The Tactical Shift That Redefined Spanish Soccer

November 13, 2025 ¡ 5 min read

If you followed LaLiga in the early 2010s, you’d recognize a pattern: nearly every team lined up in the classic 4-2-3-1. Double pivots in midfield, a creative “10” pulling the strings, and wingers tucking inside. But something dramatic happened between 2012 and 2021. Coaches started abandoning the 4-2-3-1 for the more compact and balanced 4-4-2. […]

When Controlling Space Wins Matches

Every coach knows the feeling: your team’s formation looks solid, but somehow the opponent always finds room to play between the lines. They seem to “breathe” the game differently—shifting, anticipating, creating passing lanes where none should exist. What’s happening isn’t luck. It’s geometry. A groundbreaking study from researchers at Leuphana University of LĂźneburg, Space and […]

The interplay between pitch control and top speed in soccer considering the stamina factor.

da Silva MF; Novillo Á; Aleta A; López Del Campo R; Resta R; Moreno Y; Buldú JM

This study looks at how players' speed and ball control work together in soccer. The researchers created a new way to measure how likely a player is to get the ball on the field and found that faster players usually control more of the field.
