There is not enough deception in football tactics.
There are “dark arts” for defense, blood and lack of consideration. But where are Trojan horses and tactical pain?
Players get more diversity all the time and (most of them) are also managers, they change the training regularly between the matches and within them. In fact, many managers these days will reject the idea of training.
But there are still basic differences between, for example, 4-3-3 and 3-4-2-1, and although many coaches are comfortable to replace them based on the game of the game-move to a three-minute back to know the last few minutes of progress 1-0, for example-no one changes the composition early in the game.
No one does that to deceive the other manager.
Imagine two teams to line up at 3-3-3s, with the wings that embrace the touch line and two of the eight in front of the defensive midfielder. In the first ten minutes, they feel each other, and get used to the patterns of their opponents.
Then each sudden team exchanges 3-4-2-1. The wings disappear, and the three triangles in the midfield become a form of four boxes, and the other side must scrambling to keep up with.
After five minutes, they change again. Or switch to a completely third system. It will be chaotic, but the team that planned for training in training will have a great advantage in these few feedback minutes of adaptation.
It may have a significant impact on the game because, at the risk of Highfalutin, it will require a new way to think about time.
Currently, people think about football only in a limited way: how long we have to stick to, when the first replacement must be made, when we throw the kitchen sink.
Time is a drain dance with the other team, which is something we interact with, and it is the variable that slides through our fingers.
The trap formations require the division of the game into parts of time and planning for each piece. Once we start thinking about this way, you may feel 90 minutes longer and richer – something to seize and control it.
