The influence that Total Football has on the modern game is larger than any style of play. This style of play is linked with Ajax and the Dutch National teams of the 1970s and are generally credited for creating this system. But it had its antecedents in various other teams such as the Matthias Sindelar’s Austrian “Wunderteam” of the 1930’s and the Hungary national team or The Mighty Magyars of the 1950s led by Ferenc Puskas. 

The tactic of switching positions is called Total Football. Total Football has two concepts - space utilisation and fluidity of positions. Space and time are the most important things in football. You don’t give any team or player the time to think and space to implement. Therefore the teams who follow Total Football follow a high pressure system with a very high defensive line. 

 Total Football is all about movements. Total Football requires intelligent players who are comfortable on the ball and comfortable playing in every position. It is a pure mind game!
