Description
If there is one thing that has permeated football debates since the birth of the sport, it is the question of the validity and effectiveness of one particular formation over another. With no "perfect" answer, history has seen a constant back and forth between formations as coaches tried to overcome and reinvent the prevailing trends of the moment.This relentless race to learn and innovate is one of the main reasons the sport is constantly evolving. Undoubtedly, a coach who can implement a formation strategy that his peers are unfamiliar with has a tremendous advantage going into a competition.Football formations refer to how players in a team are positioned on the pitch, and are decided according to how defensive or how attacking a side wants to be. For example, a manager who sees that the opposition has some dangerous attacking players may opt for an additional defender – and therefore one less midfielder or forward – in the lineup to nullify that threat.Teams are always trying to second-guess what tactics and formations the other teams are going to use in an attempt to outwit them on the pitch. In fact, it's often the case that a change in formation by one side during a game results in a swift change by the other team to compensate for the change.Formations are arrived at using the ten outfield players (i.e. all the players apart from the goalkeeper), and they describe the number of players in each area of the pitch, from the defence and then working upfield.This course will introduce you to the main tactical formations in football.
