Real Sociedad are doing pretty well in La Liga this year. They’re currently 3rd in the table, and I’ve really enjoyed watching them. That’s partly because of their unique tactical setup, which uses a pure number 10, something we don’t see too often anymore.
So in this video I give an overview of the tactics deployed by coach Imanol Alguacil, and how La Real use one of the best number 10s in the game, David Silva, to make the system work. Enjoy!
I’d like to do more of this style of video, so let me know what other teams/players I should cover!

I miss pure no 10's. The man who brought the magic and the creativity. The talisman.
Does messi belong to the pure no 10
@@hrishikeshbhat1237 I would say so yes
@@jonathana6943 Barca have Pedri now. Also a 10 imo
@@MinhNguyen-vl6ul True. Pedri is like number 6,8 and 10 all rolled into one
The number 10 was replaced by more versatile midfielders. They usually don't press and leave you handicapped when defending. Teams prefer more balance nowadays.
Trying out a new style of video, focusing on a specific element of a team’s tactics. Let me know what you think, and what other teams/players you’d like to see covered :)
This was good, you did a good job.
Bodo/glimt
Thiago alcantra's career plz
Napoli/ RB Salzburg please
Real Betis and specifically Sergio Canales
I love the playstyle of david silva, he was always such a worldclass player
Of all the amazing players that left Valencia as the ship was sinking, he's the one I missed the most as a Valencia fan. More than Aimar, Villa, Vicente, Joaquín or Mata. What a team that could have been if the club could have held on to these world class players.
It’s good to see you are analyzing such teams which have not spotlight on them in media but still have something special and interesting. I enjoy your analysis and presentation.
Thanks! I hope to do a bit more of this going forward
@@thepurist_ May I ask, what software or app are you using for your animations???
David Silva, age 34, was by far the most consistent player in the 2019/20 Man City squad even though it was his final year. That says it all.
david silva the most underrated player of this generation, absolute legend
Hi there, Real Sociedad supporter here. Great analysis indeed, we have switched to a "standard" 4-3-3 now that Mikel Oyarzabal is available and Silva had an injury for some more than a month. But you have given me insight on my own team, thanks for that. You gained a subscriber here.
Gora erreala beti erreala!!!
Great video as always! An analysis of Napoli and their dominant run would be great to see, particularly on the partnership of Kvaratskhelia and Oshimen
Thanks! A Napoli analysis is definitely on the cards
@@thepurist_ Can you include a bit about the team mentality under Spaletti?
Yes, more tactical videos of other teams and players please
🫡
@@thepurist_ Nooooo only Barça please. We want you all to ourselves :P
Just kidding, I'm interested in everything you have to say. Your synthesis of ideas is second-to-none.
To add to this analysis, the 4-4-2 diamond system tends to provide width in the form of a fullback going all the way and one of the two CF(usually the fastest) going wide the other. In fact, many Argentinian teams from back in the late 90's and 2000's had some variation of this. One of the forward was a classic 9(tall, strong, good heading) and the other was fast and mobile creating width on both sides, while on of the fullbacks attacked the space. Argentina even used this system back in the World Cup 2006(Riquelme the 10, Tevez/Saviola/Messi the fast forward, Crespo/Cruz the number 9 and Sorin the fullback) and Copa America 2007 and, poorly executed, in South Africa 2010. I wonder how Real does it though.
Great video! love to see David Silva still shining on.
Kubo has been filling in that role pretty well too when Silva's not playing.
David Silva 🔥 the most underrated Footballer.
Great video! Unlike other channels your tactics analysis is actually interesting!
Excellent video, really great work, it made me want to see Real Sociedad's games, thank you and bravo !
love your videos! the tactical breakdown of various systems keeps me going >>>
would also love to see a break down of LFC vs real in the UCL, deal’s compute and reliance on system, rather then aggression/tempo was crazy
David Silva is one of the most underrated players ever in football history.
Such a great video thanks for bringing their play style to my attention
I think a cool video which could also increase the watch time; looking at the most important creator(s) from the top sides in the UCL or across the top five leagues (or even PL) to start with and how not only the formations and tactics work, but their individual actions and skillsets that allow them to excel;
eg - Mentioning David’s particular skillset in pass weight and angle and how that works with the team and utilizing the space there even without the traditional width of wingers
When you have David silva in your team, you play him where he's at his best. There hasn't been another player like him while he's been around.
great analysis,would like to see more of these if possible
This is truly amazing beautiful video
"How Real Sociedad brought back the Number 10"
Step 1: David Silva
Step 2: Profit
My favourite ever player. Wish he were still at City.
Hey, great Video. I don‘t know if you‘ve noticed this too but more and more teams are switching to 3/5 at the back (e.g. Bayern, Psg and litteraly the whole Serie A). Could you maybe explain what the up- and downsides of 3/5 at the back are and why these teams are switching? I think that would be a very interesting Video.
Do a TH-cam search: "343 and 352 formations explained " theres some great content out there about it.
Im my summed up opinion these 5 at the back systems are defensive / counter attack focused, with quick transitiom from defemce to attack and are made to stectch the pitch as wide as possible. Using the wingnacks as the main source of creativity to drive up the pitch and support the front 3. While the midfield double pivot and 3 cemtre backs stay behind to cover. And keep the ball movog when in position
They priorize keeping a solid defensive shape in their own half, conceading possesion in order to capatalize on coimter attacks.
However 343/352 systems can sometimes also be very effective when playing with more possetion / more attacking dominance. Depending on the players
3 at the back has actually been a common formation in Serie A for years now. The Serie A is more of a tactical league.
The game has changed drastically and Some Managers often prefer balance in the game than relying on one player to do the chance creation. It affected so many baller’s like Dybala, Ozil, Rodriguez and Coutinho. Players like Bernardo Silva, Kevin De bruyne, Bruno Fernandes adapted to the game and can play the classic no 10 role, which requires more intensity and team effort than personal play.
i love all of your videos, but i would love more real madrid videos, i learn from your videos everyday.
Could you do more videos talking about old but great players. Noticed a good amount of older players who're still essential to their teams
E.g. Modric and who you see as their potential successors
gundogan
Hey man hope you're doing good. Would love a team tactic review kind of series with la liga teams only, what do you think about that ?
love David Silva, so underrated and humble
Nice video ! We miss that 10s! BTW you mentioned Bergkamp which was not a classic number 10 but a second striker actually and Ozil but forget young Ronaldinho Gaucho, Zidane, Alex, Djalminha, RIQUELME,Aimar, Ortega, Gallardo...
The 442 diamond was also used by Lucien Favre with the 2015 OGCNice team if you’re interested to see another type of diamond !
I frigging love playing this role
You should take a look at what Gotze did at PSV under Roger Schmidt, for me it was a great example of the true n10 too
As always, amazing content. My team plays in a 442 diamond so this video serves as Game Model inspiration.
Where do you get the data from? Those tables show really advanced metrics. I see the 'defensive line height', probably from markrstats?
Would love to see a video on thiago alcantara he has such an interesting play style
Hey man, wild card but maybe a new video idea could be about why some teams like PSG, who poses some of the greatest attaching talent on the planet, are struggling for form. maybe highlights patterns they are doing which is detrimental to their attack? i feel like looking at football that way shouldn’t be done but its another perspective to consider.
Fast forward to October and it's back to 433 for Sociedad with Real Betis playing the number 10 with Real Betis.
I for one have been in awe of this style for years, I find it's common with Spanish teams expressed with variations of the 442.
However if I were to utilize it I'd do it with a different formation that favors width, at least barely, 4321 maybe. I'm also glad you highlighted Sociedad I feel they've been a great team amongst other teams like Betis(my club) & Rayo Vallecano.
Teams I'd like you to touch on are Betis, Freiburg, Union, Vallecano and a coach I'd like you to do video on would be Jose Bardolas what PL team would suit him, I for one though will recommend him for Atleti once Simeone departs.
All great suggestions!
@@thepurist_ Glad u like em.
Can you do a video about Roger Schmidts revolution in Benfica?
I consider myself one of the pure 10s but my home team is strong, they always win games their way, which is being faster, they hit long balls and we chase and go score, I don't blame them... everyone wants to be the hero in a team. They have no use for a 10 whatsoever
Beautiful! Do you see if Messi returns he will be playing as a number 10? I personally see him fitting that role.
Messi has always played as a 10 for Barca what are you on about ?
@@danielross4242 I meant as a 10 in the 4-4-2 Diamond - as explained in the video. Not as a false 9, or false RW who does the 10 role in some phases of the game.
I don't see it now as Xavi is bringing back the classic Barca style of having two wingers on the side. In 2018/19 season Messi sort of played as a number 10 although not in the 4-4-2 diamond, and he almost took Barca to the treble had his defenders not been horrible that season. He is far more offensive and threatening as a goalscorer than Silva which is why Xavi may want him further up ahead though. In a way Messi's ridiculous goalscoring ability sort of prevented coaches from using him in this role as it seems a bit wasteful not to take advantage of his scoring prowess.
Also I don't see Xavi using a 4-3-1-2(or 4-4-2 diamond) as Barca players don't seem to fit the mold for that role. One element that seems missing in this analysis is that usually this system, largely used in South America for a long time, is that it usually has fullbacks attacking the space and providing width that way. Usually one of the fullbacks attacks one side while one of the center forwards gets wide on the other side, especially if the number 9 has great heading capabilities.
man I love David silva
where are the stats from??
makes sense why they do possession games for such an extended period of time at the beginning of training sessions.
Please explain in any video why Barca are unable to attack against teams who defend with all 11 players in front of their goal (like Barca vs Almeria last Sunday or Spain vs Japan in 2022).
Arsenal analysis would be great. How Arteta evolved total football./
City with Erling Haaland compared to last year with no number 9
Dude I am waiting for your video about Man Utd 2- 1 Barca game. United fan here. Just wanna see who you saw the match.
Can this system cope if opponent goes for a ball oriented pressing ? The system looks nice on paper, but it might have disadvantages
If you have the right players it works
Union Berlin analysis would be great
as we dutch like to say: dennis bergkamp. dennis bergkamp, DENNIS BERGKAMP. DENNIS BERGKAMP OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. been doing that scince 98. not gonna quit any time soon
Silva beasted at Valencia then the epl with City, so of course coming from the physical english premier back to la liga is easy for him! Legend =)
I kinda get this to a degree. But there is still plenty of players today with that same classic 10 skill set.
They just evolved into more well rounded players, with athletisism and work rate, to suit the more demanding modern game. Even the greatest 10's sometimes have dips in form.
And if they arent creating at a high rate, they immediately become a huge burden on the team. The same is happening with the classic penalty box poacher, who lacks mobility. No room for pasengers in the game anymore
I knew you wouldn't make a video of United Barca second leg..
still miss him at ct
Nice video, but doesn't every team playing 4 3 2 1 still have a nr 10?
can you talk about what happened between barcelona and man united and why we lost
can you do the 4222
dont know much about football. seeing that barca have someone as technically talented and intelligent as pedri, would this system work with the players they have now, or what would need to happen in order for this to work for barca? geniunely interested
It would be too direct a system for a top team. Top teams control the tempo to their liking, having two strikers risks losing all sense of control and defensive instability, thought it can be done.
Number 10s are still a thing. Brighton are doing it in the Premier League of all leagues
where is the video for the 4 a 0 real madrid vs barcelona????????
Bro If U wanna see real no.10 U have to see Mohamed magdy Afsha he is playing in Ahly SC in Egypt
Messi and De Bruyne can also play this role.
@posebno nista they don’t need it since pedri is at the club.
take a look at Flamengo's Arrascaeta
Can you please make a video on Liverpool's Stefan Bajčetić? I'm a Barca fan and this guy gives me Pedri vibes. I hope Barca finds a way to snatch him, cos can't help but dream of having two Pedris in our midfield. And I can't wait to see him play alongside Gavi and Pedri when he gets a Spanish call-up.
It does help when you have a magician to play there. He could open a can of soup with that left foot.
Also real Betis plays with a pure 10 in a 4-2-3-1 system. Fekir is magic in the role
now David Silva has retired😢
that’s the position that needs to be used with coutinho 😭
Leicester City's James Maddison is also a good example of a classic CAM / Number 10. His stats for chance creation is insane, he scores, he assists and is almost always have a direct involment im thier goals. And Leicester look toothles without him.
Maddison would shine and produce insane stats in a bigger club who have prolific strikers and wimgers.
He should be worh at most 50mil. But bloody "English tax" puts him at 75mil.
I guess the scarecity of CAMS contributes to their inflated price too.
Hence why teams are more focused on buying creative wingers instead. There are far more creative wingers than CAMs, so they tend to be cheaper.
Let’s hope they win the league so the coaches can rethink there generic strategies
most young prospects are not technical enough to play 10 that's why the position is "unviable" in modern football, reality is that there are no more number 10s among the youngsters so managers can't create teams around that position
That’s not true, there is a reason why you saw existing 10s like James, Ozil, Isco phased out and players like KDB needing to take more defensive responsibility. Managers want to defend as a team more and more so that roaming player with little defensive responsibility becomes less and less viable. Saw it at Madrid with James, great first year for us but there was that realisation that we’re not stable enough with a midfield of Kroos, Modric and James and Zidane took a chance on some kid who just came back from a loan at Porto.
It's nonsense that players are 'not technical enough'. We didn't just abandon all of our training and coaching methods overnight. Kids didn't stop playing in the streets all of a sudden.
@@juuglord8509 they actually stopped playing on the streets
@@rng8119 That depends on where you're from. Plenty of the players you watch right now in their 20's grew up playing on the streets or in cages/small pitches. The ones that say players aren't technical enough are high off nostalgia for an age where a player was given all the time in the world to do what they desired.
@@juuglord8509 cages? let me guess, you are german, have you been on the streets lately? kids no longer play on the streets and if there are some they are 2 or 5 most kids stay at home playing fortnite
The real isagi
a lot of similarities between Silva at Real Sociedad and Ganso at Fluminense even though they play in different systems
Argentina won the last world cup with a clear number 10
mourinho's inter milan formation.
I think thatLeipzig plays Kind if similarly
Actually 4-2-2 diamond is an extreme narrowed version of 4-3-3
Yes, and the 10 is the false 9.
I had no idea David Silva was half Japanese.
I don't think he is. It's said his mother is of Japanese decent.
He looks kinda japanese tbh
David's grand-father is japanese.
So he is quater japanese.
This is a info by his father, so quite sure.
No. His sister said also they don't have japanese blood.
Man but AC Milan passed like 3 consecutive years playing with the real number 10 and won also the league last year...
Stéphane Sessègnon is the greatest no 10 of all time
True
Do you see Messi returning to Barca as a classic 10?
No
Unfortunate that Silva is injured
Ozil killed the 10 position
he is a barca player made up in la masia and the UEFA decided he musst leave the club
they never did that to any other club even if the did the same as barca did but only barca was force to let his talents go at that time
Oyarzabar is out.
David Silva got a Number 10.
4-4-2 is 100% destroyed by 433. It overpowers the midfield and defense. It will never come back. But 4-5-1 completely Nullifies it. Its only fun when BOTH teams play 442. And its the best for viewers.
Lol I mean yea if you're No. 10 is David freaking Silva, then ofc you can play with a pure 10
ahh yes simplicity
Overload ballside is a tactic that fatigues players. you cant do it all game. ask me how i know.... fifa.
lol 😂 of course its easy to "bring back the no 10 when you have david silva
