I managed to witness Simba SC playing a friendly match with the Cambiaso youth in a 2-2 draw
Forget about the results, you can mock them due to the size of Simba SC in front of the Cambiaso boys but if you would be lucky to see the match and what Pablo was aiming to achieve, you will look at the coach and future of Simba SC.
Pablo urged his players to go fast forward without many touches approach giving them a caution of two major types of passes on the field; either diagonal or direct passes completely rejecting the build up of back passes or square passes for each player.
Square passes and back passes he allowed for midfielders only if they can't pass the ball forward
This training is most often done when a coach wants to develop a high-speed attack system, i.e. pressing the ball to stay in line (high pressing).
His application in training the coach is not very focused on how you defend because the first goal is to know how to move the ball forward fast without unnecessary dribbling and back passes aiming to force you to move forward no matter how difficult it is without killing the attacking tempo and team opening. speed.
Once you understand then the coach comes to make a tactical balance and defensive pattern. Pablo knows Simba' problem is not in defense but in opening up fast to create more chances to score with a number of players in the box (numerical superiority).
Also with these tactics he can probably bring back the old Simba style of play
