Of all the basic principles the rule for the 3rd man is the most importnat one imo..Here is what Xavi Hernandez said in an interview : “The third man is impossible to defend, impossible … I’ll explain what it means. Imagine Piqué wanting to play with me, but I’m marked, I have a marker (defender) on me, a very aggressive guy. Well, it is clear that Piqué can not pass it to me, it is evident. If I move away, I’ll take the marker with me. Then, Messi goes down and becomes the second man. Piqué is the 1st, Messi the 2nd and I the 3rd. I have to be very alert, right?! Piqué, then plays with the 2nd man, Messi, who returns it, and at that moment I’m an option. I’m now free of my marker who has moved to defend closer to the ball. Now I’m totally unmarked and Piqué passes me the ball. If my marker is looking at the ball, cannot see that I’m unmarked and then I appear, I’m the third man. We have already achieved superiority. This is indefensible, it’s the Dutch school, it’s Cruyff. It is an evolution of the Dutch triangles. (…) To look for the third man is, for example, that the central players have the ball and one of them is always open because you always have one player more than opposing strikers. In that case, Puyol has the ball and goes up, up and up until a defender challenges him. If the defender who tries to stop him is my marker, then the third man happens to be me! If it is Iniesta’s marker who moves to challenge Puyol , then Andres is the third man. And so we seek superiority in any area of the field. You make a three against two, you win and you have the third man. We advance positions up the field”
He’s explaining the importance of not only passing in possesion tactics but also dribbling. Once you take on someone successfully or somebody comes to tackle you it removes a man out of the equation so you could play the ball.
Apart from being one of the best players, Johan Cruijff created this in his mind when footballers where just kicking a ball around. That's insane football intelligence. Not only that, he did it in the early 70's and 50 years later managers try to adept and understand this. Absolute genius.
Actually there is a clear line from Cruyff and R.Michels to Hungarian coach G.Sebes and English coach J.Hogan before him. More of an evolution rather than an invention
In this respect, rotation means rotation of players already on the pitch. Like Bernardo playing RB while Stones rushes forward. Or Cancelo playing the second holding role to allow Gundogan to drift up and left.
Is it weird that football related things I searched for on UA-cam suddenly ends up as content of TiFo. This has happened 3 times in now. Literally searched for Positional play a couple of days ago
“positional play is a number of simple ideas which together are extremely difficult to coach and implement correctly…” And I thought I would only ever hear this from my wife...
Laudrup's Swansea were a treat to watch. They played absolutely brilliant football that got the best out of the likes of Dyer, Routledge, Ki, Pablo Hernandez, Chico Flores, Ashley Williams, De Guzman, Shelvey, Britton, Davies and the great Michu. That team was fantastic and deserved the Carling Cup they won that season. I was sad to see their downfall but hope they come back next season.
always like learning about concepts through your videos, one thing i would like to see is a section on how it comes undone/how are teams successfully against it
Thank you for letting me know about this strategy. I will use it in team matches against my friends for sure ! (I don’t mind it being difficult to execute)
Plz tifo can you do a another video on Sergio busquets ,Thomas Muller? Felt like they are too much disrespected and Underappreciated by normal football fans.
When everyone says a player is underrated they stop being underrated. That’s where players like busquets, muller and Fernandinho are at. Everyone’s aware they’re class players just not the flashiest or most electrifying so they don’t get too much attention . I think that’s fine; at the end of the day football is about entertaining paying fans so it makes sense the flashy players get the limelight.
Great video. Please make more content like this on on other tactics and perhaps coaching styles and philosophies! I feel like I'm learning more then usual! Thanks
Can you make a video about Chelsea's transformation under Thomas Tuchel. What has he changed tactically? I noticed he played Kai Havertz as a false nine against Crystal Palace and it worked to perfection
Can you do an analysis of how referees are playing at their own games, interpreting football in ways that are anathema to actual football players. Examples would include, not knowing the difference between a foul and simulation. Not treating simulation as cheating. Seeing robust ball winning aerial challenges as fouls; not seeing that reversing under a jumping player is dangerous play; adding more or less ‘added time’ depending on the club that needs more time, rather than the actual amount and duration of injuries and delays, restarts etc. Please?
That's a phenomenal question!!! I loved all the details, it seems like we speak the same language, i also make a bunch of questions like this, but i never thought about how a game it's viewed from the referee's perspective, how they think (and i think this is specially interesting with football given all it's trickery).
Moving the opposition is the end product of positional play. This is why I think Xavi would become a game changer. His idea is to utilize positional play to give individual players time to think of their next move rather than just pass or cross. Watching Man City now and watching Barcelona in the Xaviesta era it becomes obvious they were the catalysts and Messi was their executioner. Pep taught them magic, they brought us beauty.
I am a coach working with this playing style every single day... The single most important principle in this philosophy is the free man. You want to create superiorities by the help of several subprinciples like zonal structure and the third man to generate an unmarked player, the free man, to progress the ball fairly risk-free up the pitch The reason you see teams with this philosophy retaining the ball for excessive periods of time is cus they are not able to find the free man, thus circulating the ball and patiently looking to create a new superiority and free man
It's crazy how you see this kind of game play out over 90 mins, and how it really exemplifies a game of "trust" in the team itself. You see, especially evident with Pep teams more than others, that players are more passing the ball to *areas* rather than other players. They trust that someone will know to be there when they pass it, and often don't need to look twice before making the pass. And almost without fail, somebody will be in that area, because that's what they have trained. As a team, they become less reactive to the opposition and more proactive about how to get the ball where they want it. It matters less *who* is being marked, and more about *where* the marking is occurring, so the ball can just be clipped into a zone and one of the free men will pick it up inevitably. It's so hard to defend against when the team is fully fluid and properly drilled. Watching Tuchel build Chelsea into this system is great because you can see it take shape, flaws and all. When teammates are not on the same wavelength or not expecting a pass or just too comfortable playing a static role then everything just breaks down and you have to start again, which is why you see the ball recycled endlessly between the CBs and wing-backs without moving forward because everyone else is still learning their movements. I made some comments earlier in the year about how this is actually making a player like Ziyech look a lot worse than they are, because they're picking out these incredible passes but nobody is running onto them so it looks like they just passed to nobody and wasted possession. Same with Gilmour - I think that's why Tuchel is hesitant to use him because his key strength (like Fabregas was) is threading the needle with his passing and vision, but if the forward players are static or haven't got their heads up to rotate into zones, then it's pointless.
Please do a video on the Spanish 3rd division structure this season and how it is being re-organized for 2021-22, i tried to read about it today and had no idea what was going on @tifofootball
I'll try. Spanish football until very recently was structured like this: 1st Division (20 teams), 2nd Division (22 teams), 2nd Division B (4 leagues of 20 teams, semi-professional) and 3rd Division (18 leagues of 20 teams, mostly amateur). Last season all leagues under 2nd Division were not finished due to pandemic and there were no relegations so the spanish football federation used the oportunity to restructure. Starting next season the structure will be like this: 1st Division (20 teams), 2nd Division (22 teams), 1st Division RFEF (2 leagues of 20 teams, semi-pro), 2nd Division RFEF (5 leagues of 18 teams, semi-pro) and 3rd Division RFEF (18 leagues of 18 teams, amateur). The system of promotion and relegation during the current transition season is complex but it could be summarized like this: 4 of the 102 teams in Segunda B (3rd tier) will promote to Segunda División (2nd tier), 36 of the remaining 98 teams in current Segunda B (3rd tier) will play the new Primera RFEF league (3rd tier), joined by the 4 teams relegated from Segunda División 8 (2nd tier). The 62 remaining teams of Segunda B (3rd tier) wil be either relegated to Segunda RFEF (4rth tier) or Tercera RFEF (5th tier). Top teams of the current Tercera División (4th tier) will compete to "promote" to Segunda RFEF (new 4th tier) or "stay" in Tercera RFEF (new 5th tier). I hope this explanation helped.
Sign big money free agents in their prime on massive wages who subsequently fail to reach the same levels before being knocked out of the Champions League early. Done.
I think Ronaldo out is the sensible choice. He's great but he's a liability for defence because he can't get fast enough behind the ball. Also the Champions league loss was partly his fault. That wall was awful.
Has the W-M Formation returned? Please do a video on Man City and Cancelo tactics, everytime Cancelo goes into midfield next to Rodri, City's attack set-up resembles the classic W-M Formation...has Pep perfected it? Has history gone full circle? Only Tifo can let us know! Good video by the way!
Pioli's AC Milan plays similarly. Coupled with a high press and good hold up by Zlatan, they have improve vastly. The only thing holding them back is the countless injuries.
Really love the video guys! Can I ask a question though I was wondering is positional play not almost rigid in a sense in that it requires players distributed across the pitch in a certain way and with a cetain number of players in each zone and laterally as you describe, does this not mean that it will only work with certain formations which enable the creation of the diamonds, triangles and overloads that you mention and maybe is one of the reasons why when Guardiola for example will try a different formation for specific games it never quite works and the movement doesn't tend to look as fluid at least in my opinion (I'm thinking of Man Citys' Champions League Semi against Lyon last year and previously when Guardiola used a 424 against Real Madrid as Bayern manager as examples) ? Apologies for rambling and again I'm not really sure if what I'm saying makes sense, I was just curious while watching and was wondering if anyone who understands tactics and formations better than me could maybe explain. In any case love the video, Tifo always does such amazing videos and I look forward to the next one :)
I regulaly watch your videos and because you ask so nicely i just subscribed to the Channel. You do Great work, Best of luck also After reaching 1milion subscribers 🙃👍
I think for someone who's learning coaching. I would love some match footage and in detail coverage of each topic. Your content is important to us. I wish we had examples to deduct from immediately.
This is exactly how I think football should be played and this is how I think all teams should aim to play like. And to the argument "football would be boring" as the video explains, positional play effects attack and defense, so naturally different teams will have different styles
There is no "best style" for football. All coaches use tactics that fit their teams. If I implement a wrongly fitting style to a team, we would lose every time. If my team is best suited to long diagonal balls, I should play them that way to get the best from them
Problem with Football Manager is the inability to develop tactics in this way. Like sure you can tell your players to roam from position but it's not the same.
Same with PES and FIFA really. I find the sports game that most approaches the nuances of it's real counterpart is NBA 2k. Perhaps due to basketball being simpler to depict than football.

Finally, some videos teach people how having good players is not everything, and you also need to know what to do with them.
This is basically zonal and man-to-man markings being implemented at the same time. Genius.
Moving the opposition is the end product of positional play. This is why I think Xavi would become a game changer. His idea is to utilize positional play to give individual players time to think of their next move rather than just pass or cross. Watching Man City now and watching Barcelona in the Xaviesta era it becomes obvious they were the catalysts and Messi was their executioner. Pep taught them magic, they brought us beauty.

It's crazy how you see this kind of game play out over 90 mins, and how it really exemplifies a game of "trust" in the team itself. You see, especially evident with Pep teams more than others, that players are more passing the ball to *areas* rather than other players. They trust that someone will know to be there when they pass it, and often don't need to look twice before making the pass. And almost without fail, somebody will be in that area, because that's what they have trained. As a team, they become less reactive to the opposition and more proactive about how to get the ball where they want it. It matters less *who* is being marked, and more about *where* the marking is occurring, so the ball can just be clipped into a zone and one of the free men will pick it up inevitably. It's so hard to defend against when the team is fully fluid and properly drilled.
Watching Tuchel build Chelsea into this system is great because you can see it take shape, flaws and all. When teammates are not on the same wavelength or not expecting a pass or just too comfortable playing a static role then everything just breaks down and you have to start again, which is why you see the ball recycled endlessly between the CBs and wing-backs without moving forward because everyone else is still learning their movements.

Problem with Football Manager is the inability to develop tactics in this way. Like sure you can tell your players to roam from position but it's not the same.
Same with PES and FIFA really. I find the sports game that most approaches the nuances of it's real counterpart is NBA 2k. Perhaps due to basketball being simpler to depict than football.
This channel is in love with Pep 😂
Would love to see Laudrup managing at a side in one of the 5 major leagues.
Sound like a very simple system though easy to learn
Football is beautiful above and below the surface.
