Is the Jose Mourinho effect starting to show at Tottenham Hotspur? Jose has turned Spurs into a proficient counter-attacking machine.
How has he done it? How has he turned a team that was reliant on progressive build up under Pochettino into a decisive counter-attacking unit?
Seb Stafford-Bloor explains.

#Spurs #Tottenham #THFC - Sport
I personally think that Mou's assistant doesn't get much credit
exactly, in the documentary is clearly seen how much work assistants do
Sacramento defiantly has the minerals to become a class manager one day
Look at my pfp .
Exactly, Sacramento is a prodigy, he's a genius in the making
@@zaidanesem6635 Yh he will make a great coach driver
About time as well Tifo, watching this Spurs team week in week out you realize it's more than just a 'park the bus'.
Indeed. Tottenham are the 3rd highest scoring team in the league. They are ruthless in attack and solid at the back. A potent combination.
Exactly. The intensity of the midfield is extraordinary. Sisokko. Hojbjerg and Ndombele work rate is insane.
Hojbjerg and Ndombele are very skillful as well as physical. And I feel like Bergwin's work rate goes unnoticed
@@brandonayong5823 you are exactly on point. Especially Bergwign I believe deserves more respect. Bale could never do the defending for the team that Stevie is doing rn
@@annsmahboob3495 as a Real Madrid fan, the only thing he did well for the last 2 years is track back and put in good defensive shifts helping out Carvajal lol
I hope you guys keep him xD
@@vishalvarier5397 thereâs a reason mourinho wanted him people forget he used to be a left back thatâs why his defending is so good
Joseâs tactics might not be the prettiest but they fit this season
What? His Madrid side was beautiful to watch
It's just that his style is more direct
Its so beautiful fast pass and quick decision making from his player is a beauty
better than moneyolas boring passing football.
What about the next season?
Oh yes I Forgot city going to spend 1 billion.
Jose and Joao is making things happened in Spurs. Love how they revolutioned Kaneâs role on the pitch, heâs making all players willing to defend and track back and not concede goals.
It's more than a counter attack, it's a masterclass by Mourinho. He is never finished. The special one for a reason.
He is a legend, but just like Ancelotti, theyâre wasting their time coaching teams that wonât win shit. Thatâs a shame.
Lol, that time is gone, heâs trash now days
Rightio
@@azac9627 So whatâs your point, and how does it have anything to do with mine?
How did it end đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
What José has done to this team in one year is nothing short of amazing. This man has quietly taken a defenseless roster without a direction and turned them into his ideal soldiers. Everyone has fallen in line. They believe in his philosophy, and it shows. Legend.
it is commendable. I also think Jose was very smart taking this job. Hjojberg and Reguilon have been important additions. Bergwijn gives them a good option. But beyond this spurs already had everything under Poch. What Poch built reached its peak with erisken, Jan and Toby all reaching the end but he also had another proper core maturing that is now in its peak and Jose has added to it. Lloris Moura Kane Son Lamela Dier Aurier. Ndomble and Lo celso have settled after bumps, and Jose has gotten 3 very important players in bergwijn Hjojberg and reguilon. It's crazy how after all these years Spurs had the conditions most suitable to Mourinho doing his thing. It's great to see.
These comments aged like a fine wine
@@dom6002 thats what happens when levy is in charge
Everyone including me was saying ohhh he's done đđrecent bias is such a great thing .
Son was the perfect player for a mourinho's side.
Mourinho gonna come on top today, man is finally gonna get the respect he deserves back after ManU cruel departure of him. Take in Mourinho has made history in every club he has been, with the most successful with us at Porto. A couple of years from now, he'll be training Portugal he said but only when he's ready, and feels the time is right. The Special one, Mourinho the legend. Revolutionized futebol forever, with his tactics.
Didnt age too well
@@doggerlander to think they were top of table in january đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł....
They have also started well this year too....
But they are gonna bottle it again.
Klopp's pressing and Pep's possession was often hailed as the 2 major streams of football over the past decade. Would love to see a direct style of football becoming the 3rd pillar under Jose.
Bayern have all 3: Pressing, possession and direct football
@@oddcoyote2598 at full strength,no team can actually compare to this bayern team. I feel it is better than peak Barcelona .Dont know why enough ppl dont speak about this. Havenât seen so many options available to progress play In a single team.
@@adelror3026 bayern is in another level .they play bad against noob teams but against op teams they r too good.
@@adelror3026 prime barca will floor them. Why even 2013 Bayern would win against this Bayern side
@@purushothaman6698 donât think so. The tiki taka which Barca used to enjoy so much wouldnât have been possible in the face of the physically aggressive,high pressing football which bayern plays now.Centre backs is an issue but this bayern would easily outscore them.
I swear everytime I watch a tifo video I think now how can I incorporate this into my fm save
Hope so it ages well..tonight đđ ...saying this after seeing chelsea video
Chelsea was a huge disappointment yesterday I was super pissed at the stupid static he wanted to implement
He could have played 4-4-2
The regular 4 at the back with Kant at the dm position kovacic and mount playing 8 havertz as 10( after all that is his preferred position) with giroud and timo playing As strike and a false 9
Still do not understand why why he had to just overload the left like as if wolves were fool and wonât prepare for it after first half if you donât have a winger donât play with the intention of it there will always be mistakes
Lampard caused Chelsea that ball he couldnât adapt he was rely on wolves been foolish like him
@@taoriq3632 i think lampard is obssesed with playing 2 wingers. And with ziyech injured its not working
@@yateendradwivedi3905 that is what I am saying he could have just bust open wolves defense with other options but he a stubborn man can not adapt he saw what happens with everton he could have just played another formation to test out after all this 4-3-3 he so much love he came about with trials and error after implementing various tactics before the kranadours game and it worked I am sure as hell if he had used 4-4-2 he would have achieved something better as wolves defense wasnât that great it was like a net with hole in it
@@taoriq3632 are u talking about diamond midfield with 4-4-2 or the conventional 4-4-2 which occupies wide wingers as part of midfield?!
Look at my pfp .
I was working but this seemed more important
Klopp 30 minutes before the match: WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN!!
Jose is one of the most smartest coach the world has ever seen.
This spurs is just too good. The tactics are so fantastic. If Spurs win the pl or cl then is undoubtedly Jose is GOAT coach
@@RafsanS15 He said one of
Great video as always!
This video is pure gold. About time!
Beautiful crafted video analysis
Thanks for the jinx, much appreciated!
Another fantastic analysis, thank you Tifo Football! If you end up writing a tactics book, I'd buy it!
Finally he moved from the bus to a jet plane, I love watching Spurs in fact I have stopped watching matches of United and City and I watch Spurs more these days.
Our passing has been terrible lately. I don't understand why we don't consistently play through the midfield. (I'm talking most of the game here not just when we score). We try to play Aurier and Sergio as if they're TAA and Roberson.
Hahahhaah jet plane sure
@@grizzlyboys3234 give credit to Aurier though. He's excellent going foward (terrible at defence though)
does he only park bus when up by 2? it seems that he likes that number. if he's up by 2 he feels he has the game in the bag.
Look at my pfp .
Yes I was waiting for this one!
Well this aged spectacularly well.
These vids are on point.
If anyone can help spurs win trophies itâs jose
I sink dis is troo
Great video thumbs up
Hope tifo can make a video about my hometown club BodĂž/Glimt. They been one of the best team in Europe this season with a record breaking goals and points in the Norwegian Eliteserien. Almost got relegated two season ago and have won the league this season. I live like 5mins away from the stadium. It could be Nice . Thanks
How can you be this charismatic and awsome whilst talking about football! Keep up the good work maman.
Fantastic analysis.
Background score is awesome btw âșïžđ
damn tifo is just quality
This did NOT age well lmao
Love this channel
Been really impressed with JosĂš. A fan since day 1
good analysis mate. i think this also explains why liverpool have been struggling - too predictable front 3. until jota came along. we all know what salah, mane and firmino are gonna do. every single defender have studied how to stop them.
This video analysis was short, sharp, and accurate, just like Spurs' tactics.
Yes well said, the key is his sophisticated tactical periodisation to make his real thing happen.
The problem is, media became unitary in the way that it projected press & pass as the only good way of playing football! His direct, counter attacking football is a beauty in it self. Just 3-4 passes to goal makes it look so simple that people forget the fact thatâs a tactical juggernaut of a system to organise with many moving parts. Simply brilliant!
Always been a big fan of Lucas Moura because of how direct he is. Good old-fashioned winger who takes on the defender with jets in his heels
Firmino đ„
Can you guys do a bit on Bayer Leverkusen? Top of the league, battling for the title against Bayern with a much smaller budget, along with being undefeated! I think itâd be a great piece!
Mourinhoâs Real Madrid sides were the most electric and fun to watch counter attacking teams with ronaldo, ozil, di maria and benzema and while im a liverpool supporter i also quite like mourinho and spurs so im happy to watch him recreate that side with spurs
COYS
Wow, the way Tifo described these tactics, these Tottenham players will be knackered by the end of the season.
That is why they don't press intensely. They conserve energy to attack
@@Timbone07 Thanks for that. What would concern me is the constant having to run length of the field at pace to score most of their goals. Kane seems to have to do a lot of defending. I suppose Tottenham have to try a different path if they want to win trophies.
@@BurnsTennis Their defense is not that good.
Even Lloris can be suspect eg at Palace recently.
Just like at my club, Man United.. Jose gets the defense and goalkeeper to overchieve
The master of parking the bus vs the masters of breaking the bus.Liverpool vs Tottenham is going to be a great watch!
Breaking the bus???? Hmm dont remember against atleticođ€đ
@@Gul-jj4wx Liverpool's tactics are supposed to work well against parking the bus. Against Athletico, they were way too overconfident.
@@Gul-jj4wx hahađ-as a United fan I have to admit they are normally quite good at breaking down teams.Letâs hope Jose does what he did at Anfield a few years back and outclass them.
@@Gul-jj4wx did you see how Liverpool conceded the first goal.. the absolute numbnut of a goalkeeper cost Liverpool the match.
@@eriktenhag2022 how about Fulham bus. Liverpool can't got a goal so they diving for a penalty đ đłoops
Being utd fan i want spurs to win the league so that people get to know that Jose was not at fault when he was at United rather the problem lies at the board and there inactivity in transfer market.
Not to mention the existance of pogba and martial
Itâs both, mourinho canât be successful for more than 2 seasons and he leaves the team in a worse state but the board is awful
Definitely prefer this format
The impact King has had becoming defensive coach is pretty impressive . You can definitely see a difference... and considering we've converted dier to CB as a starter.
Finally back to this format, in fact a new and improved one might I add
Son looks so gd in this drawing lol
The biggest changest change I've noticed is that each player is a lot more technically proficient ...(including Sissoko lol) particularly with their first touch, passing accuracy and shooting abilty. These are basic things that Spurs' two previous managers overlooked.
To me a high standard of techinical ability is way more attractive to watch than running really fast and attacking.
Psychologically and tactically each player has a lot more awareness as well which pushes their game to a higher level.
The Tifo Curse strkes again?

Who will Tifo hit next?
Bayern Munich
Finally someone gave jose the highest status in history
Sonny đ„đ„đ„ absolutely world class
Is the fur Elise playing in the background?
Yes
This is the very type of football Klopp came with at Liverpool quick transition of the ball and heavy metal football chasing the ball with pressing tight but Kloop realized you can't play all season like that , the players get burned out hence collapsing or decline in energy levels toward the end of the season, we saw it when Liverpool reached the Champions league final with Real Madrid, they almost failed to finish in top four till the last match
@TIFO - When will we see some tactical analysis on Pirlo's Juventus?? very interesting things happening there!
Masterclass Jose
Hi Tifo, could you make a video on Leeds preference for left footed attackers ?
Jose will always sets up his teams in a certain way. Spurs can win the EPL and another Trophy.
This is exactly what Ole gunnar Solskjaer trying to build with his Man United but people says he's clueless and called Mourinho "just park the bus" manager. Counter attacking goal is the most exciting and pleasing goal to watch as fans.
loved it
I watch in awe these drawings like I would a car crash. I know I shouldnât but I canât take my eyes off of it.
"When you are not the best team, you have to be more strategic than philosopher" - Mourinho
His team, looking at each player is undoubtly among the best this season.
@@Lions4322 because of how he gave them defined roles.
Manchester United has more talent across the board than Spurs but see how they play.
@@coachhbosoccer
I'm doubtful of that. Manchester United has a good team, no doubt, but they have other fundamental problems that Mourinho himself couldn't solve. Of course, we're not comparing SolskjĂŠr to Mourinho as that comparison isn't even necessary.
I called this back when they signed Bale on loan. Mou is basically trying to build his Madrid side 2.0
Son in the Ronaldo role of winger who cuts inside to score many goals
Kane is both Benzema and Ozil
Dele as Kaka, the creative player that becomes Mou's sacrificial lamb
If Bale finds his form, we could be seeing the Prem version of the BBC
Iâd really like to see JosĂ© win the league with Spurs, I think they both deserve that. đ
I wanna see this on all or nothing season 2 Spurs
I disagree about the part where you mention that Mourinho has a "Relatively laissez-faire approach to attacking play". Laissez-faire essentially means letting things take their own course without interruption. We all know mourinho is a very exacting manager. Certainly he's the opposite of laissez-faire. If any, Arsene Wenger's approach seems a bit lassiez-faire.
The only thing I don't like about them is like in this weekend, they took a 1 goal lead and decided it was enough, which wasn't.
Wrong. The Crystal Palace goalkeeper was the Man of the Match. That says it all about how attacking Tottenham were. Update your narrative.
Give Mourinho players with heart and he will win any competition his team are in.
Eg inter milan and Porto
The greatest tactician in the morden era of the game
Savage Jose đ„
Jose Mourinho football tactics is simply effective if the players sticks to him, if others, his tactics didn't work. What i mean "sticks" is, the players tend to sacrifice his skills and personal for the sake of Jose Mourinho tactics and work ethic.
Bruh that Jose mourinho has a very haunting quality
Please do a video on Pirloâs Juve
Jose is the special one
Mourinhoâs perfect for Spurs, and part of it is because of his similarities to Pochettino.
- Poch borrows tactical periodization training techniques from José.
- Poch emphasized positional interchanges between the front four of Dele, Eriksen, Son, and Kane.
- Under Pochettino, many of our goals came from pulling the last line of defense and picking players out in the pockets of space left, which is what we do under José now.
I hope there is also explanation about there defences tactics
Torino's Andrea Belotti to Wolves Tifo! In-depth video on this goal machine please :-)
I miss these animated ones more and more every day
I tend to think that possession is a most misleading statistic in terms of understanding what actually happened in a game. I've seen this with another defensively solid counter-attacking team, Atletico, who often allow their opponents to play around with the ball, but it's really Atleti who are in control (not the case against Real on the weekend where Real always seemed in control) . It's such a transformation for Tottenham who always seemed vulnerable at the back,, however exciting they might be going forward.
Can you do a video on what is going wrong at Arsenal?
Can you do lopetegui and Sevilla???.
Mourinho has always been known for his counter attack tactics. Been like that since his time at Madrid
*Jurgen Kloop writing notes down viciously for the game today*
Video on tactical periodisation?
The last time I was this early,NL was still red.
2009 i see
@@suuuuuuuu124 đmore like 2004
Would not be possible. CZcams was not invented by then.
this isnt related to the video, but i'd like to see your thoughts on the champions league draw please
City at last got a easy draw this season just like ...last year ,.....the year before that and ............ the year before that
@@vaibhavtripathi2440 what are you implying?
@@samratch that they get pretty easy draws every season yet fail to make the final. I mean look at the groups theyâve been in, whereas Liverpool have face Napoli and PSG in the same group, United and Leipzig and PSG, City really do have it easy in the champions league
@@mclovinjr9086 ngl City has arguably the best squad but they lack consistency
@@samratch yeh in the PL City and Liverpool have equally good starting 11s but Citys bench has way more quality. Only Bayern has a stronger squad than City rn I think
Correction: lamela is for occasions when u need a penalty. Aka the dive specialist
HĂ„land and Mou together would be... chefâs kiss.
he would tell haaland to hold back and sub him out no doubt
Every team you make a video about loses the game they have that day please make a united video tomorrow
1:00, I see that this vid tried to make it more than Son & Kane. Well, I hope the others can, indeed, step up and score more!
What Tifo is saying is theory, if you want to see the perfected version of this go checkout mou's Madrid 2011-2012
True! But problem is, they're Willing to soak in more pressure than they can contain. It's like saying we give Liverpool 100 halfchances so we can get a better xG from the Counter. No way are Quality opponents missing more than 6 halfchances, but in a way Spurs Will miss with an xG of 1.99 then rant they were Better
Wonder how you implement this tactical setup: counter attacking into FMM 2021 / FM 2021 haha
Can You do a video on Jose parking the bus in the last 3 games?? hahahahaha
And still some people calls Mourinho's style "park the bus". Stupid peasants. Spurs are playing some fantastic football this season, but you need a foodball-brain to understand that. I really do hope they win some silverware with this team and manager - they sure do deserve it.
What is the difference between his tactics at spurs and when he was at chelsea and man utd
From tifo explanations. This extreme counter attacking requires all defend all attack workload. Not all "star" players are willing to do it. Or have the ability to do it.
Back in the chelsea days. Even Terry had shoot and score some goals
@No dramas
Like inter milan team who won the treble with Mourinho as their manager.
That semi final win against Barcelona in 2 legs was one of the best tactical matches I've ever seen
Difference: Mou's Chelsea started the attack from Hazard and Cesc to the wingers and Diego Costa. It's basically Madrid but with beast mode Benzema and without CR7. Mou's MU uses the luxury option of Pogba and Ibra to distract and made the not-luxury option of Fellaini to run and creating some space. Lack of chemistry hindered the chances and creating errors.
Similarity: Mou loves Maicon. That's why he wanted and tried to have box-to-box player like Marcelo, Azpi, Shaw, and most likely Reguilon now
@@bipee3937 but why can't manager use the same tactics from when jose was at man utd and chelsea when playing spurs?
@@benharrington4332 Did you mean that no managers have similar tactics like Jose Mourinho?
In English no. But in Italy or Dutch, yes some had similar tactics.
.
Mourinho base tactics is the famous Italian Catenaccio. Then he develops it into Dutch Total Football. The Catenaccio is rock solid defense with deadly counter. The Total Football is the All Attack All Defense style.
That is why he needs more time to develop his team.
His players also required to have excellent work ethics and desire to win (this desire always declining as his team wins more matches), something he really needs to find solutions if he ever wants to manage like Sir Alex or Arsene.
Hey Sir Mou. If you ever read this. Maybe you could find more ways to motivate players to work hard. That Ham bet is a good start...
Park the bus against the big guns.. Play with a bit more adventure against the minnows.. The counter attacking system has worked perfectly so far.. It's Trade mark Mourinho...
I wonder if it'll work in the long run though..Especially when certain mid table teams visit Spurs with their own defensive formation...
But counter attacks style increases injury, this makes team priditable when some players get injured, bale has injury issues
