It's a great point, although before Cruyff there was Michels and before Michels there was Vic Buckingham, who managed a fantastic WBA side in the 50s. He's the man who inspired Michels.

Cruyff was about a thousand times more influential on modern-day football than this video would indicate. Mentioning Guardiola and not Cruyff when even he would admit he learned it all from the legend is criminal ngl. Worth doing a video on him as he has been the most influential figure on the game of football itself, and for many a top 5 player of all time.

the meta right now is headed towards more of a hybrid strategy. It is no longer enough to specialize in one style like Citys possession or Liverpools press. Manchester United and Arsenal are both now doing extremely well because they show versatility and make great adjustments mid game. They can play counters and transitional play against teams like City, possession and control against lower end teams, press man to man or through zone control, and defend efficiently with 10-11 men where its demanded.

Get the ball to Cruyff. Get the ball to Romario. Get the ball to Shearer. This used to be a very simple tactic in putting your best player up front and getting him the ball. Then watch as he makes magic happen to put it in the back of the net. It's a standard tactic that still works. Sports can be simplified sometimes like that. "Just give the ball to Michael Jordan and get out the way". The problem is, for some bizarre reason, magic strikers are becoming less and less prevalent. There's only the odd lewndowski here or harry Kane there. Haalands the new guy to get the ball to. But back when I was a kid every team seemed to have 2 really good strikers. Now every league only seems to have 4 or 5 really good strikers. Why players like Haaland have become so rare is beyond me?

@@NeilLewis77 Players like those (THE number 9) don't fit a lot of todays tactics, even Guardiola is kinda struggling with Halland, why? because those players (not all of them but a lot of them) are not really known for their ball control or the ability to do hold up play or to do possession base stuff and they can get tired faster than other more smaller players, even more recent ones are like this, for example Halland is not really that good at that, Lukaku has not a great first touch, Vlahovic neither, Inzaghi (record holders for most champions league goals from an Italian layer) people said that he couldn't even juggle the ball in training. Those simple tactics "get the ball to him" are outdated and are not going to come back in my opinion, unless you have someone like Messi or some sort of modern winger that does similar things (he doesn't need to be as trong as Messi of course) those are the game changers "give the ball to them" in todays game Coaches/managers have to find a way to have the number 9 back in the modern tactics, but still not use them as simplistictly as it was years ago, i think that Conte and Ancelotti's styles are a good base to buold off of. (and Spaletti might be the one to make the change once again for modern football, since he used the false 9 at Roma with Totti before Pep used it with Messi at Barca). Nowdays the meta is more about holding the ball or being super aggressive in regaining control of the ball as fast as possible, and those 2 things don't really suit big tall strong number 9, of course the number 9 is always going to be used, and maybe someday the meta is going to change again and those type of players are going to be much more common once again in the top teams. By the way, Spletti's Napoli has a pretty good number 9 in Oshimen, i am sure you are probably (sadly) going to see him in the Prem next year....but then again, i wonder if he is going to be able to play in that system or not, Lukaku failed, and Halland is not failing, but City is not doing as good as last year or the year before, partially because of him, and also because of Pep inability to change his game/tactics a little bit more around Halland.

I recommend the book "Inverting the Pyramid - A history of Football Tactics" by Jonathan Wilson. It deals with all the developments from around 1800 until ca. 2010 in a concise manner, is easy to read with many illustrations and offers lots of anecdotes and side-stories around the beautiful game.

Key misses in that video include: Cruyffs dream team in the early 90s after Sacchis Milan team, Wenger's influence on English football from his success with a technically brilliant team and styles, Conte's modern style using a back 3 or 5 depending on whether in attack or defence which would force many teams to match up basically completely changing their own styles and finally the current age where teams like Arsenal and Man Utd are realising to be flexible in their tactics and be more transitional with players in the team flowing around the pitch rather than rigidly sticking to shape.

Johann Cryuff definitely belongs into Football History. He's actually responsible for FC Barcelona being so successful even into current days. Also Arsene Wengers one Touch Football was unique back to Arsenal London's very successful period.

Yes you definitely understood, the fullbacks are a pretty big part of counter attack or just attacking in general, in this era fullbacks are basically wingers who are often underrated but not unexpected now, if a team have super young fullbacks they are super dangerous and can do a lot of damage to other teams.

Two wide centre backs with a central defender acting as a stopper, paired with very attacking wing backs, is proving useful at Bolton. The run they had at the end of the previous two seasons, when new players clicked into place, was astonishing. (Their central defender was a non-league player before they bought him...)

They, the Dutch of the 1970s (with Johan Cruyff). and Brazil of the 1980 (with the likes of Socrates), were the three greatest teams that revolutionized football, and dominated it, but never won a World Cup.

I think there is less tactical focus on ‘positions in a formation’ and more focus on ‘roles within a system’. And a formation is just a way to visually represent its basic layout. Compare Klopp’s 433 to Pep’s at City; the ‘roles’ of the fullbacks, the two outside central midfielders, and the whole front three are vastly different to each other, while they still play the same ‘position’.

01:15 Exactly! You should be proud of your significant development in football knowledge and skill just in 2 months!

2:25 That is an old Offside rule its slightly different today. Offside = The team that is attacking(has the ball). A player on the attacking team cannot receive a pass if they beyond the last defender (Closest to the Goal line from corner flag to corner flag ...NOT specifically the Goal) when the pass is played (kicked). The pass CAN be played, but if the player is Offside they cannot touch the ball or impede the defenders from reaching the ball , until another player touches the ball (Onside if an Attacker , or any of the defending team). Very simply you can be level with the last defender, when the ball is played, but if any part of your body that can legally play the ball (chest, shoulders, legs, knees, feet) is beyond the last defender you are offside.

ohy eah im going to enjoy this one

If you are interested, I recommend watching the entire English-Hungarian match from 1953. The recording was renovated a few years ago and the goals were colored afterwards. It's very interesting how they used to play. The Hungarian team is one of the best team of all time, but unfortunately this is their only match that has survived in its entirety

Napoli and Arsenal may be the most exciting teams to watch for football tactics this season.

Great video! It's hard to say what the Meta will look like because so many teams are becoming successful using various different tactics. Pep's Tikki Takka is still one of the best though he has modified it to suit the Prem League. Arteta's own modified version which overloads the attack by turning 4-2-3-1 into 2-2-1-5 or 2-3-1-4 depending on whether White attacks or stays back with Zinchenko going into the mid. Tuchel with the back 5 creating solidity in defense, width, a strong overload in attack, all hinged on the tireless patrols of a defensive mid like Kante- he was able to beat Tikki Takka. There have been many iterations to existing formations in the last few years and I think the process if evolution hasn't reached a stage where its clear which approach is gonna dominate this decade. Having wached Tuchel and Conte stall with back 5 thought I can only guess that back 4 based formations will be the successful ones.

Loving your progression and new found understanding of the game. I don't know if it is because you are already a sports coach, so pick up on tactics and strategies fairly quickly, but I am very impressed! We here grow up with it, I can't imagine trying to pick it all up later in life. I often think of it like this; I don't remember learning to speak, it's just natural. Football is the same for us, all my 6 kids (3 boys, 3 girls) were all kicking a football before they could walk ( me holding their hands so they could stand) it was the same for me and my 3 brothers. My youngest (2 year old girl) is constantly running around the house and garden kicking her ball around, you could take all her toys away as long as you leave her a football she will be as happy as can be. This often leads to a situation where we can do it but struggle to explain or teach it because it's something we just picked up at such an early age, we don't remember learning how to manipulate a football we just do it naturally. Sorry for the life story just wanted to explain why you learning it all now is so impressive to me, it must be like learning a new language later in life. Also without sounding cheesy (a bit late for that) you are looking good and much healthier, well done, I tip my hat to you sir. Congrats on your rapid progress so far and keep up the good work, on and off the screen and with or without the ball 👏

4:50 Small fun fact trivia: The name of the "WM formation" is always a little confusing for German-speaking football fans. Remember, today nobody uses this formation anymore, so nobody is accustumed to it. WM is the abbreviation of Welt-Meisterschaft, which would be WC for World Cup in English. Even I as a German football fan had a couple of years until I realized that the "WM formation" has nothing to do with a Weltmeisterschaft. I always thought it was some footballing tactic used during the World Cup, until I realized the WM is just based on how it looks like on the field. 5:20 Hungary in the 1950s is considered to be the best national team in football history never to win a World Cup. They had a couple of years without a loss, and when they beat England 6-3 it was an uproar. The next day even international newspapers (not sports newspapers but actual common newspapers) had one or two pages to write about this game. It was the first time the English national team lost a home game against a continental team. What most people seem to forget, a couple of months later the English went to Hungary for a rematch. Until then the English thought the 3-6 loss was just an abnormal incident. They lost the rematch 1-7. In 1954 Hungary was the biggest power in world football, reaching the World Cup final against no-name team Germany, and was 2-0 in the lead after only 8 minutes. Hungary lost 2-3 and Germany achieved the biggest upset in a World Cup final in history. In Germany, this game is today known as the "Wunder von Bern" (Miracle of Berne) and most German fans have tears in their eyes when they see snippits of that game. Hungary's national team however was destroyed soon after, many players left Hungary as they were scared of consequences by the Communist Party for them losing the WC final. Today, Hungary has no chance whatsoever to compete in world class football anymore. 6:30 The scene you're seeing is probably the most iconic World Cup final moment in history. After England got beaten up by the Hungarians in the 1950s they became a much stronger side in world football, embracing continental football tactics and accepting that England isn't the pinnacle of the football world anymore. In 1966 England reached the WC final for the very first time against Germany. The score was 2-2 after regulation time and in extra time the legendary Wembley goal happened. It wasn't a goal, the ball never crossed the goalline, but the Soviet linesman gave it anyways and so it was 3-2. England eventually won 4-2 and became champions for the first and only time. Later the linesman claimed that he "saw the net flutter" and that's why he assumed the ball didn't hit the crossbar but the net. There is speculation that the linesman wanted the English to win as the German beat the Soviets in the semifinals, but that might be true or not. Many studies analyzed every footage available on this scene and indeed ascertain it wasn't a goal. Ironically, England never won a World Cup again (making the only World Cup they won a result of a goal that never happened), and even more ironically Germany got its revenge decades later, when in the round of 16 of the 2010 World Cup England scored a similar but regular goal but the linesman thought the ball was NOT behind the line. It should have been the 2-2 equalizer for England but the score stood at 2-1 for Germany, and Germany eventually won 4-1. Media claimed that to be the "reverse Wembley goal" or the "revenge for 1966". 12:15 This footage is from the 1999 Champions League final, one of the greatest moments in sports. Manchester United faced Bayern München, with Bayern leading 1-0 only minutes into the game. In the three minutes of injury time however, Manchester scored two goals to beat Bayern 2-1. I think you're seeing the second of those goals, but I'm not sure. Anyways, the Bayern were not able to react, the referee had to convince them to play the last minute of the game as the players couldn't realize they just lost a final they thought they won. The trophy itself was already being decorated with Bayern colours. Most Germans really like remembering this game, as Bayern München is probably by far the most unpopular football club in the country (only rivaled by Red Bull Leipzig).

Hey Luke, Love your, videos I would like it if you react to futsal. It's like soccer but planed in a basketball like court

Yep, fullbacks are an essencial part of attacking because they provide you width that otherwise would be difficult to attain. Defenders need to go press these wide players and usually that opens space either in front of the goal, or on the other side. The big thing is, you need good defensive midfielders, when the fullbacks go up the pitch to attack, your back side lines become exposed, which can lead to dangerous counter attacks in case any player lose the ball suddenly, so the defensive midfielders usually cover the space behind the fullbacks. There are exceptions of course, but that's a basic setup.

You have to react to Real Madrid Legendary Counter Attacks. This produced the highest scoring team in a league and 100 points for the only time in the Spanish league. And also won 5 champions leagues in the last 9 years.

If you are taking recommendations, I highly suggest the video essay "Arsenal: From Boring to Invincibles" by balon. The channel as a whole is amazing.

Just a curious thing I think you might enjoy, the META more than clubs, is usually dictated by the world cup, everytime a team wins, the shift goes to how that team played and variations of it or how to counter that style of play aka anti-meta. For example due to Spain winning a 3 peat in 2008-2012, football developed a more cautious and patient style of football to deal with Spain and Barcelona, but after 2018 when France won with their more controlling and defensive style, football switched to high press football that forces errors like they do. Argentina are world champions employing tactics of defensive solidity but more than anything, incredibly agile midfield that focuses on high speed counter attacks, so it will be interesting to see if football adopts that style or finds a way to counter it

You’re exactly right with your assessment of full backs, nowadays all the players are so fit it’s gross lol but traditionally full backs were your fittest players due to the sheer mileage they run up and down the pitch both defending and attacking

Defensive midfielder is my favorite position but might be the most difficult to play. You have to cover a lot of ground. In defense you have to tackle a lot which means a lot of physical contact, you have to cover the wide of the midfield running from side to side and back into your box to help the center backs. You need good vision to understand the opponent's tactics, predict the movement of the ball and the players so you can be where you are most needed to tackle, cover the back of every teammate or intercept a pass. Good positioning may make the difference between running 10kms or 13kms in a game. Once gained possesion old defensive midfielders would just give it to the closest teammate and wait for the next time they need them to tackle someone but today that is not enough. The offense begins with you. Today you have to understand the situation, meaning where u are, where your teammates are, where the opponents are and which opportunities you have the moment you get the ball. You should decide and be able to find an open creative midfielder with a short pass, find an open winger with a long pass, press forward between the lines, shoot, or kick it back for a safer play. And never ever miss a pass (at least not a short one) nor let anyone take the ball from you, your position in the middle of the field is too important to afford a bad pass or you losing possesion.

Here are managerial names who have impacted football: Brian Clough: for his ability to seek players with apparent defects that led to some of the best football in England in the 1970s. He led Derby to the 1st Division and won the league. He would then go onto to lead Nottingham to the 1st Division title and back to back European Cups in 79 and 80. On his style of football: "If God had wanted us to play football in the clouds, he'd have put grass up there." When he would gain a new player who had fallen from grace and ask them if it was drinking, gambling or women that was their issue. Knowing what their issue was and finding ways to ensure it didn't interfere with the football. Don Revie: led Leeds United to winning 1st Division titles in the late 60s and early 70s. Invented the Revie line, an earlier semblance of the offside trap. He would write dossiers of the opposition, which is now standard practise as part of opposition scouting these days. Bobby Robson: Managed some of the greatest team in football and Newcastle. His influence would impact future managers such as Guardiola and Jose Mourinho. Both worked under him in some form. His Ipswich Town team would win the FA Cup and EUFA Cup, despite being little old Ipswich. Herbert Chapman: Winning the 1st Division with Both Arsenal and Huddersfield Town, numerous times. He was the one who solidified the W-M formation. Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley: both at different times immortalised Liverpool for a very long time as the best team in England. When Liverpool fell into a distant number 2, then 3 and 4 in the 1990s and 2000s, the number of 1st Division wins was still unmatched by any other team. Matt Busby: The manager that would (on paper) set Man United up for the long term as being the club for decades. Winning the 1st Division 5 times was an amazing achievement, especially as most of squad sadly died in a tragic plane crash.

Jock Stein was the manager of Celtic who changed the game by beating Inter Milan. All Celtic players born within 5 miles of stadium. Except 1 (30-40 miles) never been repeated

I advice you to watch a game from the stadium. Your tatics vision will blow up. It is totally different form watch a game from tv. =]

Traditional fullbacks were basically shorter centre-backs, typically faster than the strong and tall Centre-back. In the modern game they are closer to a traditional wing than centre-back. The role of a traditional wing was to create unbalance with speed, dribbles and crosses. A modern wing is expected to deliver the same, but also more goals and is basically considered wide strikers.

a variation on total football aka "pure football" every play can and will play every position they are all big , agile , fast , strong , athletic and skilled. absolute fluidity with an almost psychic connection between players. playing a 343 , 442 , 433 , and all other formations at will based on a 2323ww. true professionals like scholar athletes who tack back with the same effort as sprinting forward. keeping the ball and playing long are no longer options but you play what is open. think harlem globe trotters of football.

Luke, that isn't what META stands for. The guy just made that up to sound cool. Meta: Meta (from the Greek μετά, meta, meaning "after" or "beyond") is a prefix meaning "more comprehensive" or "transcending".[1] In modern nomenclature, meta- can also serve as a prefix meaning self-referential, as a field of study or endeavor (metatheory: theory about a theory; metamathematics: mathematical theories about mathematics; meta-axiomatics or meta-axiomaticity: axioms about axiomatic systems; metahumor: joking about the ways humor is expressed; etc.). In other words, 'Meta' always means in modern parlance, the 'theory of the theory', or the tactics of choosing tactics, etc..

Meta does is not an acronym for most effective tactic available. It just means meta meaning the larger or longer used tactic. The overlaying tactic trend. Sry pet peeve.

Wait the word Metagame actually comes from the rpg’s and in ancient greek meta means “beyond” So meta-playing means game beyond the game, game outside the game and it’s referred for players ignoring the interpretational part of rpg in order to have advantages in the game

Not a bad intro video to review but the most important understanding of 'tactics' in football is a little less structured, lot more ineffective, completely spontaneous and quite probably more counterproductive than anyone ever likes to admit! Oldest cliche in football is 'tactics went straight out the window'! Just because a team 'lines up' when they kick off is often irrelevent and quite often changes almost immediately... sometimes deliberately, other games, not so much! It will be forced on you by faster, bigger, better players... even unexpected team unity/morale issues can and do effect your precious tactics! Tactics can more often than not be irrelevent and worse still... destructive! They are often a double-edged sword! A good manager should let players play where/how they like and yet not always of course! Where the players feel most comfortable is an important learning aspect of coaching youngsters and will often dictate your team & game tactics as you rotate players positions/areas and roles during the earlier learning years! We can even see this irrelevence of 'tactics' at the highest levels of the game too though... a team like Morrocco in the World Cup was a good example of a 'big team' going a long way... Greece being the best example winning the Euros in 2004! Their 'tactics' were simply any that worked for them, game by game... astonishing team/physical performance that Rehhagel's 1860's based tactics of big, hard, fast and defensively adept simply 'ground down' their opposition! Tactics... wot tactics? Was it good to watch... unfortunately not... but conversely, the Italian teams always were... especially from a defenders perspective! Then... having said all that. The US were completely mugged by Van Gaal's tactics last year... so that clearly happens regularly too! Tactics can and do win games... but mostly character and team unity/dedication is a far more important factor for me! Doesn't matter what level you play, the experience of being in a competitive football team 'week in, week out' for even a few seasons is very clearly far more influential on success when compared to tactics! Make sure you try 'up front' too though Luke... whenever the opportunity arises play every position you can! As your fitness improves so will your speed... just because you played defence in American football shouldn't restrict you from dreaming of being a goal scorer in 'proper' football! 😉 Crack on geezer!

The video tries to explain a lot of things in a shorts time, they got the tactics really fast.

FRANK LAMPARD!

@@youtpfpm6097 yeah right thx

Barca this year are defensively the best in Europe. Only conceded 7 goals 20 matches.

Day 6 of asking for an Ngolo Kante reaction

Chelsea conceded less than half a goal a game that season

watch a channel called coaches voice. it has different coaches explaining their tactics

Door bomb? Not way of the knife.

That's video it's great but, the spanish teams dominate europe last 30 years....

Whats the original video? Would love to watch it without you yapping through it the entire time

Please react to Real Madrid.

Mourinho's era lead to more direct football which was Tiki-taka? Would anyone call tiki taka direct? Spain played in that era that style but lacking a striker sometimes wouldn't have any shots on goal. Honestly, "meta" as a term is only useful in the most recent modern era, in the globalized game where everyone can watch football from anywhere in the world and does. For a long time, only the World Cup saw a clash of tactics from across the world--the "meta". Otherwise, this history is focused only on European play, and certain leagues, which while it's completely dominant now, has not always been the case and is all narrow way of talking about "meta". World club cups, for another example, were often won by South American teams because the offside trap was dominant in Europe, but vulnerable to short fast passes or dribblers which were the "meta" in South America. There's a meta now, but to talk about all football history without diving into regions more is reductive. Deepend maybe, but Jonathan Wilson is kind of the man to hear talk about the "meta": kzread.info/dash/bejne/o5-gyql6c6Sxg5M.html

No offense but this video in the 90s-00s takes a massive premier centric turn, it feels like the person is a new fan. This was literally the lowest point tactically in England and SAF was renowned for being one of the few good managers in the PL at the time, and a good manager on the extra-activities, man management ccalibrating horribly volatile personalities, club management, and not specifically a tactical innovator. Most compliments coming from that angle (tactics) were precisely that he was very good at copying others' tactics specially Continental European. The 442 of English football was a mocking point coming from foreign and non foreign fans because horribly outdated, TV programs were made even within England specifically to mock horrible plays that happened in the english league. Numerous articles were written about how disastrous English tactics were. It's not even a disputable fact, the consensus at the time was enormously on the side of the PL being much behind on football science to the point of having an enormous cultural industry behind. And this person obviously had to clumsily fill it within the gaps and telling stories about Ferguson and Wenger (the only tactically good manager in the prem at the time) whilst keeping vague because he obviously didn't have material to work with. It feels like they're a relatively newish fan and has only heard of the PL and has tunnel visioned himself into fitting in that frame.

Ajax is not an American team!

i think the most underrated thing in football right now is, do accept that the Meta is not only evolving around itself - but in the players you have. As Guardiola was a little overhyped in my opinion - because i believe that many modern coaches can't adapt and evolve the meta.... many of them just say thats the meta and buy the best players available for this meta... a good coach otherwise, in my eyes, sees what the players he has can do and evolves a good tactic fitting to the meta towards the players.... i think an area is made in the combination of a coach having new ideas with players fitting into that system... also why many people speak of its easy to coach a high-end team, because the players just perfectly fit into the system they play and do not need much coaching therefor - as those players define the system they are in... thats why many coaches - especially Guadiola is a great example for this - don't have the success they are hoped for in other teams... yes, nationally its a success, because he has the best players of that league there, but internationally it often is the problem that those coaches want the best players for their idea of soccer and though all the teams want the same players and costs are exploding - instead of creating new ideas for the players they have. Thats what i say is a bad coach, despite all success - just wanting the club to buy the best players for the existing META. And thats why hight rated coaches often tend to take players with them, because their tactics rely on that players, and if they have other players in a new team, coaches often tend to not be able to stick to their success. Its a controversy about for example Guardiolas time in Munich here. Yes he got 3 national titles, but he didn't succeed internationally. The club wanted a good coach, the coach just wanted better and most expensive players. And even then the coach just wanted to dominate the season instead of (like most athletes do) giving them time to recover to be fittest in the most relevant part of the season... - we know excelent athletes don't go for worlds 2 weeks before olympics, because it hinders their chances, but Guardiola teams in my eyes tend to sprint the whole season at their best just to can't pull their best at knockout stages in spring. Though they win their national contest by 20-30 points, but never win champions league. Instead of holding back in league and just win it by points to be at your best in knockout stages. But thats just my opinion - of course you need luck to win a turnrey, but i still think the success of Barca that made him "the greatest coach alive" was more about the players Barca had back in the time than the coach. Is he a good coach, i mean you don't win 10 national titles in 12 years if you are not... still i think there would have been plenty others to win that titles given the same amount of money and players at that time... but he has the prestige, and prestige gives you resources and trust - of players and teams, and both of it you need to succeed - so he is good enough... But its allways hard to discuss and decide if - for example Manu wins because of Guardiola or because of lets say for example de Bruyne, Gündogyn, Ederson, Walker and Stones despite having him as coach... though i still believe him being a good coach, this culmination of success towards the coach i personally don't see... thats why i would call it overhyped... as comparison lets take new england patriots... allways meaning Bellichick is the maker of the team - then the Brady leaving and seeing "all" was done by the player... and the influence of the coach means not so much without his key players... so my point of discussion is: is there a meta defined by itself or the coaches? or are just the best players the META? If the 5 best players of the world are defenders, you have a catenaccio meta, if the 5 best players of the world are tricksters you have a trickster meta, if the 5 best players of the world big you have a flank and header meta... thats what i would think...

Okay two things... no one actually calls it "meta". That feels like a LoL caster talking about a game he or she just learnt. And talking about Mourinho (more than once lmao) before JOHAN FUCKING CRUYFF?? I recommend you read a book and learn some actual football before you start saying something like Guardiola is overrated.

since blood slides are no longer alowed in football it becomes kind of boring ^^

It was only serie A in the 90's mmmmm, Man U was only successful in premier league. Milan and Juve were the power houses, but we all know Juve can't win finals lol.
