      Just my 2 cents...
      C has K sound (like in Cat, Coop or Cut) and has a S sound when behind E or I (like Cigar or Certificate), if you need an S sound behind those other vowels you need a Ç (that's a C with cedilla) to "force" the S sound. It works the same in romanic or germanic languages, except romanic has cedillas...

    That Barcelona team (2009-11) is the greatest team in the history of football! They won 14 titles in Pep Guardiola reign! Yes you've heard that right. Including a "sextuple", Messi also won 4 Ballon Dors in a row (09-12). Spain also won 2 Euros and a World Cup in that time frame because Spain's 7 out of 11 players were all Barcelona. They were magical ✨

      AC Milan from 1987 to 1994 was the best team in history, according to the history of football. Won three champions league, (2 in a row 1989-90), and played 5 champion's league finals, 3 in a row, and a total of 17 trophies in 6 seasons.
      It had a stronger defense than Barcellona, and the two forward, Gullit and Van Basten, had more scoring solutions, being tall and phisically strong, other than technical.
      The trinagle philosophy, introduuced by Ajax, was perfected by Arrico Sacchi, who Guardiola was a fan of.

      As a fan of AC Milan - they did it better and for longer. More trophies, more years of dominance. Milan kept some of those 1994 players (Maldini for example), coach philosophy (Sacchi then Ancelotti) and carried it until 2007 when they won UCL for the last time (2003 as well). So, you can make the argument that their influence and dominance really stretched for a long time. Barca was magical because of the beauty of their football but it was also a high risk, high reward style that got countered. I like that 2011-2012 Barca team but at some point, tiki-taka was dismantled and Real dominated UCL since.

    The term tiki taka is more like a fan made slang. The real philosophy here, developed by Pep Guardiola, is called Positional Play. And Positional Play itself is spin-off of Total Football, developed by Rinus Michels in the 70s. Cruyf was Michel's pupil, who brought the philosophy to FC Barcelona.

    For Tiki Taka you need extremly high quality players in your team and Barcelona has extremly talented players if not the best players in every position in the world during Peps era.
    Thats why you dont see teams using it as much anymore, they simply dont have the quality required in every position.
    Also Barcelonas academy La Masia trains this system since childhood and alot of the players in this team came from La Masia.
    Xavi and Iniesta were even better passers than Messi with the other team members not far behind. Even the defenders were excellent passers.
    Xavi and Iniesta was so good together they pretty much shared one brain. You could say individually they were 1 player, but combined they were 3 players.
    They never lost posession and often had 100% pass completion.
    Alves, one of the best defenders ever (who is now in jail) a Brazilian right wing defender was Messis partner on the rightwing and linked up beautifully with tiki taka passes.
    Busquetes defined the DM role and was the best in his position during his time.
    Puyol, the best central defender in the world during this time mentored Pique into becoming the second best central defender during this time.
    Pedro came from La Masia and was often better than even Messi as a Right Wing, unfortunally he got injured and never became the same player.
    Villa was brought in from Valencia and melded straight in and dominated the left wing position.
    Then they brought in quality older players like Thierry Henry and Henrik Larsson that could come in and be just as good as first team players.
    You couldnt really stop tiki taka as much as hinder it, and the only tactic was pretty much putting 10 players inside the penalty box to defend and rely on counters, which was often called anti-football becouse it was such a boring tactic.
    If done correctly, there is no real way to defend against tiki taka.
    Any team that tried to attack against Barcelona got slaughtered.
    It was not uncommon for Barcelona to have over 90% posession in games.
    One phiolopophy about tiki taka is that even how fast you run you cant run faster than the ball, so you make the ball do the work for you making the oponents wear themselves out chasing the ball.
    Thats why they often singled out the oponents best player like Ronaldo to pass around so they could wear him out.
    The Messi Neymar Suarez era was not the same. They relied heavily on those 3 players and it didnt really make for fun to watch football.
    It worked for one season where they won everything, but when clubs figured out that was the only tactic Barcelona used they just put all defence on those 3 players and the team collapsed.
    The coaches and presidents that took over after and Guardiola and Laporta lived in the dellusional belief that the team during Peps era that was now old and decling and not motivated anymore would just keep on winning and they didnt renew the squad and was caught with their pants down several years later.
    They put the La Masia academy that had put out alot of talents in shambles limiting their budget.
    They removed Johan Cruyff, who had built the Barcelona philopophy from his honorary board seating and shut him out of the club.
    They bought players for 100s of millions of € each, players that didnt fit in at all, and was later sold for a fraction of the price or loaned out.
    For us fans its very dissheartening to see the shambles Barcelona are in today with massive debts from poor management and beeing unable to bring in players they need and have to rely on free old players way past their expiration date.

      I think you are wrong a bit. First, I would say that tiki-taka is not a tactic. It's just the outcome of Barcelona's play style. In my understanding, tiki-taka means just a possession for possession and nothing else. The main strategy for Barca at that time, was to overload one part of the field and create the space in another. And the reason why it's not used today is that it's not necessary. There were created a lot of defensive strategies, so now tiki-taka doesn't pull the attention of every defender. Also, a lot of Pressing tactics appeared. Now, I would say that football became faster in the possession stage. Teams are still using the overload to create a space, they just skip that sterile ball handling and just pass it.
      That's what Guardiola said about tiki-taka:
      “I loathe all that passing for the sake of it, all that tiki-taka. It's so much rubbish and has no purpose,” Guardiola complained to journalist Marti Perarnau in 2014. “You have to pass the ball with a clear intention, with the aim of making it into the opposition's goal. It's not about passing for the sake of it.”
      Guardiola, who also claimed that “Barca didn’t do tiki-taka! It’s completely made up!”, felt that the tactic he had been credited with inventing had become a caricature of itself: keeping the ball for the sake of it.
      But the way Barca controlled the ball was magnificent, no doubt about it.

      Well i kinda see it in more than just the passing.
      The high pressing was just as important, something the team stoped doing during Guardiolas last year becouse he struggled getting the players motivated.
      And it got progressivly worse with the coaches after that.
      Players got to much power and dictated how the team should play more than the coaches, and unmotivated players doesnt want to run.
      Thats a big reason new fresh players should have been brought in much sooner.
      The games where noone ran even Guardiolas Barcelona struggled, mostly against team that parked the bus like Chelsea.

    7:20 I’m a barcelona fan and this is a big part of the philosophy of the club itself. We put heavy emphasis on the academy. The core of that barca team filled with messi, xavi, iniesta, busquets, etc. were La Masía(Barca’s academy) graduates. When you emphasize your academy paired with a clear idea of football, you save money because you don’t have to go and buy the biggest names and they come out with how to play the “barça way”

    Tiki taka is almost like the philosophy of bullfighting applied to football.
    Try to dazzle, confuse, and tire out the opponent.
    Where in bullfighting the matador uses the cape to entice the bull to attack then sweep it out the way and dodge the charge, tiki taka they use the ball to entice players to charge only to then pass it immediately somewhere else.
    The opponent often left constantly spinning trying to keep up with where the ball is. As they take a step to one player the ball is gone.
    Then once the opponent is mentally and physically exhausted you can go in for the kill with minimal resistance

    Actually, the reason the Spanish national side used the tiki-taka style was because FC Barcelona players were the core of the national squad as well. Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets were the midfield for both teams (Barça and Spain), and they were aided by other Barça players on the national squad like David Villa and Pedro (forwards) and Carles Puyol and Gerard Piqué (both defenders). So basically, the Spanish national team that won the Word Cup and two straight Euro championships was Barça plus a few players from Madrid and other teams, who usually didn't participate in the tiki-taka because they weren't used to playing that style in their regular teams and had trouble adapting to it.

    I loved this video and I have a few things to add.
    First, when fútbol fans speak about formations we take the goalkeeper for granted, we say 4-3-3 or 4-4-2, but in modern fútbol we should notice the importance of a goalie that plays with his feet and/or has very good long passing. A goalie like that deserves that the formations get the 1 back at the beginning. The best example of a goalkeeper that does that (sorry for being culer) is Marc André Ter Stegen.
    I don't know if you already have a video on goalkeepers but there's a whole world within that position.
    Also, in the beginning of this video you say that tiki-taka is not exclusive of Barcelona, and it's true that the spanish national team won 3 thropies in a row playing this style. But the truth is that the style developed through generations in Barcelona (Cruyff in the 90's, Rijkaard and Guardiola after him, and it still goes on nowadays with Xavi) and from that Barcelona team from 2008 to 2012 came the spanish national team. Guardiola was the first coach in modern times to build a first class starting eleven exclusively with players formed in Barça's academy "La Masía", most of them where spanish so they were 70% of spain's starting 11 too. And the other 30% were the goalkeeper, a defender and David Villa, who signed for Barcelona after winning the World Cup.
    So, yes, the "tiki-taka" term wasn't created by Andrés Montes narrating a Barcelona game, but that style in those years was created by Guardiola and Barcelona's players at that time, not by the spanish coach or the national team per se.
    I could go on commenting about fútbol but it's getting late and younger people don't like reading long raps...
    Thanks for your passion, keep it up. Love!

    I love the fact that you guys are actually trying to understand the game, specially Luke seems really into it.
    I'm from Barcelona and I'm a Barcelona fan but I kind of not like the term 'tiki-taka' because it's romanticized and many times understood as a concept of dancing around, passing the ball without any clear purpose, but in fact they are moving the opposition around so they break their defensive structure and so when this happens they find an empty space someone can attack and therefore try and score a goal.
    What happens with the tiki-taka is that many teams nowadays (specially in La liga, the spanish league) whenever they play against Barcelona which still happens to play this newer possession game ( that's what I like it to be called, not 'tiki-taka') is they just sit back and wait for them to come to them, because what used to happen back in the golden era of Barcelona is that teams used to try and steal the ball from the Barça players so then's where they would just tear them apart by quickly passing the ball and breaking their defensive structure. These teams sit back with their defensive structure well formed and this is when this philosophy struggles the most because it's so hard to find these empty spaces when literally the whole 10 opposition players are almost inside their own box. This is when the players quality is most needed.
    Keep the great work up, no doubt I will keep on following you guys!!

    One of the greatest joys of watching football for me used to be seeing the diagonal ball undoing defences to either Messi or Ronaldinho with Eto in central forward role. Tiki Taka came slightly later than this point in time but that was the start of Barca having that level of playing that the world envied. Tiki Taka that came a few years later became their swag move, seen not with arrogance, but with pure confidence of the players of that caliber

    For me, American Football is tactically a great game. Like a big game of chess, but with a ball.
    I've watched the NFL many times over the last few decades and I do enjoy it (though I still call it "rugby with armour"), but with constant commercial breaks and so much down-time (ie. a 1 hour game that takes around 3-4 hours), it's a hard-sell to some viewers, especially if they're used to fluid, fast-paced games.
    Thankfully, here in the UK, when you guys cut to commercials, we cut to the studio, where pundits, ex-players, etc, break down the game and the plays for us. :)

    Its a great "reaction dynamic" when you have 'an expert' vs. 'newcomer' at least for me, because that way the important things are explained and we get to see his reaction of learning this new stuff on the spot.. Often in reaction videos you just get the usual "pls let me know in the chat" and if its a brand new subject people are just bewildered/overloaded and you're left sort of unfulfilled reaction-wise because people dont really know what they just watched.. This was great stuff.. I could litterally take this video and show to anyone and they'll get it..

    20:39 The counterattack not only depends on the offense's position, but in the shape of the team that just lost the ball. I found that this past men's world cup showed (for me) a shift from possession game to focus on counterattack. Teams like Japan who barely possessed the ball went farther than Germany who are perennial favorites.

    About the false 9: In football, the 9 is the striker. Traditionally it has always been a tough, tall, strong and not so technical guy that has to fight 1 to 1 with the center backs (they usually are also tough, tall and strong) and his only purpose is to take the ball at the end of any attack and score. The false 9 puts a small, talented but not so physical guy to play in that place, and what it tries to do is to be faster than the 2 center backs and get the ball, not to shoot to goal, but to distribute to someone that will take advantage of the space he made the center backs to leave by trying to catch him. It is a way to outplay physically strong teams that would lock themselves in the defense.
    It is not a really good tactic in its own, it is more a reaction when you know that your opponent has really good center backs and your center forward is not strong enough to challenge them. That was used a lot by Spain with Fabregas and more recently Ferran Torres in situations where they didn't have a strong Striker. Also by Germany with Müller after not finding really good strikers to play in the national team.

  • @celeschan90

    It's cool to see moment when it clicks for Corey here. For example how this tactic is well suited for pressing, since you'll often have multiple players nearby when you lose the ball.
    By the way, many of these Barca players did in fact play together since they were children in the youth academy. Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Pique, Pedro, etc.

  • @joules_sw
    @joules_sw ปีที่แล้ว +1

    A 9 is an area striker, he has to be strong at pivoting and good heading aswell as perfect finish. Haaland is a perfect example of a classical 9, Benzemá and Kane are multifuncional, modern 9. A 10 Is the one that distributes the short passes to the attackers on the sides or the 9, the 10 Is generally the player with the best dribble, pass and shot. A false 9 shows traits of 9 and 10, he follows the 9 on a radius to make sure that if he can pivot the ball and bring it down, the false 9 or the 10 are gonna run to get control of the ball, but a 10 generally stays a bit behind and has a different positional play to engage the midfield, the sides and the front, the false 9 has more positional freedom to follow the 9 and assist or to get the pass from the 9 and Score. False 9 are generally strong, technical and fast. 10 needs a better understanding of the game, greater vision and long pass. False 9 requires fast dribbles, opening spaces, Serving as third man and other functions but always piercing through the middle unlike wingers. Also a 10 Is not a player that stays too far away behind, he goes close to the oponents area unlike a defensive midfielder or a midfielder

  • @JR-em3mo
    @JR-em3mo ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It's interesting to hear the discussion through the philosophy and tactics. As a Serie A fan, I must say that there are times when possession works against you. Especially when teams deliberately give up possession on purpose in order to hard counter. Playing from the back also lures out a defending team from being set in a low block into a higher press which is easier to attack because players move in transition.
    With Pep, he has the best players in his system so he has the tools to overstep some tactics.
    Check out DeZerbi at Brighton.

  • @souvikbhattacharya5221
    @souvikbhattacharya5221 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The reason why they boot the ball back is so that the players can get back to their position. When attacking, the players are very fluid. You see Dani Alves 90 meters away from his defensive position while attacking as just an example. The opposition then need to run up the pitch to press the backline, which gives time to the players to get back. Which also opens up spaces in between the opposition players, which then the retreating players can occupy and provide passing options. Also, if the opposition don't press, the backline would just hold the ball and wait for everyone to occupy their positions and then rinse and repeat.

    The way it was beat by Chelsea in the Champions League semifinal in 2012 was to sit back and let them pass themselves to death at their final 3rd... just waiting, defending hard... and then countering as fast as possible whenever they got possession.
    After 2012 tiki taka fell in disuse more and more.

  • @el_tininho
    @el_tininho ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The difficulty with the full press is that the whole frontline needs to press at the same time with the same intensity, any small difference and it’s broken. One person a second behind and it’s enough to thread a pass to the midfield and your front line is out of the game. Building from the back gives you more space to work with, which means that your opposition has more space to cover which makes them tired. Space + Possession forces your opponent to make mistakes because they get frustrated and agitated

  • @michaelnoller9063
    @michaelnoller9063 ปีที่แล้ว

    A traditional 9 is the main forward up front through the middle who scores goals and occupies the backline defenders. He normally stays the furthest up front and stretches the defence running beyond. Also he holds the ball up so the rest of the team can join him and move up the pitch. False nine starts in the same position as a traditional nine but then leaves that space and drops into midfield. This either leaves gaps in the backline if a defender follows the false nine or allows an overload in midfield which allows dominance of possession. The tricky thing is the false nine needs great technique and intelligence to pull off the move. Not everyone can play it. Firmino at Liverpool also did it well.

    A false 9 is a mix between a 9 and a 10.
    A 9 is a striker ( Lewandowski, haaland…etc). A 10 is a playmaker (ozil, Zidane,…etc)
    So a false 9 is a striker who moves like a 10 sometimes by being able to create but also finish actions.
    He’s supposed to go deep in the pitch to help midfielders to keep possession and by doing so, he drag the defenders sometimes with him, opening a space behind where wingers can sprint into.
    So the false 9 in that case has to have the technical ability to find those hard through balls behind the defenses and also need to sprint to offer a solution to finish.
    So a false 9 need to be smart to understand when to stay high and when to go deep in the field. He needs to have technical abilities to find hard pass. But need to also be a really good finisher…it’s a very specific type.
    Messi is the ultimate false 9. But player like Eden hazard can also be one..because they can create plays and can finish really well.
    It’s hard to defend because you don’t know if you follow him everywhere and leave a big space behind you or you stay and let him time to create somme magical pieces…
    But it’s on midfielders now to step up and to be disciplines about it

  • @sambrown8301

    Luke just thought id explain the numbers and positions to you.
    1 Goalkeeper: But this changes all the time doesnt really stick
    2 and 3 Right and Left back: Also known as full backs and wing backs but again doesnt really stick for example alexander arnold is 66
    4 and 5 centre backs: also known as centre halves
    6 defensive midfielder/ holding midfielder
    7 right winger
    8 centre midfielder/ box to box midfielder
    9 striker: false nine just means a striker who plays deeper which allows him to open up space for his teammates
    10 Centre attacking midfielder
    11 left winger
    Again like you probs know most players dont actually wear these numbers on their shirt but its just a way of naming positions. So when you hear a fan say our team needs a 6 then you know they mean a defensive mid
    Great to see that you are learning alot id recommend you react to some of James Lawrence Allcotts videos he normally does weekly roundups and breakdowns of what happens in the prem so you get tactics aswell as the overall feelings in the club

    Tiki-taka remains a highly effective strategy, it requires a considerable level of skill to execute flawlessly. If we overlook the technical aspect, what remains is Jurgen Klopp's gegenpressing. Yet, when you merge flawless technique with gegenpressing, you essentially recreate the essence of tiki-taka. For false 9, think advanced playmaker that start as striker but with free role.

    To beat it many ideas popped up. Which combined annilated the tactic.

    - low defensive block + central posture (let them come to us, lead them to the sides, numerical advantage in the middle)

    Tiki Taka only works if you have good players in good physical conditions that know how to play with each others.

    The classic numbers 1-11 were basically designed for the original 2-3-5 position which was used by very early clubs (back in 1900s). The roster would look something like:
    7 - - - 9 - - - 11
    8 - - - 10
    4 - - 5 - - 6
    2 - - - 3
    1
    Over time, 2 and 3 spread out to become full-backs or wing-backs. 4 and 5 moved into central defense, 6 usually by defensive midfielders. 8 is now used to define box-to-box midfielders (players who will often be going up and down the field to assist with both attack and defense), 7 and 11 became associated with wingers, 9 became associated with the centre forward position, and 10 is for your playmaker/attacking, creative midfielder. 1, of course, has been reserved for goalkeepers.

    An additional facet of the false nine is that if the defenders recognize it and opt to stay back and maintain the defensive line, the false nine can act as a 10 (an attacking midfielder) and simply drift wherever the space is because they’re unmarked.

  • @Machinationstudio
    @Machinationstudio ปีที่แล้ว

    The common numbered players are No.1 (goalkeeper) No.6 (defensive midfielder, there may be 2 players, also usually known as a single or double pivot) No.8 (left or right attacking midfielder, 8s can play the 10 role, but are usually biased to one side of the pitch) No.10 (central attacking midfielder/offensive playmaker) and No.9 (striker or centre forward), and less commonly No.7 (winger) and No.2 (central defender). This is from a time when players didn't have their own shirt numbers and the team just had shirts with 1 to 11, where players wore different numbers in each match (up to about 1980s).
    To understand the False 9, you might want to understand the True 9. Strikers or Centre Forwards (sometimes there are two of them in a 4-4-2) will seek to occupy the attention of the Central Defenders. And traditionally (True 9) seek to run behind them for through balls, long balls or crosses, so they can be in a one on one situation with the goalkeeper. This is usually referred to as a striker that sits on the shoulders of the defenders (ready to run past them when they lose concentration), or a box striker (who stays in the penalty box). They have to be comfortable playing with their backs to goal (their whole team is behind them) and turn the defenders and burst through. All while having physical battles with the most physically strong players of the opposition team, the central defenders or defensive midfielders.
    The False 9 moves towards the midfield (to create the midfield box or diamond). This leaves the Central Defenders with a dilemma, do I follow him, thus opening up more space between my current position and the goalkeeper, or do I let him go, leading to an extra man in midfield. If the midfield is overrun, the defence will be next. Teams with talented wingers have an incentive to use a False 9 to open up space for them to occupy, while overloading the midfield.
    Complete Forwards are those that can drop into midfield and facilitate the forward transition, as well as move into the box ready to be at the end of that same attack move while the ball is in the half space or by line.

    hi guys, im from Argentina and love futbol since my mum s woomb XD
    fascinating chat!
    i could add some things:
    - numbers dont matter anymore, but since the old days theres a standard in the positions and the numbers (wont get in details) but nowadays youll see like the number 32 is in the field , so wtf right? i dosnt matter... what matters is the position
    - all press is really hard to acomplish, actually nobody does that cause players run 90 minutes, dont forget that, is not american football, theres no pause in futbol, and only 10 min in half time
    the players pressing in the opponent field are the same players that do the tiki taka or move all the time to find spaces, pay attention to playeres when they dont have the ball (Di Maria is speciallist in this thing), they move around to confuse defence and open spaces to other players in that hole where the defendor should be
    - tiki taka IS tedious, but for the opposite team! you having the ball and passing it around is fun as hell, and also youll see the other team confused as fuck and tired of running around doind the ring around the roses, the moment they get frustrated (and they will EVERYTIME) youll se the defendors not running in the triangle, but just standind waiting for the pass (mostly just holding the off side rule), and theres is the over-the-head pass or a pass behind their backs (Messi is amazing passing this ones) or a pass a little longer for the attackers
    - false 9 is a very old tactic (not even from this century), the player in the box, but steping out of it waiting to CREATE, not necessarily in the box waiting to strike to goal (like Suarez, Ibrahimovic, Muller, Salah, etc). the 4-3-3 becomes a 4-4-2 with those 2 players in the offense closing in to the box to get closer to the other to pass the ball and open some spaces (C. Ronaldo is in these 2, he is not like Messi in possitioning... or SKILL XDXDXD)
    Other amazing false 9: Wayne Rooney , Carlos Tevez, Van Persie, James Rodriguez
