What is a Regista? Maurizio Sarri’s Chelsea have taken the Premier League by storm with his unique style of possession based. Key to Sarriball is the use of a Regista at defensive midfield. The role is similar to that of a deep-laying playmaker, but is more heavily involved the attacking side of the game.
Regista in Italian means ‘director.’ A player who would start his move by lying deep in his own half just in front of the centre-backs then find his teammates with balls into advanced areas. Using his range of passing and vision to dictate the play. The attacking moves will originate from the Regista who will remain at the pivot of every attacking play. In essence, the Regista becomes the focal point as well as the organisational mastermind of a team.
Over the years, there have been many fine Registas. The first great one was Gerson. He played for the great 1970 Brazil side that went on to lift the World Cup. Gerson was partnered in defensive midfield with, at the time, 20 year old Clodoaldo, a more defensively minded physical central midfielder. 27 years later, the next great Regista made his way to the Champions League final with AC Milan. Andreas Pirlo was the first great modern day Regista controlling things at defensive midfield in Carlo Ancelotti’s christmas tree formation that lifted the Champions League final in 2007. Onto the current day, Jorginho has emerged playing the role for Maurizio Sarri. First at Napoli under the Italian tactician and then currently in the Premier League with Chelsea partnering N’Golo Kante and Ross Barkley in a three-man midfield.
The signing of Jorginho to Chelsea has allowed Sarriball to flourish in the Premier League. It has freed up Alonso to attack down the left, Morata has got back to goal scoring best and Eden Hazard is set to flourish under Sarri like Insigne did for Napoli with Jorginho being the man to find the Belgian in between the lines.
