Could someone explain to me exactly what is this dutch influence ppl refering too ? Like did we play a dutch system ala who? Did the dutch play a similar system ? Did we play ah old Real system instituted bt a dutch coach ? or was it really ah mexican system by a dutch coach adapted to ah past Tobogonian system, controlled by a Tobagonian captain trained by a Man U system, with ah lil piece of down under ?
What were the indicators of this system, that made it different from the French system , or Spanish system for eg..?
Ah know yuh bein facetious....but....I think it is a philosophy rather than a system with ball possession being emphasised. I don't remember a T&T team that continually kept or tried to keep possession and build the play as much as this team.
Jes my crumb a hops bread.
But Los, is there any philosopy in football that does not emphasize ball possession, unless is rank 2 touch yuh playing, then yuh does have to leave it dey...I agree though our possession improved big time, but I don't think that was any indication of any particular philosophy(e.g dutch), ah see Brazil buss 25 pass before scoring today....so ah jus thinking in trying to analyze whatever BeenE did, lehwe not make it bigger than what it is, I think he had we playing modern football, and not try to hit Sren John, and hope the ball bad bounce the opposing team defence, or solely depend on one individual to ride ah moment of brilliance...I think he simply brought a total team play, that everybody used....also the only dutch philosophy I really recall, came about whereby, the Dutch rotated positions as the play changed or developed, so that in some cases a defender may ending up overlapping and for a short while play as a forward, for eg...I think they called it "A clockwork Orange", ah coincidence of words with the movie..
I don't know of any modern day philsophies, other than what is modern football, whereby if you have fast guys , you give them space to run, and combined with someone who can recieve or head, yuh have train to make accurate crosses...i.e. you develop your team success and strengths, based on your individual strengths...as opposed to attempt to gain team successes, based on individual success alone...
I know it have many students of the game here, can somebody give an example of a particular nation philosophy today, or is every modern coach, exchanging info and applying whatever combination of philosophies are suitable to team DEVELOPment ? I was under the impression that modern football is the latter, and no set system or philsophy. Wha allyuh think
