Along the way, we will always remember those who tried to play football beautifully as a sign of identity, belonging to a constructive process that does not alter and whose essence of play can remain intact despite existing within highly variable contexts and enduring the irreversible passage of time.

How Unai Emery has turned Aston Villa into a fully fledged European force has been nothing short of remarkable, a far cry from the side he inherited three and a half years ago when they were hovering just three points above the relegation zone. The scale of the transformation has been extraordinary.

Catanzaro under Alberto Aquilani continues to offer tactical insights that lead us to reflect on the complexity of the game and on how it can be controlled, while at the same time opening itself up to the game’s intrinsic uncertainty, which no longer becomes merely a negative factor to be reduced, but rather an opportunity to be seized.

In the search for advantage, Catanzaro adopts a dynamic occupation of space through positional rotations, overlapping runs, and forward projections (see Cassandro in the action leading to the goal): a strategic approach that combines functions and positions, starting from a structure designed to reduce uncertainty before attempting to exploit the opportunities that uncertainty itself can offer.

New nuances within positional play continue to emerge: more individual pressing without cover, more compact teams organised to recover possession immediately and initiate another attacking sequence, even more mobile false nines dropping into the build-up phase, emptier midfields at the base of play, less symmetry, more relational traits, more long passes in the build-up, and fewer passes overall.

We cannot escape a generalised principle of uncertainty, Edgar Morin lays the foundations of a new paradigm of complexity. Once closed and antagonistic, subject and object, order and disorder, are now linked — at once contradictory and complementary. Within this framework, uncertainty becomes an integral part of complex organisations and can no longer be ignored by the observer.

A positional system is a system that has the ability to self-organise through the continuous search for advantages. Structure is essential as a starting point, to establish order, control, and reduce uncertainty. However, uncertainty is an integral part of complex organisations, and certain automatisms and forms of knowledge allow an initially rigid system to find advantages through relationships, interactions, and connections between players.

Positional play is fully trainable, and in order to design a training process, it is necessary to recognise which types of preferential simulated situations promote advantages that reduce uncertainty in the real game, creating transferable habits within the chaos of playing in stressful environments.

This fluidity is central to their unpredictability and capacity to find solutions, as their base formation is merely a starting point before evolving into a variety of positional rotations and sequences within Fàbregas’ plans that are predominantly positional but also feature elements of relationism.

Giráldez, then, was truly the best choice to put Celta back on track: the right man for a club that has always relied on academy products and that possessed a squad full of players inclined toward ball dominance.

With Francesco Farioli, pausa is therefore inseparable from two fundamental principles of positional play: triangular play and the search for the third man. After slowing the rhythm, the centre-backs seek to regain speed through triangulation aimed at finding the third man facing play. The practical implementation of pausa thus takes place within a positional structure in which the same passing circuits are repeated and automatised.
