A chaque journée , à chaque grand match , on se rend compte que le point le plus influent du football anglais n'est pas l'argent, mais le fait d'avoir réussi à transformer son championnat en une sorte de série HBO a voir tout au long de l'année, ce n'est pas les joueurs, ce n'est pas les entraîneurs, ce n'est pas l'éradication des ultras de chaque club anglais, ce n'est pas non plus les pelouses et les formes des stades, encore moins les gros investissements sur les tous les échelons, c'est tout ça en même temps, C'est le produit marketing en lui-même !

Jonathan Wilson evoque 5 points tactiques en Premier League :

* Le 3-5-2 utiliser par beaucoups en debut de saison voit sa disparition petit a petit a cause des espaces qu'il laisse en defence centrale mais surtout en plein milieu de terrain , vu que le jeu se base toujours sur les cotés.

* Le milieu de terrain a deux joueurs , comme celui que propose Manchester City et la zone dangeureuse qu'il laisse entre lui et ssa defense , la Roma a superbement bien profiter de cette breche entre les lignes , Pellegrini corrige ça seulement contre les grosses écuries

* L'ailier centrale qu'utilise superbement Sam Allardice a West Ham avec Stewart Downing et aussi Brendan rodgers avec Raheem Sterling a Liverpool , une véritable force dans une zone tres dangereuse surtout avec deux attaquand et dévie vers les cotés ouvrant tout un boulvard a ce nouveau poste "l'ailier centrale" souvent tres rapide et percuteur.

* L'incapacité du milieu de terrain d'Arsenal d'enclencher un pressing intense pour conter les attaques adverses , toujours géner par les blessures et l'incompatibilité des joueurs avec ce role.

* Le probleme que pose Fabregas a tout ses adversaires , le meilleur milieu de terrain du monde n'est jamais marqué vu qu'il se positione tres bien (ni en engauche ni en regista ) et de la il peut délivrer des caviars , et quand on le marque Oscar se trouve toujours dans des boulevards , chapeau Mourinho !

4 points importants dans le choc opposant Liverpool au Real Madrid :

* Le placement du milieu de terrain du real par rapport au jeu de contre de liverpool, nottament l'espace laissé entre la defense centrale et le duo kroos-modric

* Raheem Sterling , magnifique en championnat , quasi absent en champions league , on verra le jeune anglais esssayer d'exploiter les espaces entre la defense et le milieu espagnol

* Mario Balotelli dois prendre plus de confiance et mieu sse placer face a la machine madrilène , un but ce soir et tout sera relancer pour lui

* Le comportement de la defense anglaise face a la machine a but Cristiano Ronaldo , et nottament le jeune Manquillo au marquage , mais nottament l'aide de jordan henderson au milieu quand le portugais repique dans l'axe

* LIONEL MESSI AND IVAN RAKITIC LEADING BARCELONA REVOLUTION UNDER LUIS ENRIQUE *

Four games in, 12 points in the bank and not so much as a single goal conceded, things are looking pretty rosy at the Camp Nou at the moment.

But ignoring for a moment the most important thing, which is the result, a quick look at the performances gives us many clues as to just where this Barcelona side is going.

Against Barcelona, Levante attempted to do what most teams will try to do against them—at least until the return to action of Luis Suarez—which is defend near the box, and inside, and utilise fast players up front keen to use the spaces obligingly left by a Barcelona team playing a very high line.

Without someone like Suarez in the middle, there is little effort wasted in trying to defend the wings because the premise is that crosses from that part of the pitch will fall to no one in particular and can be dealt with easily.

But where Barcelona really come into their own is with super-quick transition from defence to attack, pressure high up the pitch so when they do recover the ball they find themselves facing a disorganised defence and finally lightning-fast movement of, and off, the ball.

The key to everything is that Barcelona should have an organised attack, which basically means everyone should know exactly what their jobs are at all times.

For the moment Luis Enrique is working primarily on quick transition from defence to attack and also on the rotation of the team. With just four league games and one Champions League match played, all but four of his squad have figured at some time or another.

Lionel Messi, of course, has been a permanent fixture and, just as was promised to him before the World Cup, everything focuses and radiates around him. He plays wherever he likes and is clearly enjoying himself.

I have always said Messi’s real strength comes from those short, sharp bursts of acceleration that leave opponents trailing in his wake. Make him run from deeper and longer distances, and not only do you dilute his powers, you always leave him heavy-legged and unable to recover so quickly so he can resume doing what he does best, namely tormenting defences.

Of the first 12 goals in all competitions, Messi has been involved in nine (three goals, six assists) and all three of Neymar’s goals have come via assists from the Argentina international.

Speaking of which, another important factor in this Barcelona team is the continual building of the Messi/Neymar partnership, which is getting better and better.

ANALYSE :

*WHY THE TRANSFORMATION OF TONY KROOS IS CAUSING IKER CASILLAS BOOS *

Iker Casillas has been on the receiving end of Real Madrid fans’ wrath of late. This is a player that grew up in Madrid and spent his whole life in service of the club.

He is the best goalie to ever represent Real Madrid and was key to many of the club’s trophies. So why are these ‘fans’ booing their own captain?

The departure of two key players has not gone down well with the fans. This, along with Madrid losing 3 out of the last 5 games has caused a feeling of frustration within fans. The fan’s frustration, however, has been unfairly targeted on Casillas.

While he shares some of the blame for goals conceded, Casillas is not entirely to blame. As Ancelotti noted: “When a goal is conceded in the near post, the goalie is the last person responsible.”

The team’s problems of late and Casillas being a scapegoat for it, has much more to do with trying to replace the void left by Xabi Alonso.

Toni Kroos does not provide the defensive contribution that Alonso provided. Per last season’s statistics, Kroos’s provided 16 interceptions and 6 clearances (comparable to both James and DiMaria-0.7 interceptions and 0.2 clearances per game). Xabi Alonso provided 40 interceptions and 34 clearances- more interceptions than both new players combined (1.5 interception per game).

Last year, Alonso’s position in the last line of defence was key to the team’s stability. He often filled the space between Pepe and Ramos, while also covering the gap between defence and midfield.

Xabi’s positioning provided support for the backline and doubled the defence’s effectiveness.

When Alonso was injured at the beginning of the season Madrid’s defence suffered, conceding 1.5 goals a game. When Xabi returned, Real went on a 29 run of unbeaten games, conceding 0.7 goals per game (conceding ONLY 5 goals from November to February).

This season again, the team is simply missing Xabi’s defensive contribution. For this reason, Casillas does not deserve the boos at the Bernabeu.

It is not Kroos’ fault that Madrid are conceding, currently he is simply not as defensive minded as the player he replaced. Fans should believe in Ancelotti and believe in Toni Kroos. But as Real Madrid fans have become accustomed to hearing: “We need to wait for him to adapt to a new team.”

For the time being it seems that Casillas is paying the price for Kroos’s transformation into Xabi Alonso.
