Brentford kick-off routines
Brentford have used two main routines from kick off, depending on the opponent's pressing style.
The first routine which they scored against Tottenham and Man City who used zonal pressing when defending kick-offs.

One teams that has become synonymous with exploiting marginal gains is Brentford.
Not only do they surprise us with their innovative free kicks and corners.
But they also catch opponents off guard right from kickoffs.

While Ibrahim Díaz has that physical/technical ceiling that will limit him in terms of his number production.
plus the fact that he's irregular in his stretches of games (and seasons), he's a player who is quite a bit more usable than he is currently.

A pure and hardcore dribbler of low lower train, ambidextrous and with a brutal first step that allows him to open up worlds in his path, that's his calling card.

In Brazil, something serious must have happened in the youth divisions.
It's no coincidence that now they lack attacking midfielders or full-backs and that their top-level forwards are mostly wingers.
It's likely related to the modern addiction to width with wingers.

One downside of tournaments where the best third-place teams advance is the fact that draws are worth a lot, and that's why matches can fizzle out in the second halves because the teams don't take risks.

As for playing style, this current Morocco reminds me of the Croatia of 2018-22.

I hope the African reps yet to kick a ball in the WC, have got the hints from the opening game (Mexico vs South Africa)

It’s a knowledge and distribution problem, (not too many people are able to see/read specialized and localized content)
Big sites dominates but they miss the mark sometimes, I too read football analyses on big sites about African football, that makes me wonder if that’s what
And tbh this is exactly why I put South Korea to finish bottom in group predictions; because i’ve had no time to research and trusted a bbc sport article which gave a massive negative tone to everything around them.
I’ve watched 10 mins of them with my eyes and Ik I fucked up

Tactical nuance: You get "they lacked composure". You don't get "their 6 couldn't turn under pressure because he's been playing CB all season at club level".

The first goal South Africa conceded against Mexico reminds me so well, Mamelodi sundowns conceded similar goal against Dortmund during the Club World Cup.

What’s gone wrong here in this South African match against Mexico is that only playing three central midfielders when you have a second striker.
Exponentially, you do not have anyone running both advance inside channels.

It's not just "we're missing one runner." It's that without that runner, the winger can't underlap, the fullback can't overlap with purpose, and the 3rd CM can't play a vertical pass. One missing movement kills 3 other options.
That's why it feels static.

Playing a 3-man midfield with a 2nd striker usually means you want that second striker to bend his run into the half-spaces between Mexico's CB and FB.
The channels. But if he's sitting on the shoulder of the last defender waiting for a through ball, those channels stay dead.
