My father has told me quite a bit about this total football that the Dutch played back then. About the national team and Ajax. I enjoy watching the Dutch rushing like crazy for the ball. Amazing play.. for it's time though. Football has evolved so much since then. It's a lot faster, a lot more technical. Seeing the pressure the Dutch apply, I noticed many chances to counter it. By today's standards, they would've been torn apart. I'm baffled by the lack of support their opponents get by teammates when on the ball. That being said, it's not a knock on the way football was played then, nor on the players. It's just the way it was. I'm just very used to today's way of playing football, but I still appreciate those great generations that have come before.

Football evolved and every era has it’s heroes. One thing i know is that Johan Cruijff changed football more than any other player. As a player and as a coach. The way Barca played tiki taka under Guardiola was all because he learned it from Cruijff. Maradona and Pele both incredible players, but only as players. They didn’t helped the sport evolve like Cruijff did. And that makes a very big difference.

[@igotjams1]

This is not Total Footbal. The Total Footbal philosophy refers to the players adopting different roles throughout the game. They are not confined to playing a certain position, rather they organically flow into different positions when defending or going forward. I saw this first hand at the Dallas Cup in 1997 when U19 Ajax with John O'Brien destroyed my brother's team in the Super Group. The Ajax players were constantly floating into various positions: Defender pushes forward and stays up top, midfielder drops back as cover with the forward replacing the midfielder. This went on and on the whole game. The only one staying put was the keeper. The crowd was totally mesmerized. So much passing, so much movement. Nobody was cheering, just watching a truly beautiful game. I wish teams still played this way, but with the game being so technical now and players solely perfecting their one position, that Total Footbal era is sadly long gone.

You may have heard the phrase 'total football' mentioned at some point. This is what that is. It was a concept created by Rinus Michels, the coach of this Dutch side and Ajax, where many of these players came from. Michels had borrowed the phrase from Joseph Goebbels' speech about 'total war.' Total football means that the whole team is involved in getting the ball, all the time, and then going forward, all the time. They almost won. Now, everybody tries to play like that, but Michels and Cruijff invented it.

The 1974 World Cup was a watershed when overall football replaced individual technical football. It ended the Brazilian football dynasty. From the Dutch defeat of Brazil 2-0, the Netherlands officially introduced a concept to the international football world. Football must cooperate as a whole to attack and defend. Both. Brazil, which prides itself on its personal skills, was knocked down by almighty football in 1974, and the football legend officially came to an end. Although it took them 28 years to adapt to both offensive and defensive football, it was not until 2002 that they could win the World Cup again. Football tactics are changing with each passing day. If you don’t advance, you will retreat. But almighty football is indeed a major breakthrough in the history of football tactics. It is a pity that the Netherlands met the host country in the World Cup finals twice at that time. It was really God’s will ⚽️

Defensively it resembles a lot to Gegenpress, the only difference is the very fluid player positioning on the pitch, all of them are like we are all marking, we are pushing for the ball. The players are literally attacking the carrier of the ball completely limiting his passing options and so the transition after winning a ball could come from any player. It limits the vision of the ball carrier at certain times, 5-6 players are limiting the space of the potential ball movement. It's genius

[@bryan-cv2ew]

@@dreadalex yes but its highly organized. the presses are designed to stop build up play. You never see 5 players commit on a single player simultaneously today. back when this sort of rushing nonsense was played, there wasn’t really the threat of ball playing CBs and midfielders that could pin point pass to athletic one of kinds, in under a second. the average players were bad, and the great players were all generally goalscorers, not centerbacks or midfielders

[@dreadalex]

@@bryan-cv2ew Well I think this sort of pressing actually creates this total football, their transition when winning the ball makes their positioning fluidly based and not structural. If you see for instance Guardiola's variation or Klop, the players are always moving in their areas in defence and holding their positions on the pitch. This here if the ball moves to the right the players from the left side are closing in the available passing spaces, from the right side the same and the players who are playing in the center are moving slightly left, or slightly right but what is impressive is the transition when winning the ball every player can run forward with the ball and I think that fluid positional structure of Michels is based on the way the team presses the ball holder on the pitch and the transition phase when winning the ball. In their build up play the players are holding their positions of course winning some meters and having again more freedom, the center backs are actually involved in the attack and taking positions for a cross while Cruyff Neskens are more lurking outside to win again the ball or take a shot from outside of the area, it's very fascinating the way they move on the pitch.

Isnt this how they do it today? 40 years ahead of time id say.

amazing video

Any idea which actual game this was? im very interested in the whole recording.

Imagine the commentary of these game

Kkk. Que pelada era essa, parecia futebol de criança todo mundo onde a bola tava, bastava inverter o jogo e já era

Pity you weren't there to advise all those world cup coaches who faced Holland! I can imagine your arrogant pompous tone while explaining: "Here hold my beer, let me tell you how to play...."

[@m4rc0yt97]

I imagine Maradona humiliating the clockwork orange as well as against England in 1986 :-)

[@zyxwut321]

The main reason this worked as often as it did was because the passing, spacing and movement wasn't at modern elite standards. It relied on making teams bunch and panic. While occasionally effective today when used in a targeted manner, it's easily passed over if the opposition holds their line.

[@gamma9141]

Say that to the Liverpool CL winning team couple of seasons back lol

[@nikolatesla7983]

In fact it was because the off side rule at the time did not contained a passive player - if a player was further the last defensive player, it was an off side - it didin't matter he was or not particulary on the play itself, the ref call it and the play stopped. So, lots of off sides. When the rule changed , it was much more difficult to call an off side and invalid the play cause someone coming from behind the lines could attack the ball, with the play were kept on going, even with 5 players on off side position since they were not on ball's directed position

[@allanchamorrogutierrez7227]

This tactics it's pretty use today even.

[@MM-fw3jg]

This is like Galatasaray in 2017 , when we had technical director Igor TUDOR

[@kajamix]

The midfielders had it easy those days so this surprise tactic worked. They could n't do that nowadays.

Así se jugaba en el colegio, todos corriendo detrás de la pelota.

[@miguelaprendizaje.2918]

No pero esto era pressing asfixiante y despues los contrarios no la podian recuperar. Esta pensado. Rinus michels era un genio. Lo eligieron el mejor dt de europa de todos los tiempos.

@@miguelaprendizaje.2918 Sí. Y encima se ve espectacular, algo así como una estrategia de los Supercampeones. Ojalá el fútbol real volviese a ser así de creativo. Imaginate a diez tipos de anaranjado cayéndole a Messi en el partido anterior.

[@pablogartner6436]

Esteticamente parece eso, se necesita un estado fisico superior para realizar esa tarea de pressing.

[@AndrewSowerby]

This is obviously revolutionary stuff, but it's also naive compared to modern high pressing / gegenpressing and wouldn't work well today. They took the whole world by surprise with this at the time though. It helped to get them to two World Cup finals and they probably should have won at least one of them.

[@truthoverfalsehood__8757]

This would even work today , probably even better than back then.

[@AndrewSowerby]

@@truthoverfalsehood__8757 they would have to adapt their pressing game to take into account that a) if you tackle like that you will lose 3 players to red cards every game and b) modern teams are used to high counterpressing and can play the ball over the top of the press, or in behind, thus countering the counter press ;) Of course, they were all incredible players, so they would be able to adapt, but I doubt it would still look anything like what we see in these clips.

[@truthoverfalsehood__8757]

@@AndrewSowerby With todays players and training schedule this pressing would even be more effective. Your concerns are valid , however we have very endurant and fast full backs today that could recover passes above the line quit well , also the more you sychnronise the pressing the more the oppnent falls into offside we saw that barcelona did this very well. High pressing today is noone near this , pressing is mathematicaly speaking a exponential function the more players apply more pressure the much more the likleyhood of the opponent loosing the ball becomes , if 2 or 3 players press thats not even half the effect than if 4 players press , if 4 or 5 players press thats not even half as effective as if 6 players press. I guarantee you if any team would ultra press like the netherlands with some minor tweeks but with the same or more agressivness and commitment and risk then that would absolutley be very very effective.

[@thomas3t]

This is modern football in overdrive. Press a man to get him to make a mistake, so it won't matter that you leave another player open.

Any team in the top 3 divisions of any European league would absolutely destroy them in 2022. Amazing how poor the tactics, quality, and use of space was by the opposition. Football really has come very far.

Ah...the days of any one player offside...ur all offside, thank god it has been refined

[@brazfernandes5762]

I believe that Tite's tactic was similar and failed miserably in the 2022 world cup. Today teams play in lines without the offensiveness observed in the 1976 cup, so the tactic used by Tite has been outdated.

[@playwaterpolo]

Notice the average time between getting knocked down and getting back into play is like 5 seconds max. Now players roll and act.
