Real Sociedad are doing pretty well in La Liga this year. They’re currently 3rd in the table, and I’ve really enjoyed watching them. That’s partly because of their unique tactical setup, which uses a pure number 10, something we don’t see too often anymore.

So in this video I give an overview of the tactics deployed by coach Imanol Alguacil, and how La Real use one of the best number 10s in the game, David Silva, to make the system work. Enjoy!

I’d like to do more of this style of video, so let me know what other teams/players I should cover!
