No one ever remembers Colombo. He had not Van Basten's quality but according to Sacchi, he was fundamental in that position. If you see the first goal against Steaua, Gullit makes goal after Colombo's shot
I'm from Milan and grew up with Sacchi's and later Capello's AC Milan. This is a tremendous video. You nailed it. I still have goosebumps looking at Rijkaard scoring against Benfica. And now knowing that it was Sacchi's move, it takes it to another level
Van Basten's nonchalant assist and Rijkaard's perfect trap that led to the goal in a breeze. Simple yet powerful beauty of functionality symbolizing the Sacchi's philosophy.
high defensive line - very tight pressing - fast transition from defensive to offensive - all out attack - attack through the middle - flexible squad formation: aka as Jurgen Klopp's "Gegenpressing"
in fact the winner of Ballon d'Or in 1988 Winner 1st Marco van Basten 2nd Place Ruud Gullit 3rd Place Frank Rijkaard are all play in same team is still mind blowing for me.
Even today when I hear or see the name AC Milan, for a split second I think of the Mighty AC Milan, these Milan teams of the 80's & 90's were a force to be reckoned with.. Today they're a decent side but are a shadow of their former selves.. It's fascinating how the power balance sways over the years.. Football is a beautiful game..
they won the cl twice in 2000s as well runner up twice too. Milan where actually most successfull in europe in the 2000's. The club colapsed in 2011. Sold Zlatan and Silva. at the end of the year all the leaders retiered. Rino-Ambrosini-inzagi pirlo went on a free transfer. Man UTD did the same mistake. Istead of replacing one or two at the time they released and sold their entire spine over night. you gonna have to build a new DNA identilty from scratch which take a long time. Man City and Liverpool have spent 5-6 years building to get to where they are now.

Him, Michels, Cruijff, Guardiola, Van Gaal and Klopp have defined, molded, and perfected attacking football for the last 50 years. With honorable mentions to Ernst Happel, Arsene Wenger and Valeri Lobanovski
It's effective if you have godly defenders because its hard to beat them by one on one. But I remember watching maradona beat this strategy at one time, he just dribble the ball in straight line lol.
What a monster of a team, defensively organized with their off-side trap and their closing down on the ball holder to give him minimal time on the ball and too shut down passing lanes, attacking wise would play with a very high tempo and use vertical one touch passing to play through the lines and get the third man runner in behind the defence. The manager Saachi was a brilliant manager and very overlooked. Just like all top managers, the ability to maje tactical adjustments based on how the other team reacts to their play style is top level, great analysis.
I think there must have been so much intensity demanded out of playing this 442. Its just brilliant to watch them use the offside trap. His pressing style is also suited to a high intensity play.
Now you have elevated your analysis to a different level @nouman We need more videos of this. The forgotten coaches of football. Coaches like Trapattoni, the ac Milan of Carlitos Ancelotti, Marcelo lippi, the Barcelona of Johan Cruyff , the great Ajax of van gaal. Well done nouman 👏👏
I did not know so much about football around 1990, but I noticed this. Watching Milan defence back then was a pleasure. There was an extra dimension to it.
I remember seeing them moving up and down the pitch together in two banks of four, very impressive discipline and very tough to get through. Hope to see more clips of their team movement.

Ruud Gullit era una gazella todoterreno un genio que tridente Gullit-van basten-rijkard atrás liderado por baresi y comandados por el gran arrigo sacchi muchos dt toman nota de este gran dt junto con michels y luego cruiiff los mejores de la historia
And who all played with Johan Cruyff. Van Basten and Rijkaard at Ajax and Gullit at Feyenoord. Van Basten and Rijkaard also working with Cruijff as their coach at Ajax
Sacchi would disagree with you because he was inspired by Cruyff and Michels Ajax of the early '70s. Plus Gullit and the other Dutch players introduced the Dutch craving to always want to attack. They wouldn't settle for a 1-0 or 2-0 score if they knew they could score more goals
Sacchi Trapattoni Lippi Capello Ancelotti.. The best managers come out of Italy. Just look at the premier league in last 10 years atleast 5 came from Italians.
It was actually because of milan they changed the rule, it was called by italian press "the anti milan rule" as it was seen the only way to stop milan offside trap
Are you sure that is onside, I've just looked at it and due to their being 2 players in the line of the ball therefore interfering with play, doesn't that count as offside even if they don't touch the ball (feel free to correct me if I'm incorrect :) )
Music is very relaxing, good choice. One nit-pick though; was catenaccio really the popular style in the 80s? LaGrande Inter of the 60s played catenaccio but after Cruijf's total football revolution in the 70s I believe most Italian teams began to depart from old school catenaccio in favour of more modern styles of play (for the time).
It's an interesting video in most regards but has a number of inaccuracies. Catenaccio requires a sweeper - in that it is indeed the opposite of Sacchi because the sweeper will sit deep. In 1980s Italian football most teams had abandoned the use of a sweeper and catenaccio was no longer being used. While he deserves to be celebrated Sacchi did not quite have the influence people imagine over Italian football. The Italian dominance of Europe in the 1990s was based on much more conventional tactics, best represented by Sacchi's successor Capello. Within less than a decade Sacchi went out of fashion and would be forever tainted a 1-6 humbling by Marcello Lippi's Juventus in 1997. Offside trap: it was actually a not-so-risky strategy with the old laws in place till the 1980s. Player standing on the same line with the last defender was offside, the attacker needed to be on the same line with TWO defenders. So it was a lot more frequent for the offside flag to be raised. Once the rule was changed so that the attacker only needed to be on the same line as the last defender, it became much riskier to deploy an offside trap. Sacchi will be forever remembered for the back-to-back European Cup titles of 1989 and 1990. On the other hand he only won Serie A once in 4 years, that is not a lot when one looks at the amount spent on the squad and the insane talent in it. Capello for example won three consecutive Serie A titles and another in 1996; Lippi won 5 Serie A titles in 8 years with Juventus. Under Sacchi Milan had the Serie A's best defence nearly every season over 1987-91. But never were the league's top scoring team, despite his approach wanting to be attack-minded. In fact in Capello's first season Milan's goal output increased to 74 compared to an average of just above 50 in the 4 years of Sacchi!
@@ayyguevara8448 Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Alves (defenitely better than Tassotti) and Busquets ahead of Donadoni, Ancelotti, Colombo and Gullit. would be a 4-3-1-2 with Busquets, Rijkaard, Xavi in midfield, Iniesta as playmaker and Messi and van Basten up front.

you forgot to mention that almost every AC Milan players at that time,specially defenders and some of the midfielders were super fast players,they could sprint like no others at that time(Baresi,Maldini,Costacurta,Tassotti, Donadoni and the three dutch)so they were able to recuperated their position very fast in the field, when they were losing the ball or when they had to press the opponents!!!
They became stronger with the hard Sacchi's training, he always asked 200% from them and they followed him with effort and respect. Before to be a Champions need to be a man; they were supermen.
some says Sacchi's Milan similar with pep's barcelona high press possession football. people often try to make comparisson between this two system. but actually, its far from being similar. Barcelona only rush on the ball in 3 second they lost the ball, with no organized defense system. they just rushing out, clossing down tha opponent as fast as possible and outnumbering the one who hold the ball. their defenders have no organization system. no offside trap, no positioning. just rushing out and closing down the one who has the ball in numbers, to get the ball as fast as possible. they only conceding in low number, but it's actually not because the defense system but only because they always hold the ball almost all the time. wasting time in any giving time in enemy's territory. far from their own penalty area. and when they have the ball, they tend to hold the possession by delivering so many meaningless pass untill messi do the magic by himself. in most occasion, they creates goals not because of their system but only because messi's solo penetration. sometimes.., When messi is been locked down, they have nothing. because they always play slow tempo and make 11 player of the enemy parking infront of the penalty area and they can't play high ball. and then they just wait messi do the rest. sometimes, it makes me sleepy wacthing them holding the ball like that. Without messi's solo penetration.., their system won't be effective. for me.., in barcelona there's no pep's philosophy. there's no system at all. there's only messi. the rest is just delivering meaningless pass to wasting time so the enemy never has the chance to create since they always hold the ball. But Sacchi's Milan was special. They played quick counter attacking football but can still hold the possession by wining the ball back. they never scare to lose the ball. high risk high gain. keep tring to play openly, creating chance with ambitious pass and penetration, high rotation, so many option in creating chance, by flank or middle, playing high or low, by inside or outside of penalty area. and they defends with a well organized system.
In order to play these tactic nowadays, you need a Sweeper Keeper and players who are willing to track those deep runs done by midfielder and even CB's sometimes.
Better make a video with Flying Dutchmen, they were playing this since 70's. Total football, They call it. But this Milan was great, one of the greatest teams in history: Maldini, Baresi, Gullit, Van Basten etc My God!
Sacchi dice que Van Basten arrastra la marca y deja el espacio para reikjard. Pero cuando se hace defensa con stopper o marca al hombre el libero tiene que sobrar atrás y en esa jugada no había, si no el libero cortaba el avance y no era gol.
Good coach, but it helps a bit when you have Van Basten, Gullit, Rijkard, Baresi and Maldini in your side. Think they'd been successful no matter what system they played. Players win football matches more than tactics!
If you really see this year's Bayern played quite similar to this too, with muller always playing high to stay close to attackers and the defenders keeping a high line( althou6they didn't use the offside trap that much)
You fail to mention that the only reason why his offside trap was successful was that because back in those days if one person is offside, it will be called whether or not he's interfering with play.
Coach Arrigo Sacchi had invented the football of today.....that AC MILAN was incredible!!! In the museum of Casa MILAN in MIlan city i've seen all cups won in the history of the rossoneri club.....it's an amazing football club....inside the history!! Now Mr Arrigo Sacchi is the creator of Guardiola and Sarri.
Hansi flick,s Bayern resembles the same philosophy Sacchi implemented. The high pressing highline 1 touch vertical passing and also they make the pitch smaller then they counter press exactly like Sacchi,s ac milan
For Noobs , at that time the rule says it is offside if any player was offside even if the player who received the ball was on side. This does not WORK at this time but it was briliant tactic from Milan's Sacchi
the rule of offside was change in 1990, then in 1994 then in 2004. the end of milan begins with the change of the rule of offside. many messi and ronaldo's goals were offside in that time. I remember that kind of defense, the rival shot the ball and all the defenders ran to the contrary side. sacchi was the culprit of that antifootball. in that time they played in a very reduced field with the old back-pass rule, for this reason to score goals was two times more difficult than today. now sacchi's defense system is a suicide
Valeri Lobanovski deserves a nod as well with what he accomplished with Dynamo Kyiv. Using the facets of basketball with 1 touch football. This coming from a Dutch guy. Something that almost every attacking coach admired at the time during their 1985/86 spectacular run in Europe and ultimately beating Atletico Madrid 3-0 in the finals. As Cruyff called it using high ball circulation and letting the ball do all the work instead of walking a bunch with the ball. Those 4 coaches helped Guardiola create and mold the best team that's ever been. His tiki-taka Barcelona
Sacchi got his tactics from the Liverpool teams of the 1970s and early 80s, kind of the opposite of the high press where everyone gets behind the ball when possession is lost then attack when it's won back.
No analysis i think.. That’s pure luck in my opinion.. If it wasn’t luck, how can be sheva miss open goal just 2 metres ahead him in dying time of second half extra time??.. That’s destiny i think, not tactic at all..
@@thegooner-49 Everyone had to be behind the line back in the day. If one was offside all of them where. Today only the last person to touch the ball is effected
I didn't know his name until I heard more times from Chelsea manager mourizio sarri , I watched this video I've seen sarri is playing the idea of sachi not his football own
Sacchi offensive style was great but linesmen made a lot of mistakes because players from the opponent teams were clearly not offside. Now with the VAR, that tactic wouldn’t work. It’s ok to step hard when the ball carrier is under pressure and not able to play the pass but they were doing it even if the ball carrier was not under pressure. So yes great offensively but can’t do that anymore defensively
3:12 the player running for the ball is not offside and the player offside is retreating so it should be play on......same with the very next play on 3:24

Without messi's solo penetration.., their system won't be effective. for me.., in barcelona there's no pep's philosophy. there's no system at all. there's only messi. the rest is just delivering meaningless pass to wasting time so the enemy never has the chance to create since they always hold the ball.
But Sacchi's Milan was special. They played quick counter attacking football but can still hold the possession by wining the ball back. they never scare to lose the ball. high risk high gain. keep tring to play openly, creating chance with ambitious pass and penetration, high rotation, so many option in creating chance, by flank or middle, playing high or low, by inside or outside of penalty area. and they defends with a well organized system.
Yeah, i like barcelona when ronaldinho there, but in pep era it's just boring to watch them
Closed Door oh yes. ... Barca is very boring ...Milan was pure joy !!!!!
In order to play these tactic nowadays, you need a Sweeper Keeper and players who are willing to track those deep runs done by midfielder and even CB's sometimes.
Also its difficult to find so intelligent CB both in defense and attack (baresi moved with the ball like a playmaker sometimes).
Sacchi ball!Absolutely magnificent football :)))))
Better make a video with Flying Dutchmen, they were playing this since 70's. Total football, They call it. But this Milan was great, one of the greatest teams in history: Maldini, Baresi, Gullit, Van Basten etc My God!
Sacchi dice que Van Basten arrastra la marca y deja el espacio para reikjard. Pero cuando se hace defensa con stopper o marca al hombre el libero tiene que sobrar atrás y en esa jugada no había, si no el libero cortaba el avance y no era gol.
He's very intelligent he adapts his defence to the offside rules
Good coach, but it helps a bit when you have Van Basten, Gullit, Rijkard, Baresi and Maldini in your side. Think they'd been successful no matter what system they played. Players win football matches more than tactics!
Tactics also play a major part, how about Ranieri winning the PL with Leicester won't you agree that's tactics? And klopp with Dortmund
That's why Belusconi chose Van Basten when they clashed. Sachhi had to leave.
Great contents 🔥🔥
If you really see this year's Bayern played quite similar to this too, with muller always playing high to stay close to attackers and the defenders keeping a high line( althou6they didn't use the offside trap that much)
For me, the Milan AC will destroy the best ages of Barca Team witn Pep. Ac Milan is the best team of all times
Bayern 2020, 2013 and Barca 2011 are better
What a tactical genius
Beautiful.
You fail to mention that the only reason why his offside trap was successful was that because back in those days if one person is offside, it will be called whether or not he's interfering with play.
Well ,he adapted to it later pn
i think in today's modern football you can see cleary sarri also plays with same tactics
Coach Arrigo Sacchi had invented the football of today.....that AC MILAN was incredible!!! In the museum of Casa MILAN in MIlan city i've seen all cups won in the history of the rossoneri club.....it's an amazing football club....inside the history!! Now Mr Arrigo Sacchi is the creator of Guardiola and Sarri.
If you notice, Liverpool with Klopp plays exactly the same! so I wont be amazed if they dominate the scene for the next years
klopp said that;I know all of my football iq from my coach at mainz,and he know all of it from sacchi...
but they are playing like zizou s real these days,just crossing!
Hansi flick,s Bayern resembles the same philosophy Sacchi implemented. The high pressing highline 1 touch vertical passing and also they make the pitch smaller then they counter press exactly like Sacchi,s ac milan
i highly influence this. But apparently have a lot of matches 87-91 era. Can you recommend spesific matches?
3:15 was no offside :)
For Noobs , at that time the rule says it is offside if any player was offside even if the player who received the ball was on side.
This does not WORK at this time but it was briliant tactic from Milan's Sacchi
in todays offside rules some of those wouldnt be offsides
Pep is another one of his students 🐐
Excellent
Can u make 1996 - 2000 Fatih Terim's Galatasaray analysis video??
One of the best indeed
Pretty much most teams in the 90's and early naughties played this system because of sacchi
the rule of offside was change in 1990, then in 1994 then in 2004. the end of milan begins with the change of the rule of offside. many messi and ronaldo's goals were offside in that time. I remember that kind of defense, the rival shot the ball and all the defenders ran to the contrary side. sacchi was the culprit of that antifootball. in that time they played in a very reduced field with the old back-pass rule, for this reason to score goals was two times more difficult than today. now sacchi's defense system is a suicide
There are 3 masters: Rinus Michels, Johan Crujiff and Arrigo Sacchi...the others are just a copypaste
Valeriy Lobanofski, helenio Herrera, Jose Mourinho, pep Guardiola
Johan crujiff? How many ucl tittle he won??
@@proximamidnight3856 One.
Valeri Lobanovski deserves a nod as well with what he accomplished with Dynamo Kyiv. Using the facets of basketball with 1 touch football. This coming from a Dutch guy. Something that almost every attacking coach admired at the time during their 1985/86 spectacular run in Europe and ultimately beating Atletico Madrid 3-0 in the finals. As Cruyff called it using high ball circulation and letting the ball do all the work instead of walking a bunch with the ball. Those 4 coaches helped Guardiola create and mold the best team that's ever been. His tiki-taka Barcelona
Beilsa?
Playing football is very simple, but playing simple football is the hardest thing there is ~ cryuff | Sacchi's milan did it.
Great brain of football
Sacchi got his tactics from the Liverpool teams of the 1970s and early 80s, kind of the opposite of the high press where everyone gets behind the ball when possession is lost then attack when it's won back.
Dude, you've gotta put this together for FM 19
Would like to watch the analysis that Liverpool won AC Milan in 2005 champion league final
That match has been analysed already i think,but not by Nouman.But still it was analysed.
No analysis i think..
That’s pure luck in my opinion..
If it wasn’t luck, how can be sheva miss open goal just 2 metres ahead him in dying time of second half extra time??..
That’s destiny i think, not tactic at all..
I'd like to watch the analysis of Milan winning back 2 years later
Azmi Kosnan no analysis, milan was luck also that time..
Liverpool was better side on CL final ‘07, while Milan on ‘05
Please do an Ajax and Yohan Cruyff vid
I wonder how football would be if they wouldnt change the offside rule. Better or worse. What do you guys think?
Try to do an analysis on Marcelo Lippi and Trapattoni as well :)
old master of high pressing ,he is master for klopp
That's not an offside though 3:11
Rules have been changed.
Today it is onside
@@nishilbright2007 but that Milan was playing with the old offside rule.
@@mostrotorino what was the old rule?
@@thegooner-49 Everyone had to be behind the line back in the day. If one was offside all of them where. Today only the last person to touch the ball is effected
People are not giving zizou the credits he deserved, will you do one on Zidane please
wait
with baresi, gullit, costacurta, maldini, van basten & so on, maybe the strongest european team ever not bad life for sacchi...
I didn't know his name until I heard more times from Chelsea manager mourizio sarri , I watched this video I've seen sarri is playing the idea of sachi not his football own
yes we can say that sarriball is: defensive fase of sacchi + offensive fase of Guardiola
Sacchi offensive style was great but linesmen made a lot of mistakes because players from the opponent teams were clearly not offside. Now with the VAR, that tactic wouldn’t work. It’s ok to step hard when the ball carrier is under pressure and not able to play the pass but they were doing it even if the ball carrier was not under pressure. So yes great offensively but can’t do that anymore defensively
3:12 the player running for the ball is not offside and the player offside is retreating so it should be play on......same with the very next play on 3:24
The rules changed.. back in those day.. that is offside..
in that time was offside
