Bence şu an her takım pozisyonlarını rotasyon ediyor. Bazı takımlar fazlaca rotasyonel davranırken bazıları ise daha az hareketlilik gösteriyor. PSG'yi diğerlerinden farklı kılan ise sahadaki oyuncuların her pozisyonu oynayabilme becerisi. Bu sebepten pozisyonları kolayca oldukça akışkan şekilde değiştirebiliyorlar. Örneğin Nuno Mendes hem iç koridoru oynayabilir hem 3-2-5'in sol stoperi gibi davranabilir hem de sol çizgiyi kullanabilir. Hücum üçlüsü sol kenarı sağ kenarı ve forveti oynayabilir. Dembele derine indiğinde Kvara veya Doue rahatça kendini en uca atabilir. Bu tüm rotasyonları akışkan hale getirince ise ortaya mükemmel bir futbol çıkıyor.

‘If Ous leaves number 9, we know to go to number 9 to have a striker’ ‘If I want touches on the right, Doue comes inside’ ‘We all change positions, if Nuno goes high someone goes in his position’ Mobility. Importance of terminology. The pinacle of my 10tweet PSG thread.
