Roberto De Zerbi has been described as one of the most influential managers of the last 20 years, by none other than Pep Guardiola.
He has been commended for his coaching in the lower leagues of Italian football, Ukraine, and now in the Premier League with Brighton & Hove Albion. But considering his only major trophy win came in Ukraine for Shakhtar Donetsk, should he really be regarded as one of the best?

Brighton's recruitment, player development and play-style has been top-tier. Hopefully, we get to see more good football from them.

I agree. But! It’s because they can do that! What I mean is that their “lack of ambition” ie that they don’t want to be top team (yet!) they look to buy players like Caceado and then flog him. Lots of teams are after the same players as Brighton it’s just Brighton can offer them regular footie on a massive ‘shop window’ trip.

"The king of the managers! *Raahr* " God I love this channel
As a Leeds fan, he reminds me a lot of Bielsa (understandably given he trained with him), which honestly is some of the highest praise a Leeds fan can give xD But his tactics are a little different, and that idea of essentially using transitional / counter attacking tactics without having to lose the ball has clearly been really effective.
8:35 They also bait the press by playing intentionally square passes. Square pass is a pressing trigger for a lot of teams, at which point it invites them to break a line and play through. They quite often ‘hide’ a pivot player behind that press so that after the line is broken they can set the ball to the pivot player and they’ve played through the press. It’s brilliant

You explained that amazingly, pictured it in my head. It's exactly what they do
Lots of people have trouble understanding what different aspects of management are, some are coaches, some great tacticians and some great at man management. At the highest level, you need everything. But a coach is what De Zerbi is which is what Brighton need as well.
JJ's like a goofy telemarketer in his videos, I love it
Please please please continue the "What does [blank] person actually do?" As a series. I found the one on Carlo Ancelotte entertaining and informative.

I dont think he’ll live up to the messi/villa expectation. But i see more of a Jack Grealish x2. If he can learn to incorporate possesion to dribbling prowess. We could see grealish if he actually took on his opponent and then had an extra finish factor. Doubt he’ll stay at brighton. City, Chelsea, and maybe United if ten hag stays

@@Theyoungone28a bit late but Ansu Fati is becoming a finisher now, he can't be a dribbler, or a winger that can hold on to the ball, anymore because of his severe knee injuries. Not necessarily a bad thing, just don't want people to have false hope and expect him to do what Grealish does.
4:20 - brilliant
JJ should hobestly just start his own channel, pretty sure all the Tifo viewers would follow and he deserves a much bigger slice of the pie. Most entertaining videos by far (big props to behind the scenes production team still) Cant honestly say I'd watch much Tifo now without the podcast if it were for him
this is a man loving his job. Fair play JJ
I love watching Brighton and De Zerbi still proves he is an immense coach, but he is so good and puts so much passion in playing this good football that it makes me doubt that he can succeed at a club like City, Real Madrid etc, where sometimes you let your principles aside and just evolve, rotate, do anything to win, like Pep did last season.
Love the new jersey setup behind JJ! That Kaka Milan one is a beauty
Shout out to the top-tier editing in this video - never before thought I would get to see DeZerbi's true form as a majestic butterfly
Love the new style you guys are running with, it's funny and creative. Keep it going!
He manages.
Do a video on the importance of Tony Bloom and to a lesser extent Mathew Benham on their contributions to their teams success. Isn't it not only the use of proprietary analytic software but how it's scientifically applied to transfers and a whole range of key indicators that explains their achievements?
Great one tifo
He puts the Brighton back into Brighton
Some of the animations in this video are almost on par with the brilliant silliness of JJ... great to see!
Guardiola sees through it. Man City will just stand and watch while Dunk has his studs on the ball. 90 minutes will pass without any movement. Casuals will say it's a boring game, but they lack the sophistication to see the strategic masterpiece unfolding before their very eyes

There was a Monty Python sketch from The Flying Circus where famous philosophers and thinkers were playing a football match. The ref blows his whistle and the philosophers and thinkers just wander around the pitch, scratching their chins. Sounds like the sort of thing you are on about! In the sketch, nothing happens until Archemedes shouts Eureka and dribbles down the pitch and scores!
JJ another fun and informative video. “Where did you go Cotton eye joe” never expected to see that in a football video.
Hope to see a few videos on a wider variety of teams eventually, as much as I enjoy the videos it feels like a lot of the same old topics sometimes. Maybe one on Maresca, Emery or why Bourmouth seem to be struggling.
He really is the master

Brilliant video JJ. Can u make an analysis on how Emeri smashed him? What did he do differently?
Which program did u use when u analyst the playing style of De Zerbi?
Now you guys have incorporated humour 😂 awesome buds
Its literally the teams hes managed, theyre not trophy machines, he also didnt have Messi in his squad like Guardiola 😂 i also like to think that that was actually Vacca speaking, and thats his real voice. Makes this video way better 😂

JJ has WAY too much fun on that screen. I wonder if you listened to his inner thoughts he would be going "Pew pew! Alpha team, flank that position!" Another thought is to just slow down the video so we can tell what he's actually talking about!

They didn't panic when they lost Potter and this is why. Brilliant recruitment by Brighton!
I love memes like that. “What does he actually do?”
One both goals Liverpool broke their build up with high pressing forcing them into errors.
I hope he can tell his compatriots not to gamble and cause the Italian national team not qualify for Euro 2024, World Cup 2026, Euro 2028 and World Cup 2030 (which btw is the 100th anniversary of the World Cup and if Italy can't qualify, I don't know what to say to the Godfather and the Super Mario Bros)

Fishing stool anyone?
Kind of surprises me that most coaches, particularly at an elite level, don't actively teach deception in receiving, passing, shooting, PKs and movement. Explains why players who figure that out on their own have large advantages.
It was a two cafetierre morning for JJ What happens when the player puts their studs on the ball and the other team don't take the bait?
Make a how to use an aging star featuring Ronaldo in Portugal and messi in Argentina both working in good systems around them with 100% win rate since WC
Not suprising that one of the best (De Zerbi) learn from the best (Bielsa).
5:34 I thought my monitor was shaking :)
I wonder what what the ceiling is with De Zerbi. His teams' play style is great with below average players. If he got his hands on elite young talent he would probably be winning silverware (or more seriously competing for it).

Wait. So if someone comes to play for a point and doesn't press, why would he bother to press when the player stands with his studs on the ball as he knows that he's being baited.
Maurizio Sarri won his first trophy when he was 58. De Zerbi can win major trophy if he has the right players.
Toni Kroos is the model de zerbi player. Everything youre describing, Toni kroos always does. One of the most underrated players of this generation.

Beware of Guardiola paying you a lot of compliments - he won't do this if he sees you as a genuine threat. He's happy to lavish praise on coaches that play football the 'right' - i.e. his - way so long as they are managing at clubs that aren't on his team's level. Soon as you're considered a serious challenger to him though the nice words will stop.
JJ's eternally doomed to be in a constant battle against insanity.
