“Discover how to bring the decades old formation
up to date for the modern game”
The 4-3-3 was first developed in the late 1960s by the Dutch Coach Rinus Michels. England had just won the World Cup playing a regimented 4-4-2. Michels knew that if England were to be defeated, a more fluid style of play was urgently needed.
Michels dedicated three years of his life to analyzing the 4-4-2 and devising a way to beat it. The result was the formation that formed the basis for Dutch Total Football, the 4-3-3. This formation made players more mobile and free in movement, and was the secret to the rise of Dutch clubs and the Dutch national side to joining the European elite in the 70s and 80s.
Over four decades have since passed, but the 4-3-3 continues to be one of the best formations for teams that love to play attacking soccer. In Coaching the 4-3-3 Advanced Tactics you gain a blueprint on how to join them and being the spirit and style of Total Football to your pitch.
