Why Bayern Munich are dominating under Vincent Kompany: elite wing isolation, Harry Kane’s quarterback role, relentless high pressing and the Bundesliga’s best defence combine to create Europe’s most complete team.

An in depth tactical analysis of Cesc Fàbregas’ Como, exploring their vertical build up, positional rotations, and high pressing, and how his ideas differ from Pep Guardiola, Mikel Arteta, Xabi Alonso, and align closer to Roberto De Zerbi’s approach.

The inverted full-back is one of the most important tactical developments in modern possession football. Rather than staying wide, they step into midfield during build-up to create central overloads, improve rest defence, and free attacking players to operate higher up the pitch. This role helps teams control transitions, open passing lanes, and create better attacking structures.

Pep Guardiola has defined Manchester City’s identity, making his eventual replacement a huge call. Roberto De Zerbi offers continuity without stagnation - a possession-led, aggressive system built on structured build-up, rotation, and pressing. His principles closely mirror Pep’s, while adding fresh ideas that could evolve City rather than reset them, making him a natural post-Guardiola successor.
