Anybody tested out the Episoketren System (just google it)? We've noticed many amazing things about this popular training program.
I enjoy watching soccer. 🙂
Excellent
Thank you for this video. Clear and concise explanation of formation and it's evolution.
NOW TORONTO FC DOMINATING WITH 3-5-2
Excellent video.
3-5-2 is cousin to the 5-3-2. 5-3-2 was used by Mexico..and the way PIOJO herrera uses it with Layun and Guardado… pretty much makes it a 3-5-2. Mexico had tremendous success with that formation. If Carlos vela would of been the 10 and Giovani moved into that CAM position. Mexico could have perhaps been in the Final against Germany.
The concaf was having a lot of success by playing their own styles which bennefited them against mainstream european formations.
3-5-2 is still really good. it works really good against tiki taka offeneses and has more control over the field and allows for a verstatile and deadly attack. WHich is why you saw NETHERLANDS punish SPAIN. because Netherlands has an amazing attack and 3 interiors and 2 flanks that allowed RVP and Robin to make a mokery out of a famed Modern European style formation.
where is the johan cruyff free flowing style? that got really popular
So why did 2-3-5 and these other formations go obsolete?
this is a very educational video. have read and watched about formations for a long time and there are still a new fact to learn (like the difference in numbering between the continents)
Great stuff Matt
Loved this! Can we have more?
good stuff!
Wow
Woo Inverting the Pyramid. Great book, I was completely lost while reading so much of the book but definitely expanded my understanding of the game.
love it , i just got the book
Really like this series. As someone without deep historic knowledge of the sport this is really enlightening.
I was sitting near you guys at the game yesterday!
Spelled America wrong…
1965? really? that seems so odd being that the sport has been around since the late 1800's
Awesome video with information really good to know how things started in football (soccer) since the sport is so old but the best
