SOCIO-AFFECTIVE
Socio-affective superiority occurs when the relationship between the players is so complicit and good that authorship is created when acting. It is a psychological superiority.
A good example would be the Xavi-Iniesta relationship when they played for the Spanish team and for FC Barcelona.
POSITIONAL
According to Coach Football, in order to create this type of superiority, we must train and study positions that we will then maintain together at an equal pace. It is a position that we pre-establish and that makes it difficult for the rival to know how to read plays. At that time, our team will be able to dominate the game.
A good example is Guardiola's Barça: they kept the ball and tried to find space to create chances.

QUALITATIVE
