When you talk about technical players why would you put Ronaldinho ahead of Pirlo? Not to talk of Xavi and Iniesta? Dude, I am going to drop this but just know that saying Ronaldinho is more technical than even Busquets means you do not understand the term at all.


Ronaldinho is way ahead. smiley

Now you are being cunning. Why didn't you ask between Ronaldinho and Busquets? After saying Busquets is more technical earlier.

I think is best to expantiate the terms and easily define what we are trying to point out.

I class them as technical and tactical players. All players have these in grades. Some are more technical than the other. While some are more tactical.

Technique is individual ability on the ball, while tactics has to do a more understanding of the game in what I term a coaches angle.

Ronaldinho reings King on the technical aspect, while Xavi reigns King on the tactical aspect. I see Xavi as the next Guardiola.

So to answer the question, Ronaldinho is more technical.


The bolded part is GOLDEN.

I will love them to invite an African team as you have said ,it will be so interesting

Yes the top 5 African team will do better than Qatar

they usually invite North American teams but due to their concacaf gold cup going on at the same time maybe they decided to invite Asian teams

I think it is just a misconception. Technique is what we refer as skills while tactical play relies more in a broaden understanding of the team play.

It is a fact that tactical players are taking over but I think it has been a norm but underrated. From Oliseh, Effenberg, Ballack, Pirlo, Scholes, Xabi Alonso, Lampard, Gerard, Roy Keane, Cambiasso, Vieira and a host of others were equally as important as the technical guys like Recoba, Overmars, Ronald De Boer, Okocha etc.

However, in the modern game, there is more emphasis on tactical play and the need for more tactical coherency. For instance, we see Zinchenko who is more tactical than technical playing as a full back. Thus, increasing the need for tactical precision.

City still relies on technical forwards like Aguero, Gabby Jesus, Sterling, Sane and Mahrez to break down defences. But, they are trained to be more tactical than technical to promote unison in tactical displays of the players to improve the team's tactical performance.

There's hardly anything like a tactical player. Tactical aspect of the game has to do with the TEAM PLAY, How the team uses the space of the pitch together in a coordinated manner, What shape the team takes when in possession and when not in possession. How the coach can harness the abilities of the individual players. The Playing Style of the team - Long Balls, Possession Play, Counter Attack etc.


How then TheGoodJoe can a single player be 'tactical'?

WOMEN'S WORLD CUP

Germany coach Voss-Tecklenburg: Nigeria have pace and good mentality


Samuel Ahmadu

Correspondent



Having led her side to the knockout round, the 51-year-old coach is eyeing maximum points against the Africans.


The German women's coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg says she is expecting a tough battle against Nigeria in the Round of 16 in Grenoble on Saturday.
Die Nationalelf won all their group stage matches, which were against Spain, China and South Africa to finish top of Group B.


On the other hand, the Super Falcons reached the Last 16 round with just one group stage win and two defeats.

Saturday's match will be the fifth between the two nations and the third at the Women's World Cup, with the Germans claiming victories in all of their last four meetings.


Despite being wary of the Africans, the 51-year-old coach is aiming to guide her side to another triumph over Thomas Dennerby's side.

"We know that Nigeria is a strong team, which they have proven in the group stage," Martina Voss-Tecklenburg told media.


"They have had a difficult start into the tournament, losing 3-0 against Norway, but have shown what they are capable of, especially in the last game against France where they were maybe a little bit unlucky to lose 1-0


"We know we are up against a tough opponent. It's always difficult to play African sides, they have good mentality, lots of pace and lots of physical presence in their team.

"We want to make the next step and are looking forward to an exciting Round of 16 match, which of course we want to win."


Having finished fourth four years ago in Canada, two-time winners Germany will hope for a third World Cup title.

Basic techniques in Football

Playing football is a fun thing and it also nourishes our body. Many people who make football as a hobby, and there is also a make as a profession. To be able to play soccer well, you have to master basic technique in soccer. When cuman rely on speed is not enough. So what are the techniques in football?

Dribble

Dribbling in soccer is the main thing. Because dribbling is one of the basic techniques in football. The foot used in dribbling equals the foot used to kick the ball. The dribbling aims to approach the distance of the targets, passing through the opponent and blocking the game. Spilling fundamentally is isolated into two: shut spilling and speed spilling. Shut spilling is finished with full control over the ball, done when the ball is not by any stretch of the imagination safe from our adversary.

In shut spilling, the ball can not be more than 1 meter before our feet. The speed spilling just has one course: speed.

At speed spilling, we spill with a keep running as quick as could reasonably be expected. Should be possible by kicking the ball forward then we seek after as hard as could reasonably be expected. Be that as it may, the requirements, we are totally free from the adversary's request

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by chrisooblog: 2:56pm On Jun 21, 2019
tactical ability has to do with your spatial awareness, your judgment (i.e knowing when to press or drop back), positioning, movement. how do you think the best strikers score so many goals? it's because they have mastered the tactical aspects of the game knowing when to make runs to evade opposition defenders. knowing that even though he has the technical ability to dribble his opponent a simple pass to a free team mate is more efficient and devastating

Attributes like positioning is and judgement are things some players are just better at. Does that make them "tactical" players?
However, even those attributes are developed further in training "UNDER A COACH".

Look at Mikel and Okocha. Two brilliant tens. Look at their style of play. You will see Okocha is more reliant on his individual skills to break defences and midfields, while Mikel is aware of the positioning of almost every player on the pitch. Mikel knows when the wing back is overlapping, when the defensive midfielder is off position. When a striker is making a dashing run to space.

Mikel is more tactical than a technical player because he relies on the team's tactical play to excel. Not that Mikel is not technical on the ball. He is also brilliant but that is not where his game lies.

Same with Okocha. Okocha is also tactical but more technical.

So as I said, we have both in various degrees in each player but if a player like Ronaldinho, Okocha, Dhorasoo, Recoba, Denilson, Neymar, Hazard rely more on their techniques than tactics, we class them Technical players.

Players like Scholes, Keane, Pirlo, Gerard, Xavi, Oliseh and Xabi Alonso that rely more on their tactical efficiency, we class them as tactical players.

Not at all. A coach can shout tactics for all he wants. At the end, you need players to understand the tactics. When it comes to understanding tactics, some understand it more than others. Those that understand it than others are key to the coach's tactics being carried out on the field.

Having the ability to give a brilliant through pass is technique. Having the ability to read the game to know when to give a brilliant through pass is tactical.

That is why I said it is in degrees in all players. Ronaldinho can give brilliant through passes but does not rely on that. He is more focused in mesmerising runs and tricks to create play.

Xavi is more focused in the teams adaptation to tactics.
