The Evolution of Soccer Tactics

What it's about

Herrera's Inter locked the door with catenaccio. Michels and Cruyff tore up fixed positions with Total Football. Sacchi's Milan defended by moving forward. Guardiola turned space into a weapon, and Klopp made winning the ball back the best playmaker of all.
