Football is, possibly, the sport that has evolved the most in recent years.

A large number of changes is not only composed of factors external to the game. In fact, tactical variants have taken center stage in the last decade.

And since the ’90s you could already see incredible things …

Technicians such as Pep Guardiola have elevated football to the next level, and position themselves as one of the faces of the sport worldwide. They have innovated the football, besides opening a range of possibilities for emerging litters.

Of course, none of this would have been possible without the Sacchi, Menotti, Cruyff, Bielsa and stop counting.

Let’s analyze the key aspects that have revolutionized football in recent years:

Interiorization of laterals:

The sides are one of the most variable figures in football. In teams of the same league, for example, they can have completely opposite functions. Maybe only one thing in common: defend. And yet …

The Bayern Munich of Guardiola was a clear example of everything that can be achieved with the laterals at present. When attacking, they can be mixed flyers.

The mechanical orange strengthened the bands, now that alone is not enough.

Centrals with game

Defending alone is not enough. “A center that does not have the capacity to go out playing, is a center with little chance of playing.”

The defenders have become the main creators of the game. They should come out with a dominated ball, break lines and filter passes for a more direct game.

Central and lateral, well, the line of four has changed …

The steering wheel 10

That creative player who stands out (in most cases) for wearing the 10 on his back, and also for making you play with 10 when defending.

Modern football does not admit a player without defensive responsibilities. Simple.

Personally, I appreciate much more the work that always stressed Wayne Rooney at Manchester United: offensive pieces committed to full with the withdrawal.

Changes, changes and more changes. The collective increases, the individual will always be decisive.

What else will change in the game?
