Red Bull first got into football club ownership in 2005 with the acquisition of Austrian side RB Salzburg. Since then, they have invested in numerous sports and grown a multi-club football model which includes New York Red Bulls in the US, RB Bragantino in Brazil, and RB Leipzig from Germany. The Red Bull approach initially followed a stringent criteria and took a spin on traditional sponsorship in football, only acquiring clubs with potential for a re-brand and shared ethos. However, since the passing of its original founder in 2022, the group’s strategy shifted as the product of an overhauled management - and you could also say - today’s leveraged opportunities in sport This has led to Red Bull’s most recent deal for a minority stake in Leeds United with the club’s brand and current setup being recognised by the group as having ‘global potential’. Championship clubs offer investors accessible entry points into the Premier League with a minimum £140m gained on promotion, or £300m if relegation is avoided in the first season - not adjusted for any appreciation over coming seasons. If played right, it seems that English football may be the one that gives you wiings… 🪽

𝗟𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗯𝗼𝗯𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀... Perhaps afraid of public backlash from their core support, German sports executives seem to hardly exploit the potential of non-price sales promotions, such as adding accompanying concerts and fireworks to the matchday experience or introducing matchday giveaways to increase stadium attendance demand. That's certainly different in Major League Baseball (MLB), where team owners use such promotions on average for about every third match. And there's one giveaway that undoubtedly stands out: Bobbleheads. Yes, you've read this right. 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀! I love bobbleheads. I mean, who doesn't? Right? Here are five things you need to know about MLB bobbleheads. 1️⃣ I'm not an expert, but 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘀𝘁: Jeffrey Cisyk and Pascal Courty, from whose empirical results I generously draw here. 2️⃣ According to Jeffrey, MLB teams, on average, 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵, and giveaways are relatively common. 3️⃣ You wonder why? Distributing giveaways (e.g., bobbleheads) 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗟𝗕 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱, on average, by about 10%. 4️⃣ Different strategies exist, and giveaways are not always guaranteed. It's common to distribute giveaways on a 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲, 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗶𝘀 or to fans who bought special tickets. 5️⃣ Intriguingly, with bobbleheads, 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗶𝘁 𝗮 𝗹𝗼𝘄-𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 (𝗶.𝗲., 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆), successfully nurturing demand and, thus, making some decent profit. Why's that? While bobbleheads, which are relatively inexpensive, attract new spectators (ticketing income), both new and existing fans might arrive earlier to matches (e.g., concessions income) to grab their figure. What's your perspective on such promotions, Rick J.? Have you ever considered distributing bobbleheads, Daniel Däuper? Would you want one, Mark A. H.?

🔵⚽ High Pressing Principles in a 4-4-2 Formation: The Manchester City Approach ### Key Principles of High Pressing in a 4-4-2 Formation 1. Coordinated Team Movement:   - Effective pressing requires synchronized movements from the entire team. The forwards, midfielders, and even defenders move as a unit to close down passing lanes and limit the opposition’s options. 2. Trigger Pressing:   - Specific triggers, such as a backward pass or a poor first touch, signal the team to initiate the press. Recognizing these moments is crucial for an effective high press. 3. Forcing Play Wide:   - The pressing team aims to force the opponent to play the ball wide, where the touchline acts as an extra defender and options become limited. 4. Blocking Passing Lanes:   - Players position themselves to block passing lanes, making it difficult for the opposition to play through the press. This often involves cutting off central options and guiding the play towards the flanks. 5. Compact Shape:   - Maintaining a compact team shape ensures that players are close enough to support each other, reducing the space the opponent can exploit and increasing the chances of winning the ball back. ### Manchester City’s High Press in a 4-4-2 Formation 1. Strikers Pressing the Center-Backs:   - In City’s 4-4-2 setup, the two strikers focus on pressing the opponent’s center-backs. This direct pressure forces the center-backs to make quick decisions, often leading to errors or Long passes. 2. Midfielder Following the Deep-Lying Playmaker:   - If an opponent's midfielder drops between the center-backs to collect the ball, one of City’s midfielders steps up to follow him. This prevents the deep-lying playmaker from gaining time and space to distribute the ball effectively. 3. Forcing Play Wide:   - The initial pressing action is designed to push the play towards the touchline. By doing so, City limits the opponent’s options and sets up traps along the flanks.   - The winger or midfielder who joins the press supports this by positioning themselves to block any potential pass back into the center, ensuring the opponent has fewer options. 4. Defenders Following Dropping Opponents:   - If an opponent drops between City's midfield and defensive lines, a City center-back will step up to follow him, preventing him from receiving the ball or Force him To go Wide    - Similarly, if an opposing winger drops deep to receive the ball, City’s full-back will follow him, maintaining pressure and denying space. 5. Compact Midfield Support:   - The midfielders maintain a compact shape, staying close to each other and the pressing forwards. This compactness allows City to quickly swarm the ball if it’s played into the midfield.   - The defensive line also steps up to keep the team compact and to prevent long balls over the top from being effective. #Football #Tactics #HighPress #DefensiveStrategy #ManchesterCity #CoachingInsights Once Sport Total Football Analysis
