3. A revolution took place
in Holland in the 70’s
TOTAL FOOTBALL

4. Before Total Football
Each player had a specific position & a specific role
Defenders take ball
away & pass it to
midfielders
Midfielders pass it
around & until they find a
forward open
Forwards go 1-on-1 &
try to score

5. Rinus Michels changed all of that
Total Football allowed for each player who steps out of position
to be replaced by a team mate to fill the vacated hole
The defenders went forward, the forwards came back. We played football. He even used the goalkeeper, Jan
Jongbloed, as a libero, playing outside the area."Rijsbergen
