Does a team need a complex tactical structure to be elite?
In recent times we have seen complex tactical approaches from managers and clubs like Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool and even Julian Nagelsmann’s Bayern Munich. But does a club need one to be successful? Real Madrid would argue not.
Jon Mackenzie explains, Marco Bevilacqua illustrates.

Carlo Ancelotti: "I am not an obsessive manager. I really like football, it's my passion, but I try to run things as simply as possible. To me, football is not complicated, it's simple. So is the strategy of the games, it shouldn't complicate things. Because there's two aspects: defence and attack. Attacking is more about creativity, and defending is more about organizination. I believe I can give more to the players in the defensive aspect than in the offensive aspect. I can organize them to defend well, but the attacking aspect is about talent and creativity and I don't want to get in the way of that talent. Am I supposed to tell Benzema how to move inside the box, train certain movements with him? No, he doesn't need that. The passes that Modric pulls out of nowhere: do you think I ever tell him "pass the ball like this, if this player moves here you do that"? No, that's all him."

Zidane's Madrid with the 3 peat also was similar in the sense that Zidane gave his players freedom, he gave tactical instructions, in game tweaks, and basic structure, but he knew he had elite players that didn't need stringent systems. That's why they won so much in historic fashion. Because great players need managers that trust them and help them to get the best out of themselves and the team.

Actually, Real always needs a coach who let's the players play with a fine touch on keeping the entire team at balance. Probably the reason why mourinho eventually had his fallout. Mourinho is the special one but at real he should have tried to show less of that. But then, he's Portuguese and Portuguese are extremely proud people. Other examples would include Vicente del Bosque and Jupp Heynckes even though Heynckes apparently had his issues with the stars as well.

Elite clubs still need system to compete. Trying to imitate this Real Madrid is way too risky. They are able to stay calm and focused on winning despite losing possession and having less chances because they know. That knowledge was collected through the years. Ever since La Decima to the 3 UCLs back to back with Zizou and including hard years after Ronaldo left. Through victory and defeat this team became immortal. Youngsters like Vini Jr, Rodrygo and Camavinga were massive for the victory but they needed the old guard to make sure it goes well and they did. Carlo was the perfect man for this changing room because of the way he can manage players. He saw people that won too much and talented youngsters then assured them they can't lose. I'm being a little cringe here, but as the Arsenal of 2004 are remembered as the Invincibles, I will remember this Real Madrid of 21-22 as the Immortals.

I think clubs need systems. It doesn't mean that you will never win without one, but I think the future of football is like Barcelona, City, and what Liverpool is trying to do. The big teams will have a system, from the first team all the way to the underage teams, "raising" players for the first team. I think thats the future of the game, with a few transferred players sprinkled in for positions with a lack of talent. Most top teams make 500+ million euros, with a big transfer budget. I bet that with the amount of big transfers that don't work out, or players that work out well enough, but leave on a free contract, teams are becoming weary of spending a hundred million for a player that might not even work out. I think teams are considering putting some of the transfer budget into the youth facilities, coaching, analytics, in the hopes that in a generation or two, they will have a crop of talent that could start filling in as the current generation starts ageing.

All fair play and props to Ancelotti, I'm a huge fan of him. But also I think Real Madrid is a unique story here, somewhat of a heritage I should say? I don't know man it's weird, just today they were 1-1 until the 89th minute and won the game 3-1 in the 96th minute (vs Espanyol) and this is why I love Madrid because their gameplay is to never give up. They have yet to miss the knockout stages a single season since the creation of the modern era Champions League format which is wiiiiiiiild. They're the only team to have done so too.

Usually across sports you'll see some teams that have the underdog mentality and will never stop fighting. What Real Madrid has done is try to twist this particular mentality on the other side of the spectrum. Instead of saying "we're the underdogs so we'll always fight" they have instilled a "we're Real Madrid, we're the absolute best in the history of the sport so it's our duty to always fight"

Is not just for themselves, and in current oil climate, is not that easy to have the elite of elite quality players in a club that is engraved in their hearts, that also makes them give an extra, you see them at some down points in certain games and you can see that they have something to fight for other than just their own personal glory.

Mental fortitude also played a huge role in their wins. While I'm sure Carlo Ancelotti was also influential in this regard (he is after all a manager especially known for winning knockout competitions), they did enjoy a similar level of psychological dominance under Zidane as well, so I would say that it expands beyond the manager. Probably knowing that you're playing for the most succesful club in the world and that you're almost always going to be on the advantage gives you a degree of gravitas and confidence that a 'new money' club like PSG or City just wouldn't be able to muster.

I don't think the city or PSG can eliminate the word "money club" from their agenda anytime soon, anything that they win will be undermined, and anything they do right will be tagged "oil money" or "blood". If City were to be bought by glazers tomorrow, they won't see much growth with it over the next 20 years as they did with united. Football fans have long memories, so as long as the tag exists, they will not outgrow existing historic establishments like Liverpool, United, Forest, Villa, etc. in England. & Real, Barca, & Milan teams, etc. Since they are state-owned clubs, the tagline will always be hanging over their heads in bold letters with lighting

Counter-attacking football only works if you have clinical finishers. These possessive-based teams can control the ball for as long as they want but if they can't finish their chances then it doesn't matter. Also, complex systems rarely work out because your players need to be 100% concentrated on the match and they become less focused the more fatigued they are. It's also difficult to make adjustments because if the coach is telling you to do something a certain way some players won't understand because they don't have the experience yet, and they rarely go over every possible scenario to win when their strategies get countered. Ancelotti and Zidane allowed their own players to develop their own adjustments based on their strengths and weaknesses. I remember watching the first half of the Liverpool vs Real Madrid champions league final and I told my brother that Benzema only needed 1 chance to score. Although Beneza's goal was ruled offside it still found the back of the net on his first shot attempt at goal. Minutes later Vinicius scored a goal behind TAA to secure the win. This Real Madrid side was not lucky their players showed up in these big games.

Elite psychology, mental fortitude and excellent energy management. Those "lucky" late goals do not look as lucky when energy levels are included in the perspective. Playing less intense saves you more energy for late in games, and players with strong mentality and psychology will always be more clinical than what it appears to be late in games. When a team regularly scores goals late in clutch games, it's no longer "luck".

Giving the responsibility to the players rather than a guy playing FIFA video game with his team from the side lines. The kind of football that produced the best players. Just look at a guy like Jesus, everything Brazilian about him was suppressed by Guardiola but a guy like vinucius is a joy to watch and showing what it means to be a Brazilian, and this is why I hate modern coaches and football, no room for the players and it's all about the managers. Real Madrid won with old school football and they believed in everything old school l, like the history and legacy of the club, passion, hardwork, fighting spirit and both the coach and the players brought into the legacy of real Madrid and screwed over these system merchants with sheer determination and passion and for that I am happy. I mean what kind of a football manager are you if you can't handle players. Tuchel and Lukaku at Chelsea, aubameyang at arsenal, these guy are soft, while Ancelotti made Kroos and Marcelo almost his assistant coaches and asking for their opinions on how to make subs during the CL games, these modern E- football mangers need to learn a few things from Ancelotti.

Tactics is a funny story in sports. Whenever something like this happens, you end up noticing that the "old school" strategies will come back even if it does "die out", because later on there will be more "new blood" who've come up with it as their counter to systematic "E-football managers". Remember that way back in the day (like with the original Preston North End Invincibles and in the 60s-70s) teams played very aggressively. (PNE played with 8 forwards, scoring 74 goals and only conceeding 15 back in 1889). Then things will continue to cycle back and forth, as people always adapt to be the next big thing. The next Guardiola/Klopp will most likely be someone like SAF or Ancelotti.

Madrid played with intelligence on the field with players like Benzema, Modric, Kroos, Alaba often changing systems during play. Contrast this with the Pep system or the Klopp system where the team played according to the coach. Players like Valverde played all across the front line and Modric and Kroos often became right and left backs. Madrid actually played completely different in the last 15 to what they played in the top 75. Even their new recruits Camavinga and Tchoumeni hardly hold traditional positions during play.

Real Madrid’s Galacticos era is already behind them and it seems that they’ve already learned that over bloating your squad with superstars is only going to be detrimental to the team. However looking at this year’s transfer window (probably one of the craziest ) it seems that all over the World, teams are refusing to even learn from this. With Premier League leading the charge in breaking the transfer market, Barcelona’s player registration debacle, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 ever increasingly monopolize by Bayern and PSG it seems that already established Real Madrid as true football royalty as they have learned from their past mistakes then try to evolve and learn from that.

Just look at Gabriel Jesus, he is lighting the Premier League on fire at the moment as he is being given the freedom to showcase his talent under Arteta which he could not do under Pep.

Up to a certain point tactics are important, but the players have to do their jobs on the field. I think that you implement a system for defending as a unit and set up play structure for attack but you have to let the players have some freedom. If not you can hold players back. Look at Lukaku. Couldn’t do anything at Chelsea, then look at him on other teams, he scores a goal every other game. The system held him back. A world class player being held back by tactics and the system.

The ones who didn't work out for Guardiola for example were Ibrahimovic or Mandzukic, but that was due their eccentric personalities and massive egos. On the other hand, players like Messi, Xavi, Pedro, Iniesta, Dani Alves, Lahm, Boateng, De Bruyne, Cancelo, Walker, Fernandinho, Rodri, Sterling (between 2017 and 2019), Bernardo Silva reached their peak under him.

Great explanation and analysis as always from Tifo. Ancelotti is a genius when it comes to bringing out the best out of his players. I might add as well, that Madrid has had a long period of building since Perez came in the 2000s, that made them realize that signing big names at one transfer windows might not always work for best for the team. In 2009 they signed all the big names that were available, yet when the season closed, no trophies were added. Not until 2012 when there's balance in the squad they won their first trophy under Mourinho, and then La Liga, and the decima with Ancelotti a couple of years later, then the rest of the decade is history and achievements for them, at least in UCL. Also, I see a structure at Madrid, which I see many clubs lack nowadays, senior players and management play a bigger role in the nurturing of culture in the club, something that is missing in many other clubs. Last but not least, is how Madrid have that mentality of not giving up. Real Madrid have been accustomed to being doubted, questioned, and sometime misjudged by other teams, even their own fans, that makes the player and management even more motivated to prove that they need to win for the badge of Real. But that's what makes this club so special and dearly to myself, is that every single season, the whole world is doubting us, and at the end, Madrid always prevails.

Gotta say great analysis! But although this video does point out correctly that Real Madrid are using/relying on their superstars collective performances to win matches in the CL, I do think that it missed out on pointing that their opponents do have very very talented galacticos themselves as well. We can't say that Real Madrid have more Galacticos than PSG, Man City and Liverpool that's why they won. I think the video just missed out on the point that the over reliance on the coach to decide every single detail of the tactics during the game and also relying solely on a single philosophy and then sticking to it till the end can cost you the CL. While on the other hand coaches like Ancelotti and also Zidane during his threepeat years were they stick to a very open basic structure were even the players themselves have the freedom to make or suggest changes on the fly can win you one. We've seen this in action with the KCM midfield a lot of times back then and just this recent CL win. I'd argue that, it's actually Real Madrid through the years are the most tactical team out there simply because they hadn't relied and stick to a single doctrine during their UCL winning years.

Play 100 times, and the system will win 70. But that 30 is where Madrid operate.

The consensus that elite sides need a system hasn’t been in question since Madrid’s 2022 UCL win. It’s been in question -or at least, _should_ have been- since 2016. Madrid won their 10th European Championship in 2014. Just two years later they won it again and would win it again the following two years. Zidane, much like Carlo, was said to have no system, that he relied on luck and individual brilliance. You don’t win a UCL with just luck, you don’t win two in a row with just brilliance, and you certainly don’t win three in a row with just a combination of the two.

@y1521t21b5 Жыл бұрын
On a tactics scale from _Laissez-faire_ to _prescriptive,_ _Ancelotti_ is clearly toward the former extreme. His tethering to prescription has decreased as the average quality of player at his disposal has increased. His exceptional man management skills are the perfect complement to his minimally prescriptive approach as he essentially primes players to typically expend lower levels of energy than most opposition teams whilst bringing their technical gifts into full effect for limited, often efficacious spells. _Paris, 2022-05-28_ will always be the _Courtois_ shutout. He needed to perform at an historical level on the night. At some point in proceedings, he had mentally defeated our attackers. A tangential observation on the 3 best tacticians in the game, _Klopp, Guardiola and Conte:_ _Guardiola's_ ball domination cannot be accomplished without top-drawer technicians in just about every position. _Klopp_ and _Conte,_ on the other hand don't need technically brilliant players to attain their top-tier tactical efficacy. What _Klopp_ needs more than any other quality is insane physical fitness. So much so that injury setbacks might metastasize into crises, as is currently the case.

Also, i think both the "basic structure" and the "complex tactics" can coexist. Look at Erik ten Hag's Ajax in 2019. They played beautiful football but they only progressed through the group stages by small bursts of brilliance. EtH allowed de Jong to be free in the midfield, de Ligt be more than *just* a CB, mazraoui was an hybrid between a RWB and a midfielder, Ziyech sometimes was was wide open and sometimes he was more of a CAM, Tadić was supposed to be a false 9 but scored many goals on top of making many assists. Yet I think it's fair to say that EtH DOES have a system and a philosophy. And I'm seeing the same pattern with Naggelsmann' Bayern. In the end, I think that ancelotti and other coaches realized that the only way players will be able to win and play well is if they are happy and they'll be happy when they're able to express themselves on that pitch.

Amazing analysis as always guys. Just one thing I want to highlight about the video. I just want to clarify the part when you say that "Madrid lacked a functional pressing system". This is half-truth. By this comment I am not pretending to say you are wrong. I would not do such thing. Having said that, what happened at the start of last season was that Madrid certainly applied a high-pressing approach but, at the same time they lost key points against teams such as: Levante, Espanyol, Villarreal and Sheriff Tiraspol because Ancelotti used the trio CMK (Casemiro-Modric-Kroos) and the team was broken when facing running backwards in counter-attack scenarios. That is when Ancelotti change the teams' focus. A 4-4-2 with Valverde first (Eventually a 4-3-3), then adding Camavinga an Rodrygo to galvanize the second parts. So to conclude, it was a pragmatical decision noticed by the physical downgrade of the team in the midfield sorted out by playing mainly in a middle/low block to attract the pressure; and either adding a fourth midfielder (Valverde), or bringing on Camavinga and Rodrygo. The rest was history.

But the Real Madrid approach can also suffer of this downsides, as example, they couldn't win againts Sheriff Tiraspol when they lack of 'magic' or lose to system-based teams when they lack of any of their 'stars', and by a lot of goals like that defeat againts Xavi's Barca.

This is what Jose called football Heritage for which people made fun of him. He was right all along. These Games of football are not always fair but rather require skill set to get Job done in 90 minutes.

Which means he can always find a way to fill a hole, given the players to do so.

That piece of magic has never not been a major factor in deciding who wins what. the George Best one man show against Benfica where he "ripped up the script," Koeman's FK to win the EC for Barca, the insane Paolo Di Canio volleys, Thierry Henry's turn-and-blast against Man United, Ronaldinho's brilliance that destroyed Real Madrid multiple times (and got a standing O), Messi's genius for Pep to decide tight Barca games, the list goes on and on and on. Sometimes these moments win games, sometimes they win competitions, sometimes they don't do anything except show individual brilliance. The Galacticos model was always about putting as many players who could have these moments on the pitch as possible and let them do their thing. While the first attempt didn't really succeed, this phase 2 version certainly has. The thing is, just like you can't perfectly plan out a match, there are times when that moment of magic just doesn't come off. So no, Madrid weren't "lucky." They just highlighted skills over tactics and had the right players in the right places to break down overly organised teams.

Pep style for a league season and an Ancelotti style over a knockout tournament

this giving players "freedom" only works if you have a squad filled with elite talent and technically gifted players. it also isn't sustainable for a league campaign. as injuries and squad rotation come into play the fringe players might not be able to recreate the levels of starters. i think a system oriented approach is better cus it not only improves players, but gives you a platform to recruit players(ones that suit said system)E.g liverpool. not every club's philosophy can be to sign the best players in the world every season. i think this madrids campaign had more to do with luck than the ineffectiveness of adopting a system oriented approach to tactics.

It's sustainable in the league..Real Madrid won La Liga last season. Players like Vinicius areso good they can do magic everyday
