On this episode of the 3four3 podcast, Joey and I discuss some of the misconceptions of possession-soccer.
It’s pretty common to see members of the media, or people on twitter, attempting to discredit possession-based soccer.
One example of this is how Pep Guardiola and Manchester City are talked about in the media when they do anything other than completely dominate their opponent.
As Joey points out in this episode, most people fail to realize that the level of Premier League has been raised in recent years, which could be a direct result of Pep and his possession-based soccer.
We also discuss how players at virtually every level, including young kids and even the USMNT, can play this way, but the coach is responsible for making this happen.
Yes, the coach is critical.

Great interview – During the discussion Brian touched on the need to start using rondo’s that were directional or “went to goal” to help the forwards with finishing. Any chance we could get additional information on what those rondo’s looked like?
