The managerial style and persona of Thomas Tuchel. đŸ‡©đŸ‡Ș

[Thread]

 Thomas Tuchel:

“My philosophy is an aesthetic one; aesthetic means to control the ball, the rhythm to attack in every minute, and to try and score as many goals as possible.”
If there is to be a defining and key element to Tuchel’s style and philosophy, it has to be his willingness and ability to shift and alter his setup - varying on matter of opposition that his side will face.

Essentially, he epitomises the post-modern manager.
Pep Guardiola is a prime example of a manager hell-bent on positional shifting and versatility in this side.

Thomas Tuchel takes this to even bigger heights. Engrossed on the desire to have multiple formations and systems, it’s almost as if he’s managing a video game.
The need for control is another part of the game that can be attributed to Tuchel’s style.

The core aims of Tuchel - a fusion of Klopp and Guardiola - include preventing the opposition from playing through the Gegenpress and attempting to dominate at any given time.
Within Tuchel’s teams, his main intentions are to never seek counter-attacks extensively and follow a low block.

Alternatively, he looks at the higher areas of the pitch, wins back possession, and zip the ball around with super technicality.
His objectivity to play his stylish and fashionable possession, requires the appropriate personnel.

The so-called “water carriers” required nimbleness of the game, specifically the likes of Herrera and Gueye at his previous club, PSG.
Midfielders with more modest and stylish aspects of their game, are vital to Tuchel’s possession-based approach.

At Borrusia Dortmund, he had fellow Germans, Julian Weigl and Ilkay GĂŒndogan. At PSG, he had similar profiles, Marco Veratti and Leandro Paredes.
Tuchel despises the idea of players being robotic - too static and being too drilled.

He’s a firm believer in his player’s ability to solve problems, within pressure situations. It endorses the challenge to constantly stretch his players.
His innovation and attention to detail is strikingly crafty, especially during training sessions.

Players train on slippery surfaces, very narrow and very wide pitches - which are presented with brain teasers, such as stabilising the ball with their knees.
In most recent events, Tuchel’s Chelsea got a taste of his innovative methods.

Mini-sized footballs were implemented, to increase the player’s ball control. Additionally, rucking shields were also used, to improve his player’s physicality and strength.
Despite the accolades, despite the impressive resumé that he brings, Tuchel is yet to really carve out that dynasty that so many top managers crave.

He’s a perfectionist. He wants power. He has ambition, but his lack of alignment with the club’s hierarchy has been evident.
Nevertheless, Tuchel is aware of the Chelsea culture - regarding managers.

In his full unveiling to the Chelsea faithful, Tuchel said: “It is about winning. The DNA of the club is to win and go for trophies. I am here to challenge for every trophy.” Ambitious.
It’s such early days for Tuchel at Chelsea. However, in such short space of time, he’s really bought the fans to his side.

His transparency with his players is top-tier. Handles the media, extremely well - equipped with that confidence and enthusiasm to be here. It’s refreshing.
It’s now a matter of having the suitable platform and implementing his mark on the football club.

This comes with time, it comes with character and following such a devastating sacking of Frank Lampard, it needs the backing of the supporters. It’s crucial.

How PM Imran Khan was humiliated during OIC conference.

Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has condemned the construction of the Ayodhya Ram Temple in India at the Conference of Islamic Countries (OIC).

UAE,which chaired the confernce asked Imran,What is the problem for the Islamic world with India building a temple in their country?
What is the problem for the Muslims of the world with the AyodhyaRama Temple? We hv no interest in interfering in the intrnal affairs of India.

In addition, we have provided 13 acres of land in our country for temple construction and 13.5 acres of land for parking and other facilities for Hindus.

Nowhere in the world have Hindus, who live and study attempt or incite riots or carry out suicide attacks in the name of

religion. They are peaceful and live according to the laws of the land.

Temple construction in India is an internal matter of India.  That is not the issue to be discussed here now.  India will look after India.

When will Pakistan repay the money it

borrowed from OlC? All Islamic countries except Pakistan contributed to this fund. Pakistan only borrows but failed to pay up.

Then the President of the Maldives stood up and began to say "The separatist and coup attempts instigated by Pakistan have created many internal

THREAD.

In analysing the Afghan political spectrum something becomes obvious: Kabul's base is far more diverse than the Taliban's. For simplicity's sake, I'll count stronger opposition toward the Taliban than Kabul as 'pro Kabul'.

Let's assess these generally. Exceptions apply.

A diverse base isn't necessarily, however, a good thing. Appealing to everyone ensures you appeal to no one, or that your support base is so fractured that it actually becomes a liability. Think of Clinton losing the Democrat majority in Congress being a blessing in disguise.

Some pro-Kabul groupings:

1) ethnonationalists of all ethnicities. Whilst the non-Pashtuns amongst them aren't pro-Ghani, they're pro-Kabul as an institution; they see it as far more representative and amenable to their interests than the Taliban.

Some Pashtun nationalists do support the Taliban (majority Pashtun) but these are a minority. The biggest blemishes on the Taliban's Pashtun credentials:

a) The Taliban/Pakistan relationship
b) their overt Islam, which many Pashtun nationalists are hostile toward.

2) The enlightened 'roshan-fikr' demographic

Liberals/seculars. Not much intro needed: progress, freedom, spectacular gains of the last 19 years, women's rights et cetera. You generally notice quite an anti-Islam, wholesale adoption of War on Terror rhetoric in their rationale.

Bravery

6 May 17, I was privileged to fly on the last chopper that brought back the released Chibok girls. Seeing the girls - young, naive BUT broken, was a reminder of how cruel man is. When we touched down, I stayed with them briefly in the C-130 before the Abuja lap.


Military medics began basic checks, deworming them and tending their wounds. There was one particular girl who had lost a leg. She said the Air Force had hit BHT positions & during the strike she lost a leg. I stared at her, wishing it was a dream.

Sitting beside her was another girl - the bravest girl I ever met. For the purpose of this thread, let us call her 'N'. N kept a daily journal of what happened everyday at the BH camp. I snapped as many pages as I could. The girls attested that she was the leader of the pack.


Right under Boko Haram's nose, every night, after the terrorists had ordered them for 'lights out', she would organise the girls for prayers & morning devotion the next day. I found myself smiling sheepishly at this. This is faith. This is bravery.

When the medics were done & we were notified that the C-130 would depart for Abuja, N made a signal & all the girls sat up, crossed their legs & bend their heads. N led them in prayers. I would later learn that this was their routine when there was danger or the bombs dropped.

BRITSH ARMY HEADCOUNT REDUCTION (Thread)
Looking back at personnel cuts made in 2010, a reduced Army of 82,000 didn’t help Britain regain its financial strength, it simply signified a hollowing-out of our ability to defend ourselves.
(1 of 25)


It destroyed the credibility of David Cameron’s Coalition Government then and even more so in hindsight. It was military illiteracy on a grand scale. The problem wasn’t so much the reduction itself, but the fact that there was no real strategy behind it, no future plan.
(2 of 25)

Back in 2010, the UK's involvement Iraq and Afghanistan didn’t really serve our national interests (See Ben Barry’s book). If these conflicts were sub-optimal uses of the Army, they raised the important question of what the Army’s underlying raison d’ĂȘtre should be.

We hope the Integrated Review will provide a concrete response to this. In the meantime, the Integrated Operating Concept has been much talked about, but we have been left in the dark about what it signifies in terms of strategic priorities and a reconfigured force.

The resulting strategy will obviously be threat-driven with Russia, China, North Korea and Iran representing near-peer threats and Islamic terror groups in Africa and the Middle East posing an asymmetric threat. This suggests a mix of high-end and light forces.

Bellingcat and its investigative partners have established that Russian politician, Vladimir Kara Murza, was followed by a specialist FSB team prior to his suspected poisonings in 2015 and 2017.

Members of the same FSB team, some of whom have medical and chemical weapons backgrounds, tailed Alexey Navalny before he was poisoned with a Novichok substance in August 2020.

Kara-Murza is a well-known Russian politician, film-maker and an outspoken critic of Russian president Vladimir Putin. The circumstances around his suspected poisonings have long remained a mystery.

Travel details of FSB team members show they followed Kara-Murza on a campaign trip outside Moscow that ended less than 48 hours before his first poisoning incident in May 2015.


Kara-Murza recovered in the US before returning to Russia. Yet the same team began tailing him again just five months after he came back. He was poisoned for the second time in February 2017.

*Heads-up that this thread will feature some extreme examples of homophobia and transphobia.*

Hey folks, have you ever wondered why trans people face constant accusations of fetishism, sexual predation and child abuse/grooming? Well, today let's talk about stochastic terrorism.

So, first we have to talk about what stochastic terrorism actually is. Remember when there was a conspiracy that there was a pedophile ring operating out of a pizza parlour basement, and a crazed gunman showed up? It's that sort of incitement that stochastic terrorism describes.

It's the demonisation or incitement against a group of people or individuals with the intent that other, unaffiliated parties will act upon it; it's the releasing doctored footage and a shooter show up at Planned Parenthood as a direct result of what he's been led to believe.

So with that in mind, let's talk about Russia's extreme anti-LGBT laws that banned the "promotion" of LGBT lifestyles to children. A move that specifically marked LGBT people as a threat to children, and resulted in neo-nazis meting out vigilante "justice" against gay men.


Groups such as this would lure unsuspecting gay men via dating sites, and brutalise and humiliate them on camera. They did so under the guise of combating child abusers, one group calling themselves "Occupy

Okay look - I didn’t grow up with comic books. But I read stacks of science fiction digests and I kit-bashed model cars into fantasy rods, and just tried to maintain a low profile until I could get out of the house. So you could say I’m a distant cousin of the comic book fan. /1

And sometimes one’s childhood passion follows them into adulthood, sometimes not, sometimes as an adult one finds a passion they never had as a child and embraces it. For me, that must include getting involved with a puppet show at the age of thirty. /2

So who’s to say whose passion’s legitimate and whose is bogus? Nobody. Someone might indict your passion but they have no ground to stand on and should be dismissed out of hand. /3

Maybe they’re envious that you have a passion, maybe they think that their passion is cooler than yours, or maybe they’re just insecure, who knows. Doesn’t matter. /4

What matters is that if something gives you joy, and in the process doesn’t hurt others, then by all means follow it. It’s how we explore our secret hopes, our shadow sides, our inner character. /5
