's not productive as a winger than he should just stay on the bench until Dembele is tired.
When has he ever played as an AM? At Leeds he never did, although there was speculation Bielsa would use him as a 10. His passing is very good.
Simakan and Pedro Porro would be amazing options in my opinion
Diogo dalot as right back is on of the best options for barca
No Frimpong
Frimpong is good but dalot have more experience and he playes under eric ten hang wich means he have learnt alot about barca playing style
Reece James would be my replacement but I don’t think he will leave Chelsea
I think The Purist Football deserve to be at least in xavi coaching team. These videos are just so educational, thanks man you deserve the best
Glad you’re enjoying!
a good right back for barca could be Frimpong his contract end in june
I mentioned previously using Raphinha as right attacking midfielder ( as Pep converted B. Silva into midfielder ). I believe Raphinha as attacking midfielder in place of Gavi only can do this change with a very courageous and thinking out of box coach like Pep or Arteta but not Xavi unfortunately. Barcelona or Xavi likes one of his backs to attack and the other to defend, it seems Balde is destined to attack ( his forte ) so the RB has to defend more or function as extra midfielder next to DMF ( FDJ) I like Juan Foyth ( Villarreal) or Emerson Royal (ex Barca now at Tottenham) I know people will call me crazy to suggest Royal but he is very good in defending.
your thought is based on his passing in the halfspace, but to function as a midfielder (or more exactly, an interior), he needs more complex understanding of the position. Even Frenkie De Jong has to learn more to fulfil the role of an interior.
@@ucanhtran8681 what is your suggestion, this team and this coach can’t compete with the big teams in Europe and RM. FDJ if was given confidence and right instructions I believe he could have done better than Busquets, his right position not an interior.
@@shukrimd247 I think FDJ is learning to replace Busquets effectively. It is a process, so we should be patient.
@Purist , how about playing Raphinha as right interior in a 4-3-3 ,so he is close to Dembele on the right. This way both can cause havoc on their preferred right side . Or ?
I know dest needs to mature a lot, but would a perfil like his be a suitable for the role "Raphinha's wing man" ?
Raphinha at any club would be doing magical things but at Barca they are too slow and too passive...
I don't understand the problem with sergino dest, he is such an effective attacker on the right and he did prove himself whenever he was given a genuine chance
Please continue with Barca team videos mostly 💯
he should just try and be more central, his shooting is good and he should attempt more to score because outside of lewandowski we hardly score and he can help us there, he used to score and be a threat a lot more for leeds
ok, is this a barcelona chanell, coz if it is i would like to know so i can subscribe to other chanells that covers a variety of teams
I'm not going to act like I've watched him a lot, I've only watched a few comps, and Vanderson at least in the comps looks a wavey baller.
Arsenal and City and how are they able to defend well maybe City more... despite using a similar system to ours, quality aside, what do they do right in defense and attack compared to us? Im obsessed with Arsenal, also all players seem so selfless at Arsenal that they work well as a team.
jonathan clauss is a great overlaping right back
Pls keep doing Barca plsss
Width yes is very important but you have structured with like Barca or Roaming width like Man City. Roaming is the best as the opposition doesn't know when the wingers are wide or when they are inside.
Also Man City has got 2 good backs who can bounce up and down which helps them and Barca does not.
Xavi should know this, Raphinha is not a wide winger, if he wants someone to occupy the wide wing he could use wide RB to overlap not inverted RB. If we keep playing Raphinha wide ofc he will flop. Top-class managers know how to utilize their player attribute to make them flourish, not forcing them to play what he wants. I'm really tired of Dembele's inconsistency, In one or two games he performs like one of the best wingers but then the next game he becomes like a clueless winger with awful decision making
I reckon Pedro porro would best rb option for Barca, brilliant going forward and overlapping and solid defensively
His passes are insane
