- Ever heard of Nándor Hidegkuti? Without the Hungarian centre-forward Jürgen Klopp wouldn’t have a Champions League title. When it comes to tactics, are there ever new ideas or do coaches just reinvent old ones? Have we already seen everything? Have we reached the end of football? Kick Off! reporter Constantin Stüve explains.

Architectural development is over in a sense of its form. All forms that are existed in the nature were tried out in architecture. So yeah in that sense it is over. Now it's recycling of same few forms.
@@robertwill23 So what you're saying is that human architectural development never began because it was ALL always recycled. And therefore we are in agreement that it can't be over. ;)
@@MinamideSporlock Human architectural development? What is that? Forms are exhausted in architecture. There are limited number of forms in nature. Since Ancient Greece and Sumerian civilization throughout Renaissance and Classicism to Art Deco and MInimalism avec Functionalism, we all ended up in postmodern mixage and recycling. In that sense architectural development is over.
@@robertwill23 Human vs Nature. Just repeating what you said.
I don't know about you, but I personally like the 2-1-7 formation. It gives a lot of attacking support and you know what they say, " A good offense is the best defense," or something like that.
That's literally a slight tweak of one of the oldest ones in the books. In the first international game, England played a 1-2-7 according to accounts.
Or just play a 0-0-10
It amazed me seeing a video about history of tactics in football and not hearing about Brazil's contribution to it (my main objective when I clicked on this video... how naive I was)
To be fair ,prime Barca is playing a 2 - 1 - 7 while attacking . Abidal and alves push forward to offer side options . 2 midfielders stay around the box to wait for lose balls. it's just a modern style with mix of stamina and skills

the answer is no...even with the same formations, the coach still has different systems and tactics within that formation...plus, with the rules being modified from time to time, football tactics will never stop improving...
It the end
Improve is not the correct word
@@matheus5230 All this writing and you're wrong at so many levels it's incredible... think better about the idea of 'improving' 'evolving' and so on... I recommend you watching the final of European Cup in 1960. Don't be blind because of the different tactics, the skills and pacing of the game are still to this day unmatched. Football changes has more to do with health care, training methods to adapt players to play much more games, better equipment and better pitches and of course, propaganda, marketing and media. The rest is still the same, that's why it's so popular in the past as it's nowadays. Compare with basketball, specially the NBA. The set of rules was limiting the game regarding skills, how you could or not could handle the ball, what you could do in defense, using your hands, for instance hand-checking... the rules in football only limited players by not using their hands, that's why dribbling was the same in the 30s and 40s as it's today (a couple of moves taken from futsal nowadays, that's all). Defenders in the past were better, not as you're saying, why? because they had to defend one on one. They may look to you as amateurs because they had to cover more pitch and follow one guy which is much more difficult, but in fact that's why they were more intelligent and fundamentally sound. Nowadays, defenders don't have a clue about defending one on one, they make mistakes unthinkable in the past... it's true is difficult defending today because refs don't allow any kind of contact, because football is no more a contact game, but zone defenses make defenders less intelligent, they just have to adjust to what their closer teammate is doing as the coach told them, the lack of initiative in todays players is a main problem... and so on and so on
improving isn't what he's arguing, creating completely new tactics that can't be traced back is his point.
@@matheus5230 tbh... I didn't read any of that but your first sentence alone is wrong.
If your argument is that a) there are no new pieces left to introduce into tactics, and b) tactical development in the future will only consist of picking and choosing out of what's already been there in some form, I have a few reasons for disagreeing:
You mentioned Guardiola's inverted wing-backs. This would be a new element, wouldn't it? And if it isn't, because, after all, they are just regular wing-backs but closer to the middle - then why does a false nine count as a new element, but inverted wing-backs don't?
I will concede that a new role is not the same thing as a new formation in terms of scope, but that bears another question: What are formations? When does something that is nominally listed as 433 still qualify as that? As you've said, it looks almost like a 235 when City are in possession. So changing roles is something that actively changes formation, whether they appear as such on the team sheet or not.
The idea that today's tactics just consist of reassembling old elements relies on a clear distinction between the tactical whole and the individual innovation, and more importantly a clear distinction between old and new. Arguably, Firmino's game is still very different from Hidegkuti's. Is it different enough to coin a new role? What about Thomas Müller's invention of the term Raumdeuter? Does the idea have to catch on to qualify as such? How different does it have to be from what has come before? (You actually brought up a very interesting point when you alluded to future tactical development being shaped by the players' abilities. But of course the way a player develops is shaped by a million factors, including the managers' tactical intent. But that is another discussion, anyway.)
And if we're really talking base components: Was the only real innovation ever made in football tactics the emancipation of the passing game as opposed to a (supposedly vaguely rugby-like) dribbling game? To put it somewhat polemically: "Football teams back in 1900 used to field eleven players, some of which were defenders, some of which were attackers! And today it's just the same! Tactical development only consists of changing the number of defenders, midfielders and attackers nowadays! And telling them to do different things, sometimes!"
If that's not the way to go, because obviously it isn't, then we're just arguing over where to draw the line between what we consider a new invention and just reusing the pieces.To which I say that there is no point in drawing a line at all, unless we're looking for a certain narrative. As has been pointed out by other commenters, the perception that there cannot possibly be a novelty position, or role, or formation, or hypereffective way of puzzling those things together - that perception just means you, personally, cannot think of that new thing right now.
My step brother destroyed me and our friend in FIFA 15 or 16 using a 4-2-2-2 and would overlap his LB and RB.
It was the most bullsh*t formation I had ever played against and he would do it out of 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 and it was so stupid. I swear someone is going to try that shit in real life some day. It threw off so much defending 😂

At the end of the 19th century, there was a consensus among physicist that physics is completely solved and there are only a few black spots left.
Then came Planck and Einstein...
This is a common, but very, very, very wrong misconception. Lord Kelvin, when he said that famous quote, meant that a new breakthrough in physics would come with the solution of the ultraviolet catastrophe, thus, anticipating quantum mechanics. They knew very well what was to come. We tend to forget the fact that the scientists in the past were not stupid, in fact, more intelligent that almost all humans today.

I know.... Holland pressing in 70s is really stupid and different to today's pressing which evolved as counter to tiki taka, Holland pressed a ball with whole team leaving 1 player pressed and others free, which if today was used it would be embarrassing lose like 30-0, today's pressing is man to man, which makes sure every player can't recieve a ball easily and if he recieves i to be tackleded! Like Bayern vs Barca game, Bayern let Ter stegen have a ball while every player was pressed, making Ter Stegen go long almost every time to short front 3!
There is also passive Klopps Liverpool pressing, which only press when opportunity is right!
Before einstein people taught that physics were over and nothing is left to learn
I think u meant physics*
That's just not true. No one in the know thought that. Things like fluid Dynamics were still explored
well I think you made a grave error equating football with science. Football is about solving 1 simple problem with 1 simple solution(winning) while physics isn't about 1 question with 1 solution. Football has 22 players and 1 ball on a standard rectangular field with 2 nets on each end. You can only do so much with fixed constants, you are bound to have finite formations and tactics.
@@ml8018 In 1900 lord Kelvin declaired in a famous speech that "Physics were eventually a clear sky: no obscurity in sight, except for two little clouds".
From those two little clouds were born relativity and quantistics.
not true.
Great video, very thought provoking.
All the base formations have been seen now, 442/433/343/235/W-M/strikerless, etc... but the mechanics to which they morph from one to another within matches, influenced either by individual players qualities or effective coaching, will never stop evolving. Borrowing the chess analogy, all the opening sequences have been discovered, all with strengths & weaknesses (if you know them) exercising control of the board, but the variety of combinations in order to get the checkmate are limitless.
Sheff Utd's overlapping CB's & Atalanta's 352 are great examples of innovation within the framework of established tactical law, in both cases bringing old ideas into a modern football landscape. The overlapping CB's is a twist on the 'libero' capitalizing on Pep's influence of the modern FB playing almost like a DM hybrid, meaning they're more comfortable cutting in to fill vacant central space than they were 15-20 years ago - was only a matter of time before someone thought of it. And Atalanta's tactics are an insane blend of positional play with a direct passing focus predicated on maintaining width, but with the fluidity of 'total football' with a CAM playing like the F9 - so many different ideas coming together at once creating a unique ensemble piece.
This is like the idea there's only six or seven story archetypes in the world. Ground down into it's most basic nuts & bolts that's probably true, but that doesn't change writers coming up with creative twists on those foundations all the time, football's no different when it comes to tactics.

@@maestro3138 thags a wierd take given the video creator doesnt think that
This is absurd... It's so condescending and niallistic to believe that this generation has already reached the "ultimate" level of tactics, when this has been said and disproven time and time again...
Back in Pele's time, the tactics used were based on constant formation shifting, putting as many men as possible in scoring or defensive positions, depending on the moment of the game. During this time, football relied heavily on transitions and "flair" from the intervienients. Moreover, people at the time also believed that the ultimate level of tactics had also been reached, being the best manager the one that could make its team play the largest amount of tactics successfully.
After this, however, tactics have developed a whole lot more! We had the cattenaccio, which was also thought unbeatable at the time; later, it was then fully beaten by ajax's total football, which then mutated into tiki-taka football, which brought the trend of possession football, and blah blah blah... but all of these tactics have come and gone, being forced to either adapt or disappear! I mean, for a period of time, the three-at-the-back formations had gone out of use aside from Italy, but ever since Conte's Chelsea, they seem to be making a come back!
This is not to say that all the previous tactics have all completely gone out of use, but their defining characteristics usually have had to shift in order to adapt to a new way of playing the game. Every time a team reaches the top of the game with an innovative tactic, someone somewhere will devise a tactic capable of beating it, forcing the game to adapt and improve. Naturally, we could eventually run into a stand still where every team plays the same tactic, but as soon as this happens, then everyone will know what their opponent will do, and if you know what your opponent will do, you can improve your strategy in order to win, introducing idiosyncracy into the mix and fostering further developments in the game.
All in all, I think it's unfair and arrogant even to believe that tactics will never evolve past this, or that there will never be another rivalry like ronaldo and messi, or that amazon will forever be the biggest company in the world, because if there is one thing that humankind has taught us throughout history is that, where it is possible to apply strategy, a long-run equilibrium point will unlikely ever be reached, because as conditions shift and technology and thinking process develop, so do our actions, and eventually, so does the world.
sorry for the long post... :)

Disagree. Look to athletics. Do people run faster, jump higher, jump longer or throw things longer? No. Records are seldom to see these days. In high jump they still talk about Sotomayor. His record is 26 years old. Of course there is difference between a physical performance and the mental mind needed for creating a tactic, but I think it has all been done before. The presenter is right. A roof is reached and people will start to repeat what has been done earlier.

I disagree with you. Development of football tactics had been possible because of some major changes in the rules of football (backpass rule,offside rule etc).if there is major change in the rules of the football then new tactics will develop.
Agreed. Even VAR and handball rules change can make it different. With the rules we can create tactics that depends on set piece like free kick, pen, and diving specialist because how easy to get fouled or handball nowadays.
Even one player with unique speciality can change the tactics. Nowadays we know the trend of ball playing goalkeeper and defender, false nine. Who knows maybe in future there will be new roles in the tactics.
Interesting, we also thought about the importance of rule changes. The development of Chapman’s “WM system” in the 30s for example was mainly caused by the change of the offside rule. But apart from that we couldn’t find any rule changes that really influenced the evolution of tactics in later years. Maybe VAR could lead to more aggressive offside traps? Or the possibility for keepers to pass to a teammate inside their own box when taking a goal kick - could that lead to a change of build up play? We are not sure, what do you think?
DW Kick off! Also the new kick off rule that doesn‘t necessarily need two players in the circle opened a whole new style to the game. Now the kick off can go to the defender who plays a long ball onto the wings. On the other hand the other team can use this risky backpass to the centerback and force him into errors. (Shane Long‘s fastest goal against Watford for example)
@@dwkickoff Actually the biggest rule change that created massive change in tactics was the back-pass rule. Since the keepers were not anymore allowed to catch the ball after a back-pass they needed to be better with their feet. Pressing became more common and that event actually forced the teams to play with high defensive in order not to leave to much space between the lines. And this reaction created another one - the other keeper needed to be "a sweeper keeper" and to cover only his penalty box, but even space in front of it. Keepers became part of the game offensively and that changed the game totally. Today keepers with good footballing abilities are better appreciated even than keepers who do have wonderful reflexes in goal. Take Ederson for example. I believe he can play as a midfielder almost everywhere outside the top 5 leagues.
@@dwkickoff Actually, the recent changes on the offside rule meant the end of Arrigo Sacchi´s defensive tactics. It´s kind of weird you didn´t take this into consideration.
Missed out Brazil 1958 to 1970, 4-2-4. England 1966 wingless system.
it similar to wm formation
And guardiola at bayern
Hungary also used 4-2-4 system under their football golden era (1950- 1956); they were the first ones whoes used full field pressing (ok, only for minutes but used), the change of the wing attackers (Czibor and Budai II liked to change their places under the match). Zakarias was the first central half who also used to center back at defending.
About the style: short passes on the field with individual tricks and fast attacks. So not only Hidegkuti's position was the hungarian football revolution. (by the way: Gusztav Sebes headcoach used this position for Hidegkuti because he was "too old" for running all time at the match, so it was not only tactical decision)
One funny thing: brazilian football roots belongs to some immgranted hungarians, so they are far- far relatives.
When the catanaccio was fallen, Netherland used the hungarians offence tactic and style but more faster and with full pressing under the match. It was dominated since the german "totalfootball" appeared.

Great video. I really enjoyed the way you went across football history. Chapeau.
Everyone talking about the first 13 sec but I forgot what they were about 😂
The video is a fun romp through history, which is pretty informative at times. But when it comes to concrete discussion of modern systems it is too superficial.
For example: Liverpool's 4-3-3 with a False 9 and high press is not new at that level, but such is a useless description of Klopp's system. The magic is in how to cover which passing lanes, and when to trigger double tackles to force turnovers. And even then, the magic does always work, so Klopp has to shift tactics.
For example: Mourinho's system is not about avoiding risks or playing defensively. His governing principle is finding the game that makes the other team uncomfortable. Dogged defending is but one tactical path that Jose may choose, but there are other ways he knows how to play. And he decides based on the players he has on hand, and the weaknesses of the opposition.
Yep. The guys who did this "documentary" have 0 knowledge and documentation over football tactics. Philosophy and 4 moments of the game weren't even mentioned and they are fundamental to tactics nowadays.
You should see Sheffield United play with our overlapping center backs
Nice tactic butArsenal were doing that in 2016 when they played a back 3 and Nacho Monreal was basically a lcb/winger
I loved the Trentemoler as the background music.
There has been a quiet revolution for goalies, since more and more goalies are for the most part required to play with feet more, and to distribute the ball for deep build ups. That and a sweeper keeper role that Manuel Neuer is known for. The whole part with the Center backs is old news. Italian clubs for years emphasized having elite backs. Milan with Nesta, Maldini, and later Thiago Silva. Juventus with Cannavaro, Chiellini, Barzaghli, and Bonucci. Inter was almost always anchored with Matterazzi. I’d in fact argue that this rush of transfers for elite defenders is the result of teams realizing the importance of building from the back
German documentary production is a breath of fresh air. There's absolutely no fluff with so much substance.
I'm German and I just thought the opposite. 😅
Marc Tierschge ha ha ha I'm definitely with you here
Marc & Guiness - Germans not getting irony .. very funny
Tobias Hug and why is that funny?
Evolution has always been about minor adjustments to things. But with football, it is always about a balance between attack and defence. The two extremes are 1- parking the bus and 2- all out attack(where even the 'keeper goes forward). Everything else falls in between these two
I'm from future, the new tactical innovation is having 11 outfield players, (essentially, goalkeepers are so good with ball at their feet, they form back three with 2 CBs and full backs being free to move in any direction)
Something that important is, the goalkeeper position is never changed
You know nothing about chess. Alpha zero was finding new games in 7 moves
Yeah I’m sure 1.a4 a5 2. Ra3 Ra6 3. G4 g5 4. Rg3 Rg6 has never even played before in a professional game.
Players talents, motivation, hardwork and teamwork is more important than tactics.

Excellent video. Adapting tactics for each opponent was pioneered by Don Revie and his great Leeds United team of the 1970s. It hinged on Johny Giles, the "Midfield General".
You killed this video mate, in the first 13 seconds.
Marcelo Bielsa is also one of a kind with the 3-3-3-1 formation.
Or rather 3-3-1-3.
Yeah I was waiting for them to talk about that. Was surprised they didn't.
@@Lions4322 Yeah it's 3-3-1-3
A dislike because there was no mention of him. Bielsa is who pep got his inspiration from and even has a tactic named after him
Search for the word "failure" in the dictionary and a picture of Bielsa pops up.
To all of those that don't understand the intro; the intro is a reference to Francis Fukuyama's book "The End of History and the Last Man". In this book Fukuyama states that history is no more because of the end of the cold war. It is a very clever intro that fits this subject very well, it is a shame people don't understand this...
Explain more sir
My God, those might just be the greatest 13 seconds on UA-cam.
"Political history is over" you’ve got some pretty misjudged prediction there
Did you even watch the video?
@@TheGamingAlong yes I did.
As a football fan i'm very excited of that kind of football documentarys. They're interstended and very qualitative👍
Great video. I love stuff like this.
Football change only twice: 1) whit the introduction of the offside, 2) when the goalkeeper could not touch the ball with his hands.
1. No mention of passing goalkeeper (Manuel neuer role)
2. No mention of regista / ball playing defender (Leo bonucci, Sergio ramos, andrea pirlo)
3. Inverted winger ( Cr7, Robben , Lionel Messi, franc ribery)
i can do this all day . And NO - Football still evolving and we r just seeing the best style when everyone hv seen the best system and try to tweak it to work for their team
Its always subjective and easy to say it's all been done before.
BUT KEEP IN MIND: Rules of football will inevitably change, and sometimes unexpectedly, and therefore will need to adapt.
Tactics are more alive than ever. There were ages in which some teams applied refreshing tactics while some just played by the standards. And this has been circulating all the time.
50 years ago they said the same :) boy were they wrong, and so will you
Epitome of selective reporting
"defenders are becoming more expensive"
well yeah, so are goalkeepers, midfielders, and strikers,
no mention of Kepa, Joao Felix, Neymar, Mbappe, etc
Dunce
Especially Joao felix, what kind of stupid will pay 120M for such a shity player??
Very well researched and edited. Great content man keep it up.
you cant reach the end of history wtf lol
Craig yes you can if know one is there to tell history there’s no history
@@amanthatlooklikeabear8791 there will still be history, there just wont be anybody to tell it.
it's a reference to a famous book that came out at the end of the cold war called "the End of History". It was a play on the socialist idea that history progresses inevitably towards socialism. When Socialism collapsed in the late 80s, it looked like the end of history.
I don't think that's what he meant, if you play closer attention I think he meant to say that every principal or concept in this world has already happened and show itself differently variations and forms through the ages. For example many say that the invention of the telephone is revolutionary (which it is) but the concept of communicating long distances without human interaction has been done through through the ages like messenger birds.
It is a reference to the contemporary philosopher Francis Fukuyama. Who basically stated that we were at the “end of history” because Marxist-Leninist governments that fell gave way to neoliberalism. And this was back in the 90’s when Fukuyama predicted that the world would just become liberal and no other political ideologies would take place or develop. Obviously that didn’t happen, but DW just wanted to have a funny philosophy reference.
Something I can imagine is the you only press when the opposition has the bal on their left side, while falling back when their right defender has the ball.
The bedt Ajax in recent years had their attackers constantly switching position.
And how you utilize the 10 could change? Jari Litmanen played on this position as a second striker choosing first post or second post.
Maybe the classic cross can be reinvented? Haven’t seen many wingers with a golden cross in recent years
272 is when the goalie is in the mid 7 and that one team (the 272 team) keeps the ball for that drive down the pitch, it's usually used when a team is up by alot of points
I think we're going to start seeing goalkeepers coming out further and further to make an extra man for retaining possession and building attacks. We're already kind of seeing it now, I think they're going to start coming out further for longer phases.
The only way to go now is to dispose of the traditional round ball and introduce a new, space-aged square one!
There can and will be new tactics but hey, this would be good as a tactical history video
New tactics I am thinking of:
1.Wall marking
2.Conering
3. 2-4-1-1-2 Formation
4.Tight rapid moving possession
5.Aggressive Counter pressing with a Long Passing Ball Playing Defender and a Target Man while parking the bus.
6.Combined Football tactics
Sami Hyypia played 2-3-2-3 at Leverkusen during the 13/14 season before Pep
Position football requires changes for every specific match like Manchester City. Inventing new football tactics occur every time a new player enters the pitch in a system based on position/field football.
Nice and informative review on the old tactics, but in modern times i think you missed one of most important pieces of this puzzle: Carlo Ancelotti
A clear flaw in this argument: chess pieces can only move in a certain way. Football players change and so will tactics.
I really learnt a lot
Creative ball playing goalkeepers will be the next revolution in football.
Ederson at Man City will become the norm.
Isn’t that why they made Manuel Neuer World Goalkeeper of the year 3 years in a row?
Hang on...4 years in a row
That is just Neuer.
@@dwkickoff Neuer is a sweeper keeper, Ederson is a ball player and could easily play in midield.
Sylvester Banini city know they can afford to have a ball playing gk who is susceptible to shots because they know they wont concede too many shots. other teams dont have this luxury and ederson would probably be a disaster elsewhere
Unai Emery at the end of the slideshow of incredible managers saying good ebening
2-3-5 is my favorite on Fifa.
2 defenders who only stay in front of the goal
1 defensive midfielder who provides cover for the defense
2 central midfielders who provide support for attackers or acting as left/right backs
5 forwards consisting of 2 strikers in the front, with a #10 behind them threading the ball to them and 2 wingers
It makes for a very fun and open game and very easy to score goals since you have 5-7 forwards against 2-3 defenders. And you're way more likely to get rebounds.
As for defensively, yes the other time is likely to tear through your midfield but your 2 defenders tend to be more than enough to deal with the 1 striker that most teams play with 1 striker
The best would be to learn to play with only 10 players against 11 so that one player is extra in that system, and if you get a player sent off you wouldn’t be so worried
1793 Sheffield cricket club invented football
2019 Sheffield United introduce Over-lapping centre halves to premier league.
Football will never stop developing.
I'm disappointed there was no mention of the sweeper position, or the "diamond defence" in general that was so hot in the 1990s. My coach insisted on using that system for years, and it mostly sucked.
Sweeper is libero he said it.
Nice vid. I think any tactics has its antidote. Its more important to employ whatever tactic maximize your teams strengths.
Wtf... did you really mentionate the Herrera coffee? That's an urban legend man
I guess I might be first one to pick this mistake as there is no iPhone 9😊😊😊
A big point is that players skills and abilities are getting better with the time, so probably with better players in the future, those players will be able to more functions in the game, putting more space for changes in tatitcs
I remember 15-20 years ago, almost every team played 4-4-2. Even the shirt numbers are so synchronized to the formation. A lot has tactically changed since then.
Anyway, its an informative video with a thought provoking title.
What? Lol. Just because a tactic has certain aspects of another tactic that was done before, does not mean it was not a new invention. ticki tacka was certainly not total football, just like klopps total gegenpressing is not just hungary tactics from the 60s ^^. its like saying oh my gosh they have 11 players, just like us. man same tactic here. -.- just look on things like goalkeeping. teams use goalkeepers as a 11th field player sometimes. and by that i do not mean just neuer. but for example hamburg was using Pollersbeck as a goalie coming as far upfront as the central defenders, so they were going more wide, giving hamburg 3 deep backpass options 1 in central and 2 in halfcenter positions almost connection to the wings but still close enough to close in the center for the goalie to fall back. this meant pollersbeck had the job of a deep play maker like a nr.6 dropping behind the lines. what did that do? create an overload in central midfield for hamburg since they were attacking pollersbeck, but therefore leaving the central midfielders of hamburg unmarked and with a lot of space. we had all kinds of new things. teams without any strikers. teams with no wingers going for halfcenter positioning. overlapping centerbacks. well who knows what comes next? maybe triple wings? one defender, one midfielder and one striker overloading on the side? i dunno its possible and it was never seen as regular team tactic. maybe someone gets the idea to innovate the libero position again but this time deciding to have ONLY him as fullback and the rest of the team is either striker or midfield and because of that they are playing with 3 defensive 6s as midfielders instead of defenders. like that maybe they can create immense power in their midfield. the hell all of that may or may not happen. the possibilities are endless
There is always room for improvement
Very apt analysis
You didn't mention the tactic system developed by Carlos Salvador Bilardo which won the 1986 World Cup. The 3 -5 - 2 it was an innovation from the 4 -3 -3 and another correction I should make is that Arrigo Sachi was not the 1st one to implement the Off Side defensive tactic as a system. this was practiced way before by Netherlands at 1974 and also Argentina at 1978 World Cup. Anyway Thank you for sharing all this knowledge !!!
