The magazine series by Kohei Yuuki, author of “All About Positional Play” and who has reported on the evolution of academic European football using his unique network on SNS and his skill in reading English literature, has been renewed as a monthly online series. Focusing on the “tactical revolution” that awaits in a borderless world where cutting-edge theories are shared regardless of nationality or pro-am, we propose a new way to enjoy the complexities of modern football.
In the 24th match, Brentford are in good form under new manager Keith Andrews, a former set-piece coach. In addition to ingenuity in set pieces, the team’s “seamless counter” centered on the top two, Igor Thiago and Schade, is proving effective. I would like to analyze the tactics of the dark horse that dominates the Premier League.
The end of the Thomas Frank era and the surprising appointment of a new manager
Brian Mbeumo, who threatens the goal with his off-the-ball movement and speed, is appointed as the ace, while up front, Yoanu Wissa moves around in wide positions like a satellite and gets involved in the game. Brentford, trained by manager Thomas Frank, have achieved results with a style of football that relies on their forward mobility. Ranked 10th in the 24-25 season. What has allowed Brentford to maintain a mid-ranked position amidst the fierce competition in the Premier League is the collective strength of Brentford, which has excellent members behind the scenes, including front office, coaches, and scouts.
Many teams have made major reinforcements this season. Promoted teams Sunderland and Leeds are unafraid of the “premier wall” that they have struggled with in recent years, surprising many experts. Meanwhile, ace Mbeumo moved to Manchester United, while Wissa moved to Newcastle. Christian Noahgaard, who was a mainstay in midfield, was taken to Arsenal, while Mark Frekken was taken to Leverkusen. And the biggest concern is that Thomas Frank, who led the team for a long time as manager, will also be leaving for Tottenham. The team entered the 25-26 season with no clear future in sight.
Keith Andrews, who was appointed manager this season, was promoted from set-piece coach and his lack of experience was thought to be a risk. However, Brentford have defied those expectations. They have achieved particularly noteworthy results at home, and as of the end of Round 22, they were in 7th place, keeping them in a position to aim for a higher ranking than last season. This time, we would like to delve into the mystery of how they are creating a sensation in the Premier League.
The latest work discovered by a club that specializes in discovering forwards
The arrival of Igor Thiago, who had been struggling with injury, has revolutionized Brentford’s football. This CF, who is known not only for his high physical ability but also for his experience in futsal, has a solid physique and soft technique. The striker, who Brentford paid a fortune for, supports the team with his decisiveness in front of goal.
