"The best place to defend is in the opposition penalty box." Jock Stein.
trip2themoon ????explained
@@joeanderson6598 basically your attacking them to the point of getting the ball of them near the penalty box
Joe Anderson They can’t score if the ball is in their box. It’s pretty simple
How many World Cups did he win?
@@gialto1 none, but he took a Celtic team full of local lads and made them the best team in the world. He’s one of the greats. You’d be a fool to think otherwise.
Haha the era when 4-3-3 was considered defensive.
I mean it's pretty defensive considering all the other teams played with like 5 forwards lol
Different rules, different game
I know this is not related but are recess football tactics at scholl like 99-99-99
It's still a more defensive formation
It really depends on the interpretation. Rocco's Milan won the European Cup in 1968 fielding 3 forwards (Hamrin, Sormani, and Prati) plus the attacking midfielder Rivera, and destroying 4-1 the rising star of Crujiff's Ajax. Herrera's Inter had Peiro' as centre-forward, Jair and Corso wingers (the latter took no defensive duties), Mazzola attacking midfielder (who started his career as a forward), Suarez playmaker, and the left back Facchetti acting as an extra forward when attacking (top scorer amongst the defenders in the history of Italian football). Italy was WC runner up in 1970 with 4 attacking-minded players: 2 forwards (Riva and Boninsegna), a winger (Domenghini), and one attacking midfielder (Mazzola or Rivera), plus the playmaker De Sisti, Facchetti (see above), and Cera as libero (a midfielder converted into defender who acted as additional playmaker).
1:50 i think germanys flag looked a bit different in that time hahahaha
You completely missed to cite A.C. Padova, the team that in Italy is really known as the template for 'catenaccio'.
It was that team that allowed Nereo Rocco to gain notoriety and prominence.
He was then hired by AC Milan and won the Champions Cup 1 year later.
italy and austria are the motherlands of the modern football: they presented to the world how a football team could acquire an "energetic defense" football approach with solid defence and a quick fast pace counter attack style of play
Austria wunderteam of 30s even led to idea of total football. Weird how Austria had massive role to play in creating both contrasting football ideologies and philosophies
Sry for my "eng", but I can't resist.. I hope you understand.
What you call "catenaccio" in Italy It's simply the ability to verticalize the game.. only this.
Italy never has just defended (as some would have you believe to denigrate Italian football) but has always done the "contropiede".
Coincidentally today are called "ripartenze".. counterattack, and no one is ashamed more, maybe someone is tired of never win? LOL
In fact in all our wins (and are not few ... or am I wrong?), We have always been the team that scores more (or in any case among those that scored more).
Some countries like the ball possession (Spain, Portugal and Brasil), others focus on physical strength and technique also (Germany, Argentina.. partially England also).
Others like Italy, as I wrote before, prefer to play speed and verticalize.
But if anyone believes that go the entire football-field with two, three or four ball touches It's something easy, has never played football.
And yet the famous "tiki taka", that like so much, I think it's deadly boring..
The winner is who scores goals.. not the one who has more ball possession.
To use the words of a famous Italian player and team-Chairman:
-La vittoria non è importante... è l'UNICA cosa che conta.
-The victory is not important.. It's the ONLY thing that matters.
I agree lazios. I am an Italian football supporter and whenever people speak of "catenaccio" they always like to put it down as if it was football's darkest hour. they don't like to portray it in a positive light and often suggest that any trophy supposedly earned using the system wasn't worthy. Garbage... Football, at the professional level at least, is a highly strategic game and such is it's beauty.
I'm not talking about this channel here but I'd say the majority of people that slander "catenaccio" probably have no idea what they're talking about and most probably couldn't teach anything to Italians about football. ITALIANS KNOW FOOTBALL.
shottskies I am Italian and I agree. I believe that the issue is that in World Football we confuse catenaccio: is it " defense and counter attack" or " just defending" . No disrespect to Greece, but in 2004 they were the latter. they would score a goal by the grace of God and then just defend. No shame in that, but they tried the same exact thing 4 years later and were out in the first round. Same with Chelsea when they won the CL in 2012. To this day, DiMatteo has no idea how the hell he made it through the last 3 games.
+lazios I agree that tiki taka is a very boring style of play. Who wants to see 90 minutes of defensive midfielders passing the ball around? Tiki taka is a safe style of play completely devoid of risk (and therefore is also quite effective), but it makes the game seem much slower and less competitive. Just look at Spain in the 2010 World Cup. They won, but they played some of the most mind-numbing football I have ever seen. I care primarily about how entertaining football is, so I prefer faster games that often have more goals.
+Basan Basan I disagree. Guardiola's system is actually pretty weak defensively, primarily due to his insistence on playing out of the back. At Barcelona and Bayern, the players had the individual quality to make this risky style of play work. But at Man City, where the players aren't quite as good, you can see clear defensive vulnerabilities. So I guess you could say tiki taka is an ideal defensive system if the players can win basically every one on one situation, but that doesn't happen very often. Only the best players in the world can regularly perform at this level.
+Basan Basan You do realize that Guardiola teams rely heavily on pressing, right? So first you said Guardiola made football more interesting, but then you said pressing lowers the quality of matches. So you're saying Guardiola's style of play is simultaneously interesting but also bad in terms of quality? That doesn't really make sense.
Personally, I actually don't mind certain kinds of pressing. It's a very active form of defense and it increases the pace of the game. It counters slow, boring, possession-based football quite well. And like you said, it leads to more counterattacks, which are often very entertaining to watch. I suppose it is a bit risky, though, so it's not necessarily the safest defensive strategy.
these are the soo good. im suprised you guys dont have enough subs
Thanks Stebin. We are slowly building up :)
you're definitely gonna rise in popularity soon
Jose, your teams are all diving bastards.
it's a bilateral thing with jose you know
Look at what 4 years of consistent work can do
Brilliantly portrayed and explained. Well done co-operating with Jonathan Wilson, and using "Inverting the Pyramid". There are a lot of hidden gems there.
You guys have been doing brilliant work overall, keep it up.
Good work as usual! Thought I knew about football but I guess I have a lot to learn still and that's why I love this channel.
Quality stuff mate. That's what we aim for so it's great that you're taking so much away from the channel!
Why do you think Conte is dominating the premier league with Chelsea? He resurrected Catenaccio, which was commonplace in Italian football in the 90's (when Conte was a player) and has implemented an upgraded, tweaked take on it in modern times with Juventus, Italy and Chelsea. When done right its hard to beat.
Wow, there's a lot of misconceptions in this post.
Catenaccio was common in Italy During the '60s and the '70s, absolutely not in the '90s.
Italian footbal changed skin during the '80s, especially after the rise of Sacchi's Ac Milan.
With a LOT of pressing and attacking.
But never let facts get into the head of people replacing beatifully rooted prejudices.
Enrico Gherardo
Yeah I meant 80’s, not 90’s. My mistake.
@@TheLeoBianco1 its still wrong though, catenaccio wasnt 'common' in the 80's
@@nemesko3799
“Zona mista” often referred to as Gioco all'italiana ("The Game in the Italian Style"), is a tactic used in Italian association football mainly from the second half of 1970s to the mid-1990s.
The introduction of this system has been attributed to Luigi Radice and Giovanni Trapattoni, then coaches of Torino and Juventus, respectively. The tactic reached the highest sporting level with Trapattoni's Juventus becoming the first club in history to reach the European Treble having won the three seasonal UEFA competitions.
Regarded as the tactical evolution of catenaccio, zona mista requires each outfield player to perform, systematically and simultaneously, zonal marking, the changing of positions and continuous attack on the spaces characteristic of totaalvoetbal, but also engaging in the defensive individual marking characteristic of Italian football.
The Italian tactic came to dominate national football in the late 1970s and early 1980s and reached its height with the highly successful Giovanni Trapattoni's Juventus and the Italian national team coached by Enzo Bearzot,[mostly in their victory in the 1982 FIFA World Cup.
Its popularity, however, eventually led to its undoing as Italian teams became predictable. Ernst Happel's Hamburg would expose some of the predictability of the style against Juventus with a defensive approach in the 1983 European Champions' Cup Final.[
However, the Torinese side continued to employ this tactic system with great success over the next decade under the management of Trapattoni and his former goalkeeper Dino Zoff.
Good try, but wrong on all counts! Conte as a footballer never experienced catenaccio or anything close.
Hi ! I am just from Geneva and Servette Fan, and I am proud that we are the club who launched such an important approach to our beautiful game. Thank for the video btw !
You guys are too good.....please continue making videos explaining different such tactics
what about the role of 'Libero'? was that a part of catenaccio?
yes, the libero was part of the catenaccio. It was the leader of the defence, the 'last man' before the goalkeeper. Libero means 'free', because he could free himself of the position he was playing to defend against the attacking player
the libero is no longer used in modern football however
there was a lot of libero aka sweeper roles in past years, vidal, schweinsteiger, david luiz, bonucci and derossi all played libero from time to time, but ofc its not same when fullbacks now all run to attack and there is no one to defend :D
Armando Picchi was Herrera's 'libero' at Inter...he was the bedrock of the team
deni sherlock yes
Loving these tactic videos. Hope there's more to come! You guys have earned a subscribe from me on the basis of your quality!
Thank you very much!
What a great video ! So many more clips for me to see down here. Good knowledge and great form. Maybe one day you could do a video about any Polish footballer or historical Polish successes ? Our national football team is really good recently (for the first time in my life!) and there are many talented players in best leagues now. Greetings from Gdansk !
Rip to your mayor
love this channel....I got so much knowledge about football at many aspects.
Love these videos. Informative content, and all this done within a space of few minutes. Jonathan Wilson and Joe Devine, thanks.
Thank you!
Another epic video. It's a shame you guys don't have more subs.
It's all good when we have quality viewers such as yourelf
uMAXit Football lol your elf😂😂😂
uMAXit Football get a room guys
Top notch videos. This channel is so underrated!
I love the white board feature.. Informative.. unbiased... Keep em coming you guys have a real winner here!!
We have plenty more to come!
Best CZcams channel for football loving fans. Informative, unbiased, with real analysis and conclusions based on fact. Far superior in content and quality compared to what we see from most of the football websites put out there these days. Keep up the good work! This is how football fans should be taught to learn and discuss about everything pertaining to the sport. Thank you!
NB: a tactical analysis of specific matches and how managers set their teams up to counter the opposition would be fantastic.
This is undoubtedly my favorite CZcams channel
Thanks for the kind words. It's why we do it! - Sam
thoroughly love these episodes and love Jonathan Wilsons writing
The writing is top drawer. Thank you very much!
Your handwriting and underlining are really neat. You draw a very straight line.
Excellently accurate and visually eye-catching stuff . Thank you .
fast becoming my favourite channel in CZcams keep at it lads
Kavi, you're a gem.
How did i just find out about these videos ?? BRILLIANT!!
You guys are doing a great job. Keep these coming!
Appreciate it Naku!
great videos you should definitely do more of the tactical videos, maybe start analyzing matches in this way it would be great
Excellent channel, great videos done very well! Thanks for sharing
Massive fan of these type of videos , and especially of "these" type - that explains tactic - like the previous video on Gegenpressing.
The guy who does the animations - plz give that guy a cookie!!!🍪
I'll bake him one myself.
thank you 😁
Great video on the history of this role! Would like to see more roles being explored in the future! :)
This is outstanding. This channel is brilliant.
Another quality video from you guys... make more videos on managers and their style of play...
Very good series. I think this channel can become one of the bigger football channels.
We hope you're right sir!
Really well done guys! Bravo.
These are great. What would be ace would be detailed explanations of various niche player roles such as the Libero, Trequartista or Llegada.
Either way, keep up the awesome work!
Great idea. Thank you mate!
Add Regista to it .
Ankan Bose added haha
Trying to figure out these terms led me to this channel. I’m learning so much. Thank you.
Wow i can see how this has influenced italian football with the likes of conte and mazzarri using the 352
And how can you see it? The concepts behind Conte 3-5-2 are completely different from the classic 3-5-2 used by low quality teams in Italy (and more similar to catenaccio) since the 80s.
really miss those defensive fullbacks who dont run to attack and leave 1 or 2 defenders to defend if team loose ball.... like we see today in almost every team..... italy always had best defence and best defenders and catenaccio was thier greatest years if we look in football defence history
MindaugasLegend nowadays there are wing backs which leaves gaps and puts a lot of pressure on 2 central defenders to defend.
It’s called entertaining football, it’s the correct way to play
@@joshualock6998I don't remember there is a certain "correct" way to play football. You can do anything on the field as long as you obey all the football rules. Your fans eventually want you to win.
Okay that did it this is officially the best explainer Tifo did made. 🎩
Herrera, like Mourinho, is unfairly maligned. His time at Barca, like Josè’s at Madrid, demonstrate an ability to be tactically fluid depending on need.
reading a book about history of my fav team:Inter Milan I learn that the meaning why 'CATENACCIO' became in vogue in Italy it was because the extreme high gap beetwen the top Clubs of Italian League (Serie A) and 'little' Clubs: the only way to contrast Italians giants by the poorest teams was this defence tactic. By the way, tiki taka it's a defence tactic as well: get the possession of the ball for the most of the time riduce risk to suffer goals...
Please make more. U guys are inspiring and awesome.
Thank you very much! During November we should have a few more than usual going up so keep your eyes peeled.
uMAXit Football if possible, a few more vids about Arsenal please :) Much appreciated.

First heard it in Inezuma eleven. "Catenacio counter" used by Italy. I forgot how japan beat them.
Kidou was able to tell opponent's movement. So simple dribbling 😉
@@md.golammusabbirjoy9469 yahh illusion Ball 😂
These are amazing!
Catenaccio deserves more than 3 minutes, that was not enough. Also, Nereo Rocco won the champions league with Milan two times, 1963 and 1969, not only 1963. Waiting for a video about Capello's tactics.
I think this tactic 07/08 alex ferguson, used. Your videos are epic
Shows how much football evolved what is conventional today like playing a back 4 or midfield 3 was innovative
Check out The Bolt System from Switzerland used prior to Total defence

Got Jonathan's book Inverting the Pyramid for Christmas! Very good read so far
I learnt this one from you guys... "The perfect football game would end 0-0". However u entertaining its true. There should be less negative connotations concerning defensive football. All great teams like all great militaries are built on a solid and reliable defensive core. Funnily enough, the 2009-10 Internazionale Milano team that won the treble and UCL was the finest I've ever seen assembled. Them, United 99 and England 66 of course 😊 And it mainly worked so well due to its defensive spine. Maicon, Lucio, Samuel, Zanetti and Cambiasso are true legends of defence. Its what allowed Eto'o and Sneijder to thrive up front. Defence is not the eviction of attack, it is the house of the attack. It is not the enemy, but the basis, not the demolition plans but the groundwork for the architecture of the attack.
Your videos are the best, believe me
The thing is the great italian team would play lovley attacking football until they sofer 1 or two goals, in which they would result to catenaccio, lovley defensive football
Great great great, I think greatness became ur standard 💪🏻🔥
this is a good video, but in Italy Annibale Frossi (hero of the 1936 Olympics, played with glasses, turned successful coach) is also given credit for developing it further around 1950.
I hope you'll understand what I write, despite my eng (sorry) because the topic interests me; ok, I try to say my opinion now.
You explained the "catenaccio" history but the point I want to talk is another, and it's about italian football (in general) and the national team, because I don't know why (no knowledge? Maybe young age?) but many people don't know what they're talking about.
The italian national teams never did the "catenaccio" as you understand it (you call it "parking the bus" right?) but another thing.
The italian traditional football it's very simple but hard to do at the same time; defense and fast counterattack (exactly what Klopp's Liverpool do now for example), it could be said that it's the opposite of the Spain game philosophy (to better understand; the tiki-taka by Guardiola).
But let's get to the point; really you can define one good and the other bad? In my opinion the answer is NO, are simply different philosophies and each of the two can be beautiful and winning, or boring and losing.
If you don't have players as Xavi and Iniesta the so-called "tiki-taka" it's ugly and boring to watch, minutes and minutes of ball possession without ever verticalizing and/or shooting on goal, this is beautiful football? I have many doubts.
In the same way if the "italian style" becomes defense, defense and defense again (that's the catenaccio who you intend) the game is boring and even uglier than bad tiki-taka.
I want to make an example now talking about the Mancini's national team (to explain my football vision); this team plays very well, does ball possession and creates many scoring chances but what are the points? The first is that scores few goals and the second (most important for me and I believe any italian) is that if this team wins nothing, to nobody will give a damn about "the good play or the ball possession" because football it's other than this stats; who scores more than the opponent wins (not who has 70% of ball possession).
I am old, and I remember the 1982 italian national team, they scoring goals in 3 passes and fews seconds (who thinks it's easy, have no idea what football is), that team had more technique than 90% of the today teams (the so-called "tiki taka" or others) and were much fun to watching also, they defeated the Maradona's Argentina team first, and after one of the best Brazil team ever (with players like Zico, Socrates, Eder, Falcao etc).
They played "all'italiana" (italian), so not catenaccio or ball possession but individual technique, tactical application, defense, fast counterattack and goal; that's the italian football.
I add one last thing (sorry for the length of this kind of poem); football is a simple game, useless try to complicate it.
Great work. Im new to the channel, do you have a video on what brought the 1970s Brazil so much success.
2-3-5 sounds fun :)
This is a quality channel, anyone that likes footie should be subbing to this channel
Thanks for the kind words Mike! - Danny
Do you have any videos on a more traditional Canadian style , aka sweeper stopper ??
I was just reading about this recently from a book. At first it was a genius way to get around tough opponents, then it got bastardized. Like many things in life.
killercaos123 explained????
The matter why catenaccio was improved in Italy it's because the high gap from giants italian league Serie A teams and little team. These ones started to adopted Catenaccio.
I'm vibin on this music UuU
hey love your work Joe! just wondering where do you get the background music that you play in the videos? Cheers!
Cheers man! There's a link to the song in ever video down below
uMAXit Football oh great I'll check it out... keep up the good work!
Hey @tifofootball bayern used this system of football thus season with a small upgrade of the positioning versatility of the team.
the bolt is the same as the libero? or libero is only when to got two stoppers too?
Do Total Football explained please. Much appreciated
Is there any place online where I can watch old games to see stuff like catenaccio in action?
So good
the librero is basically a full back in rugby
I had no idea what was going on when I heard the seagull noise.
Can you do one on Jock Stein's Celtic or Alex Ferguson's Aberdeen?

Thank you Dario
Forza catenaccio!
NICE
Can you do Tiki-Taka and Total Football aswell?
Jose uses a similar system as Herrera's Inter at United, does he not?
I thought the Catenaccio was developed as a response to the 1925 offside rule change?
Conte vs Spurs yesterday
Nice
Can you write to top or mid of the screen? I use substitles, it makes watching the video harder for me.
Can you explain Luis Enrique's Barca? Actually very interesting to compare it to Guardiola s Barca
Lucho barca is little more attacking as compared to Pep and also counter attacking... There is not very much difference btw coz barca style of playing will always remain possesion....
Nayyar Iqbal ya but we have a solid 10-15% less when we play against bigger clubs. also the role of the midfielders changed quite a bit. And Leo and Ney do much more work than before on defense
Exactly the reason for that brother is Coz both dani alves and xavi are gone they very integral part in playmaking and their chemistry with messi inesta and busquests was breathtaking ... Inesta is getting older and Right now neymar is creating and playmaking thats the reason messi is scoring soo much.....
But we need a worldclass midfielder coz what dont have that much depth in our squad...
We are losing possesion soomuch now
