1 2 General patterns The team controls the ball in the back line, involving central defenders and a holding midfielder. Full-backs take high positions along the flanks while the rest of the players fill the central zone and half-space zones. Attackers frequently swap their positions. By rushing in different directions, players try to ruin opponent’s defensive structure and enter into the free zones. The attack is further quickly turned to the flank zone. Full-backs may also participate in the initial stage of attack. When opponents actively intensify the central zone, they move closer to own goal and receive the ball near the central line. Then they develop attacks using vertical passes to wingers on run into half- space zone.

Combinations down the flanks In positional attacks England mostly uses flanks. 1-2 centerfield players join flank players, the far winger may move to the strong flank. This allows the team to intensify the ball zone and enter positions for performing passes into the box by crafting well- organized combinations. Wingers might take a more central position and provide passing options between the lines. After 3 4 receiving the ball, the aim is to exploit attacking players’ runs behind opponent’s defense. It should be stressed that wingers might also drop deeper and support teammates in build-up.

Kane as a focal point up front The main striker – Kane is tall, aerially adept and is also mobile. Thus, the team have different dimensions of attack due to his versatility. Long balls are to be expected from goal kicks/back passes with pressure on the goalkeeper, for fast vertical build up and as a surprise attacking element – the main recipient will be Kane who has great aerial ability (67% winning rate). Moreover, Kane has a technical ability and awareness to link up play in the final third and help his team reach the final stage of attacks. The rotation and movement of the wingers allows him to drop and have options ahead or he can turn and look to dribble and/or shoot from any range. He also drags defenders with his movement thus creating space for supporting runners. Team stats analysis Counter-attacks 5

5 6 Recovery in opposition half The team overloads small zones close to the flanks for winning the ball back from the opposition and not allowing the ball to escape that zone of pressure. When they recover the ball, they try to move the ball promptly to another side, using the winger for first pass with the aim to open up space for quick transition. The wingers drift inside to receive from the recoverer, and can play through pass in behind for the attackers running behind the defenders’ backs or pass the ball back to the full-back who has the proper visual to evaluate teammates’ movement and give the ball to them. In such case the central midfielders tend to move outwards in response to the inwards movement of the winger, in order to provide width.

Recovery in own half The main option of development of counter-attacks is use of long passes after recovery in own half, trying to deliver a ball directly towards center-forward or winger (Rashford especially due to his height and pace). They open behind defenders’ back and make movements into free space to receive a ball freely. Such long passes can be done both right after ball recovery and 7 8 after quick draw in short pass, so at once first or second pass follows forward. Such passes are made often into challenges.

Actions in the final third Players try to aggravate a game due to penetrative passes between defenders under breakthroughs of attacking group. Kane often looks for an opportunity to make diagonal breakthrough behind defenders, trying to receive a ball on move to goal. After attacks down the flanks they are inclined to make crosses into the penalty area with its saturation or strong penetrative passes under a shot on goal. In the final third of the field players are able to cover the whole width and use transition of a ball from one flank to another, looking for openings of attacking group.

9 10 High pressing Although England are not playing all the time in high pressing, they are looking to be aggressive out of possession and they recover the ball in opponent’s half very often. They step higher especially early in the game or when they try equalize. At the same time, back line is well at protecting space behind them. They are not looking to step up quickly and as a result, if rivals can pass through that first line of pressing, space can be found in between their lines and counter-attack can be developed well from that position.

Breaks between the lines in transition Full-backs active performance and their regular vertical movements make them vulnerable to passes behind. When delivering the ball to the flank and when a defender promptly moves forward, it’s advisable to craft combinations between the two players with one-touch passes. Central defenders often stay in a narrow position and do not support a partner. When moving to own goal, English players periodically have a break between the lines. Dier moves to the box late, this allows opponent’s players receiving the ball and shooting, if they craft the second 11 12 chance attack. It’s advisable to perform soft ground passes to the area of the 11-meter mark.

Vulnerable under pressure in the initial stage of build-up England look to value the possession and build-up patiently from the back. However, against aggressive and fast opponents they suffer a lot under pressure during the first stage of build-up. As a result, it might be fruitful to press them and recover the ball in high zones of the pitch. The most vulnerable players are on flanks – Chilwell (2,3 lost balls in own half), Sterling (3 balls), Alexander-Arnold (2 balls). It is possible to hurt them with fast transitions and take advantage of the space conceded by defenders while they try to take a higher position. Team stats analysis Playing in defense 9

Corners in attack England - Croatia, 18.11.18 11:09 England - Croatia, 18.11.18 15:39 Chiwell, Barkley, Sterling and Henderson are among cross takers in recent games. 6 players position in opponent’s box. Sterling and Rashford are positioned in a way to complete crosses to the near corner of the goalkeeper’s box (the latter often rushes towards the taker while the former stays in the 6-yard box). 4 other players start their runs from the penalty spot area: Kane rushes to the far corner of the goalkeeper’s box, aiming at completing a nod-in from a partner or redirecting the shot, Dier runs towards near post, Stones rushes into the center from deep positions, locally intensifying the zone. The players are capable to perform combinations with a screen. The center of the box is England - Croatia, 18.11.18 17:55 England - Croatia, 18.11.18 08:27 the main direction of crosses. Chilwell or Barkley are picking-up the rebounds.

Free-kicks in attack Free-kicks are performed by the same group of players. Most often, the cross is sent on the outgoing trajectory to the far corner of the goalkeeper’s box. In this case the intensification is created by Kane or Alli moving from the depths of the box, Stones rushes towards the far post. When the set-piece is situated on the flank, the team has 6 players inside the box while another one may be on the flank as an option for short play and England - Croatia, 18.11.18 53:34 England - Croatia, 18.11.18 67:17 then to perform a cross. Players can perform a cross to the center of the box intended for Dier or one of the central defenders, but not for shooting, for performing a nod-in, as a rule, also to the far corner of the goalkeeper’s box. Cooperating, Sterling or Rashford can provide support to Kane by blocking an opponent when he moves to receive a cross.

The number of players in active defense inside the box depends on the rival’s behavior. Basically, Kane covers the near-post area and another one player secures the far post. Other 5-6 players perform individual covering. Sterling or another pacey player prepares for a transition phase. However, the number of players in active defense can go up, if opponents are truly dangerous in the corner- kick attacks. If an opposite-team decides to play a short-pass combination, 2 of the English players try to block a pass into the box. When defending players move closer to own goal, the upper zone of the goalkeeper’s remains uncovered, and the picking-up England - Croatia, 18.11.18 81:06 Spain - England, 15.10.18 20:57 player does not timely react to the nod-in to this zone.

Free-kicks in defense Zonal marking is used. When opponents choose to play ball into the box, the English players gather inside the penalty area or on its line. They wait for ball delivery in such setting. When the ball is played, they run – side by side with attacking opponents – towards place where ball is pointed. Additionally one or two players may stay in a wall, while one more player (Trippier, Barkley or Chilwell) could stay just in front of the defending line and wait for second balls collection. When opponent has a England - USA, 15.11.18 61:38 Spain - England, 15.10.18 22:07 chance to shoot directly, 4-5 players will stay in a wall, while others will be set in penalty area (or on its line) and mark rivals. However, the England players may have problems with distributing marking duties on the move.
