[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Building out from the back under high pressure is incorrect.[/quote]

?  Building out is all about high pressure.  If there is no press, it isn't really "building out" to move the ball to midfield uncontested while the defense remains balanced.

I think you mean going over the top occasionally to mix things up or to beat a sell-out press is also a good thing.

It’s about breaking lines of defensive pressure and scoring. Trying to muscle through a high press with possession style emphasis is a recipe for exhaustion, more potential for poor touches and lost possession, and just not smart soccer. The best ball may be over the top, or a solo dribble. Alexandria tries to teach rote pattern memorization. It creates a predictable style of soccer that doesn’t provide for players to develop creativity. It will work sometimes, but clubs who have focussed on developing a player’s soccer IQ will easily dispatch these teams.[/quote]

There is definitely structure.  It is pointless to try to develop players within the framework without it.  But a lot of the players also play futsal and have a lot more creativity within this framework than we see from other players.  More 3 v 2 creativity than 1 v 1.  All I've seen from other top clubs are a bunch of dogs chasing a frisbee.  It is garbage, with a few exceptions, on the boys side.[/quote]
