I always loved that too. I think Jamie always just saw himself as the talent, and not the leader. Regardless of how much skill you have, being able to command an entire room of professional athletes I would think is beyond challenging.
I heard someone on one of these videos say, "Season 1, Jamie thinks he's 1 in a million. Season 2, Jamie decides he's just 1 of 11. Season 3, Jamie realizes he's both." It's true, and such a profound moment of synthesis that every top athlete in every team sport has to accept.
Actually very valid call, in football overloads are a huge part of the game and 4 on 3 gives the attackers the knowledge that they have a free man and more time to pick a pass or dribble!
@@Cloner552 I think you've missed the point of that. It's nothing to do with football. It's just what he wants them to yell when they put their hands in as a team.
Two favorite parts - "4 on 3 - 1 2 3 4" always makes me smile. And, I love how the entire scoring scene uses music that elevates throughout and how they cut back to the fans watching and enjoying the beauty of the game when played as a team. Very well done.
The beauty of this show was that almost every scene, every line, is reflective of or refers to another scene or line. Earlier in the season, Zava rearranges the board to place himself all alone while the rest of the team is grouped together away from him. Here, Jamie rearranges the board to place himself amongst the team, the complete opposite of what Zava did.
And the way that Jamie went from someone who expected to score all the goals himself, whose father belittled him for playing an assist, to someone who's greatest strength *is* passing to and supporting his teammates
A small detail of Jaime’s character growth I just noticed after rewatching the show, in the first season he would pronounces Richards name the English way, because he didn’t care about him enough to know how to pronounce it properly. Now he cares about his teammates and friends and respects them enough to pronounce his name properly.
I still vividly remember as a kid in 1990s USA who was always playing wingback and winger because of my passing ability...being totally confused by my coach's desire to train me as a Treqartista. You want me WHERE? You want the whole offense to go THROUGH me? What does that mean? How does that work? All I knew before then was the old static defense to forward crossing and long balls...but being the middle maestro...totally alien concept. I am ashamed to say I never did get it for that coach. I did get it a few years later and it was my favorite position to play. Some guys get that orgasmic rush from scoring a great goal...for me, I always got the rush from making that killer pass and setting up the goal. Oh man...best feeling in the world.
My god dude, trequartista is just a term introduced into football language through Football Manager. It had no meaning before the 2010s when it was used as a term to try and group players together like Di Natale, Del Piero, and to a lesser degree, Totti. There's no way you or your coach were using the term in 1990s amateur schoolboy football.
@@Aztwecas”trequartista” (an italian term), is definitely from before 2010s and NOT from a videogame. It’s used since AT LEAST the ‘70s/80s here in Italy. I played from early 90s to 2005-2006 here in Italy, and everyone used it as a term. It usually was the position of the number 10. It literally means “player of the three fourths”, meaning the offensive zone of the field between midfield and the box.
@@Aztwecas we found the edgy reddit nerd who thinks he is better than everybody...hope you are proud of your comment xD and as showing in the comments already, trenquartista is a much older term than football manager and even you.
Jamie Tart realizing he needs to become Frank Lampard (a center attacking midfielder for Chelsea and the English National Team and my favorite player all time) is fucking priceless.
I think he's playing a false 9, like Messi before MSN. It's a playstyle where the center-foward leaves his position and drops to the midfield to create space and to receive the ball in better positions to playmake. Roberto Firmino, one of my favorite players, also played like that at Liverpool.
People forget that Jamie was already familiar with the “Total Football” Concept because He did play with Manchester City FC and their Coach “PEP” was an Proponent as spotlighted in the introduction Video shown by the AFC Richmond Coaches.
I also love Jamie's character development in pronouncing Richard's name properly. He always called him the Anglocised "Richard" but this time he said, "re-shard".
its also a good relatively believable way for the team to use Total Football without the actual amount of training that would take. Limited total Football.
The BEST part about this scene is even those that have zero clue about soccer watches the motion of the ball and even they know it was something magical.
I'm still a bit annoyed how they didn't flesh out the progression properly. Roy - a defensive midfielder - was giving Jamie extra coaching. This could have been more than just the cardio they did together.
at its core, the show isn't about football, its about progression as a person. change football to basketball, hockey or even professional golf (if golf was a team sport) the show would play out the same way. also roy kent was the idol of Tartt, so its like the master is giving the gauntlet to the student, passing all his knowlage to the younger generation :) also they did 3 trainings per day if im not mistaken, could be they only shown cardio, maybe they did work on skills as well
1:00, na coach, this entire season proved it. The golden retriever was right. Personal sacrifice for the good of the team IS number 4. The double poop.
