REVOLUTIONARY
The whole thread is acting like the reinvention of the wheel. Musing on what was obvious to coaches in the 70s and 80s like Brian Clough, Ferige, Wenger, Cruyff, Menotti, probably even earlier with Shankly, Busby, Paisly.
But every action positive has a negative, that’s why every attacking philosophy is countered and beaten down by pragmatism, Bilardo, Herrera, Simeone, Revie, Mourinho, then the cycle begins again with positivity beating negativity.
Control F my posts in this thread and you’ll find me stating in 2020 the exact same observation, because it’s obvious and a reoccurring pattern of the sport. I’ve been saying for years that the best at it was SAF, maintaining dominance, refreshing, and recreating.
