Was 4-4-2 even mentioned, probably the most used formation ever and arguably the most dominant, it even won Leicester the league last season.
Yeah my thoughts exactly. Seems an outright sin not to mention it.
4-4-2 is when you are trying to make all of the areas of the field covered by your players using 4-3-3 but then you fuck up and start defending more
not to mention even atletico madrid's tactical success under Simeone with the 4-4-2
Eliad Eyar no it's not. 4-4-2 has two wingers or wide players playing in the midfield 4, with two genuine strikers playing ahead of them. This is considered a more defensive and solid approach.
4-3-3 you essentially play 1 genuine striker flanked by two forwards/wingers on either side. In the midfield ideally you play 3 central midfielders one defensive, one box to box and one attacking. This formation is used for more fluidity and pace in the attack making it a very offensive formation.
A 4-3-3 that fucks up and needs to defend as you say would become a 4-5-1, a formation Mourinho is accustomed to.
+Eliad Eyar No way. It allows you to spread the field, give your strikers room to run, and take pressure off a single striker as you see in a lone striker formation (so boring). You only play two center mids which allow your outside mids to function as wingers, and if the CM sit back a beat, the winger can cut to the middle almost as if he's a CAM.
While this video was made before Leicester City won the league (which is why they obviously weren't included) the Foxes employed these aspects of the 4-4-2 but then also added the pressing attackers to turn the ball over in the attacking third. Shinji Okazaki was massively overrated for this; he floored it for 65-75 minutes a match, constantly pressing the ball then let Leonardo Ulloa come in to continue the press but also give the added bonus of being able to defend in the middle of the field, like a CM. Leicester resembled Total Football +Catenaccio with wingbacks who push forward & lots of overlapping and position versatility.
Manuel Neuer will start a team that plays the goalkeeper in the middle of the feild and has defenders that support him
😂😂😂
higuita already did it
David Morales 😂😂
David Morales lmao
David Morales 😂 Thiago mottas actually doing that now
You went straight from 1982 to Pep's Barca.
You missed out the rise of the seemingly unbeatable 4-4-2, and Mourinho's Chelsea 4-3-3, and even Ferguson's Man Utd 4-1-5 formation
Zsht you can't say "seemingly unbeatable", It's not like only one team was allowed to use it
So Ferguson had 1 less player
Actually most notable here missed is Arrigo Sachchi's AC Milan. His compactness & offside traps
@@lalboimanlun1230 only when Webb retired
The 5-5-1 will be the future. Keeper playing both the striking and keeper roles.
Manuel Neuer…
Niklas Kray Don't you mean Rene Higuita ?
Jesus A And Neuer will be mark as the new generation of goalkeepers.
Jesus A
mosara3a
There's already a new formation it's the 11-0-0 more commonly known as parking the bus.
mou is the master at that.
10*-0-0, gks arent counted in formations
+TechGuy856 refs are :)
xD
thats a great tactic
Being a keeper in the 1920s would have been a right pain in the ass
+LUFC Holmesy A bit like a handball keeper
Back then, Pass-backs were allowed. It made it a bit easier on the goalkeeper. They scrapped it about 30-40 years ago because it was too defensive and boring.
+Tombo They scrapped it in 1992
+Tombo the ball would kill your hands if it came to you!
I was a goalkeeper in the 1920s
the difference between modern formations and old formations are that in modern formations there are differences in defense and attack while in old times the roles were defined in defensive and attacking positions. For instance, an old 4-3-3 consisted on 3 players waiting on the offside line. Now a 4-3-3 is a 2-3-5 in attack and a 4-5-1 in defense. In 50 years player have come to cover a distance 3 times longer run on the pitch in 90 minutes. In old times they ran 3 kilometres; now they cover easily 10 km in a match. See the difference?

Alexander Thompson
so when was 4-4-2? I mean that is "the default" right?
theIcyToad most dominant in the 90s and 00s.
I think after the 2006 world cup there was a new fashion for 4-5-1. A lot of teams began to use one striker in the box and a second fake forward in midfield.
ah yes, the infamous false 9
theIcyToad A false nine would imply the non-use of a traditional striker, yet in the 4-5-1 here it's more of a second striker style
***** It's never left, at least in the lower leagues. You see a lot of pacy wingers, attacking fullbacks, and target men, all with suspect first touches -- 4-4-2 maximises the number of crosses, and heads to meet those crosses. It's only when you come up against teams well-drilled and inventive enough to make other formations effective that it falls apart. I've seen a few smaller teams attempt tiki-taka, for instance, but as soon as the pass completion falls below 90-something % it falls apart completely.
4-2-3-1 is mainstream right now
BetterCallSaul its the future of football
BetterCallSaul I wonder why ? Because it's perfect!
Sitamshu Marhatta Yeah because the talent of the clubs had nothing to do with that !
Alex Yanakiev The tactical setup has to fit the strengths and weaknesses of the players.
If I'm not wrong, this new fashion began after 2006 world cup, one striker in the box and a second fake forward in midfield.
Really love this video I wanna see more stuff like this
Jerado Taylor glad you liked it mate :)
What about Herrera's catenaccio
You guys are perfect for each other.
Hi
Jerado Taylor
What about four four fucking two?
You mean the formation that just won the Premier League? This video was made 1 year too soon I guess...
Nyku Also the formation that Utd dominated the 90's with.
I was in fact just joking and making a Mike Basset England manager reference.
united? lol
because of sacchi's milan that formation became so popular
not to mention he invented pressing style
that team was pure domination united was nowhere near it
whenever i think about a common place classic formation, i just think about 4-4-2 and 1994's brazil.
BORK LASER I couldn't give two fucks who came up with it. Almost every single English team played 4-4-2 for 15-20 years. It wasn't until 4-5-1 started to swamp the midfield that everyone changed.
In the 90s, the 4-4-2 was the most popular approach; Ancelloti found success with Milan using the 4-3-2-1 (Christmas tree) with deep lying playmaker (pirlo) and a front playmaker (rui costa, kaka)and Mourinho brought in the 4-5-1 which has been modified into a 4-2-3-1. This is currently the most predominant approach.
In high school it's pretty much have 1 or 2 skilled strikers and control the mid field and you got yourself a winning team.
Yeah, midfield is a mess apart from wingers usually
i am a right midfielder, at school we are playing 3-3-1-3 (3 CB, CM, RM (me), LM, AM, CF and 2 WF)
Thats the formation our class won the school league. and i got the most assists in the league, while most of the teams we face play 5-4-1. Question for someone who understood me until now: How the actual fuck did I get 15 assists in a seson???
Your opponents were bad, that's why.
a
4-4-2??!!! More team has probably won a trophy with this tactic than any others!
eh ada bang wartawan 😁😁
yep like leicester
i really like playing a 4-4-2
Exactly, I just commented the same thing. Arguably the most used and dominant formation ever in football.
Atletico's way of playing
0-0-0 formation: Play with 11 goalkeepers.
U can't lose if u don't concede took a whole new shape
@@DawkBrawlin there was a spanish team that went unbeaten but didnt win the league
Where's Mourinho's favourite? 11-0-0
Andy Summons It's not so much a football tactic as it is a way to "Park a Bus"
True
Andy Summons *10-0-0. The goalkeepers are not included in the formation name.
Andy Summons Yea Mourinho won with no striker or midfielders at Anfield, Either this means he is the best manager in England or maybe its because Liverpool are just shit. Personaly i think its both
Chelsea are one of the highest goals doing teams in Europe.....
10-1. Long pass all the way to championship.
You mean 9-1* right? Goalkeepers don't count when naming formations. For example 4-3-3 is actually 1-4-3-3 but you don't say the 1.
Nathan Masters
well. if you want, I could say 1-9-0-1.. the format is different from mouth to mouth. As long as people can understand, it's pretty ok.
The Potato Mate, unless you're going to play the goal keeper as a center back of full back you don't mention him! What ever formation you use a goalkeeper will always be in the exact same place so you don't need to mention him because it's obvious.
Nathan Masters
Mate, If you have claudio bravo as keeper, he'll be wanting to be a full back more than a sweeper. I know it's obvious. Like I said, it's different from mouth to mouth, places to places. If someone can understand, that's good enough.
*****
Just like Leicester city last season. I mean, it could work.. =P
Chelsea's formation 8-1-1
kabs hussain On paper
8-1-1*
10-0-0
IraqiKarim TOP Mourinho is loving these comments
Oliver Haines Bus-2-1
Not even a mention of Sacchi who changed football forever like Pep and Klopp and Capello admitted
my exact thoughts
milan ran through opponents in the late 80s and early 90s
It's missing Sacchi's Milan, that was a real revolution in the 90s
late 80s actually
Exactly. No team won back-2-back UCLs after Arrigo Sacchi's Milan
@@mananmehta6910 erm, Real Madrid a couple of year ago ???
@@kinichitohyama4056 yeah until Real Madrid of Zidane
um? i think you forgot a very none formation, often refered to as bus formation,
9-0-1, Chelsea plays is all the time against top teams, and it help them dominate in recent years
At least they have the capability to win something unlike Liverpool.
englandfootball8 He was being humble and complimenting chelseas formation and yet ye chelsea rentboys still have to say something bad? Chelsea will never have more major trophies than Liverpool EVER!
kabs hussain On sheet then it becomes 8-1-1
A 5-3-2 used to nullify the popular 4-2-3-1 formations seems like a likely future approach
Nah. A lot of Italian clubs use 5-3-2 and it works best against two strikers. If theyre combating 4-2-3-1 against only one striker then having such a heavy defence is unnecessary.
4-5-1 is perfect.
Ancelotti used it in RM but then changed mc to fw,and played 4-1-3-2.
Today often plays 3-2-3-2 by this excelent manager but now im not rm fan,only Zidane fan but I want rm lose.
3-4-3 while atacking, 5-2-3 while defending. Perfect formation
This is mexicos formation for tomorrow's game against Costa Rica
That is about the same tactic Pinto used with Costa Rica in the World Cup and it did make us go quite far : )
Pasagerul Anonim when i play against my bro in fifa i go 3-5-2 attack and 5-2-1-2 defence.
Pasagerul Anonim There is no such thing as "perfect formation." If there was, why would anyone use different strategy than that?
Robert Constantin you called it, a year after your comment and we (Chelsea) are seemingly on our way to our 6th English Top Flight title
how the hell was 4-4-2 and 4-4-1-1 not mentioned? the fundamental art of possession and supporting offensive players
because everyone knows it
should have talked about Mourinho and his defensive tactics
Yes, he should have talked about how it won Chelsea the league title
But its a dick way to win it
+Ethan Gardner Defense win games
Great video, only made better at 3:09 by the random picture of Ian Wright playing for Celtic
He was fucking useless for us at Celtic
David Bergin But I remember he scored at Aberdeen, and then he did this celebration where he ran and then slumped as if shot dead. It was great. Doesn't make up for how shit useless he was at Celtic. But it almost does.
I honestly see Mauricio Pochettino's philosophy of high pressure becoming the future of football as not many teams seem to be able to combat Spurs, despite there lack of world class players.
+Elliott Chesterman Dortmund didn't seem to struggle too much
+Elliott Chesterman Pochettino simply copied Klopp's Gegenpressing, which was adapted from earlier high press styles.
Guardiola as well as klob are both doing it for their teams ...
And I got to add not a whole a lot of players can keep up a 90 minute press as well as not many players have the talent to do what klob or Guardiola ask for !!!
It's takes pure understanding of football .. practical training .. experience, understanding and skill all come from motivation and determination
1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1
😂😂😂
1-10-0-0
10-0-0 oh wait Chelsea already does that.
1-10-0-0 Mourinho Park the Bus Especiale
Thats a tablature of guitar
I think everybody should just stand in goal. Same mentality. You can't lose if you don't conceive
Jae Watkins Well, you will be out for 9 months if you do conceive.
Might work in international football but before long every 0-0 draw will mean around 38 points, might get relegated.

Absolutely love videos like this that go in depth with football tactics. Keep it up COPA90!!
Neat explanation and great analysis.
Despite some tiny little details left on the air, all this is pretty much what has been all about the transcendent football formations throughout history.
Very good job, I'm subscribing to your channel now.
1-2-7 for FIFA 17
10-0-0. Chelsea already does it.
Lol, atletico does it, Italy does it. Why pick on Chelsea?
chelsea became the busmaster
Italy doesn't do it...
Was waiting for such a video. Insightful and very well done! Great job as always copa90
Marvellous Video. Keep up the good work. Shared this video to all my football-loving friends.
There is a massive historical mistake in here. "Catenaccio" was actually invented in Switzerland and developed by the Italian club teams (specially Inter Milan) in the '60s, not in the '80s. Au contraire, during the '80s Italians overcame the traditional catenaccio under the guidance of Arrigo Sacchi's AC Milan, that still now are the last team able to win the European cup back-to-back, imposing the 4-4-2 which was dominating in the '90s.
Nice idea for a series or a documentary spanning from the early periods (20's to 50's) to the 60's, 70's, 80's etc.
I would love to see an in depth look of each era combined in a 15 to 30 minute episode. It would be cool to see examples and clips of the highlights put together with the tactical explaination given here!
I think this is the best video i've yet seen from copa90 great video from the structure to the visualization top notch!
So good, thank you copa90!
This guy sounds like he could voice a koala bear in a cartoon
Huh, never thought about that lol
its funny coz hes australian
I'm loving all these original comments about Chelsea's style of play.
Teams used to choke the back 3rd with defenders because defenders used to just be big and strong. As CBs began to improve and become more tactically savvy, having less defenders became affordable. If Thiago Silva or Ramos played as they do now in the 50s, they would cause clean sheets nearly every game.
I see this video too often, love it.
I don't think formations are really the problem nowadays. Any of the modern formations will give any team a solid foundation to build team play around. What I see as the most necessary evolution is that individual players need to develop their positional intelligence more whereby their play is dictated by their position on the field and the positioning and movement of the opposition. I often see a fast break by the opposition team which you can see could be easily defended as long as the defense were clear on their roles as to who they were going to pick up and what space they were going to cover. Instead what we often see is more than one player over-pursuing an attacker or the defense getting confused as to who is covering who, this situation probably occurs because individual players have their roles coached into them rather than the intelligence to quickly assess the dynamics of the developing situation.
While here in England, Mourinho is parking his bus
...an defeating the defending Champions 4-1 and took the goal record for a single season with Los Blancos. That's a turbo jet bus.
Awesome video! Well done.
Fantastic video. I want to see more of this.
complicated bus formation in a diamond shape with a triangle between 2 DF and 1 DMF is the best and most effective, even if you don't like to see.
Catenaccio ❤️❤️❤️🇮🇹🇮🇹
tiki taka💙
Quick sidenot to restore ´54 West-Germany's honor: They played with their second team in their 3-8 group stage match against Hungary.
Not to take anything away from the hungarians, they were the best team at that time. Germany won off the rain in the final, because they were the only team using screw cleats for better grip on weat ground, at that time newly invented by their kitman, Zeugwart, caretaker, Adolf "Adi" Dassler, founder of "adidas".
Great video, lads!
Guardiola didn't invent his system though: that came from Luciano Spalletti's 05-06 Roma side and the 4-6-0
and Pep had alot of influence from the late great Johan Cryuff, the 3 4 3 formation. Pep was then able to improve Cryuff's style of play and turn it into tika taka. Pep used the same idea of sticking to your postion like Cryuff did with the Barcelona Dream Team of the 90s.
MrCrashandFootball even more influence from La Volpe's 523. Or 343. When the wing backs would join the midfield line and busquests would join the defensive line
*4-0*
Next popular formation will be 9-1-0 should be thrilling to watch
This video was killer best video ive seen in months
Great vid I love these sort of stuff u should make more
Our Varsity team explained the 4-2-3-1 and basically it was a solid defense while having an attack with numbers and if you picture the formation in your mind when they are defending there are no gaps with if you push them back and then when they attack the defensive mids stay back with the defenders while the full backs went to attack with the forwards and wingers. It was very hard to find a gap so no one got through and a great attack as well. He simply said it was a numbers game and it worked amazing, our team was undefeated, won the tournament and league, and was also in the newspapers.
jizzinmypants9000 4-2-3-1 will get ripped to shreds by counter attacking football though
alfie horn but the thing was our defenders were faster than our forwards so we didnt really concede that much
jizzinmypants9000 the speed of defenders doesnt matter, if you were playing against a good side (academies etc.) then they'll create a mismatch in the counter attack, get the ball to the open man and he'll slot it home whilst your forwards are all scurrying back trying to mark the bloody midfielders
alfie horn yeah of course academies will beat amateur high school teams no shit but since we had the best high school varsity team, there was no side better than us
What about Arrigo Sacchi's Milan of the late 80s/early 90s. Completelt revolutionised football by using 3 attacking forwards and the full backs sitting on half way line which condensed the field, making it harder for the opposition to win possession
Thanks copa for faverouting my #fanfilmfund tweet! About the oldest football ground in the world Hallam FC
make more like this, best so far!
Where is SAF's 4-4-2?
Not really his though was it?
No but I doubt any team right now can win as many titles as he did using 4-4-2 these days
Nik Izzat Danial True.
sacchi was far more succesful with it
Yeah how could the video forget Fergies 4-4-2? #GGMU
jupp heynckens destroyed tiki taka 7-0 please tell about his balanced tactic
Attacking more directly like Barca and swift counter attack when win the ball.
He destroyed a coachless team who were struggling in all big games that season. Not a great example of tiki-taka. If weren't for Chelsea fluke wins in 2012 Barca and Bayern would have met when they were both top of their game and we would have seen one of the best finals ever. Shame :/
Chelsea's "fluke" wins HAHAHAHA yeah okay, because every game was a fluke -_- You don't make it to a CL final "fluking" every single game, whilst the final itself and the game vs Barca were very fortunate, the other games were not at all lucky
Pep wasnt in barcelona when Heinckes destroyed barça. The coach was tito vilanova (Rip) and he did so bad
+loGic Psychosis dude, chelsea did. All games were fluke. And you guys lost to corinthians in the international club championship (not sure thats how they call it in english). Chelsea should be ashamed. Lol
Great video, really well explained
great video..thanks..
Kenny Jackett's tactics are great! 442 with a winger on the left and a CM on the right, it turns into a 433 when attacking!
+catandfishfc Being a Wolves fan, his tactics are good but his lineups are shit.

Fuck off you play 10-0-0
Come on Now mark? Honestly telling me You don't think you're defensive based? It doesn't matter what you line up as, it appears more like a 6-2-2
***** and what team is that
Kinda sad that Chelsea out scored your team with 10 defenders isn't it?
Lorcan McGuirk 6-0 Arsenal :P
amazing!!
Great video!
lets play the 1-1-8. Philosophy : Fuck Possesion, Camping FTW.
and... zidane's luck
Nice Video Keep going with this Great Visa
Man what a great video
1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 formation, just pass the ball along guys..just pass along
Your mum
You're dumb that's 11, the goal keeper doesn't count
Laana Sou If you lose possesion and get countered on the wings. You pretty much conceded.
Yannick Morsen Ya, he's dumb
if Netherlands ever win the world cup I'll party a week long
same
LOL. That's what I do when my club win the league (and we've won it 21 times). Haha. If Sweden ever won the world cup I'd be partying for a month.
In most people's eyes you kind of did.
I will party a month straight.
I was flying out of Amsterdam the day of Euro 2000 semi vs Italy. Had a chance to be amongst supporters, and from what I understand, it's always a week-long party. :) Coolest part of my only European trip, and 16-year-old me fell in love with the Oranje. I picked up an orange soccer ball before I left and got an Ajax jersey (that still fits 32-year-old me!) at the airport before I left. When kids here in the States try to tell me soccer is boring and that basketball tricks are cooler, I pull up a video of Edgar Davids and convert them. :)
'One RUclips-video says more than thousand words' ! Especially this one :-)
The dutch people made football what it is today. But look at them now.. 😂
Ouch.. :(
you forgot park de bus
no mention to sacchi's(milan's) 4-4-2 in late 80s and early 90s with pressing involved?
The 3-4-3 with a diamond in midfield is my favorit....
The 4-3-3 is a solid formation. I can see the 4-3-3 extending out into a 4-2-1-3 with the 1 interchanging between defensive and attack for high pressure and quick shifting from defense to attack through a few quick passes.
Cruyff didn't invent total football, he was the perfect exponent of it put not even his manager Rinus Michaels came up with it on his own, total football had been used in some way or another for years by Real Madrid, Hungary and even Burnley and Scottish Manager Jimmy Hogan inspired Michaels with his pioneering in possesion based football
6-3-1 will be the shit soon
there is no such thing as 6-3-1 as of now, think u misunderstand the term strategy and tactic in football
***** i dont think u've ever played professionally in your life. Chelsea (who popularized it, and is best example) played 4-2-3-1 format where DMs would drop down to help CBs while AMF served as DM/CM. It's just tweaked tactics of 4231 and 532. Having 4 CBs or double full backs would prove as a disaster because there is no way u can hold out for most of the match using something like that. But i firmly believe someone will pull it of and make work. And that is the difference between strategy and position tactic in football. Different things even tho one cant work without the other.
+RedReco Chelsea don't even park the bus anymore have you been under a rock for the past 2 years?
Dagmawi Tilahun WHO POPULAZIED IT (i have to caps since ur clearly a dumbass who cant read). But both of u are ignorant ~10 yr old with no football knowledge, only trait'd be internet trolling.
no, it will be 1-10-0-0
I love your videos. For this one though, I was looking forward to a more thorough and carefully explained account.
GREAT VIDEO!! & also the mention of the legendary Jurgen Klopp!
Chelsea better find a new formation or they're going to be relegated. Can't even beat Arsenal anymore...
We may use 3-5-2.
Terry, Azpi and Zouma or Luiz? Ivanovic and Cahill must show decisiveness or will continue to lose 😧
Mike Morrison Because arseanal is genius
Mike Morrison what about the 3-4-3 they do now?
Man.. 4-4-2 gets no respect... it(and it's variants) was all the rage in the 90's and early 2000's
I like the 3-4-3 with wing backs that Wolves have been using (maybe biased, since i support them). Wolves are 3-4-3 in attack and 5-4-1 when coming backwards with a huge emphasis on counter attacking football. Plenty of pace up front with no real out and out striker, all 3 upfront are wingers by trade really. with Neves and whoever gets slotted in net to him, usually Saiss or N'Diaye and creative outlets for the front 3 or the wing backs when they come forward.
Nuno completely changed Wolves this season. Traditionally a simple 4-4-2 kind of team with emphasis on wing play and long ball. Nuno encouraged shorter passing and plenty of patience when unable to break on the counter. It's been a joy to watch all season.
I had no idea the W-M formation was a thing, I set it up on FIFA career mode as a way to bag interceptions but it does more than that. I know FIFA is far from real life but this accidental formation of mine is ridiculously strong!
am i the only one noticing 1:10- 1:14....gosh....Zoom in!
***** hehehehe it makes me gay to see?
see what?
you completely glossed over the rise of the back 3 formations, with some of the greatest teams employing this tactic. Franz beckenbauer made the sweeper position his own and inspired the rise of Franco baresi to create the libero, a more attack minded version of the sweeper who would start possession based attacks from deep. this had more influence over the next evolution of formations with the rise of la pivoti (the pivot) which is personified by players such as Andrea pirlo, xavi and Paul scholes.
I'd say Beckenbauer was a Libero himself. The term refers to the fact that your other defenders (including CBs) are freed up to gain attacking roles; the sweeper's own attacking role is irrelevant to the term Libero.
He also glossed over Tottenham Hotspur pioneering the one-two passing tactic in the late 50s, and changing English football. But he still includes Arsenal basically cheating by having the rules changed. I smell a gooner.
GREAT VID BRO...
I really like videos like this explaining the x.o of football
What about a 6-4-0 no one will get past
Olympic Llama what about 0-0-0? just have 11 players filling up the space of the goal.
In the world cup the dutch tried 6-2-2 they never really said it but it looked like it was and when where they doing that you may ask? 2015 World Cup game against spain
Ryan Tsui i'm sure mourinho's already thought of that.
The dutch played with 5 defenders
