'Force your Luck' - Julian Nagelsmann (Patreon)

1) Our players are eager to receive the ball in the box because they are in the offensive positions on the field and want to score goals;

2) With many players inside the opposition penalty area you pin many opponents, which makes them less dangerous on the counter.

It's very simple, if we have many players inside the box, then the chance of us scoring is higher. Not only from the initial shot, but also second balls and rebounds. The likelihood that the ball will ricochet to us is significantly higher if you have six players inside the box, or sometimes even more.

• They always say that inside the box it's 'man v man' (man marking) rather than zonal defending.
• If we have many players inside the box we either have free players or we pin many opponents.
• They therefore have a lot less players for the counter-attack and it's a lot easier to counter press.
• This increases the probability for 'easy goals' (you could say that is pure luck, but we put many players inside the box. The rebound comes back and we can get a second chance).

SIMPLY:

MORE PLAYERS INSIDE THE BOX INCREASES THE PROBABILITY THAT THE BALL WILL FALL TO US FOR A SECONDARY SHOT, OR AT THE VERY LEAST, GUARANTEE THAT WE WILL NOT GET COUNTERED ON.

There is no need to over complicate things, by simply having more players in and around the box there will be a higher chance of ricocheted shots leading to free shots, handballs, free kicks and penalties.
