"Their playstyle is unpredictable because of the outstanding versatility each player has and can play in any position and formation, but the principle remains the same. They slightly adjust all based on the opposition to counter and disrupt their game plan. Nagelmann is a versatile and unpredictable coach. It might be hard for his players to play in various systems and positions, let alone for the opposition managers to figure out how to best approach them. Nevertheless, the players all have worked on it in the training ground to familiarize themselves to be more swift on the pitch. As the game is so fast and unpredictable, they know they need to be fast and quick to execute everything they do on the pitch. They value collective solutions rather than individual solutions. When out on the pitch, various problems and scenarios arise where players have to choose, and what Nagelsmann does best is to train them behind the scenes to reduce their range of options so they can pick the best one by themselves.\n \n\n\n\tThings he uses regularly are the use of double pivots in his formations, such as (5-2-1-2, 5-2-3, 4-2-3-1, 4-2-2-2, 4-2-4). The advantage of two pivots allows for more versatility by staggering the line creating more depth and height, and rotation. He values possession but want it to be quick with one or two touches and wants his players to be diagonal and vertical. They can accelerate rather quickly, going through each phase (consolidation phase, penetration phase, transitioning to attack) in the blink of an eye. Rotation and progression are critical, and being vertical and diagonal helps with that. They press not wildly but focus on closing down passing lanes and angles, forcing the opposition out wide where they can then close down in numbers and further suffocate the opposition to turnover possession. Nagelmann does not like his players to engage in a physical duel to win possession but wants his players to crowd the opposition's options to force them into mistakes. Their pressing trap also depends on how the opposition likes to play, whether they like to build centrally or out wide. Angles, Body Shape, Timing, Opposition teams, and players are all taken into account before engaging in a game plan.\n "
