Football Tactics by Position: How Every Role on the Pitch Was Reinvented, from the Goalkeeper to the False Nine - The Evolution of Football Tactics, Volume 4 - Softcover
Book 4 of 5: The Evolution of Football Tactics
Synopsis
The number on the shirt is a fossil. It once described a job. Now it describes, at most, where a player starts.
In 1990 a full-back defended his flank and crossed. A goalkeeper stopped shots. A No. 10 waited between the lines for the ball, and a No. 9 waited in the box for the cross. Every one of those jobs has since been taken apart and rebuilt, and the shirt numbers stayed the same.
The fourth volume of The Evolution of Football Tactics
Volume 1 told the story of the ideas. Volume 2 told the story of the evidence. Volume 3 followed the decisions of the ninety minutes. This book turns to the players, and asks the same question of every role on the pitch: what did this player do thirty years ago, what does he do today, and which idea, which piece of evidence and which decision changed him?
- The last line: the goalkeeper who became the first playmaker, the centre-back who carries the ball, the full-back reinvented four times, and the wing-back that only exists with a back three
- The engine room: the No. 6 from destroyer to regista, the box-to-box and its successors, the death and return of the No. 10, and the ball-winner, a job invented by the counterpress
- The front line: the winger with the wrong foot, the false nine who does not score, the poacher who survived the data, and the return of the front two
- Jobs without a number: the set-piece player, the free man and the captain, the substitute as a role of its own, the utility player
- What comes next: how clubs now buy jobs rather than positions, and whether positions are ending at all
Every chapter closes with What to watch: how to recognise the modern version of the role from the stands or the sofa. Neuer against Algeria, Makélélé at Chelsea, Messi at the Bernabéu, Kanté's two titles, Stones walking into midfield: the cases are famous, the question is always the same.
No code. No formulas. No spreadsheets. For anyone who has ever wondered why the player wearing the number does not do what the number says.
