Tactical Analysis: The Theory of Fluid Football Explained and Illustrated
What is Fluid Football
Fluidity or fluid flowing football is another term in describing a system where players have the freedom to move as they wish while putting in mind the tactical system of their coach.
In modern football, a lot of managers such as Sam Allardyce Jose Mourinho just to name a few prefer positional discipline so as to create a rigid system.
However, some other coaches like Marcelo Bielsa, Pep Guardiola and the late Johan Cruyff have taken and or took the risk to their hands by giving players the freedom to interchange positions in order to create a fluid, flowing attack.
Advantage of Playing Fluid Football
The advantage of fluid football is that, it makes a team less predictable and therefore difficult to defend against.
Player position or players swapping positions creates confusion in the oppositions defence and drags them out of position thereby ensuring the ball can move from back to front as there usually should be one or more free players upfront.
