The kings of football blown from their throne by long haired men playing a revolutionary brand of football. That's how the clash between Brazil and Holland in the 1974 World Cup is often portrayed. But Holland's famous victory left a legacy greater than any pretty metaphor can capture.
It proved, decisively, that cohesive, collective movement in both attack and defense is an essential part of modern football. Brazil 1970 may have triumphed on sheer talent alone, they would be the last side to ever do so.

Those tackles are no joke...... I saw like 10 red cards from each team
in the end of 1st halk, neekens was quite literally knocked out by marinho peres. were there VAR by these times, the latter could be banished from practicing football for life.
The best team in the history of football. Maybe we won't see a squad play in this way anymore. Who had the opportunity to see the Holland of 1974 in action, was a very luckily man. Johan Cruyff: the best.
Holland, making the sweeper keeper a cool thing 40 years before Neuer did it at the 2014 WC.
I love how Ajax/Holland and Cryuff's Barca used fullbacks. Very similar to the way Guardiola uses Alaba and Lahm;. Way more involved in buildup play to the traditional FB.
It's not only Ajax and Holland - its Holland in general style of play. Full backs are always playing around wingers. In modern football its just elementary...
Not just Ajax Feyenoord used to do the same thing.
The look on Zagalo's face speaks for thousand words ! He asks his assistant: "what country is this?!". Masters of the beautiful game have just been outplayed and outsmarted by the new powerhouse.
A pass from Ruud's wrong leg at Cruijff for the 2-0. Unbelievable what a gem that was.
A classic game. Ze Maria's rugby tackle on Cruyff was hillarious.
Best part for me is at 2:33 when Van Hanegem takes a free kick immediately and passes to Neeskens, who is totally free. Then a one-two with Cruyff and its a goal. The real star is Van Hanegem, who was quick to think and pass and had already spotted the opportunity others failed to see.
ah, c'mon, bla bla: his was a straight pass; way more challenging is cruyff's last one, made in the free space among three braziilan defenders, right where neeskens were arriving to finish just above leão's reach. any way, this whole goal is a piece of craft.
That herd of Dutch players at .38 is just fantastic.
zagallo's face in the end is priceless: in days before this match, he was calling dutch's national team as "amateurs" ("pelada organizada"). he was dully punished.
"Striker Cruyff plays everywhere"... That's brutal, man.
Cruyff was brutal.
PrudentMeteor32 dutch players play everwhere
A laranja mecânica de 74 foi a que revolucionou o futebol tático e simbolizou o enfraquecimento do futebol técnico.
Madness tactic, crazy player, incredible to watch Netherland back in the days
rip johan cruiff
The aggressiveness is unbelievable. Players today wouldn’t stand one tackle.
ok boomer
@@adriantow5385 don’t pretend he is not spitting facts
@@ivocoelho6588 i pretends
I don't understand how there are people saying about the football is better nowadays... these players were genius and they did this sport interesting... now is hard to see good matches...
Jhon Francisco Contreras Torres true, I don't like the actual football :( most of the times the matches are boring (sorry for my english)
Johny Gat your English is okay, you don't need to apologize.
Holland in 74 played modern football
Jhon Francisco Contreras Torres today they use counter attack attack attack tactical , boring
When men were men and not ponces like now
1:42 i thought he would fall to the ground and cover his face the way nowdays player did but instead he keep running like lion. Football player are manly in the old days
The Dutch are the most influencial footballer players and managers around really. Amazing how their theory put into practice is everywhere.
Sadly they didn't bring the World Cup back to their country
An English friend asked me why the Dutch never a cup despite all the great talent the country produced.
I replied that we have absolutely great players and world-class coaches, but we could never form a world-class great team.
It is the nation's wet dream to win the cup one day.
Ideally against Germany...
@@robertarisz8464 we were close in 2014
by then, watching holland on the pitch was like witnessing 11 guys playing another sort of sport.
The Holland 1974 didnt need to defend...their attack is their defense.
@marcioaso Goes both ways, Brazil adopted a very violent style during that World Cup to compensate for the lack of quality in their team and tactics. And the game was much more violent overall, compared to the way football is played these days.
Great analysis!
Very enjoyable and an excellent analysis. If you haven't done so already, read Robert Fish's biography of Pele who describes the state of mind in the Brazillian camp (as he was a spectator, not a player) at the 1974 World Cup very vividly. The Selecao weren't very focused and Zagalo was satisfied with narrow margins of victory and dour play to achieve them.
Cruyff was as good technically as any Brazilian. In the head he was 2 yards quicker than any player ever! Just saying!
But Pele was good too. They did change the way we thought about that stupid game. How do they say it, the least important, important thing in the world = football. Thats what makes them gamechangers.
Yeah right
Fantastic analysis Seb, another great video!
Really well explained and good to show the imp moments in the match
3:15 Mario Zagallo absolutely had no idea of Cryff's Goal
these are amazing.i feel like i learn so much from this type of video.
When the striker surprises the enemy team by playing striker u know that's a great tactic.
johan Cruyff. RIP. legend
Cruijff revolutionized football as a player before and as a coach then.
And Rinus Michels
I really like watching this but how did the Dutch get away with having 40 men on the field?
Too lenient referees. Lol
1:12 Not offside po wn...
not only then, but other times too.
back then the offisde trap was different, if one player was offisde eventhough he wasnt participating in play it was offside. Thats why you see everyone running forward to the halfway line because it was impossible for brazil to play a long ball since multiple players were standing offside and a runner from an onside position would still be called off.
@@vaaggasje, due respect, i disagree. luiz pereira was participating in the play, for the pass was precisely made to him.
@@jbpicado doesn't matter, back then if 1 person was offside, everyone was offside
@@vaaggasje you have a point, if jairzinho was offside, is that it?
Classic Holland team = The Beatles in Football
Exactly
lovely analysis, thanks!
what is the name this music??? from the video
wow.. what a video.. awesome.. how clearly a football tactic is explained.. that to one of the most talked about tactic of total football.. all the best..
great vid. love the crazy pressing at 0.43...5 guys just charging for the ball
The name of this music is "Vangelis - Alpha"
This is pure tactic, playing smart and using the rules. It's great to see that this kind of offensive playing still works. You must have the team and players for it. Last year Ajax could do it with a great team although they had far less budget then teams like Real. This year the last 2 many key players to play like this. Pity. Some teams have coaches which use parts of it like Bayern or City.
Because Germany were an amazing team in their own right.
Germany had there own system based around passing football as well. If you do not believe me go and have a look at the game. The game was all about passing.
The the difference with Holland is that they did not have the same resources as Germany. The league was smaller and they are a smaller country. What they achieved was amazing. Holland have played in 3 world cup finals and won euro 88.
England needs the same level of innovation.
Nice analysis really, until now Holland game influences modern game football.
0:20 damn, that's a fantastic Rugby tackle
Well put, at that level of football, no single talent can prevail... it takes a team.
Rinus Michels is creator of modern football.
this is very true. In fact, only those teams, clubs or national, that practice the Holland-74 model, have been successful. Others, who opt to either stick to their domestic style, like England or Uruguay, or try to invent their own model, like Denmark in mid 80s w/ its 3+6+1 line-up, they didn't go far. Even Italy, famous w/ its rigid defense - look who scored so many really decisive goals - Cabrini in 82, Grosso and Materazzi in 06.
I loved, I love and I will love, the national team of the Netherlands.Except for the national team of Romania! For me Cruyff is the greatest player of all time!
From Italy I say. The Netherlands had a great team, but in this game Brazil had real chances of victory. And more, the Netherlands may have won, but did not massacre Brazil, as it had massacred Uruguay, Argentina, etc. lost by little, without speaking the maneuvers extra field to undermine Brazil. The Brazilian talent is unequaled, 5 stars, and one more final in Russia, against Italy.Netherlands eternal vice.
Legend.. cruyff
I am Dutch, nut i’m not fan of the Dutch team nowaday.
Missed the EC 2016 and WC 2018...
But Cruyff & the others were só good...
Ajax/Amsterdam where in 1970 the total soccer, voetbal, got it's birth, was based on the following ingredients.
TEAM (Together Each Achieves More). At all age levels you were taught that the 10 players who do NOT have
the ball at the moment in the game are as EQUAL important as the person who has the ball. All players can not for 1 second be distracted from the game. All players endurance/fitness was priority # 1. The individual requirements based on TIPS.
Technique, Intelligence, Personalty and Speed. Ajax Youth Development system has been copied around the world. Righteously so. The results of Ajax 1971, 1972 and 1973 season was undisputed an era of true TEAM SOCCER ! Which resulted in an DUTCH National TEAM 1974 that showed the world TOTAL SOCCER. I was born in 1960 and I have had the privilege of participating at the Ajax Youth program from 1970 till 1978. Great memories of my heroes. Cruyff , Neeskens, Suurbier, Krol, Rep, Haan, Keizer, Muhren and many more.........We, The Netherlands, have yet to actually win the WorldCUP as a nation, however I feel talking with people all over the world that we have won with our style of play the harts of all true soccer fans worldwide. And that is priceless.
0:41 wow they have like six players going for the one guy !
The players must have had a lot of nightmares from that game
Brasil é penta campeão 😉
mas nesse dia topou uma lapada, de ponta a ponta. vi o jogo na época, e já o revi centenas de vezes, é uma aula que zagallo até hoje não digeriu. a carinha dele no fim do vídeo é tudo.
1982 Brazilian Team was just as good, also had a visionary coach (Tele Santanna), but lost to Italy in the quarter-finals, 3x2, just like Holland lost to Germany on 1974, and to Argentina in 1978...
1982 Brazil and 1974 Holland are among the best of all times, but failed to win the World Cup/
And Hungria 1954
The team really deserved to win a World Cup.
Genius play cruft
Crl esse jogo lembra MT os jogos europeus de hj marcação pressão de um lado e do outro qualidade sem ficar a bola genial.
im crying hahahahaa , is so nostalgic
that holland deserved the cup
I really wish this Holland team won the World Cup that year.
Great Holland!
0.42 ,whats that? 6 vs 1 ???
Grande Cruyff e van Hanegem. The architects
Not everyone noticed that some of the off-side traps was false called as the strikers didnt cross the line before their passer touch the ball. Brazil could has scored 2 or 3 goals from those. Beside this violence tackling game would be at least 8 red cards in today standard but the West-German ref might has wanted them to injured each other before playing West Germany in the final. They violence tackle is what stopped Brazil from playing their dribbling game.
Q Pham back then the offside was slightly different
you talk shit ..............
Agree. Dubious refereeing.
At 1:11 a huge mistake, It was not an offside.
luis pereira was in perfect condition.
reinelt no back then offside was different, the other player was offside so it was offside back then, nowdays not anymore
Back then, to be inline with the second to last opponent meant that you were offside which Luis Pereira wasn't. So Reinelt, you are correct.
Alex Zander Jairzinho was offside when the ball was played.
Yes,you are right he was onside even back then.He was just the correct side when ball was played and only level when ball arrived to him.Hence onside.
reinelt Right
what is the name of this music???
The name of this music is "Vangelis - Alpha"
At 1:13 he is actually onside. Pause at 0:43 there's is 5 Dutch players hunting one Brazilian player lol, if the Brazil player simply passed it to the side then Hollands defense could have been sliced open easily. These rash tactics wouldn't work nowadays of course, but the Dutch pressing System (Holland and Ajax) of the early 70's was a catalyst for collective pressing in the modern game.
You're wrong. The rule were different back then, it was offside. Read he other replies above to understand.
nice background score
the last example was clearly not offside!
with VAR the history could be different, but there were other times. Grande Holanda, revolucionou!
They were all genuises .. but they are not the first ones to come up with pressing (Maslov of USSR probably did) and also fluid movement. But they were definitley the ones to develop them and used them to perfection and to gain european succes. Their tactics are combinations of various innovations!
This game changed football
A lot of you say that this play is impossible in this time, Ajax reached the Europa Leauge final because the style that new trainer Peter Bosz introduced this year is based on hunting for the ball.......
most influential team ever. EVER.
oh and gareth southgates engerland too… i’ve read in the news so must be true.
Everyone : the dutch are the best
Der Kaiser : hold mein beer
Pause at 1:12 Legal position.
This tactic is very out of the world, not only out of the box. Players has strange stamina to do this tactic
best match of Holland ever... hopefully they can repeat something alike in the summer (but I'm not going to bet on it)
+honey bozo hmmmm.....
+Syafiq Pha your point? Guess I was right about not betting anything on the current Holland team.....
Possibly hyperbole of mine saying that it was the best match ever.... but it certainly put Holland on the map in footballing terms.
The Netherlands team did not even had to win this game to go to the final game
In WM 1974 for the first time, no 1/4 and 1/2 finals ( also later in 1978 )
All games were poule games, except the game for 3 and 4 place
and the final game.
The Total Football was not purely Dutch, although it was Ajax that started it. The Germans used it in 1972 at the European championships, but decided not to go on with it. After the loss against East Germany in the first match of the 1974 world cup Beckenbauer forced a change. He wanted football that put the result first. The rest is history.
Ajax started it in 1970
Michels started it already at Ajax in 1968. The Germans have nothing To do With Total football.
Sheffield club started it in 1857 and the Krouts deliberately lost to avoid the Dutch and Brazil in the following group
The less gifted side resorted to violence in an attempt to balance the odds. With ref´s compliance...
Well it helped them win the game
@@jamiesimms7084 You are right. They only lost by two goals isntead than by four, as they should have.
As I recall, the main tactic in this game was to kick the shit out of each other
Primeiro gol falha de leão.E no segundo tento a origem do lance que ocasionou o gol, o jogador estava em impedimento. Zagueiro saiu deixando o holandês em impedimento o bandeira não assinalou; que roubo ein ???
Foi o maior roubo esse jogo, um monte de lance que o Brasil ia sair na cara do gol, maioria legal e deram impedimento
Creio que Leão não falhou. O chute foi bem próximo ao gol, bola alta e com efeito.
Inverting the Pyramid: The History of Football Tactics byJonathan Wilson is s great book.
As laranjas mecânicas ou o carrossel holandês. O melhor time dessa copa.
holland is just beautiful to watch
Pressing like Liverpool (Klopp), possession like Barcelona (Guardiola). Genius !
Pressing like Klopp? I don't think they do 6v1
Independente de não ter vencido uma copa do mundo,coloco cruyff entre os 4 melhores da história ao lado de Pele,Maradona e Messi
Pelé may be the best player ever, but Cruyff is the most influential.
I think Holland 1974 were better than Brazil 1982 because they were a more balanced team, that's why they were much better defensively. This Holland team reached the final and only lost by one goal (and one of Germanys goals was a dive for a penalty), on the other hand Brazil conceded 4 goals in the QF.
You're wrong
Brazilian player was WELL onside at 1:12
Also at 0.59" . No off-side.
Some of the offside called are wrong
Revolucionar o football e fazer escola por 3 décadas:
Holanda 1 x 0 Brasil
Hunting for the ball, is in nowadays football the 5 sec rule ... watch Barcelona :-). Holland has introduced several tactics which are still the rulez of the football of today!
The size brings problems of the same magnitude and at the time of the video Brazil had something close to 70 million inhabitants. For this Brazil is capable of forming 10 teams capable of being world champions, but we can only play with one team and many injustices are practiced. I compared only football, reverse the situation, put the Netherlands on the size of Brazil and will have as many problems as its size, but in football never overtake Brazil, but China would be the greatest of all.
Cruyff The Best ♥
Netherlands had a fantastic team no doubt, but for real the linesmen missed some truly outrageous calls right there, I counted 3 clearly wrong offsides there, things could have been really really different
Exactly. same thing during the final, the third goal by Gerd Muller was absolutely no off-side. In reality Belgium and not Holland should have been in WM74. In the last qualification match at the last minute Holland applied an idiotic off-side totally wrong and Belgium scored. Too bad the referee took the wrong decision and disallowed. The myth of Holland 74 is really a bad one.
@@nicolagianaroli2024 yeah, i've noticed a lot of times this dutch team actuslly did that quite often and looking back a lot of times the oponent was on side but I guess they had some bias towards this new style and the linesmen always called it offside
@@Luckymag-if4dw The linesmen were fully unprepared and the dutch took full advantage of it. Was it a breaking moment in football history? Yes. Was the dutch team that superlative? Probably not
The players of brazil did not know who to follow. If you follow your player that you should someone else pops up....its chaos in their minds.
you're right. Brazil 82 had at least one weak point in every line, except midfield. the midfield quarter - Zico, Socrates, Falcao, Cerezo - was so fantastically skillful and brilliant that it sort of 'camouflaged" the grey-spots such as Valdir Perez in the goal, Leandro in the back, and Serginho in attack. It worked until they faced a perfectly balanced and highly motivated Italy, full of players of almost equal quality to that of Brazil.
O que não tem preço é ver a cara emburrada de impotência do Zagallo ante o maior banho de bola que ele levou na vida.
@mbaquara
This cup teaches Brazil that the referees could win games.
There are offside errors in all games, plus not punished violence.
Including in this match.
Hubo 2 off side que les cobraron a los brasileros que fueron mal cobrados. Eran 2 goles para Brasil porque se iban sólos. Miren bien !!
el offside entonces era distinto, si no sabes de lo que hablas cállate
A very violent game the tackles were brutal with the intent to maim the opponent.
