[@tnyamaneko6093]

One of the things I love the most about the whole process towards this textbook goal, is when you don't focus about the ball movement and focus on the players moves, you can see that Ruud Gullit manages to ALWAYS make himself available. Then, at one point, he did identify a terrific mismatch at 0:56 and darted towards it while the man responsible for keeping an eye on him at this unusual wing position did the mistake to not follow him. Then the setup for the goal was complete. I find this to be really interesting because Gullit used to be known more for his skill with the ball and not particularly for this ability to play without the ball, and I find this a proof that this trait in his game was a preponderant part of his game and ability to live anywhere in the midfield. He's not called the Black Tulip for nothing after all...

[@ALISTOSmc]

Very very nice and footballistic comment there!! I'm not sure if a player said this before, I think Croyf did, that a good player knows what to do without the ball in his possession. After all, the clear time a player has the ball in his possession is approximately 5 minutes, what about the rest 85? Total genius..

[@tnyamaneko6093]

@@mpiulg83 This is true, constantly pressing was not a viable defensive tactic back then, and it's more common nowadays because players are way more athletic and able to sustain that kind of effort for the whole duration of a game. Also, you can see that the centre-backs are defending really close to their goals the whole time. The offside trap tactic was not nearly as prevalent back then compared to now. It was considered back then to be less dangerous to defend low and prevent or abate the consequences of anything going deep than risking a one-on-one with the goalkeeper. They were not nearly as comfortable getting away from their line as they are nowadays. All of this high defense and constant pressing, became popular a couple of years later, when Arrigo Sacchi used those tactics successfully on the European stage and influencing a lot of future managers (like Josep Guardiola, playing with Barcelona on the same stage right around that time, in the early 90s').

But at the end of the day all this really came down to was getting a good cross into the box. Possession football is great to watch, but sometimes I think modern teams are trying too hard to walk the ball in to the net or are too scared to just put in a good ball into the box, there is a lot to be said about getting the ball out wide flooding the box and getting the ball into the box, by doing so you at very least give your opponents the chance of making a mistake defensively.

[@24magiccarrot]

+Rodrigo Barriga Gibson I think even the likes of Van Basten would struggle in the modern era teams defend a lot better now, back in the 70s the only time you'd put loads of men behind the ball was if you were protecting a precarious lead late on or you were Italian, now everyone does it. It wouldn't matter what team or player you were from history you would struggle to beat a team like Morocco that put every man in the box like they did against Spain. especially using Tika Taka or total football. The only way to beat teams that play like that is to get loads of crosses with lots of spin on them into the box and force defenders into making mistakes.

Total football is about taking positions of your teammates. If a defender has the ball and he is able to attack, he can go for it. This means a midfielder or even attacker takes the position of the defender. The team is constantly moving, thus difficult to mark and you're making the best of each situation. Tika taka is constantly one touch triangle play, high up pitch pressure, like barca. In this vid, holland's basically using both techniques :)

Maybe one thing about them though - as great as they are, they are a nation of individuals, sometimes stubborn ones. Often they just can't agree on whose idea is best. That can be a disaster for a team sport.

Never won the world cup though did they...

[@MrRhurbarb]

Another shit-eater. Go fuck yourself bitchboy.

[@user-ck9lm6xi1o]

This is smart, precise, and incisive football. You do this in the World Cup, everyone cheers. You do this in FIFA, your opponent calls you trash and a bunch of random slurs.

[@carloscodling5084]

Why holanda dont play like that today?

[@Resenbrink]

+Carlos Codling Because they don't have those players.

[@swapneelkulkarni7230]

Good question. Let us go to the academy level. In the earlier stages (for eg.) let us consider when Dennis bergkamp was in ajax youth. There Johann Cruijff , and all other coaches told players to play however they liked to, play total football, therefore the right back would play as an attacker as well. That was total football. The problem now is if you notice , there was a period in Dutch youth leagues where the focus shifted from the creative stuff to taking penalties. If you notice there was a time around 2008-2011 I guess? Where every youth game had to finish with a penalty shootout Anyways to put it more specific , since the game has become so technical, the coaches try to knock technical and tactical sense into young players, they can't play in any other way, therefore creativity becomes less, a normal youth ajax rb won't play the same as an ajax youth rb in late 1980's . Though the revolution started by Johann cruijff is taking place almost perfectly and ajax still are developing youth right now, like Justin kluivert, de ligt , Kasper dolberg, Andre onana. Spain and other countries adopted total football but the dutch themselves forgot to play their way in a way. Hope I have answered your question.

[@chicks-on-the-loose]

This team had Gullit, Koeman, Rijkaard, Van Basten; world class players who won stuff. Now we have Bas Dost.

[@carloscodling5084]

Swapneel Kulkarni Thank you so much!!

[@24magiccarrot]

One reason Holland or anyone else wont' play like this anymore is it is easily countered by adopting man marking and flooding the midfield with players.

[@vinitarathore7280]

Welcome to another epidose of youtube recommendations!!

[@eduardoconductor]

When you play against such a permissive opponent who doesn't press you at all, it actually becomes quite easy to play the so called "total football".

[@teddypicker8799]

Partly why Liverpool walked the league nobody dares go in their half of the pitch lol

[@eduardoconductor]

@@teddypicker8799 I agree. However, in this case the opponent looks (and acts) as a mere spectator. It's actually kinda sad!

[@PappyMandarine]

Old-school gold.

[@kratorz1]

Who’s here after Ted Lasso?

[@welowee7610]

No, i’m not

[@name8731]

Here's a fun thing to try to understand how good this play is. Look at one players position throughout the video, then look at another's. The overlaps the movement and more made this so good. So annoying they never won a world cup.

[@Jackie-ji2sj]

ALL THAT FARTING ABOUT AND IT ENDS WITH A SIMPLE BALL INTO THE BOX AND NUTTED IN. A LONG WINDED WAY TO SCORE A GOAL.

[@Bedrinonen]

Koeman reminds me a lot of Scholes or Pirlo in that quarterback role, stretching the defence all over then providing the aggressive pass that begins the attack on goal. Lovely play all around though, the Dutch have a long history of producing beautiful football and classy players.

[@ObtuseSam]

The Dutch often manage to fuck things up last minute despite often having the superior team, they haven't got the winning mentality which the Spainish have.

[@user-tz2sq4id6r]

ObtuseSam um Spain had a far superior to that of the Netherlands in 2010. The Netherlands roster lately has actually been quite poor, but they've still managed to perform well at the last two WCs

[@ElNaranjoMuziek]

Not true. The thing is we've always been wanting to win by beautiful and attractive play. That can make you vulnerable against strong opponents. We almost did it in 98. In 2010 we made it to the final and almost won it, but the play was very defensive and destructive. I prefer the attacking total football.

[@samono7726]

ElNaranjoMuziek If Arjen Robben had taken his chances, especially the 2 1v1s he had, Holland would have and even should have ended that game in the first half alone! Chances upon chances went begging. The Spanish defenders were having a nightmare of a game, but the Dutch attackers, especially Robben, were totally shocking in their finishing! And in football you would always pay if you don't take your chances.

[@drunk1kangaroo]

Tbh they never had the players spain had, at least in the last 15 years.

[@alecastle9306]

drunk1kangaroo The main factor was their midfeild Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets. Xavi for me is the best midfeilder and build up player of all time.

[@Carcosahead]

Here after the last episode of Ted Lasso ❤😂😂

[@fatherjim5327]

Football was so slow back in the dayd

[@depalomita336]

If today's rules apply, they would apply at that time. The action died with the goalkeeper grabbing the ball 😂
