Another underrated player from the fluminense squad is Jhon Arias. The guy never loses the ball and also has an incredible work rate whilst never getting tired.
Diehard Fluminense supporter here…. most definitely underrated and eternal Idol of Fluminense without a doubt. I like to think of him in comparison to Man Utd’s legendary Park Ji Sung or “3 Lung Park” in agreeing with what you said as both have very high work rates and can last an entire 90 min match without getting tired. A player with John’s characteristics is really rare to find in football now a days…. What a true gem 💎 we got with John our “Colombian Pele” 💎🔥🇨🇴🇭🇺🤟🏻💯❗️
In addition to all this, there are two very curious facts about striker Germán Cano. 1) He has scored 13 goals in 12 games. No other player has scored so many goals in a single Libertadores edition in the 21st century. 2) He has been the world's top scorer for clubs since 2022 Players with the most goals in the world (by club) since the start of 2022: 81 - 🇦🇷 Germán Cano (Fluminense) 77 - 🇳🇴 Erling Haaland (Dortmund / Manchester City) 77 - 🇫🇷 Kylian Mbappé (PSG) 65 - 🏴 Harry Kane (Tottenham / Bayern) 64 - 🇫🇷 Karim Benzema (Real Madrid / Al-Ittihad)
Cano é um cara que REAL eu queria que ele fosse tipo com 22/23 anos pra ver ele na Europa depois desse titulo Brasileiro ele tem de modo mediano, mas acho que o foco do time em geral era na Liberta. Na liberta ele se transformou e o Diniz melhorou MUITO a movimentação dele
Not unfair at all, even more impressive, since the guy is 35yr old and playing every 2 or 3 days, with our schedule, the brazillian league has a ridiculously small time to train travel and rest.@@edinan9
@@arumakan1Yes he did. He confirmed that he got an ofrer on July that he refused, because he promised Diniz that he would be at the team until the end of the year, trying to win the Libertadores. And well... He did the right choice. Will leave as a Fluminense Legend and loved by all of the fans.
the press here in Brazil us saying that Arsenal and Fulham are on the race to sign him alongside Liverpool.....Arsenal got a brazilian Sporting Director, this help the talks.
I've read that Liverpool's bid for André was below the release clause, Fluminense already has deals for Nino (defender) with Nottingham Forest, Liverpool can still reach a deal to have him after december, when the Brazilian season ends.
That´s what I always think about Atalanta under Gasperini. Four player futsal combinations on the left side of the field, four player futsal combinations on the right side of the field and two "linking players" in the middle: a holding centerback and a playmaking attacking midfielder.
Fluminense fan her since I was a child In 2008, the team went to its first Libertadores Final ever. Lost in the penalties after a ridiculous game from Thiago Neves, scoring a hat trick, but losing the decisive penalty. The fans went out with a very bad feeling that it could've been better. 15 years later, Fluminense wins the Libertadores for the first time. For Fluminense fans, this is a very special title and the biggest one ever. We are looking forward to, hopefully, face Manchester City at the world club's tournament in december. First, we have to go through that semifinal, but it would be very interesting watching Guardiola vs Fernando Diniz
We already had a major positional x anti positional matchup with bielsa x diniz, diniz did really bad being the favourite, lets see how he does when he's the underdog against man city, i just hope its a better game than brazil vs uruguay, that was one of the worst games of football ive ever seen in my life, that first half was definetly the worst.
You do realize that you are talking about the brazilian National team, right? It was, at most, the 4th game Diniz had and the players clearly are trying to adapt to his style of play, since most of them play a positional style in Europe and you can see it on the highlights of every Brazil match.@@Tuca46 And besides that, he is dividing responsibilities with Fluminense and the National Team as well and at that time, Fluminense had a semifinal of Libertadores ahead of them.
@@samuraijack1k997 thats a convenient excuse, you will be able to use it forever if you need to since the players will always practice on positional style for 90% of the time because thats what they do on their clubs. That second point doesnt hurt his national team practice time so i dont get how that relates to your argument, it does hurt his fluminense time though, they lost a week to prepare to their games, glad it didnt matter at the end.
That final was one of the most entertaining games I've watched, pure chaos with the goal in ET and sending off for John Kennedy. He looks very decent, such a fun team to watch.
I really wish to see more analysis of South American clubs. To show there are some pretty good tacticians in here, Abel Ferreira is a great coach. Renato Gaucho is making a good job turning Luisito Suarez into a playmaker and with a very cheap team.
Agree with all the names you mentioned. But also Tite coaching Flamengo has now ramped up the level. The recent game between Tite's Flamengo and Abel's Palmeiras was a spectacular match of football. Tite may have failed with Brazil, but the man is an excellent coach with two serie a titles, a Libertadores, and Club world cup trophy. Next year, the Libertadores and Brasileirao are gonna be so much more competitive.
@@theflight5247 Tite is an excellent coach which I'm grateful for (flamengo fan here). After losing two cups he was hired for far below what he is worth, as if losing a world cup meant you are such a terrible coach.... tite's brazil was great (both of them, 2018 and 2022). It just happens that the world cup is the world cup. 82's brazil was magical and didn't win. Johan Cruyff never lifted the trophy either. Anyways, i'm glad we have him on board. Tite is a sound tactician and a very good coach. Now we need to replace some players...that will be the hardest part...2019's glories, you know....
Eu sou brasileiro, optei por escrever em meu idioma mesmo. Acredito que as táticas do Fernando Diniz podem trazer uma contribuição muito importante para o futebol, ela ainda carrega falhas, principalmente falhas defensivas, pois tiram os jogadores de posição e abrem espaços para contra ataques quando perdem a bola. Mas isso pode ser modificado, e cada treinador pode pegar o que mais lhe interessar e aplicar em seu time, bem como Diniz com o tempo pode modificar suas táticas. O ponto mais importante é o esporte evoluir dentro de campo, com novas formas de jogar, priorizando jogadores de bom passe, visão de jogo, nem sempre forte fisicamente, mas bons tecnicamente.
Achei que esse método se encaixa muito bem na filosofia do futebol brasileiro. Este estilo de jogo aproveita a principal vantagem que os jogadores brasileiros têm sobre os jogadores estrangeiros: improvisação e habilidade decorrente de uma rica tradição de dribles de perto através do futsal.
Concordo com o comentario sob o ponto de vista do ataque. Defensivamente, o estilo deixa muito a desejar. Um exemplo foi o jogo contra o Boca, um time muito limitado e sem jogadores com muito dominio de bola mas com muita raca. Eles conseguiram empatar e em boa parte do jogo tomar conta da iniciativa (embora bem limitada). Acredito que o numero de chutes em gol foi bem parelho. Eh por este motivo que a nivel selecao, o conceito tem que ser trabalhado bem mais antes de ser aplicado.
@@Guavauava Rapaz, isso há 20 anos era uma verdade, mas o futebol evoluiu, e hoje países como Inglaterra, França, Argentina, estão à frente do Brasil nesses quesitos.
As falhas defensivas acontecem porque os jogadores de meio campo sao lentos. Marcelo toma bola nas costas facil e nao tem idade pra voltar em velocidade, tanto que o Alexsander que cobre ele. Um LE de velocidade e um meia motorzinho como arrascaeta facilmente resolveriam isso. Mas obvio q o estilo do diniz pode melhorar mais ainda.
Fluminense fan here One aspect to Diniz' work that I believe is often overlooked is the way he works with the players themselves. The best example of this is John Kennedy himself, who, in the beggining of the year, was at a loan to a smaller club and was about to be let go because of some behavioural issues. However, Diniz kept him in the team and build a trust relationship with him, which enabled him to go from about to scoring arguably the most important goal in the clubs history. Often times nowadays we expect things, and worst of all, people, to just work on the first time around without any adjustment and that's just not the way it goes.
Obrigado por fazer o trabalho de comentar isso, caso não encontrasse seu comentário eu teria que fazer isso Provavelmente o aspecto mais importante do trabalho do Diniz, sem a relação que ele cria com os jogadores esse estilo de jogo aposicional seria quase impossível de implementar
Vai ser um duelo extremamente interessante entre dois opostos de um conceito. Guardiola o maior defensor do jogo posicional e o diniz com o jogo aposicional(anti-posicional), ou como alguns preferem relacionismo.
@@alvarohigino Falaram isso quando o Cano entrou, ai foi artilheiro de 2022. Falaram isso no começo do ano, e ganharam a libertadores. Faz mais sentido falar que o time tem menos qualidade técnica e tática que o City
@@Vergil3489amigo, time do Fluminense não é isso tudo que você tá imaginando não (não tenho nada contra o Fluminense) mas vocês foram esmagados para o internacional dentro e fora de casa, Internacional não passou pq o Ener Valência perdeu uns 3 gols feitos e vocês tem um cara chamado Cano que faz gol até de olho fechado. Ganharam a final de um time que não vencia a 9 jogos e não ganhou um jogo de mata mata da libertadores, time que veio jogar uma final pra empatar e ganharam sofrido ainda. O City vai amassar o Fluminense e se o Fluminense passar ainda do time do Benzema né.
Great vid, just one thing to add! Something that other countries tend to not get is the way Brazil played the 4-2-4: Brazil played that style for almost.... 20 years. It consisted of two wingers, a centerfoward and a position that we called "ponta de lança" (spearhead, literally), which was almost a second striker and given to the most skilled attacker, like Pele. When Diniz made 3 subs, getting John Kennedy, Diogo Barbosa and Lima at the field, Germán Cano backed to the "ponta de lança" position, penetrating the defense and also going back to defend, while John, young, rested and full of personality, got to receive the ball against very tired adverseries. Diniz style of play not only is getting back the real brazilian style of play, but also rescuing old brazilian traditions and mixing them: most of 50's and 60's videos show very static formations, like the positional players today so adding up the brazilian "casual" football of exchanging positions when necessary makes it seem like not only a ressurgence of "jogo bonito", but a try at "jogo bonito 2.0".
Watching the game, you can see the discomfort of the Boca players with flu overload positions and short passes, often not knowing what to do they end up giving up on marking. Personally, I would like to see Diniz in Europe with a prime squad.
The purist football did this video 5 months ago and suddenly channels like this and statman Dave have got their own ones up this week that are remarkably similar. Might want to remove your head from his cheeks since it’s just a copy and paste job.
Relationism is in the edge between chaos and order, it is to encrease entropy in the system. That was the tactic that made possible Pelé or Garrincha evolve to play like legends. It's the old way of the brazilian national team before Positionism arose in Brazil, which is an european tactic (positionism). Fernando Diniz is rescuing it from the old days. Sorry for my broken english. It's the only team in Brazil which plays like that nowadays. Another team with strange technics is Palmeiras, which lets the other team to play almost freely, it's an omissive-aggressive stance. The day they mix the relationism with the omissive-aggressive stance will be the beggining of a new tactical premise.
"Created in Great Britain and perfected in Laranjeiras", Fluminense Football Club is amazing! Soon we'll watch Diniz x Guardiola at the Club World Cup. Fluminense against Manchester City will be the pinacle of this year, you'll see!
I'm a fan from a team that is Fluminense's biggest rival (Flamengo), and I can guarantee for sure that they currently have the best football outside of Europe, even being a rival I'm always watching their matches due to how satisfying it is to watch them play
Fernando Diniz often used to go to the high school I studied at to talk with the futsal coach - which was my coach at the time. Hence I talked to him a couple of times but obviously a long long time ago and he was always incredibly kind to me and to the other kids. It happened in Sao Paulo in 2006. I really happy to see he's getting the appreciation he deserves.
OK, great video, but I want to bring up another approach regarding what you said at 1:20 to 1:45 : Rinus Michels' Dutch team (74 - 78) definitely created new concepts and inspires coaches (directly or indirectly) to this day, just as Cruifjj's teams. But we can't let Brazil's 1970 team out of this conversation. Due to having four stars who would normally play the same position in a team (Pelé, Gérson, Rivellino and Tostão), legendary coach Zagallo took a revolutionary decision. He moved Gérson back almost to a defensive midfielder and played Tostão as a "falso 9" , which literally means an offensive player positioned on the pitch as a striker but in reality, moves freely out of the box with the main purpose of creating rather than finishing plays. He brought in Jairzinho to play up as a winger instead of putting him at center forward, the position he usually played for his club. And finally, he left Pelé free to play up front, just as Guardiola did MANY, MANY years later with Messi. Rinus Michels saw this and went one step further, leaving virtually no fixed-position players in his team. This mixture of the Brazilian team of '70 and the Dutch team of '74 ended up culminating in Telê Santana's choices in '82 when he had Zico, Sócrates, Falcão and Éder. Let's keep In mind that the 1982 World Cup was held in Spain and Pep Guardiola has openly said during interviews that he based some of this ideas on the tactics of that team, which unfortunately ended up losing to Italy and which is the greatest translation of "Joga bonito", the term that you guys from abroad admire so much and that we Brazilians have also adopted after the Nike ads hahaha The bottom line is this: You can't tell which was the specific origin of relativism in Football, but certainly, the Brazilian team of '70 had a big influence on this ideology. Just like the Dutch in '74 and the teams led by Johan Cruijff in Barcelona...
Your video is really good, man. Thanks for spreading the word and showing some of Diniz's brilliant style in Europe. goodbye and Saudações Tricolores 😀
I'm a Fluminense supporter Unfortunately for us, our captain, Nino will move to Nottingham Forest in January And here in brazil, the word was that the Fluminense president and André had a deal for him to stay in 2023 and chase libertadores no matter what. Now that libertadores is over, the club is awaiting 30+ million euros offers for him. As a Fluminense fan, even knowing thats a lot of money, i would say that's a bargain. He isn't a player easily replaced. This squad will never be forgotten
Cara, Infelizmente os europeus veem André como ainda alguém que deve ser testado saca, Porque ele ainda não pisou na tal EUROPA. Quantos maluco ai que com uma temporada já pagam 60 milhões só porque é Europeu.
Europeus pagaram 45-50 milhoes em várias apostas@@johnalbertwrestling se o André jogasse no flamengo já tinha saído a 60 milhoes Reinier, Vinicius JR, Vinicius, Endrick, vários caras que vão ser testados ainda...
E novamente os clubes europeus destroem os clubes brasileiros pagando valores absurdos em jogadores importantes para muitas vezes deixá-los de lado ou simplesmente contaminam ele com o futebol de lá Eu realmente espero que a arábia saudita comece fazer o mesmo com eles Toda vez que um jogador se destaca aqui some uma temporada depois Um inferno isso
I talked about this guys football to my friends last year and how this is Revelationary, and they made fun of my ball knowledge. now people have started to notice thier football. I feel proud of my ball knowledge

Brazil adopted an more positional and defensive stance after Tele Santana defeat on 1982 and 1986 World Cups (1982 squad is regarded as one of the best Brazilian teams ever with Zico, Falcão, Cerezo, Socrares and Junior). Tele himself did managed to win World club title twice with São Paulo on 1992/1993 (on 1992 with Guardiola himself as the main midfielder for Barcelona). Unfortenatly for South American Clubs the end of the Max 3 foreingners on European teams and Bosman Ruling made the Gap between South American and European Clubs too wide.and barely winnable. Corinthians was the last one but It It had some luck to face Chelsea without Drogba instead of Bayern or Real Madrid (or Even Chelsea with Drogba instead of Fernando Torres) But since than It is a fact that Brazil seldomly adopted skilled central midfielders like Cerezo and Falcão, opting instead for players like Dunga and Mauro Silva or Gilberto Silva and Kleberson.
Fugir da marcação na lateral é mais simples, já que você só tem um ângulo de 180 graus para se preocupar, jogar no meio você tem que ter atenção 360 graus. Difícil de se adaptar, podemos pegar o Daniel Alves como exemplo, jogou no meio várias vezes, mas nunca rendeu.
Nice to see a very respectful analysis of Diniz. Yes, Europe has the best players, because they have the $$$$ to hire south americans for example. Copa Libertadores is probably the hardest competition to win, since the money gap between the clubs is not the abyss Europe has with other clubs. There is also the whole atmosphere, the fact that is way harder to keep the elite players since they'll leave for Europe or retire since are veterans. Champions League is awesome, but will never be La Copa.
Im curious to see if Diniz learn something more after "failed" at Brazil national team. Now he is going to coach my Cruzeiro. Your videos are very good man
The problem with these tactics is that they can't be implemented with players playing in different leagues, that is why it is hard for him to implement it with the national team. The brazilian players playing in Europe are so used to positional football tactics that it is hard to grasp the concepts of Relationalism also he doesn't get enough time with them to train and drill the movements until they can grasp them. After the international break is over they go back to their clubs. That is why, these tactics will never reach the heights of positional play in terms of being implemented by European teams.
É a primeira vez que está sendo implementada e você já tira todas essas conclusões? é óbvio que levará tempo, mas não significa que é impossível implementar. Eu acredito que seja possível sim, só precisa de mais tempo, além de que o próprio diniz vem convocando jogadores como o André, que já conhece muito bem o estilo de jogo
I believe that in national team be hard implement, because he not have time for working. But in team inside europe is possible, because in the brazil the teans also playing posicional game, and Diniz implement in taem that for training e not have much dificu.
He played 4 games only with the National team. He had to let the guys who went to the Cup have their chance and also test others. If Brazil qualifies in third or fourth, doesn't matter, if the football played in the second half of the qualifiers is good. The last 2 times Brazil won the Cup, it struggled to qualify.
@@oBrunoo Mesmo assim, o time do Flu treina toda semana, a seleção brasileira faz 2-3 treinos uma vez no mês e às vezes o intervalo entre as data FIFA são ainda maiores. Não é questao de mais tempo, e sim da intensidade de treinos nesse "mais tempo", coisa que a seleção brasileira é incapaz de oferecer. E sobre as convocações, só André, Nino e possivelmente o John Kennedy servem pra esse argumento, ainda existem outros 23 jogadores acostumados com os outros estilos. Sou torcedor do Fluminense.
The recipe: Marcelo, won everything in Europe, returned to Brazil to continue winning with the team that created him, he is an insatiable multi-champion; Cano, goalscorer with more than 80% of his shots in just one touch of the ball and top scorer in the competition with 13 goals; John Kennedy, a boy but with the maturity of a winner, doesn't give up on the ball and is very skillful; Ganso, the team's conductor, distributes the ball as if he were conducting an orchestra; André, a giant midfielder, intelligent and with a lot of physical strength, knows how to defend very well when the game situation changes; Nino, a goalscoring defender, has a lot of presence in the area in both defense and attack; Fábio, senior goalkeeper (42 years old) but with sharp reflexes, in his 100th game for the Libertadores da América he was champion... I could talk here about all the ingredients on the field like Arias, Keno, Felipe Melo, etc, etc, etc. And not to be missed; Fernando Diniz, coach, psychologist and magician, has the team in hand and is very loved by the group who are very well trained for different situations in the game. The result: FLUMINENSE CHAMPION OF LIBERTADORES DA AMERICA IN 2023.
Diniz attracts all the opposing team's players to just one side of the field. Generating numerical superiority in another sector. It is the deconstruction of the positional game. We are facing the appositional game. Genius, genius, genius
As Santos fan I enjoy what Dinis is doing. When he was Santos' coach i enjoy his work. Well good lucky Fluminense and hope see you play against ManCity
Diniz´s tactics haven´t worked on the National team yet, probably because most of the players are so deep into positional play, as most of the squad plays in europe. Vini and Bruno are two extraordinary players, but they haven´t developed that sense of relationism in the squad as much , as they left brazil pretty early and found their path on european football, so the roles on the pitch for them are still pretty much coincident to the positional play. Vini is stuck in the wing while Bruno lays back the game at times. Though, I believe on Diniz´s potential to bring back the Jogo Bonito, he just needs time, just like in the clubs, he always had quick stays at clubs, 9 months max, because results to relationism don´t come quick, so Fluminense believed on him and now they are Libertadores champions.
lots of good veterans in Flumense as well! Marcelo as former R.Madrid star, Felipe Melo is a legend at Galatasaray & Palmeiras, Ganso used to be the guy playing alongside Neymar and often performing with equal class, Keno has impressive skills, Cano is a fabulous striker, Fabio is an underrated GK and was also as important as the new blood John Kennedy & André a title to validate Diniz internationally and give Nense supporters their apex win
Sometimes novelty alone is sufficient to gain an advantage. Only time will determine if this system is a revolution or will be easily counteracted and fades into the annals if history.
At least in the context of Diniz, this isn't novelty, however. Quite the opposite, Diniz has being playing this kind of football from the beginning, and he has been very well known in Brazil for quite the long time. His tactics have evolved, of course, but his essence is still the same. The reason he is only getting talked about more broadly recently is that this is the first time he's been able to convert his philosophy into titles. Previously, he has been known for building squads that play good football, but we're never quite able to get the top spot in anything. I know this doesn't necessarily mean this philosophy will be successful at the highest level of football, and I don't even disagree with you. All I'm saying is that, at least in Brazil, the more time goes on it seems that Diniz's relationism is the one ahead of the adaptation curve, not the other way around.
He is developing this system since 2014 at least. It only got better with time. Its not a mere possibility, it's a reality now that Fluminense has won the Libertadores. I dont know if it will ever surpass Guardiola's tactics, for example, but novelty is definitely not the cause of its success.
We also need to thank Dr Eduardo, his assistant coach. He is responsible for the defense and together they managed to evolve a lot tactically@@andreysantos6660
It's not about occupying the same position. It's about keeping a line between players without opposition. Its about creating passing options, opportunities for dummies etc. Thinking about positional play is talking about space, you can draw lines, but you are thinking about area. If you talk about relational play, that's all about the lines, you can talk about the overload in a specific area, but you are always thinking about the lines. Look at the amount of options that everyone have when they have the ball, everyone else gravitates towards them to create more lines of options
Thats amazing content!!! As brazilian, Fernando Diniz is not just changing everything we know about football tatics, but also he is changing how we treat football players, clubs and all aspects around our football structure. Besides football coach, he is psychologist and he faces the football world ( which is Brazil is really tough) from a different perspective. If you look for his enterviews he always come up with the importance of support the players, especially mentally, because we know the humble origins of football players in brazil and sometimes this mens are not ready to assume this pressure. I would say that he is the brazilian Ted Lasso, as he always says, "winning is not important. Important is to be a great man, great husband, dad and son".
PH Ganso. Played number 10 for Brazil back in 2011. Was considered a flop at Sevilla but this system has brought him back from the football scrap heap. What a player
Have u seen, at the 1st goal, Ganso pointing to keep rolling the ball but the players went to attack? That was a few options for the players. That what Diniz can show. Players can rotate as if it was futsal.@@austinedeclan10
@@paralleluniverse99while Santos did have more outstanding players, Fluminense is the birthplace of brazillian football in the way it is. The oldest big club, our stadium being the first home of the national team, and for over 50 years being undoubtedly the biggest club in Brazil.
@@JVRD27, the birthplace of "Seleção Brasileira", the Brazil national team. Fluminense stadium was the first home of Seleção Brasileira, and the place where the Seleção won its first championship. Also, the first goal scored by the Seleção was by a Fluminense player. Nelson Rodrigues, an old Brazilian writer said that it's impossible to walk through Fluminense and not stumble into glory!
As a Fluminense's fan, I say congratulations on the video, great job. This style demands a lot of training, I don't think it would work on a national team that trains a lot less together. Ancelotti is expected to train Brazil after his contract with Real and Diniz will keep 100% on Flu. Nino is already 26, but he is doing a great job and deserves better then the team in England he is probably going to. As far as Diniz, he is very stuborn with the players he likes, even though they dont't deliver and he likes the team to pass the ball too much on the defense when the keeper starts the play.
Im a Grêmio fan, and also a huge admirer of Diniz work in Fluminense. Congrats for your video! Amazing critical vision and knowledge of the game. Im afraid we do not have this level of analysis here in Brasil. Cheers!
The most underrated player from that team is definitely Fábio. It's been almost 15 years he's one of the best if not the best goalkeeper in Brazil and yet he never got the chance to play in the Seleção. The 7x1 would've never happened with Fábio in goal. Top 5 Brazilian keeper in history with record amount of clean sheets
@@yaguaretemusic8735 O cara é um dos goleiros com mais partidas sem tomar gols da história ( creio que é top 1 nesse quesito ), mas quem tá certo é você, beleza kkkkkkk
Nice video, you should make one only for André, this guy is a serious candidate to be an top player from premier league or any top team. If you Sofascore has a lot of his stats. Great video
the idea of one player comfortably assuming different positions is simple but yet genius! I see this as an evolution for football, making in more interesting and competitive. Great video btw
As a Fluminense Fan, i'm very proud to see a video like that. 15 years ago, we lost the Libertadores's Final, and today, after this long time, we have our redenption. Our team have a lot of good players like John Arias, Ganso, Marcelo, Cano, and it's a great reason to be happy with the beautiful game that we show to the world. Diniz is a intelligent manager, with good ideas, but he need to improve the defense of his teams, but he achieved it in this year, the play style was very improved, with good central back like Nino and Felipe Melo and awesomes left and right back, Diogo Barbosa/Marcelo and Samuel Xavier. I love this team and i'm very gratefull for the awesome work of Diniz and Fluminense in this year. VITÓRIA, FLUMINENSE! VAAAAAMOS TRICOLOORES, CHEGOU A HORA CELEBRAR A LIBERTADORES❤💚❤💚❤💚❤💚❤💚❤💚❤💚❤💚❤💚🧸
Although there is a lot of freedom and movement between the players, Marcelo in particular has special freedom to go into the middle, at the end of the state champion he scored a goal as a right winger. His replacement in the Libertadores final, Diego Barbosa plays a much more traditional left-back role, without floating, almost scoring the title goal in the 90th minutes.
Total football everyone attributes to Cruyff took a lot of pointers from the style of Jimmy Hogan who coached the amazing Hungarian team with Puskas. Jimmy comes from working class town near Burnley in Lancashire but primarily coached abroad.
Great job! Nice of you to explain it so well to people like me who little about tactical studies on the pitch. As a Brazilian I would add a short comment about Fernando Diniz. He coached my Tricolor - São Paulo Futebol Clube - back in 2020 and the results were pretty miserable. We had more than 12 points lead to the 2nd place and he still managed to lose the « Brasileirão » - our Premier League - My opinion is that Mr. Diniz lacks is experience and true knowledge. Time will tell who is right, thanks.
I heard james on the radio sunday night. I was randomly listening to internet radio from west coast america and whose voice did i hear? Our boy james!!!! Although i did feel like the guy interviewing him was acting stupid. Like what james does as a ‘youtuber’ was some kind of crazy job from the future. But i was happy for james nonetheless
During Boca Juniors Goal, the rignt defensor (Samuel Xavier) was waiting to return for the match on the sideline for almost 1 minute and the referee did not allow him to return. So the deffense was not fully adjusted during the goa. BTW, what a F*** of referee...
“Created in Great Britain and perfected in Laranjeiras” 🇭🇺 Excellent explanation! Soon, Diniz x Guardiola at the Club World Cup 🏆 Fluminense against Man. City 🙌🏼
he was the coach of my team back in 2018 (Athletico-PR) I remember that I liked him but it didn't work cause we didn't have enough talent (he was at relegation when got sacked) but helped Bruno Guimarães become the player he current is, and also the rest of the team, they just used it more pragmatically with a different coach and won our first major international trophy with south american cup (europa league of us), I was at the stadium and my happiest day at club football
The most important variation that you didn’t mention is having both wingers playing together on the same side. Keno plays 1-2 with John Arias before crossing to Cano. That’s Diniz trademark.
There are some key elements that you haven´t talked about: 1) Nino, the captain of the team is another player that will problaby be in Europe very soon. 2) You should hear about the players talking about the training. It´s been said that Diniz puts the reserve squad with 12 players to force the main squad to be very sharp when creating the plays. He made the goalkeeper train his footwork so they could be more efficient when starting the moves. 3) Another detail is that Diniz is a former futsal player. That said, what he does is imagine the field is composed by several futsal courts where he puts more players in order to have more players close to the ball, making difficult for the opponent to defend.
A Holanda de 74 revolucionou o futebol pra sempre. Muitos daqueles conceitos são adaptados até hoje. Inclusive no atual Fluminense. Dado interessante é que Diniz foi um grande craque do futebol de salão. Modalidade praticada numa pequena área de campo de jogo.
Another underrated player from the fluminense squad is Jhon Arias. The guy never loses the ball and also has an incredible work rate whilst never getting tired.
Dude is a machine, he played two full games, went to play for Colombia, came back and played another 90 minutes. Our little engine!
Diehard Fluminense supporter here…. most definitely underrated and eternal Idol of Fluminense without a doubt. I like to think of him in comparison to Man Utd’s legendary Park Ji Sung or “3 Lung Park” in agreeing with what you said as both have very high work rates and can last an entire 90 min match without getting tired.
A player with John’s characteristics is really rare to find in football now a days…. What a true gem 💎 we got with John our “Colombian Pele”
💎🔥🇨🇴🇭🇺🤟🏻💯❗️
Against River Plate, when Fluminense wo 5-1, the 1 River Plate goal only happened when he lost the ball
But he is a very underrated player, always was
Árias é foda mano
Underrated by who? All Fluminense fan is grateful for Arias 🤘🏽
In addition to all this, there are two very curious facts about striker Germán Cano.
1) He has scored 13 goals in 12 games. No other player has scored so many goals in a single Libertadores edition in the 21st century.
2) He has been the world's top scorer for clubs since 2022
Players with the most goals in the world (by club) since the start of 2022:
81 - 🇦🇷 Germán Cano (Fluminense)
77 - 🇳🇴 Erling Haaland (Dortmund / Manchester City)
77 - 🇫🇷 Kylian Mbappé (PSG)
65 - 🏴 Harry Kane (Tottenham / Bayern)
64 - 🇫🇷 Karim Benzema (Real Madrid / Al-Ittihad)
Tomara q fique ali em dezembro, ja que o brasileirao acaba dia 6/12.
Cano é um cara que REAL eu queria que ele fosse tipo com 22/23 anos pra ver ele na Europa depois desse titulo
Brasileiro ele tem de modo mediano, mas acho que o foco do time em geral era na Liberta.
Na liberta ele se transformou e o Diniz melhorou MUITO a movimentação dele
do goals scored in the state championships also count?
@@SantomPhYes. Brazillian teams play a lot more games than european teams do, so the stat is kind of unfair. Still, it is impressive.
Not unfair at all, even more impressive, since the guy is 35yr old and playing every 2 or 3 days, with our schedule, the brazillian league has a ridiculously small time to train travel and rest.@@edinan9
as a liverpool fan it’s so frustrating to see liverpool begin to look away from andre as a 6, he’s absolutely perfect for the hole in our midfield
if i'm not mistaken, Andre made a promise to stay at Fluminense until the end of 2023, I think Liverpool will reach out to him for the next season
@@arumakan1Yes he did. He confirmed that he got an ofrer on July that he refused, because he promised Diniz that he would be at the team until the end of the year, trying to win the Libertadores. And well... He did the right choice. Will leave as a Fluminense Legend and loved by all of the fans.
the press here in Brazil us saying that Arsenal and Fulham are on the race to sign him alongside Liverpool.....Arsenal got a brazilian Sporting Director, this help the talks.
I've read that Liverpool's bid for André was below the release clause, Fluminense already has deals for Nino (defender) with Nottingham Forest, Liverpool can still reach a deal to have him after december, when the Brazilian season ends.
Playing in the Premier League, André will physically and mentally grow, becoming one of the best defensive midfielders in the world.
Basically Diniz transforms the field into various Futsal fields.
had never thought about it, but it makes total sense. Diniz played as a professional field football player; however, his strength was in futsal
@@guilhermeutech7756 in Brazil the majority of pro players played Futsal at young age: Neymar, Ronaldinho, Paquetá, Bruno Guimarães...
@@julianfernando19 Oporra, aqui é brasil carai
@@guilhermeutech7756 😂😂
That´s what I always think about Atalanta under Gasperini. Four player futsal combinations on the left side of the field, four player futsal combinations on the right side of the field and two "linking players" in the middle: a holding centerback and a playmaking attacking midfielder.

"Old dogs can learn new tricks".
Definitely, Diniz did this with some players on my Fluminense!
O Fábio que tinha "duas pernas esquerdas" está jogando com os pés como ninguém
Fluminense fan her since I was a child
In 2008, the team went to its first Libertadores Final ever. Lost in the penalties after a ridiculous game from Thiago Neves, scoring a hat trick, but losing the decisive penalty.
The fans went out with a very bad feeling that it could've been better. 15 years later, Fluminense wins the Libertadores for the first time.
For Fluminense fans, this is a very special title and the biggest one ever. We are looking forward to, hopefully, face Manchester City at the world club's tournament in december.
First, we have to go through that semifinal, but it would be very interesting watching Guardiola vs Fernando Diniz
E, com sorte, ainda vamos nos vingar da LDU na Supercopa, pela libertadores de 2008 e pela sul-americana de 2009.
We already had a major positional x anti positional matchup with bielsa x diniz, diniz did really bad being the favourite, lets see how he does when he's the underdog against man city, i just hope its a better game than brazil vs uruguay, that was one of the worst games of football ive ever seen in my life, that first half was definetly the worst.
You do realize that you are talking about the brazilian National team, right? It was, at most, the 4th game Diniz had and the players clearly are trying to adapt to his style of play, since most of them play a positional style in Europe and you can see it on the highlights of every Brazil match.@@Tuca46
And besides that, he is dividing responsibilities with Fluminense and the National Team as well and at that time, Fluminense had a semifinal of Libertadores ahead of them.
A bicicleta é maior que libertadores
@@samuraijack1k997 thats a convenient excuse, you will be able to use it forever if you need to since the players will always practice on positional style for 90% of the time because thats what they do on their clubs. That second point doesnt hurt his national team practice time so i dont get how that relates to your argument, it does hurt his fluminense time though, they lost a week to prepare to their games, glad it didnt matter at the end.
Really interesting tactics and great to see Fluminense win their first ever Copa Libertadores.
That final was one of the most entertaining games I've watched, pure chaos with the goal in ET and sending off for John Kennedy. He looks very decent, such a fun team to watch.
watch more of the brazilian league, lots of strong teams and very competitive. Flu is placed 8th and they won libertadores.
I really hope Diniz succeeds in the Brazil national team job
I really wish to see more analysis of South American clubs. To show there are some pretty good tacticians in here, Abel Ferreira is a great coach. Renato Gaucho is making a good job turning Luisito Suarez into a playmaker and with a very cheap team.
Agree with all the names you mentioned. But also Tite coaching Flamengo has now ramped up the level. The recent game between Tite's Flamengo and Abel's Palmeiras was a spectacular match of football. Tite may have failed with Brazil, but the man is an excellent coach with two serie a titles, a Libertadores, and Club world cup trophy. Next year, the Libertadores and Brasileirao are gonna be so much more competitive.
@@theflight5247 Tite is an excellent coach which I'm grateful for (flamengo fan here). After losing two cups he was hired for far below what he is worth, as if losing a world cup meant you are such a terrible coach.... tite's brazil was great (both of them, 2018 and 2022). It just happens that the world cup is the world cup. 82's brazil was magical and didn't win. Johan Cruyff never lifted the trophy either. Anyways, i'm glad we have him on board. Tite is a sound tactician and a very good coach. Now we need to replace some players...that will be the hardest part...2019's glories, you know....
Eu sou brasileiro, optei por escrever em meu idioma mesmo. Acredito que as táticas do Fernando Diniz podem trazer uma contribuição muito importante para o futebol, ela ainda carrega falhas, principalmente falhas defensivas, pois tiram os jogadores de posição e abrem espaços para contra ataques quando perdem a bola. Mas isso pode ser modificado, e cada treinador pode pegar o que mais lhe interessar e aplicar em seu time, bem como Diniz com o tempo pode modificar suas táticas. O ponto mais importante é o esporte evoluir dentro de campo, com novas formas de jogar, priorizando jogadores de bom passe, visão de jogo, nem sempre forte fisicamente, mas bons tecnicamente.
Achei que esse método se encaixa muito bem na filosofia do futebol brasileiro. Este estilo de jogo aproveita a principal vantagem que os jogadores brasileiros têm sobre os jogadores estrangeiros: improvisação e habilidade decorrente de uma rica tradição de dribles de perto através do futsal.
Concordo com o comentario sob o ponto de vista do ataque. Defensivamente, o estilo deixa muito a desejar. Um exemplo foi o jogo contra o Boca, um time muito limitado e sem jogadores com muito dominio de bola mas com muita raca. Eles conseguiram empatar e em boa parte do jogo tomar conta da iniciativa (embora bem limitada). Acredito que o numero de chutes em gol foi bem parelho. Eh por este motivo que a nivel selecao, o conceito tem que ser trabalhado bem mais antes de ser aplicado.
@@Guavauava Rapaz, isso há 20 anos era uma verdade, mas o futebol evoluiu, e hoje países como Inglaterra, França, Argentina, estão à frente do Brasil nesses quesitos.
As falhas defensivas acontecem porque os jogadores de meio campo sao lentos. Marcelo toma bola nas costas facil e nao tem idade pra voltar em velocidade, tanto que o Alexsander que cobre ele.
Um LE de velocidade e um meia motorzinho como arrascaeta facilmente resolveriam isso.
Mas obvio q o estilo do diniz pode melhorar mais ainda.
Corinthians ja fez uns 10 gols no fluminense em contra-ataque, estamos falando do Corinthians ul time mediocre pra fazer gols
Fluminense fan here
One aspect to Diniz' work that I believe is often overlooked is the way he works with the players themselves. The best example of this is John Kennedy himself, who, in the beggining of the year, was at a loan to a smaller club and was about to be let go because of some behavioural issues. However, Diniz kept him in the team and build a trust relationship with him, which enabled him to go from about to scoring arguably the most important goal in the clubs history. Often times nowadays we expect things, and worst of all, people, to just work on the first time around without any adjustment and that's just not the way it goes.
Well said.
Obrigado por fazer o trabalho de comentar isso, caso não encontrasse seu comentário eu teria que fazer isso
Provavelmente o aspecto mais importante do trabalho do Diniz, sem a relação que ele cria com os jogadores esse estilo de jogo aposicional seria quase impossível de implementar
A potential CWC final with City could be really interesting
Vai ser um duelo extremamente interessante entre dois opostos de um conceito. Guardiola o maior defensor do jogo posicional e o diniz com o jogo aposicional(anti-posicional), ou como alguns preferem relacionismo.
Goleada feia do city haha
O Fluminense será esmagado, time muito velho para aguentar os contra-ataques do City.
@@alvarohigino Falaram isso quando o Cano entrou, ai foi artilheiro de 2022. Falaram isso no começo do ano, e ganharam a libertadores. Faz mais sentido falar que o time tem menos qualidade técnica e tática que o City
@@Vergil3489amigo, time do Fluminense não é isso tudo que você tá imaginando não (não tenho nada contra o Fluminense) mas vocês foram esmagados para o internacional dentro e fora de casa, Internacional não passou pq o Ener Valência perdeu uns 3 gols feitos e vocês tem um cara chamado Cano que faz gol até de olho fechado. Ganharam a final de um time que não vencia a 9 jogos e não ganhou um jogo de mata mata da libertadores, time que veio jogar uma final pra empatar e ganharam sofrido ainda. O City vai amassar o Fluminense e se o Fluminense passar ainda do time do Benzema né.
As a fluminense fan, I’m happy to see the gringos showing the love to the south american champions!
"the gringos" kkkkkkk
Brother, tu sabe que "gringo" é um jeito BR de falar né? Se for falar em inglês você pode usar "foreign people" pra se referir a extrangeiros...
Just KNEW this video was coming, great as always
Great vid, just one thing to add!
Something that other countries tend to not get is the way Brazil played the 4-2-4: Brazil played that style for almost.... 20 years. It consisted of two wingers, a centerfoward and a position that we called "ponta de lança" (spearhead, literally), which was almost a second striker and given to the most skilled attacker, like Pele.
When Diniz made 3 subs, getting John Kennedy, Diogo Barbosa and Lima at the field, Germán Cano backed to the "ponta de lança" position, penetrating the defense and also going back to defend, while John, young, rested and full of personality, got to receive the ball against very tired adverseries.
Diniz style of play not only is getting back the real brazilian style of play, but also rescuing old brazilian traditions and mixing them: most of 50's and 60's videos show very static formations, like the positional players today so adding up the brazilian "casual" football of exchanging positions when necessary makes it seem like not only a ressurgence of "jogo bonito", but a try at "jogo bonito 2.0".
Incredible comment
Que profundidade em termos de conhecimento de futebol. Melhor comentário
Need to look into that Girona manager as well he has some interesting tactics
Watching the game, you can see the discomfort of the Boca players with flu overload positions and short passes, often not knowing what to do they end up giving up on marking. Personally, I would like to see Diniz in Europe with a prime squad.
You do such a brilliant job breaking it down so everyone can understand. I really appreciate your analysis!
The purist football did this video 5 months ago and suddenly channels like this and statman Dave have got their own ones up this week that are remarkably similar.
Might want to remove your head from his cheeks since it’s just a copy and paste job.
Relationism is in the edge between chaos and order, it is to encrease entropy in the system. That was the tactic that made possible Pelé or Garrincha evolve to play like legends. It's the old way of the brazilian national team before Positionism arose in Brazil, which is an european tactic (positionism).
Fernando Diniz is rescuing it from the old days.
Sorry for my broken english.
It's the only team in Brazil which plays like that nowadays. Another team with strange technics is Palmeiras, which lets the other team to play almost freely, it's an omissive-aggressive stance.
The day they mix the relationism with the omissive-aggressive stance will be the beggining of a new tactical premise.
"Created in Great Britain and perfected in Laranjeiras", Fluminense Football Club is amazing! Soon we'll watch Diniz x Guardiola at the Club World Cup. Fluminense against Manchester City will be the pinacle of this year, you'll see!
Malmö FF is kind of doing this in Sweden. They’re playing for the league title this sunday.
👏🏻👏🏻
I'm a fan from a team that is Fluminense's biggest rival (Flamengo), and I can guarantee for sure that they currently have the best football outside of Europe, even being a rival I'm always watching their matches due to how satisfying it is to watch them play

Fernando Diniz often used to go to the high school I studied at to talk with the futsal coach - which was my coach at the time. Hence I talked to him a couple of times but obviously a long long time ago and he was always incredibly kind to me and to the other kids. It happened in Sao Paulo in 2006. I really happy to see he's getting the appreciation he deserves.
OK, great video, but I want to bring up another approach regarding what you said at 1:20 to 1:45 : Rinus Michels' Dutch team (74 - 78) definitely created new concepts and inspires coaches (directly or indirectly) to this day, just as Cruifjj's teams. But we can't let Brazil's 1970 team out of this conversation.
Due to having four stars who would normally play the same position in a team (Pelé, Gérson, Rivellino and Tostão), legendary coach Zagallo took a revolutionary decision. He moved Gérson back almost to a defensive midfielder and played Tostão as a "falso 9" , which literally means an offensive player positioned on the pitch as a striker but in reality, moves freely out of the box with the main purpose of creating rather than finishing plays. He brought in Jairzinho to play up as a winger instead of putting him at center forward, the position he usually played for his club. And finally, he left Pelé free to play up front, just as Guardiola did MANY, MANY years later with Messi.
Rinus Michels saw this and went one step further, leaving virtually no fixed-position players in his team. This mixture of the Brazilian team of '70 and the Dutch team of '74 ended up culminating in Telê Santana's choices in '82 when he had Zico, Sócrates, Falcão and Éder.
Let's keep In mind that the 1982 World Cup was held in Spain and Pep Guardiola has openly said during interviews that he based some of this ideas on the tactics of that team, which unfortunately ended up losing to Italy and which is the greatest translation of "Joga bonito", the term that you guys from abroad admire so much and that we Brazilians have also adopted after the Nike ads hahaha
The bottom line is this: You can't tell which was the specific origin of relativism in Football, but certainly, the Brazilian team of '70 had a big influence on this ideology. Just like the Dutch in '74 and the teams led by Johan Cruijff in Barcelona...
Relationism*
Your video is really good, man. Thanks for spreading the word and showing some of Diniz's brilliant style in Europe. goodbye and Saudações Tricolores 😀
I'm a Fluminense supporter
Unfortunately for us, our captain, Nino will move to Nottingham Forest in January
And here in brazil, the word was that the Fluminense president and André had a deal for him to stay in 2023 and chase libertadores no matter what.
Now that libertadores is over, the club is awaiting 30+ million euros offers for him. As a Fluminense fan, even knowing thats a lot of money, i would say that's a bargain. He isn't a player easily replaced. This squad will never be forgotten
Cara, Infelizmente os europeus veem André como ainda alguém que deve ser testado saca, Porque ele ainda não pisou na tal EUROPA. Quantos maluco ai que com uma temporada já pagam 60 milhões só porque é Europeu.
Europeus pagaram 45-50 milhoes em várias apostas@@johnalbertwrestling
se o André jogasse no flamengo já tinha saído a 60 milhoes
Reinier, Vinicius JR, Vinicius, Endrick, vários caras que vão ser testados ainda...
30 milhões de euros não pega não, no máximo 20 ou 25.
E novamente os clubes europeus destroem os clubes brasileiros pagando valores absurdos em jogadores importantes para muitas vezes deixá-los de lado ou simplesmente contaminam ele com o futebol de lá
Eu realmente espero que a arábia saudita comece fazer o mesmo com eles

Brazil adopted an more positional and defensive stance after Tele Santana defeat on 1982 and 1986 World Cups (1982 squad is regarded as one of the best Brazilian teams ever with Zico, Falcão, Cerezo, Socrares and Junior).
Tele himself did managed to win World club title twice with São Paulo on 1992/1993 (on 1992 with Guardiola himself as the main midfielder for Barcelona).
Unfortenatly for South American Clubs the end of the Max 3 foreingners on European teams and Bosman Ruling made the Gap between South American and European Clubs too wide.and barely winnable.
Corinthians was the last one but It It had some luck to face Chelsea without Drogba instead of Bayern or Real Madrid (or Even Chelsea with Drogba instead of Fernando Torres)
But since than It is a fact that Brazil seldomly adopted skilled central midfielders like Cerezo and Falcão, opting instead for players like Dunga and Mauro Silva or Gilberto Silva and Kleberson.
Caramba, gostei da forma como vc analisou ó palmeiras, nunca prestei atenção nas taticas deles
O Marcelo na lateral não cria mais, não rende muito ao time, mas, se torna um gênio no meio campo com sua inteligência, pensamento rápido e precisão.
Deveria jogar de média de criação faz tempo já e deixar lateral pros mais meninos
Eu sempre achei o Marcelo melhor criando jogadas do que marcando
@@lucasvilasanticosta1888Marcelo sempre foi mal marcador, que pena que o Felipe Luis não foi titular na copa de 2018.
Fugir da marcação na lateral é mais simples, já que você só tem um ângulo de 180 graus para se preocupar, jogar no meio você tem que ter atenção 360 graus. Difícil de se adaptar, podemos pegar o Daniel Alves como exemplo, jogou no meio várias vezes, mas nunca rendeu.
VICTORY, FLUMINENSE!!!
André is the one to go 100%
Great job. I suggest analyzing the game Fluminense 4 x 1 Flamengo during the final of the regional championship (campeonato carioca) in early 2023.
Nice to see a very respectful analysis of Diniz. Yes, Europe has the best players, because they have the $$$$ to hire south americans for example. Copa Libertadores is probably the hardest competition to win, since the money gap between the clubs is not the abyss Europe has with other clubs. There is also the whole atmosphere, the fact that is way harder to keep the elite players since they'll leave for Europe or retire since are veterans.
Champions League is awesome, but will never be La Copa.
Awesome content! Brilliant analysis from Fluminense’s style! 🇭🇺🏆👏🏼
Im curious to see if Diniz learn something more after "failed" at Brazil national team. Now he is going to coach my Cruzeiro. Your videos are very good man
The problem with these tactics is that they can't be implemented with players playing in different leagues, that is why it is hard for him to implement it with the national team. The brazilian players playing in Europe are so used to positional football tactics that it is hard to grasp the concepts of Relationalism also he doesn't get enough time with them to train and drill the movements until they can grasp them. After the international break is over they go back to their clubs. That is why, these tactics will never reach the heights of positional play in terms of being implemented by European teams.
É a primeira vez que está sendo implementada e você já tira todas essas conclusões? é óbvio que levará tempo, mas não significa que é impossível implementar. Eu acredito que seja possível sim, só precisa de mais tempo, além de que o próprio diniz vem convocando jogadores como o André, que já conhece muito bem o estilo de jogo
I believe that in national team be hard implement, because he not have time for working. But in team inside europe is possible, because in the brazil the teans also playing posicional game, and Diniz implement in taem that for training e not have much dificu.
@@oBrunooé oq sempre digo e queria ver isso na seleção, a não ser que prejudique meu Fluzão
He played 4 games only with the National team. He had to let the guys who went to the Cup have their chance and also test others. If Brazil qualifies in third or fourth, doesn't matter, if the football played in the second half of the qualifiers is good. The last 2 times Brazil won the Cup, it struggled to qualify.
@@oBrunoo Mesmo assim, o time do Flu treina toda semana, a seleção brasileira faz 2-3 treinos uma vez no mês e às vezes o intervalo entre as data FIFA são ainda maiores. Não é questao de mais tempo, e sim da intensidade de treinos nesse "mais tempo", coisa que a seleção brasileira é incapaz de oferecer. E sobre as convocações, só André, Nino e possivelmente o John Kennedy servem pra esse argumento, ainda existem outros 23 jogadores acostumados com os outros estilos.
Sou torcedor do Fluminense.
The recipe: Marcelo, won everything in Europe, returned to Brazil to continue winning with the team that created him, he is an insatiable multi-champion; Cano, goalscorer with more than 80% of his shots in just one touch of the ball and top scorer in the competition with 13 goals; John Kennedy, a boy but with the maturity of a winner, doesn't give up on the ball and is very skillful; Ganso, the team's conductor, distributes the ball as if he were conducting an orchestra; André, a giant midfielder, intelligent and with a lot of physical strength, knows how to defend very well when the game situation changes; Nino, a goalscoring defender, has a lot of presence in the area in both defense and attack; Fábio, senior goalkeeper (42 years old) but with sharp reflexes, in his 100th game for the Libertadores da América he was champion... I could talk here about all the ingredients on the field like Arias, Keno, Felipe Melo, etc, etc, etc. And not to be missed; Fernando Diniz, coach, psychologist and magician, has the team in hand and is very loved by the group who are very well trained for different situations in the game. The result: FLUMINENSE CHAMPION OF LIBERTADORES DA AMERICA IN 2023.
Diniz attracts all the opposing team's players to just one side of the field. Generating numerical superiority in another sector. It is the deconstruction of the positional game. We are facing the appositional game. Genius, genius, genius
Diniz is my last hope for brazilian football
As Santos fan I enjoy what Dinis is doing. When he was Santos' coach i enjoy his work. Well good lucky Fluminense and hope see you play against ManCity

Fluminense fan here, loved your video and all the insights about Fernando Diniz. I’m a big fan of him as well.
Diniz´s tactics haven´t worked on the National team yet, probably because most of the players are so deep into positional play, as most of the squad plays in europe. Vini and Bruno are two extraordinary players, but they haven´t developed that sense of relationism in the squad as much , as they left brazil pretty early and found their path on european football, so the roles on the pitch for them are still pretty much coincident to the positional play. Vini is stuck in the wing while Bruno lays back the game at times. Though, I believe on Diniz´s potential to bring back the Jogo Bonito, he just needs time, just like in the clubs, he always had quick stays at clubs, 9 months max, because results to relationism don´t come quick, so Fluminense believed on him and now they are Libertadores champions.
lots of good veterans in Flumense as well! Marcelo as former R.Madrid star, Felipe Melo is a legend at Galatasaray & Palmeiras, Ganso used to be the guy playing alongside Neymar and often performing with equal class, Keno has impressive skills, Cano is a fabulous striker, Fabio is an underrated GK and was also as important as the new blood John Kennedy & André
a title to validate Diniz internationally and give Nense supporters their apex win
Sometimes novelty alone is sufficient to gain an advantage. Only time will determine if this system is a revolution or will be easily counteracted and fades into the annals if history.
At least in the context of Diniz, this isn't novelty, however. Quite the opposite, Diniz has being playing this kind of football from the beginning, and he has been very well known in Brazil for quite the long time. His tactics have evolved, of course, but his essence is still the same.
The reason he is only getting talked about more broadly recently is that this is the first time he's been able to convert his philosophy into titles. Previously, he has been known for building squads that play good football, but we're never quite able to get the top spot in anything.
I know this doesn't necessarily mean this philosophy will be successful at the highest level of football, and I don't even disagree with you. All I'm saying is that, at least in Brazil, the more time goes on it seems that Diniz's relationism is the one ahead of the adaptation curve, not the other way around.
He is developing this system since 2014 at least. It only got better with time. Its not a mere possibility, it's a reality now that Fluminense has won the Libertadores. I dont know if it will ever surpass Guardiola's tactics, for example, but novelty is definitely not the cause of its success.
We also need to thank Dr Eduardo, his assistant coach. He is responsible for the defense and together they managed to evolve a lot tactically@@andreysantos6660
It's not about occupying the same position. It's about keeping a line between players without opposition. Its about creating passing options, opportunities for dummies etc. Thinking about positional play is talking about space, you can draw lines, but you are thinking about area. If you talk about relational play, that's all about the lines, you can talk about the overload in a specific area, but you are always thinking about the lines. Look at the amount of options that everyone have when they have the ball, everyone else gravitates towards them to create more lines of options
Superioridade numérica de jogadores em um determinado local do campo.
Thats amazing content!!! As brazilian, Fernando Diniz is not just changing everything we know about football tatics, but also he is changing how we treat football players, clubs and all aspects around our football structure. Besides football coach, he is psychologist and he faces the football world ( which is Brazil is really tough) from a different perspective. If you look for his enterviews he always come up with the importance of support the players, especially mentally, because we know the humble origins of football players in brazil and sometimes this mens are not ready to assume this pressure.
I would say that he is the brazilian Ted Lasso, as he always says, "winning is not important. Important is to be a great man, great husband, dad and son".
I'm so happy that you guys enjoy and learn about this dangerous and magnific way to play football, I'm from brazil and that's my team
Andre trinidad and that guy who played no 10 once for brazil way back are the main connectors of the team .
PH Ganso. Played number 10 for Brazil back in 2011. Was considered a flop at Sevilla but this system has brought him back from the football scrap heap. What a player
Have u seen, at the 1st goal, Ganso pointing to keep rolling the ball but the players went to attack? That was a few options for the players. That what Diniz can show. Players can rotate as if it was futsal.@@austinedeclan10

As a Fluminense's fan, I say congratulations on the video, great job.
This style demands a lot of training, I don't think it would work on a national team that trains a lot less together.
Ancelotti is expected to train Brazil after his contract with Real and Diniz will keep 100% on Flu.
Nino is already 26, but he is doing a great job and deserves better then the team in England he is probably going to.
As far as Diniz, he is very stuborn with the players he likes, even though they dont't deliver and he likes the team to pass the ball too much on the defense when the keeper starts the play.
Im a Grêmio fan, and also a huge admirer of Diniz work in Fluminense. Congrats for your video! Amazing critical vision and knowledge of the game. Im afraid we do not have this level of analysis here in Brasil. Cheers!
Diniz just took over as coach for my squad, Cruzeiro. Watching these futsal esque tactics in person is just so cool.
The most underrated player from that team is definitely Fábio. It's been almost 15 years he's one of the best if not the best goalkeeper in Brazil and yet he never got the chance to play in the Seleção. The 7x1 would've never happened with Fábio in goal. Top 5 Brazilian keeper in history with record amount of clean sheets
Fabio learned how to play with his foot. He’s “just” 43 now but I understand that u r speaking about his hole career, even not at Fluminense.
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk Fábio tomou goleada até do Atlético, não ia tomar da Alemanha? Sai daí doente
@@yaguaretemusic8735 O cara é um dos goleiros com mais partidas sem tomar gols da história ( creio que é top 1 nesse quesito ), mas quem tá certo é você, beleza kkkkkkk
Nice video, you should make one only for André, this guy is a serious candidate to be an top player from premier league or any top team. If you Sofascore has a lot of his stats.
Great video
Video is a banger. First time watching. Subscribed immediately
the idea of one player comfortably assuming different positions is simple but yet genius! I see this as an evolution for football, making in more interesting and competitive. Great video btw
GRANDES LOS TECNICOS BRASILEÑOS LOS MEJORES THE BEST saludos desde QUITO LUZ de america
Parabéns pela analise! Aos tricolores que chegaram aqui dá um pulo aqui no canal, gravei um vlogaço lá no maraca! tmjjjjjjjjj
Great analysis, congratulations
As a Fluminense Fan, i'm very proud to see a video like that.
15 years ago, we lost the Libertadores's Final, and today, after this long time, we have our redenption. Our team have a lot of good players like John Arias, Ganso, Marcelo, Cano, and it's a great reason to be happy with the beautiful game that we show to the world. Diniz is a intelligent manager, with good ideas, but he need to improve the defense of his teams, but he achieved it in this year, the play style was very improved, with good central back like Nino and Felipe Melo and awesomes left and right back, Diogo Barbosa/Marcelo and Samuel Xavier.
I love this team and i'm very gratefull for the awesome work of Diniz and Fluminense in this year.
VITÓRIA, FLUMINENSE! VAAAAAMOS TRICOLOORES, CHEGOU A HORA CELEBRAR A LIBERTADORES❤💚❤💚❤💚❤💚❤💚❤💚❤💚❤💚❤💚🧸
Um ótimo vídeo, terminando com personagens que arrepiam... 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Although there is a lot of freedom and movement between the players, Marcelo in particular has special freedom to go into the middle, at the end of the state champion he scored a goal as a right winger.
His replacement in the Libertadores final, Diego Barbosa plays a much more traditional left-back role, without floating, almost scoring the title goal in the 90th minutes.
Total football everyone attributes to Cruyff took a lot of pointers from the style of Jimmy Hogan who coached the amazing Hungarian team with Puskas. Jimmy comes from working class town near Burnley in Lancashire but primarily coached abroad.
Sou Tricolor de coração. Sou de um time tantas vezes Campeão!
Vence O Fluminense
Usando a Fidaulgia
Branco é Paz e Harmonia
Brilha como o Sol da Manhã
Ou com A Luz de Um Refletor
Salve O Tricolor.
in brazil, we call the tatics used by him called "dinizismo",
Campeão da libertadores!!!! Vamos tricolores!!!
Can you imagine the caos will be de World Club Chammpionship finals? Diniz (Fluminense) against Guardiola (M. City) VAMOOOOOOOS TRICOLORES
Football is a game of spaces.
Smartest players create spaces with and without the ball making the right move to receive the ball.
Dinizismo vai dominar o mundo!!!
Many Brazilians would love the possibility of seeing this. Could you put subtitles in Portuguese in an upcoming video?
Great job! Nice of you to explain it so well to people like me who little about tactical studies on the pitch. As a Brazilian I would add a short comment about Fernando Diniz. He coached my Tricolor - São Paulo Futebol Clube - back in 2020 and the results were pretty miserable. We had more than 12 points lead to the 2nd place and he still managed to lose the « Brasileirão » - our Premier League - My opinion is that Mr. Diniz lacks is experience and true knowledge. Time will tell who is right, thanks.
Im Brazilian and this was great!
Cheers from Brazil!
Obrigado por este vídeo!
I heard james on the radio sunday night. I was randomly listening to internet radio from west coast america and whose voice did i hear? Our boy james!!!! Although i did feel like the guy interviewing him was acting stupid. Like what james does as a ‘youtuber’ was some kind of crazy job from the future. But i was happy for james nonetheless
During Boca Juniors Goal, the rignt defensor (Samuel Xavier) was waiting to return for the match on the sideline for almost 1 minute and the referee did not allow him to return. So the deffense was not fully adjusted during the goa. BTW, what a F*** of referee...
Have u seen how long he was off? Crazy! RolBan was high……
Parabéns pelo conteúdo do vídeo. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
FLUMINENSE!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🏆🏆🏆
Would you believe me if I told you your take on Diniz makes more sense than the ones I see here in Brazil (and in Portuguese!)? Thanks and congrats!
I was waiting for this video
“Created in Great Britain and perfected in Laranjeiras” 🇭🇺 Excellent explanation! Soon, Diniz x Guardiola at the Club World Cup 🏆 Fluminense against Man. City 🙌🏼
he was the coach of my team back in 2018 (Athletico-PR) I remember that I liked him but it didn't work cause we didn't have enough talent (he was at relegation when got sacked) but helped Bruno Guimarães become the player he current is, and also the rest of the team, they just used it more pragmatically with a different coach and won our first major international trophy with south american cup (europa league of us), I was at the stadium and my happiest day at club football
You can make another video talking about the great young players that Diniz discover, his degree in psychology and the way he treat his players
Saudações Tricolores 🇭🇺
Excellent job, Mr Allcott. I shared your post on Facebook for 60k followers. Fluminense Eterno Amor (Eternal Love) group & page. 🤩
look at malmo under rydstrom! hes also doing this, thu influence of fluminense
Fluminense! Thank you for the content.
The most important variation that you didn’t mention is having both wingers playing together on the same side. Keno plays 1-2 with John Arias before crossing to Cano. That’s Diniz trademark.
There are some key elements that you haven´t talked about:
1) Nino, the captain of the team is another player that will problaby be in Europe very soon.
2) You should hear about the players talking about the training. It´s been said that Diniz puts the reserve squad with 12 players to force the main squad to be very sharp when creating the plays. He made the goalkeeper train his footwork so they could be more efficient when starting the moves.
3) Another detail is that Diniz is a former futsal player. That said, what he does is imagine the field is composed by several futsal courts where he puts more players in order to have more players close to the ball, making difficult for the opponent to defend.
The way fluminense play football is amazing, no one else on this Planet play like them, is Great to see and watch
Yeah it's a tactic created by Diniz based on futsal
That’s thenway I see it too. I imagine the same lines the video showed us but with futsal players @@joaovitorcamargo7165
A Holanda de 74 revolucionou o futebol pra sempre. Muitos daqueles conceitos são adaptados até hoje. Inclusive no atual Fluminense. Dado interessante é que Diniz foi um grande craque do futebol de salão. Modalidade praticada numa pequena área de campo de jogo.
I love Germán Cano and Kennedy! When I saw that someone named John Kennedy was entering the pitch I knew it was all over for Boca.
I hope he coaches the national team full time. Possession and passing along the ground was always the Brazilian style through the 80's and 90's.
olha os gringos aprendendo que meu time é gigante e o futebol aqui é diferenciado
I'm brazilian, and I'm wondering how this guy knows that much about Fluminense and Brazilian soccer/football?
Nice video, btw.
