There are few surprises here: Pep Guardiola is a ‘full control’ coach, with Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea the nearest side in terms of style. Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool do use a ‘full control’ style, but are closer to a more direct style, which is due to the more direct passing style his side often employs. Marcelo Bielsa’s tenure at Leeds provides their e...
The Bundesliga throws up some major surprises. The biggest cluster of seven is in the ‘park the bus’ area, with Pellegrino Matarazzo’s Stuttgart intersecting that region with the ‘wing overload’ one. No team really plays the ‘wing overload’ style, though, one which is pretty common elsewhere, while the Bundesliga’s reputation as a very high pressin...
La Liga is also a bit odd. The primary cluster is like the Premier League’s, the intersection around ‘wing overload’ and other styles. Xavi’s Barcelona occupy the ‘really good team’ spot, while Unai Emery’s Villareal are amusingly close, stylistically, to Arteta’s Arsenal. But, otherwise there is some variety.

Mauricio Pochettino is ...

Generally speaking, the Premier League and LaLiga are most similar, while the Bundesliga is less direct than one might expect, and Serie A is probably the most diffuse league s...

Nov 6, 2021 · Serie A ranks as the least competitive league of the top 5, only ranking as more competitive than the Ukrainian Premier League. Even though some European qualification or relegation spots can be up for grabs, most seasons the top teams have a lot more points than the worst teams.
