Since Ange football is the hottest football in PL right now and some people say why we don't just copy their game. I take a few screenshot from their highlights vs palace to show how they play.
Ange football like most modern system is a possesion based football with heavy pressing. Unlike Sarriball, it is not a circuit based and unlike Pepball, it is not a strict position based football. Even during build up you can see tons of movement.

This is their build up shape. You must be thinking, what the hell is that? That is just a mess. Where is the 32 magical buildup that everyone use

The ball then goes to the vdv and davies invert to midfield. Unlike city buildup where you see stones straight away start as dm, you see a lot more movement in Angeball.

Vdv run wide and pass the ball to Richarlison who flick the ball to Madison.

This is interesting because you can see 4 player left hand side overload with a st still in the middle.
Madison has many option here : backpass, pass to Richarlison, beat his man or thread ball to Davies


He pass the ball to Richarlison and Richarlison took a shot.
This is a nice sequence. People say let's just copy spurs. Imagine if Richarlison flick get intercepted, vdv will be on sprint race against palace attacker with whole left field wide. Vdv is crazy fast so he will be ok but imagine this were silva.


(BTW you can see similar 4 man overload often under TT. The biggest difference is you replace Madison with Kai (st), Richarlison with chilwell, Davies with Mount. So if you have a Haaland, he will be in Madison position not in the box , sounds crazy but this was TT ball)
This is just a very small snippets of Angeball. It is interesting, very dynamic but it is far riskier than let's say pep ball. You need athletic player everywhere. I think there are some interesting stuff that Poch can use but not sure this system suit Enzo as pivot and silva.
