Home > Total Football

In football (soccer), Total Football is a system where a player who moves out of his position is replaced by another from his team, thus retaining their intended organisational structure. In this fluid system no footballer is fixed in their intended outfield role; anyone can be successively an attacker, a midfielder and a defender. Total Football depends largely on the adaptability of each footballer within the team to succeed.

Total Football as a concept was originally invented and developed by Rinus Michels, who used it in his training for the Ajax Amsterdam squad and the Netherlands national team in the 1970s. It is however also used to describe the effective, dominating play of West German football in the 1970s.
