Some creative build-up ideas from @SarajarviJani 's Estonia u21 team.
It always makes me happy when I find something new. Like this U21 Estonian build-up for instance.

'Most of what I do on the pitch comes from futsal' I guess there's a fair chance Rios ends up in the EPL for millions £. Then we'll get: 'why can't we produce more players like him? its because kids don't play street games anymore'. But futsal? hey, no way man, thats ludicrous.
“La mayoría de lo que hago en el campo me viene del fútbol sala. Cuando controlo el balón pisándolo, cuando encaro el uno contra uno, cuando hago una pared. El fútbol consiste en micropartidos de 1vs1 dentro de un partido muy grande”. Richard Ríos. 🕺🇨🇴 https://t.co/wsVXugocvx

With the best intentions, I gave players technical cues & footwork tips—thinking I was helping. But my sessions looked nothing like the game. Shifting to a nonlinear approach changed everything. Now they explore, adapt, and actually play the GAME.
