Such a genius in his simplicity. Don't tell players they need to be great all over the field. Just have them be great in a small area of the field. So damned simple! Do everything offensively and defensively in a small area and don't worry about the rest. Why does no one else do this!!!!???
I am writing a speech in school on why I belive total Football is the best way to play Football. So Rinus, Johan and Pep is the key roles in my speech.
You might want to suggest it helped having some of the best players in the world / competition. Ajax did it. Guardiola's Barca, too. International Holland didn't and Cruyff's Barca hardly won everything there was to win.
Total football is basically just positional play. If you move from your position, someone else will move to your old position, and so on. Most modern teams today try to do this. Its a rigid structure that makes the football fluid, since everyone knows where their teammates are at all times.
Problem with this kind of football is that you cant find 11 players who understands it. Nowadays it cost 1Bilion to buy these kind of players who can play this. Only 3 or 4 teams in Europe can play it, even Guardiola failed to implement total football at Bayern, with great players there
Actually Louis Van Gaal did build a team like that at Man United. Alas he was kicked out due to poor performance (more due to playing reserve team for whole of Prem). Now Jose completely destroyed it.
@@sudharshanve8519 no the issue with van gaal's game is that there was no freedom of movement and it was to stagnant. In this team of Cruyff, the players have freedom of movement and interchanging position but van gaal could never get that across to the United players or the Bayern players when he managed them ( apart from 09/10) . He also messed up by moving Di Maria from the middle where he had been phenomenal the previous year for Carlo Ancelotti( one of the best players in the world that year.)
@@vybhavbadri4002 1. Di Maria never played in the middle throughout his life. 2. Van Gaal not allowing freedom of movement was a myth circulated. He was only critical about positions in the back and middle and horizontal swapping of positions (left winger coming into right wing) and vice versa not the final 3rd, which is just like how Pep does. 3. He was scapegoated to cover for Man Utd Board's big time fuck ups in transfer deals in his time, Pedro, Otamendi, Hummels, Renato Sanches, Fabinho etc. to name a few and before him in the form of Fabregas and Gareth Bale and now there are more goof ups like Ivan Persic, Harry Maguire etc. Imagine how a manager feels if he is promised he will get Fabregas when he arrives and was handed Marouane Fellaini??? 😂😂😂😂😂
It doesnt depend on the players, it depends on the coach. Thats what emery did. He was the coach for a laliga123 team and carried this team to laliga santander.
Hello Samira ,where do i can see the complete video? because i tried to see the link you give to another pearson and i need a permission of you to see that video.thanks and have a nice day
So essentially it is tactics against tactics and of course what kind of players you have, it was said in the end...it took two years for the other teams to realize what their 3 - 4- 3 tactis was about.
If you have the the bests shots on target and you don't win with this tactic your players are shity players or unlucky, jose wins because of counter attack and because the defenders often (pique) were too high on the field and can't come back
@@pendeegaming4847 when Mourinho was at Barça as Robson's assistant, Robson didn't Play this Style. I remember that team had great players but played really bad. Robson was criticized because of the bad football his team played, but he had the best player of the world at the moment, Ronaldo Nazario, even then Mou and Robson were not able to win the League.
He got his 3 european cups medals as a player. Anything else ( player / manager)? Please don't overemphasize winning the Dutch league as a player before his Euro cup wins, I'm considering them irrelevant. Pep used his tactics? With Messi, Xavi and Iniesta? The clue is in the quality of players. Why doesn't the world follow his tactics? They're hardly 'top secret'.
If they are playing 3 in the front versus your own Cruyff formation, one of two things will happen: the formations essentially mirror one another because they also have 3 at the back and you hopefully are better drilled and score more OR they are playing 4 in the back, meaning they will be overrun in midfield and tire later into the game. The point of Cruyff tactics is that your defensive role is simple (You defend your space) because the players are efficiently spread out, and your offensive threat is large because it encourages attacking the space and involving many moving parts. Very simple. The only reason to play a traditional back 4 is to keep games tight and protect the manager's own job. Playing Cruyff tactics will lead to MANY easy blowout wins but are susceptible to teams "accidentally" countering his tactics by shifting roles mid-game (a fullback going rogue in midfield, attacking players dropping deep and sending support players on runs, etc.) Rarely do managers protecting their own jobs types allow a "lack of positional discipline" or dynamically allow positional adjustment mid-game.
The two center mids will also come back to defense. But if they get countered after a corner or a failed attack, they have more people at back. See, in a formation with 4 at the back the full backs will support the attack. And if they fail, they have 3vs2 or 4vs2 which is a clearly disadvantage. But in 343, 352 or other formations like this you have 3 at the back when counter happens
In 1996 Juventus frustrated a very good Ajax team in the European Cup Final by playing three up front (there are also rumours that Juve had a great deal of pharmaceutical assistance that night too) and then a few weeks later England did the same thing to many of the same Dutch players at Wembley when they played McManaman, Shearer and Sherringham in a Christmas Tree formation during Euro96. After that, Ajax and Holland switched to a four at the back. Three forwards disrupts the organization of a team playing 3-4-3, because the system is predicated on an assumption the other side will only play two up front. That said, the formation does get resurrected occasionally whenever 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 is back in vogue. South Korea oscillated between 4-3-3 and 3-4-3 at the 2002 World Cup for example. The much praised Guardiola also implemented 3-4-3 in his last season at Barcelona although it all went pear shaped on him. The basic rule is that you can play 3-4-3 against two forwards. Don't try it against three.
Barcelona Bayern munich and the rise of the chile team in recent years can lay your doubts to rest, football is very very simple, people using more than 3 at the back don't understand defence at all, all a matter of space
It is a 3-4-3 diamond but if you just say 3-4-3, people think of the formation Chelsea play. Just like if you say 4-4-2, people won't assume 4-4-2 diamond. Best to just use 3-3-1-3 and 4-3-1-2. Don't know why anyone would call it 3-1-2-1-3. Do you guys play Fifa a lot or something?
I say snake oil Total football worked to a degree. Ajax won 3 Euro cups in a row, Holland lost 2 world cup finals in a row. So it was certainly limited and could be beaten. If you had all the best players, your chances would improve. If you had luck on your side in each game, once again, your chances would improve. Cruyff's Barca - what did they win? Guardiola's - who may have followed Cruyff's teachings - had Ronaldinho and Messi, Xavi and Iniesta. Have you not noticed how no-one really bothers copying Cruyff's tactics??? Get the best players in the world and you've got a chance with half the tactical setups you could employ.
Very very limited formation. A 4-3-3/4-2-3-1/3-5-2 would easily capitalize from the lack of width and space in front and behind the defensive line. Cancer Cruyff bmwith another delusional piece of advise. Dutch Wenger in hindsight.
4231? Only people who are too scared to attack use this formation. Its basically one striker and even the wingers come back. This is a bus parking formation, gi watch posession football and stop judging geniuses

Thank you for this. Gracias por esto.
Thanks for the video. Good stuff!
Fantastic
if i become a manager i will use this formation he paved the way for managers to be more brave in player movement.
Wow!
What a smart mind este mente nunca merece morir
Zero dislikes, respect

The wide forwards had to track the opposition fullbacks. You need unselfish players in those roles.

Best system
It works well against 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 but it doesn't cope well with three forwards.
So essentially it is tactics against tactics and of course what kind of players you have, it was said in the end...it took two years for the other teams to realize what their 3 - 4- 3 tactis was about.
Gary Lineker played as a right winger in this system.
ちょっとなに言ってるか分からないけど、４番と６番が大事ってことはよく分かりました。
If Jose watched this he would start attacking more
Jose won the league against a team using similar tactics and managed to score 100+ goals. Attack isn’t always about possession.
If you have the the bests shots on target and you don't win with this tactic your players are shity players or unlucky, jose wins because of counter attack and because the defenders often (pique) were too high on the field and can't come back
jose use that defensive tactic because he saw what this tactic lack since he was assistant coach at barca and prove that every tactic have weaknesses

Amazing tactican but ac milan stuffed them 4 -1 in CL final
If Laudrup played, Barca would've won, but he had a falling out with Cruyff
it was 4-0 - Savicevic ran the show

3 Defenders ia wierd
In those days, most of the other teams played 4-4-2. So it was three against two.
soooo... guardiola just practically copies Cruyff.... but of course
its bad,
Juan Esteban Kruh Sanmguel say that to city nowdays mate ..
He admits it. He doesn't purport to be a tactical genius he's humble in this regard and points to cruyff and bielsa who were his 2 inspirations
guardiola was formed by cruiff , guardiola is the 4 by the way if u didnt realicdei n the video
how if the opponent use 3 at the front? 3 vs 3 at the defence is absolutely too risky, can someone explain it to me?

Nada de novo: apenas estudou muito o futebol brasileiro, exatamente na copa de 1970. Ele próprio revelou isso.
Edson de Barros This is very different. Brasil jogaba 4-2-4 and Cruyff and Holand used to play 3-4-3 or 4-3-3. Both were great.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Still doubt that this formation will work in modern game
it does, bayern and barca have used it to some great sucess
Football Addict Chile used this formation sometimes too!
Pep Guardiola is using this formation with Delph in place of injured Mendy.
It only really worked well against 4-4-2
Barcelona Bayern munich and the rise of the chile team in recent years can lay your doubts to rest, football is very very simple, people using more than 3 at the back don't understand defence at all, all a matter of space
3-3-1-3, not 3-4-3.
its 3-4-3 ( 3deff 4mid 3 attk)
or
3-1-2-1-3
MatriiX 3-4-3 is with wingbacks. And you wouldn't say 4-1-2-1-2, you'd say 4-3-1-2. Ergo, 3-3-1-3.

I call it 3-4-3 narrow diamond
Or 1-2-4-2-1
I say snake oil
Total football worked to a degree. Ajax won 3 Euro cups in a row, Holland lost 2 world cup finals in a row.
