good evening boys and girls, in this topic you can find all my tactical analyses of real football from all over the world. These are the analyses that I create to then recreate my tactical emulations in Football Manager 24.

Already as a footballer he had demonstrated a brilliant football mind and above-average vision of the game, but after hanging up his boots he also demonstrated foresight as an entrepreneur, manager and coach.
