In this Player Analysis, we take a closer look at how one of the world's best full-backs, Nuno Mendes, positions himself outside the block. What decisions does he make during the build-up, and where do those decisions lead?
This episode focuses entirely on his positioning outside the block. Mendes is a player who always looks to play forward. To make that possible, he constantly has to make the right positioning decisions. How does he do it?
By watching this analysis, you'll gain a clear understanding of how a modern full-back like Mendes uses his positioning, scanning behaviour and body orientation to maximise his impact on the game.
