Many are questioning how United was able to score 10goals during the pre-season : Louis Van Gaal Tactical System: Offensive: The half-spaces The half-spaces are the areas between the flanks and central zone. The reason for the play to be channelled through the half-spaces is because the central zone is congested and being guarded tightly by the oppositions especially by the midfield pivot while the flanks are too restrictive. Half-spaces are the areas that being exploited by majority of the best attacking teams in Europe- Liverpool, Manchester City, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich. It is because for a striker, these are the spaces closest to the goal for them to exploit while for the creative players, these spaces that allow them to have 360 degrees playing angles which enabled them to utilise their creativity. As can be seen from Louis Van Gaal tactical system, the shape and the movement are designed to channel the play through these half spaces, from the buildup phase to the final phase Apart from the wing-back players, all the players position themselves either centrally or in half-spaces. Under Van Gaal, United players are much more aware of finding the players in pockets of spaces and more calculated when making a pass. Rather than making a Hollywood forward passes or long diagonal passes to the wide areas, their first option always to find the players through the middle. This of course is helped by the fact that the team shape set-up by Van Gaal encourage the play to be channeled through the middle and the maximum triangular of web passing lanes contribute to better interchanging of passes. Apart from channeling the play through central areas and more methodological passing and movement, one of the most notable differences under Van Gaal is the willingness of players to play into more crowded areas as opposed to previously whereby most of the time, they will take the easier route of passing it to wide players. Inclusion:Louis Van Gaal when asked what he stands for he said I train the players in their brains, not their legs. It is about brainpower” Man United will rise in a big way......
