The 4-3-3 Formation Guide [eBook]

Description

IN RESPONSE TO THE 1950 WORLD CUP FINAL DEFEAT AT HOME TO URUGUAY, BRAZIL STARTED TO USE A BACK LINE OF FOUR IN A 4-2-4 FORMATION. THEY WENT ON TO USE THIS FORMATION AT THE 1958 WORLD CUP, WHICH THEY WON. BY 1962, BRAZIL HAD ADAPTED ONCE MORE TO CREATE A 4-3-3 FORMATION STRUCTURE IN WHICH MÁRIO ZAGALLO DROPPED FROM THE FRONT LINE INTO MIDFIELD.

AT THE NEXT WORLD CUP, IN ENGLAND IN 1966, THE HOSTS AND EVENTUAL WINNERS USED A MORE PERMANENT DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDER – NOBBY STILES – IN A 4-1-2-3 FORMATION.

ALTHOUGH THE 4-3-3 WAS THEN USED ACROSS ITALY, ARGENTINA AND URUGUAY FOR YEARS TO COME, RINUS MICHELS’ NETHERLANDS AND AJAX SIDES OF THE 1970S WERE TWO OF THE MOST FAMOUS FOR INSPIRING THE USE OF A 4-3-3 SHAPE. IT WAS THESE TEAMS’ TACTICS THAT LED TO THE CONCEPT OF TOTAL FOOTBALL AND ENCOURAGED THE LIKES OF JOHAN CRUYFF TO USE A 4-3-3 WHEN HE BECAME A COACH, TOO.
