We at TopGoal ® are naturally there at both events; we wish all football enthusiasts and, of course, all Ultimate Fighting Championship fans lots of viewing pleasure, and may the best Team and Man win.
We at TopGoal® are going to do both, Sir, so the more the merrier—that’s right, isn’t it, President Donald J. Trump? Next, we will briefly explain what’s on the table tonight; this is, and will be, the definition of Total Football—so for all non-football experts, here is the explanation:
Total Football is a revolutionary playing style in football where every player (except the goalkeeper) can fulfill multiple roles. Defenders attack, attackers join in defending, and positions constantly switch.
The team functions as one fluid whole.
The Core Principles of Total Football.
• Positional change (fluidity):
No player is tied to a single position. If an attacker moves towards the center, a midfielder moves forward or a defender fills the space. This keeps the team structure intact, but creates confusion for the opponent (no fixed man-marking possible). Johan Cruijff was the ultimate example of this: he started as a center forward but popped up wherever he could create danger.
• Utilizing space:
• In possession: Making the field large → players spread out, lots of passing and movement to create openings.
• Off the ball: Making the field small → applying high collective pressure (pressing), standing compactly, and taking the ball away from the opponent as quickly as possible.
Collective responsibility:
Everyone attacks and defends. Upon losing possession, even the attackers apply immediate pressure. In possession, defenders help build up play. This requires extremely fit, technically strong, and intelligent players who constantly correct one another.
• High line and offside trap:
The defense is often positioned high, leaving the opponent with little space behind them. The offside trap is deliberately used as a weapon.
• Formation:
Often 4-3-3 (or 3-4-3 if the libero moves forward). The goalkeeper is available to receive the ball and participates in the build-up.
• Origin: Rinus Michels developed it at AFC Ajax starting in 1965 (inspired by earlier English coaches such as Jack Reynolds) and perfected it with Johan Cruijff. It reached its peak at AFC Ajax x (3x European Cup I) and with the Dutch national team at the 1974 World Cup (the “Clockwork Orange”).
Although the Netherlands lost the final, this style changed modern football forever. Why was it so special?
• It was aesthetic, creative, and effective all at the same time.
• It broke with the rigid, defensive football of that era.
• It requires discipline and freedom: “Simple football” according to Cruijff legend Number 14, but extremely complex in execution.
Total Football still forms the basis of many modern systems (think of Pep Guardiola’s teams, which adopt many principles: high pressing, positional changes, and ball possession).
It is the reason why the Netherlands is still known for technical and attacking football.
In short: Total Football = 11 players operating as one intelligent, moving organism , that all Folks !
All joking aside – naturally, we wish you all the best and may the best opponent win, which is you of course. (MEGA – AWESOME)
