Bournemouth under Iraola: Why have the Cherries been so good this season?
The Basque talked about the impact of former coach Marcelo Bielsa in an interview with “Sky Sports” in 2023.
He said: “I have performed a lot of exercises from Marcelo, and I learned a lot of exercises from him (in Atletico Bilbao).”
“I use a lot of things, especially in the ball. He is willing to run everything to the space. He is going to accept this disease on the offensive end.”
The key points here are confusion. Managers such as PEP Guardiola, Mikel Arteta and Arne Slot are to minimize the risk and avoid chaotic gaming status, but Irala’s Burnsmus embraces them and is better for this.
The former Rayo Vallecano boss deployed a system designed to apply ZONAL tags and people oppressed people. Today, analysts call it “hybrid pressure”. Although Bernemouth does not use this method alone, they must be much more efficient than most teams perform it.
In order to win the ball as much as possible, Bernemouth’s hybrid media are usually the most obvious when opposing the goal goal.
