Different roles performed by Jandro Orellana against Villarreal B
๐‘ช๐’๐’๐’•๐’†๐’™๐’•:
Jandro Orellana is a 21 year old player for FC Barcelona B whose preferred position is as a DM. However, recently he was being played as a #8 by Pimienta. In this game he played at his preferred position and also got an assist.
๐‘ฉ๐’‚๐’“๐’„๐’‚ ๐‘บ๐’†๐’•๐’–๐’‘
In the 1st half, he had to play lower, essentially forming a back 3 (usually as a ballfar CB)
Villarreal B would press in a front 2 and Barca B got a 3v2 advantage against 1st line of press.
Opp CFs would press and the free #8 would occupy the pivot space
This 3v2 advantage was efficient against a vertically compact block of Villareal B.

If the 2 CFs would compress the space on the ball carrier-> ball would circulate between the CBs and the new ball carrier could step out with the ball. He would have multiple progressive lanes
Here are some clips where Jandro would create a 3 at the back and Barca B would ๐˜ค๐˜ช๐˜ณ๐˜ค๐˜ถ๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ and he could step out of his line to make penetrative/progressive passes
At times when he would step out of his line due to the freedom assigned to him he could add himself as a passing lane (higher positioning=better & #39;๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜น๐˜ต& #39; pass) and hence helping the ball carrier ( #8) when he would be pressured.
In the 2nd Half, Pimienta made 3 changes including Rier (CB) subbing Martinez.

This meant Jandro now could play as the pivot and the 3 CBs was naturally created. Jandro now had the ๐˜ง๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ to position himself.
This new system itself created 2v1 overloads in the 2nd phase
His positioning would attract opposite player(s) and would intend a jump from them. This forced them to overcommit thereby expanding space for the 2 interiors and/or the forwards.
Look how he ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฑ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ด ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ด๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ฆ which was created by Alex Collado& #39;s decoy movements allowing Konrad to hit the space in behind.
Like I said before his ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ๐˜บ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ and positioning at times forces you to overcommit and consequently expanding space for forwards in-behind. The forwards utilize this space by making penetrative passes with easier passing angles.
