Next River plate tactics.
Perfect timing, I was just studying his tactics last night until 3 am thanks
He is my favorite Legend thanks a lot for this video.
Thank you for this great video
Love your videos man, can you make a video about Sarris Napoli???

"Playing football is very simple, but playing simple football is the hardest thing there is".

At about that time he commented on Zlatan:"He has a good technique for a bad player, but a bad technique for a good player" At that time Zlatan was struggling with heading the ball and was attempting a lot overhead kicks and bringing down high balls with his feet. Making relatively simple situations difficult for himself and the team but also showing some spectacular football.
@@MrKoen49 He is overrated anyway. He for sure played in big teams and scored some spectacular goals but he never managed to make the difference, he always played with great players and still never even won the Champions League. Fun fact: he joined Juventus after they won the CL, he left Inter before they won the CL and when he left Barcelona they won the CL again. lol And he never even came close to perform well enough for Sweden. Cruiff was right
@@chadgable984 I disagree, the impuls he is giving to AC Milan still at this moment shows it. And over a longer timespan, 11x national champion in really respectable leagues, 4x league top scorer. It will not make him among the all time top 10 world wide but he is an iconic player
Today is his birthday. My favorite legend, Johan Cruijff . RIP 🙏

@@user-os1dn6km6h Ah yes, he had agreed to sign in Feb but was still at Bayern in March. thanks for the correction
Greg Barnes no problem
No... It will come back. We just lost form and we are getting older. Barça was so high for the past 10 years that anything looks average in comparison. Don't forget that we still destroy domestic competitions which are pretty hard.
If we had focused on CL like real madrid did, we would have won it more often.
Now I see.The position pep played helped him a lot to become a manger at the level he is.

Just too honest, which people can't handle.
Very good video. However, I have to correct you on a few facts. Koeman, Laudrup, Stoichkov and Romario never ever played in the same lineup. Back then there was a rule limiting 3 foreigners on the field at the same time. As a result, Laudrup often stayed on the bench, as Cryuff preferred to play the other 3. It was one of the reason why Laudrup left for Real M (the other reason being his contract and salary). Laudrup also never ever played on the left side of the diamond midfield. Before Romario, he played either the False 9 role or on the wing. Once Barca bought Romario, Cruyff moved to using the traditional 4-3-3 formation more often. Before that it was the 3-4-3 used more often. For example, in the 1992 final vs Sampdoria it was 3-4-3 (Subi - Koeman, Nando, Ferrer - Guardiola, Eusebio, Juan Carlos, Bakero - Salinas, Stoichkov, Laudrup), while in 1994 CL final it was 4-3-3 ( Subi - Ferrer, Koeman, Nadal, Sergi - Guardiola, Amor, Bakero - Stoichkov, Bergiristain, Romario).
Guardiola rarely left the middle channel, so he didn't really cover the fullbacks/wide defenders (Ferrer, Sergi). He did cover Koeman when needed though. Pep was the defensive pivot. Bakero was the attacking pivot. His role was slightly different thatn typical attacking midfielder. He often played with back to goal, redistributing the ball, playing simple 1 or 2 touch football, and then surging into the penalty box to score or win second balls. He was not tall, but he had a good jump on him and headed the ball very well.
Johan Cruyff is the most influential person in modern football. He influenced the game as a player, as a coach, as director, honorary president, a mentor and commentator. Ajax, Barca, Spain and Holland owe him a lot. His philosophy continues to live through the work of Pep Guardiola, who surpassed him in terms of success in winning trophies. I'm sure Johan is proud watching from heaven his "adopted" son.
I Think you are right but i dont Know cause i dont bother read that long a comment🤣
Matt Doherty then shut up moron
He said in the video he was using an ideal line up of players he had used
@@nickconnor1697 but that is not an ideal lineup as Laudrup and Romario don't fit together. Cruyff never played them in the same lineup even when Koeman or Stoichkov were on the bench.
@@seven92023 you're right across the board. I'm amazed you remembered Miki Laudrup as false 9 and how you remembered Pep not covering Ferrer and Sergi, finally a mate that understands football and history football on CZcams. In addition, an ideal line up of Cruijff's Barca should have Guillermo Amor
The man who revolutionised Barcelona and football. Brilliant tactical breakdown.
sadly, now barcelona is going backward...
La Masia is becoming an after thought once again.
They still kinda play "entertaining" football, but not as much as it was before... and they barely got the result they wanted. (could be much better)

I was a dutch kid in 1970, round the time Cruijff came up in our national competition. We played football daily and he was so popular, everyone wanted to be number 14. I guess bc he was also charismatic. He never was a big heavy guy, but looked rather thin, maybe even fragile, specialy compared to todays players (or most of them).
But he was magical. As i became an adolescent and had stopped playing football, i did understand the game better. One thing that was totally different back then was the brutalness in the game. How hard it was. Tackles from behind, the continuous kicking to the ankles and feet, was normal and referees didnt stop the game for it, unless someone was injured sometimes. Ofc some was not allowed, but generally a lot more than today. We also didnt have the theatre yet on the pitch. That came mostly from south america it seemed. I then noticed in pretty much every match that Cruijff often made tiny or bigger jumps while on the ball, to avoid getting kicked. He must have had some 6th sense or eyes in his back bc often managed to avoid tackles from behind even. He was known for that quality and if he hadnt had it, his days on the pitch as a player wouldnt have been that long.
Those guys, even though quite some of them at that time, often looked rather thin, were tough people. I remember Neeskens in the WC semi final against argentina played on with a broken nose and one ball kicked into his abdomen. Quite different from today where they usually roll on the pitch squirming without as much as a scrape.
Cruijff was also, apart from charismatic and charming, cocky. But you could take it from him, bc thats how amsterdammers often were. In Cruijffs case, bc he did know so much about football, it wasnt misplaced. So he also wasnt afraid to take that penalty in that manner. With the 1-2. I believe the other player was Neeskens.
As a player he was good on the ball, good oversight, sublime passing, good dribbling, good speed, good finisher, gr8 body manoevres with the ball for passing players, not afraid, could lead in the field and not too lazy to go the extra mile. He had it all.
But i still wonder if he hadnt had to jump so much to avoid kicks to his lower extremities, how much more could he have done?
A remarkable player and later on coach, of which many dutch are still proud.
Johan attempted the 3-4-3 with mixed results on his first year in Barcelona and ended up settling for a 4-3-3 in most occasions. Examples include the 2 most important games in his time at Barcelona (European Cup finals in 92 and 94) where Johan played with Koeman and Nando / Nadal in the middle of a 4 man defense.
"Football is played with the head, the legs are just there to help. Quality without results is pointless and results without quality is boring. Playing football is simple, playing simple football is the hardest thing there is. A founding father of beautiful football, a football genius. RIP king, legend, god.
Playing the easiest ball is the hardest thing
If you are slower than your direct opponent, you have to start sooner.. Italians can't beat you, but you surely can lose to them.... Money isn't important in football. I’ve never seen a bag of money score a goal... You'll only get it, when you see it... ”Cruijffiaans” is a Dutch adjective for statements that seem either nonsensical or contradictory, until you think about them a little longer.

In Dutch , as he said it … “ wanneer hun de bal heb, kunnen ze niet scoren . Das logisch “. The funny thing is that Cruyff spoke weird Dutch and often used words wrong . In this case the words “ hun “ and “heb” are incorrect , although easy to understand .
In Holland people often said Cruyff speaks Cruyffian Dutch “. He had a unique usage of language .
Jaak Swart , in the 70 ies playing alongside Cruyff at Ajax , once said about Cruyff …” the problem is that he (Cruyff) always wants to be right . His way or the highway . He does not except others’ opinions . But the thing is … Cruyff was always right “.

By far.
Pep gets a lot of credit for the way he make his team play but what people forget is he has took all that from Johan cruyff
Name a man who had more influence on modern football than Cruyff. You cannot. He was a genius.
That Ferguson guy was pretty dope also pelé did some cool sh*t as well for football
@@bigt1913 Cruiyff can compete with Pele as a player and with Ferguson as a manager.Shows how great he was and how much of an influence he had on Football.
@@dilshadareen8455 except for longetivity at coaching. Due to health problem, Cruijff only coached for 11 years
@@bigt1913 Pele? Lol How did Pele influence modern football? Pele was never a coach and he also never played a style that influenced other players because nobody really saw Pele playing and his impact in football wasn't even that big. Sure he scored 1000 goals, most of them against minor teams. Maradona for instance was different, he was so brutally attacked in all his world cup performances and during his time in Europe that the officials finally changed the rules and had tackles from behind immediately booked with the red card. I believe Maradona was the main reason for it
Rinus Michels, the Godfather of Total Football and Cruyff's mentor. Yes, Cruyff was and still is the most important figure in the history of football, but it is kind of sad that Michels is never or rarely mentioned. Just watch the Barca documentary "Take the ball, pass the ball", it annoys me that not even the players like Xavi or Pique mention him.
If football was a person then Johan Cruyff changed his life
Well said!

Oh man the movement off the ball that de Bruyne does he learned from Pep who learned it from Cruyff... And now in this cup finale I saw Frenkie do it too who learned it from Koeman who of course learned it from Cruyff too... Damn
A true football genius on and off the pitch, and inspiring many players also influences many coach
Wow, thank you for accepting my suggestion, thank you Football Made Simple. 😍😍
Pep literally is doing exactly this. But he's learned the premier leagues physical side as well. Wow.
This man is a genius not just as a footballer but as a coach...his intelligence and the way he sees the game is unmatched upto date...taught the finest coach of this generation as to how to think about this game and be creative...pep will forever be grateful to this GOAT of a player and a coach

Lovely video, but you forgot you forgot to mention "the Cruyff turn"! 😄👍
Needed some more Cruyffisms, but this is one of my favorite videos you guys put out and I watch it on almost a weekly basis.
It boggles my mind when I think about the number of football players/coaches cryuff has inspired. The man who changed the game truly.
Great video! Another influential side that you should do a video on is Sacchi’s late 80s/early 90s AC Milan!
Superb video!!
Absolutely amazing ! I feel that football tactics are more difficult than any other educational stream
Fantastic video on a fantastic player and coach! Thanks a million.
The most influential footballer of all-time, Johan Cruijff
Great stuff, man. keep it up!
Thanks from Brazil , love your channel ❤️ always greats ideias...
its really cool that you mentioned cheeky berigistien as i had no idea he was in this side and this explains the way city have operated since he took his position, youth teams all playing the same way and such has been a massive thing in how city have opperated, and they also try to pump out players who go on to play in lower divisions. extremely cool stuff!
He is the inventor of tiki taka style his quote says that when you have the ball there is a zero chance for the opponent to score the goal
He didn't invent tiki taka 😂 , c'mon man. Possession doesn't mean u've to do tiki taka , see his Barcelona dream team matches n Lemme see if there's anything as tiki taka , what he meant with that is , never make a pass that lets u lose the ball , go forward with the ball under ur leg untill u find someome with open-play or someone who can pass to different positions without wasting any time . Tiki taka was inspired from possession play .
@@realog868 ok I agree with you but even pep said that tiki taka is totally rubbish and no meaning to it he said tiki taka is just passing around and it is just negative passing and you have to pass it with clear intent
saurav sastry Tiki Taka wasn’t really a big thing until the 1960s
@@braydengalloway9732 tiki taka was renamed in 2008 when Spain football team used to pass it is actually an evolution of total football when cruyff used it for Netherlands,ajax and then he bought possession based to Barcelona tiki taka football is like players have to stick to their position and then play with clear intent this was modified by pep guardiola
@@sauravsastry Pep's style and philosophy is NOT called tiki taka. Tiki taka is simply passing the ball for the sake of it. Tiki taka dwells on passing the ball horizontally and not vertically or diagonally to progress the play.
I remember back when Guardiola was still the Barca manager, and other teams tried to copy his barcelona team for which they failed massively. Arsene wenger's arsenal team tried to implement Pep's style at Barca and it did not work out simply because they did not understand how to structure and execute positional play. Wenger's arsenal had the players to play similar to Barcelona especially when they had the likes of fabregas, rosicky, wilshere etc but the problem was the coaches did not understand the basis of Barcelona's football under Pep and they thought that Pep's barca passed the ball around for the sake of it.
Guardiola's style is called Juego de Posición or Positional play. Positional play is based on having numerical superiority in every area of the pitch using the ball as the focal point. Every player was drilled on positioning with reference to 3 things: the ball, their teammates and the position of opposition players. Also having numerical superiority around the ball enables Pep's teams to hunt the ball down quickly and effectively once they lose the ball.
That is the secret to Guardiola's style.
Johan Cruyff genius!
Cruyff is and would always my solo admired player
With the signing of Kessie and Christensen (and having Frenkie De Jong) i could see Xavi implementing a 3-4-3 at Barca next season
Great video about a genius who made the game “beautiful”
OMG FINALY SOMEONE TALKS ABPUT HIM !!!!
cruyff was also a football myth that every club wanted.
his leadership and tactical cleverness was amazing.
As a dutchman, i love reading the comments. Cruijff is a legend more abroad than in the Netherlands. His view of soccer is extraordinaire and under estimated in the Netherlands.
Really. ? I would have thought he would be highly appreciated in the nederlands
Great video, loving it
And Ajax Amsterdam also played 3-4-3 in the first half of the 1985/86 season, the first season Cruijff coached them. Menzo; Silooy, Spelbos, Boeve; Vanenburg, Ronald Koeman, Rijkaard, Arnold Mühren; van 't Schip, van Basten, de Wit (2nd half of 1985). In the second half of the season, the first half of 1986, it seemed they even played 3-3-4, with Bosman as extra centre forward. Their goal difference in the competition that season was +85 (120-35)!
Excellent stuff. I've subscribed.
I turned seven years old in the Summer of '74, discovering Cruyff and the Netherlands team. My favourite player growing up (as a Man Utd fan in England, no less). I know Pele has just passed away, and seen as the best player ever, but Cruyff remains my favourite to watch and just as outstanding as a manager/coach. Thanks for this.
Barcelona would have never lost to bayern if he was alive and in charge of the board..deeply missing him after the bayern tragedy :))
Such an elegant explanation by simple context. Great video. I hope we'll have Milan of Arrigo Sacchi in future.
Great video! Many thanks.
cruyff was a true legend, nice video

Dude... you're a #Legend 👑 for this! ✨👍😁
Was actually just doing research on cruyffs 3-4-3 diamond yesterday. Top content
You focused a lot on the 93/94 season and forgot some interesting variations that Cruyff did before Romario signed and before Sergi Barjuan was called up to the main team. Very often, Cruyff played Nando or Nadal as right defendrrs, both being originally center backs that had to learn to play wider. In those cases Ferrer would play on the left instead of the right and in the midfield Goykoetxea or Eusebio would be almost like a full back. There was another variation that would have Ferrer on the right and Nadal on the left of the defense with Juan Carlos as a left midfielder. Usually Goykoetxea or Juan Carlos would play midfield with Amor or Eusebio on the opposite side of the diamond, but sometimes Eusebio and Amor or Richard Witschge would play with Guardiola and Bakero in the midfield and Goykoetxea or Juan Carlos would play as defenders with Koeman and Ferrer. Laudrup played false 9 more often than not, but sometimes Julio Salinas would play center forward. Stoichkov and Beguiristain were usually the wingers but sometimes Laudrup and Salinas would play as "false wings" and Stoichkov as central forward. But those positions were not static, everyone swapped positions during the game and moved around the field in a seemingly chaotic fashion that actually proved to be very much the point. Cruyff was often accused of being a madman at first, but after he'd won three Leagues, a Cup, a Cup Winners' Cup, a Cup of Europe (not yet called Champions Leagye) and a European Supercup and had a phenomenal performance in the Intercontinental Cup against Sao Paulo, the media started calling Barça the Dream Team and comparing them with the 1992 Barcelona Olympics US Basketball team that had amazed the world.
Peter Bosz essentialy used this blueprint with Bayer Leverkusen last season
@@tiagocouto5149 I didn't know that, I'll have to check it out. Thanks.
Also this was Pre Bosman, so teams were only allowed 3 foreigners on the pitch. All 4 foreigners (Koeman, Laudrup, Stoichkov & Romario) were never on the pitch at the same time.
The name of the players is wrong. Sergi and Romario were not there in 1990-93. When did Juan Carlos play in the midfield? He played as a left back, in the same position Sergi took in 1993. Laudrup did play in the midfield but he usually was (fake) centerforward, and Stòitxkov and Begiristain as wingers. Eusebio and Amor in the midfield with Guardiola and Bakero
Sao Paulo BEAT Barca in the Intercontinental Cup...revenge for Cerezo !!!!
great video mate
Great video!!!
It is a great video which you have produced on Johan Cruijff. I only think that it would be great if there was a complete tactical analyse which he had used at Ajax and Barcelona. Besides that, I think that it would be interesting to analyse the influence which Rinus Michels had on Johan Cruijff, and the (tactical) influence which Johan Cruijff had on other managers like Ronald Koeman, Josep Guardiola, Wim Jonk and also on his own son Jordi Cruijff. I also think that Johan Cruijff had a big influence on the 4-1-2-3 and his view on the gymnestic importance by the development of (youth)players. I would love to see a documentary size video in which these mentioned points would be covered.
Awesome. Finally a video that can help me PES like Cruijff😊
A true genius in every footballing sense, Barca owe everything to him and so does the world of football, I just got his book today and I can’t wait to read it

@@bcbitchkkv most of the name you mentioned played only either when the other player where in bench or didn't actually play together.
The experience he had under Cruyff's mentorship, That explains why Guardiola is now a brilliant tactician. Good video 👍
Cruyff often played with Ferrer - Koeman - Juan Carlos on defense, he liked to play with 2 very fast, aggressive wing backs that could cover a lot of space. The midfielders were Amor, Nadal or Eusebio with Guardiola, with Nadal often dropping as centre back in case of help needed there due to his physicality. Laudrup played mostly as a false nine with total freedom, with Begiristain and Stoichkov as wingers, and Bakero as a second striker, playing mostly facing back the goal, dropping balls to the midfielders and going for second plays.

Cruyff himself explained the diamond different . Although he sometimes , or often , played with 3 defenders , in his explanation playing the diamond was also about the position of the deep striker . He once said , on a Dutch program where he explained his diamond, that it makes only sense to play with a deep striker if you have a world class striker . If you don’t , the striker will be the top of the diamond , behind two strikers .
In the same program he said that defense has 4 players but one moves to midfield when in possession .
No his explanation was similar to this video…romario was a great striker don’t you think? He even explained in that dutch video that in barcelona he used to play with the inverted fullback in offense (creating the 343 as explained here), and falling back to a 433 with diamond in defense.
@@donaldvanvliet9039 when a video talks about “ wide central midfielders “ , you should know there is a lot of bullshit going on . There is no such thing as wide central midfielders .
@@wengelder9256 sure but the formations on the field seemed correct to me…regardless off all these english position-names that seem to change so often😂
Genius
Good video 👍
Legend !
You have football before Cruyff and football after Cruyff. He had such a huge impact on the game. He brought brains to this ruthless game. Genius.
No one had such an impact on football like johan did. A beast of a player, a beast of a coach Also a beats in fifa game also
Please, please make a video on
What happened to Argentina in the 2018 World Cup
I mean do we really need the answer ? No good tactical approach ( although world cup isn't known for Tactical approach , u got good teammates u win ) , AFA is corrupted af n one more thing that I always wondered or believed is , after the humiliation against Germany when Maradona was the Manager , he didn't want the team to succeed n everyone knows he has huge influence in the Federation of Argentina , another thing is he hates Messi , he wants Argentines to believe he's the G.O.A.t , well I'm not into this conversation as well but again that Man doesn't like Messi at all ,if not coz of the Hand of Goal ,I don't think people would have even considered Maradona in the G.O.A.T convo at all . Argentina doesn't have defence at all , no mid field . U can't win anything without a good defence.

Here you go...
Real OG don't blame the defence. Argentina rarely conceded many goals. Indeed only few. It's the toothless attack which made the Argentina with Messi is trophyless. Had they scored just one goal, they would have beaten Germany and did not have to go to extra time and lost in 2014 for example.
@@mts4759 u give germans a chance ?they don't miss , did u see how that last goal was made ? Conceding a goal doesn't only mean that your defence is good , it was average in 2014 n shit in 2018 . Attack was good , was it utilized ? That's the question
Thanks 😊
Stoichkov primarily was on the left attacking side (left winger), of course often changing positions with the right winger.

I repeat does anybody have an Idea on how to recreate the tiki taka/Cruyff tactics in FM
Cesar A Pando-Jacquez Xavi or ten hag can bring it again
Cesar A Pando-Jacquez It’s quite easy. Just use the tiki taka tactic template, then maybe add a few team instructions such as ”get stuck in”. If you want to create more chances, then maybe add the counter attack function instead of the hold shape one. The formations that works best with this is 4-1-4-1 DM Wide or 5-2-2-1 or formations with similar elements. I play the 4-1-4-1 with complete wing-backs that overlap the inside forwards, though I would not recommend to use the overlap team instructions as it disrupts the creative and expressive play in the final third. Also don’t forget to put your defensive midfielder on a defensive duty since the wing backs push so far up. He essentially forms a defensive three with the centerbacks while the team is attacking. I put the centerbacks as ball playing defenders but I think that sometimes they take too many risks, so i change into a central defender, choose wisely. If you have really good wingers, then you might aswell use them as wingers but then you should change the wing backs into full backs to make the tactic work better. Also don’t be afraid to use many playmakers in a tiki taka, I usually use two deep lying playmakers with one on defensive duty and one on support while I have an advanced playmaker on either support or attack. Usually all these playmakers are part of a midfield three (with two central midfielders and one defensive, with the defensive midfielder on defensive duty) but if you feel like it than you may put an advanced playmaker where the wingers or inside forwards play. But don’t forget that the movement of the wide players usually depends on each other. If you have a wing back or complete wing back then the wide advanced playmaker would work as an inside forwards in the manner that they cut inside, this can be changed in player instructions. Otherwise if you have a full back then the Advanced Playmaker works better if he is used like a winger and have the same player instructions like a winger. Also I normally use the positive mentality. Don’t forget though, and this is important, that your team needs to excel their opponents when it comes to technique, first touch, passing etc. Meaning that your teams strengths must include technique. You can see what kind of strengths your team has on ”Team Report”. So don’t implement this if your team doesn’t have the capabilities of a technical player since this is quite an extreme tactic. And this works at it’s best with bigger teams. And I sometimes even struggle playing with a big team such as Barcelona. I apologize for the long answer but I’ve become quite nerdy playing FM.
@@oliverhumby73 really appreciate 🙏 your input, thank you so much!
I was gonna ask the same but I think I'll stick to my 4-2-4.
Oliver Humby instead of using the 4-1-4-1, after reading a few blogs and experimenting myself, I’ve used a 3-5-1-1 with a dlp in the middle, two cms ok support and then two wingers on attack. And that really creates the shape of cruyffs tactic while being defensively solid.
Can you make a video
On the impact of B . Fernandes on Man U
And before each match, after all the tactical stuff, he used to watch his players and say: "Chavales, a salir al campo y a disfrutarlo" ("guys, go out there in the ground and have fun")!
I can see Photoshop is your passion. Really great video though, thank you :D
Since you asked,.... I am from Amsterdam myself, as is my whole family. Cruijff was most famous for his thinking outside the box. You discussed the topic of "the square on the midfield" well I guess, but Cruijff was famous for so much more than just "the square on the midfield". I suggest you also cover traits or sayings like "attack is the best form of defence". Cruijff would also say that if the opponent excelled on moving outside of the man-mark, then just stop man-marking him, so there is nothing left he can excell at. Cruijff was a tactical mastermind. Not only in the way he would setup his formation, but also in the tactical shape and attacking mindset of his teams. He is truly missed and will go down as one of the greatest of all time. God Bless him
Legendary Dutch International Johan Cruyff also said he would like to start his defence from the final third and the attack from the defensive third. You will always be remembered for your Total Football.
i never watched Cruyff Barcelona with that formation in my life but when i was playing Top 11 on 2012, i was blueprinting the exact shape of formation on a paper. With this vid, now i can fully the foramtion in Fifa
I needed this. I was getting bored.
The reality is that it’s all about the right personnel for the right system. The truly great coaches adjust on the fly depending on what’s in front of them. Watch as they adjust at halftime when things aren’t going well. That’s when you see the truly great coaches shine...
You should take a look on Tele Santana`s São Paulo FC in the early 90's. The club has beat several times European clubs like Barcelona, AC Milan, Real Madrid when they had great squads. It is one of the most underrated squads in football history.
most influential in history. thinking outside the box when it comes to tactics, training, players' lifestyle, raising academy youths etc. etc.
no one has influenced the game as much! the GOAT.
