Julian Nagelsmann has stated in interviews that coaches need to master five phases of the Game. These are
1. Ball possession 2. The opponents possession 3. Counterpressing 4. Counter attacks 5. Set pieces
He opines that Klopp focuses more on attacking and counterpressing, Guardiola more on ball possession and counter pressing.
What areas do we think Celtic Excel at and what areas need more work. Does Ange focus on just two or all 5?

Julien Nagelsmann forgot the very important bit of mastering scoring goals in that wee write up.

Who’s Julian Nagelsmann?

I think obviously our pressing and ball possession is good, certainly in Scotland.
Could work more on our shape off the ball, especially in Europe.
This is where it must be frustrating for Ange. Lack of meaningful attacking teams in Scotland, we go into Europe largely untested off the ball.CookieMonster and Creativecelt like this. -

Up and coming European coach. Recently parted company with Bayern and being touted to replace Conte at spurs.Sean Daleer likes this. -
I would suggest Defence should be added as Phase 6, because all good teams I believe, are built on the foundations of a water tight defence.It could be argued that we currently are witnessing the best Celtic defence in decades under Ange, arguably even since the era of the Lisbon Lions team.
Phase one, ball possession under Julian Nagelsmann's theory could possibly be seen as an amalgam of the two.
This,its forerunner, possession football, was something new that Jock Stein's Lisbon Lions ran up against in the European Cup Final against Feyenoord in 1970. -
You should tell him that.
I reckon, given it is highly doubtful his first language is English, that he would clarify along the lines of 1) attack 2) defense 3) attacking transition 4) defensive transition and 5) set plays
Otherwise you are genuinely implying that he has also omitted attack. However, maybe you are right and he doesn't know football teams attack and defend . . . .
