The game of football can be divided, split, and broken down into many elements. But as a team, there are certain passages of play you will always encounter.
In this video, we will explain the 10 categories of phases of play; In-possession, out of possession, transitions, and set-pieces.
Explained by Eric Laurie. Illustrated by Philippe Fenner.

#FootballExplained - Sport
Cant wait for the next episode: What is life
I can answer that.
Pain, struggle, brief fleeting moments of happiness followed by long stretches of mind numbing mundanity and constant financial doping by oil clubs
Football. 5s video.
Surely before that it will be What is Love
@@OlieWoli baby don’t hurt me
@@Svalbaz Alex Stewart, its you! Hope you're good mate
Next episode: What sport do Manchester United actually play
fair question
Fake football
business management
Possibly some sort of vehicle sport? After all ole is at the wheel
Fredball
Ole telling his coaching staff: WRITE THAT DOWN! WRITE THAT DOWN!!
I refuse to believe Ole shouts at anyone, about anything
@@mm5so24 consider it his excitement
@@mm5so24 Same, hes more of a silent 'Thats fantastik!1' person
😂
@@liamhemmings9039 I don't think Woodward would let him have a CZcams premium account 😂😂
Not sure if this is the most complicated way of explaining a simple game, or the simplest way of explaining a complicated game… Either way, it’s fascinating. Top work
could be both per The Phantom Tollbooth
this is not the simplest way, football is more complicated
It's the basic way to explaining the basics?
'Playing football is very simple, but playing simple football is the hardest thing there is.' Johan Cruyff.
The simplest way of explaining a complicated game which is seen as simple I think lol
Good idea this, not everybody who enjoys watching football necessarily knows the formalities of it
Yes, this has given me a bit more understanding of the actual game on the pitch.
did you accidentally run to Windsor again?
Nah most of us just yell at the TV, cursing the players we dislike and cheering the players we like (for basic, arbitrary reasons).
Ole: "Oh, this is fantastic." *Adds to favourites.
Ole-" Carricky carricky, look at this video, I don't understand anything, but it seems important"
*fantastikk*
What international break does to a man
Good, I was very confused on football after watching multiple games of Man United
Man city literally trained for 10 minutes to prepare cause United have no identity
😅😅
@@Illuso07 nah dude, City trained full 90+ minutes... At Old Trafford.
@@Illuso07 Not the actual reason but ok make up narratives to get likes sure.
Sure add man united's name for no reason just to get likes and comments. Hated adored but never ignored. You trolls are funny
Tifo football at 3 am hits different
If it’s 3am for you right now then you’re in the middle of the Atlantic
@@evansokolson9221 he can be in Azores that are in the middle of the Atlantic
Same comment on every video. Original
Football has changed so much, on one hand it’s a science but can completely be derailed by a moment of genius or a simple mistake. And you don’t have to understand any of this to be a lifetime fan
And where did this quasi-philosophy come from?
Exactly. I see it as a game of strategy, similar to chess or even war. Two sides each with their own tactics, strategies and start talent. With so many variables at play who’s going to come on top?
Understanding the game in-depth makes watching it 100x times better and fun
I love how he said set pieces can often be overlooked and he proceeds with his statement😂
You took the words out of my keyboard 😅
Just made a comment about it 😂😂😂
I'd love to see more videos explaining these basic terms and concepts in more depth. I'm new to soccer, and have been watching a lot of this channel and Tifo IRL in an effort to piece together an understanding of the "tactics" and "systems" that the pundits are always talking about.
Cool! I hope you succeed at that, it's a beautiful game. But the first step is actually to stop calling it "soccer", and start calling it football
Hi mate, read Allen Wade principles of team play, 1998. It is a very well respected book that explores the foundations on which a team is constructed. It is perfect for beginners, allowing you to do get to grips with the basic principles of football and providing a springboard to learn more intricate concepts.
@@adahobbs6479 Thanks for the tip, that sounds like exactly what I'm looking for.
@@adahobbs6479 great book.
Actually playing the game will help you understand it more than anything.
This is actually what i have been asking myself after watching barcelona this season.
The Video we never thought we needed ❤️
Tifo- u can now get a 30 day trial to experience a football work on the athletic for free.
Just in time for a new football manager game. Lovely
PSG be like: "SEND THEM ALL AHEAD!! THEY CAN'T STOP ALL OF US!!"
Finally, Tifo is making sense of this thing we keep watching every week
Like a lot of Americans I didn’t grow up playing the sport and have only started following it later in life. I’ve picked up a lot of stuff for watching games but this video was very informative for someone like myself.
I like to watch so many Americans watch 'soccer' now. It's like a kid learning about a new toy and dunno what to do with it quite yet.
This video is the most coaching Harry maguire has ever received in his block head
This is a great video I've used it twice now to help get people into soccer. Once with a 61 year old man and the other with elementary school kids. Both thought it was super cool and now have developed an interest in following this great game. Thank you for all the great content!
Aaah this is beautiful. Love this hierarchical way of watching football. So helpful, wish you could turn it into a series, explaining more details in this simple format and language for Each phase. That would be wonderful. Thank you.
Great video! All fans should understand and enjoy the tactical aspect of the games, before making unconstructive comments about a particular manager or player
True
this comment deserves better exposure!
It does
Thank god Tifo have finally made a video on how football works, I’ve been watching them for years with no idea what a football is
Love love love this video. Please do an indepth video looking at each topic in detail
These types of videos are why I love Tifo! And JJ Bull offcourse! Hahaha
Really lovely of you guys to help out my boy Ole
Super brilliant.. this is how a channel should be. Thanks Tifo
Not sure if Tifo are aware but there is a demographic like myself (approaching early 30s) they can appeal to with vids like this
One where you've always loved football but would like to transition into the more mature, tactical analytics and man management aspects of it. Basically the boring parts made interesting thru ur presentation
Someone please forward this video to Ole, & maybe a subscription of The Athletic to him too
No, he is doing fine...trust the process
Best video explaining this beautiful game
Thank you!!!!!!! This was needed Grateful
Great video I have to say. Very clear and informative
The video I was waiting for all day long... Just to learn the basics of football tactical analysis
If you could, please make a video about different set piece tactics. Great content.
Love it when u break down football in simplest terms
Great and simple and very important
I regret paying for coaching badges when I could have just watched tifo all along
Thank you! I needed this
More managerial videos please! Tifo fans can manage a team too!
By far the best video on either channel
Very nice
Thank you for your good content🙌🏼
A masterclass for beginners in coaching!
Thanks
Wow! very insightful
This is good stuff. Could show this to people who want to get into watching but don’t understand the game yet.
Thanks for clarifying I've been watching without understanding
Great video. I wpuld love to see a video of 5 a side tactics.
tifo never fails to simplify things for us!
Love it❤. I can’t just like it when it teaches me so much in just 7 minutes
Great video. I wish you explained the set pieces tactics
"Setpieces can often be overlooked".
Ends the video. 🤷♂️
Fantastic video!
Thanks for this Tifo💯
After this video! TIFO is officially my favourite CZcams channel( across any category) Big fan! , can you get a me autograph ✍️ ?
Amazing stuff guys! :)
Brilliant stuff
Amazing video!
to be honest: a very nice idea - football is such a part of my life that i never thought about how it must feel when you never heard about it before and now you will understand it
How could anyone dislike this video? Proof people will always find something to complain about when there is none.
Amazing video. The style was incredibly reminiscent of Pink Tights and Plenty of Props by Rowan Atkinson. Which makes me love this that much more... :D
This is fantastic
Thanks for this Tifo
Gives me a better understanding of the game!
i feel like this was a lecture that i need to pay for. always top, top quality videos.
Classifications are needed for coming up with easy to use terminologies but every phase has a fair amount of overlap and no phase of play can be a strictly one or the other.
Uhm..... 😂
love videos like this
I love how the red is for Man U and that juxtaposes their current state of coaching 😂 Tifo with some inadvertent (or advertent?) humour. Love it either way
Wow. U can see how the big clubs like chelsea, man city and liverpool play with their systems as well as appreciate how the smaller teams attempt to break them. I get what everton, Brentford, west ham and crystal palace more now as well
Hey guys, great video 👍 could you give some recommendations of books or resources to help improve a person's knowledge of football, apart from watching TIFO IRL of course 😉 keep up the good work!
Honestly Football is simple. The difficult thing is doing the simple things correctly.
Please do a more detailed video on set peices!
Tifo’s analysis is off the charts. Fantastic stuff
Omg watching every other tifo video with this knowledge in hand... I felt set pieces explanation was a bit rushed through tho
This should be a required viewing whenever someone wants to comment something football related on social media. Im so sick of people treating everything like FIFA cause even pundits and some writers pander on those types of discussions cause of the clicks and attention they result to.
Pundits are the worst analyists. They debate about trivial matters
this was very good i will wathc more ❤
Finally someone willing to tackle the tough questions
Very helpful for an American fan who has a general no idea what's going on
Yep, after watching this video, I'm officially more tactically adept than Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as a manager.
Best video I've watched on football
streets are saying Ronald Koeman personally requested this video while he was still employed at Barcelona
Tifo in splendid form
I would like if you guys made your own custom XI, and make your own tactics and how your team would play, it would be very interesting
Great 😊
Great video
Another top vid by tifo 😎👌
Thanks alot
As someone who’s team is struggling badly playing a 2-2-2 in 7 aside
Could you do some basic tactics or formations for small sided games
struggled with that formation as well. 3-2-1 did better for us with a regista at the middle of 3atb. 2 mids playing destroyer-creator combo (sometimes both box-to-box in tougher games). with me playing as a pressing 9. sometimes we play 3-1-2 with a tall striker besides me because to think of it i fit the werner role
You can't just do tactics out of nowhere not knowing what players you have, fitness, speed, players strengths and weaknesses
2-2-2 is a terrible formation for 7 aside
Would love it if you lot had 'the next [insert superstar]' series. Would love to know which stars today are most like the legends of yesterday statistically like Pirlo or Berkamp.
I had no idea !!
"Set pieces are hugely important but often overlooked" proceeds to overlook set pieces
Where's the merch song? I was looking forward to it.
C´mon guys. The three offensive phases are not decided by the balls position on the pitch, but the balls position compared to the defending teams pres.
Phase 1: When then ball is in front of the first defensive pressing line.
Phase 2: When the ball is in front of the second defensive pressing line.
Phase 3: When the ball is in front of the third defensive pressing line (or behind it)
But else good stuff you guys are making.
Things you never knew you never knew.
Aboot football
Thanks for explaining to The Glazers and Ole
I have played football all my life (and I'm pretty skilled at it) but I never quite understood modern football strategy like I do watching Tifo Football.
Ole be watching this taking notes right now.
very subtle tifo..very subtle..now someone tell ole to watch this
¡Gracias!
Joe divine...? Your voice is why I'm always here
I'm wondering if recent tifo videos are for football enthusiasts or for Ole Gunnar Solskjær training manual
