the classic total football thinking is based on the defense which must narrow the opponents space by defending as far as possible from their own goal. and further, when in ball-possesion, it is all about creating as much space as possible. you can accomplish that by placing 2 attacking wingers far on the outside. (sorry for the bad english)
Total football is very movement based. A lot of worth is laid on the skill and dribbling of the players, yet the most important element is intelligence. Total football is a very effective way of being unstoppable without any star players in the team and if played correctly shows the triumph of proficiency over showboating.
Total football is when every player in a team is trained to play in any position whether it be attacker, defender or midfielder. It was pioneered by the Dutch and if it's used correctly it is extremely effective.

Well you kinda miss the important thing here, Germany won actually won that match 2:1 and became world champion. The Dutch never accomplished that, in my oppinion that is all there is to say about total football.
i dont think that this is a great video for showing total football. All i see is slow passing until cruyff decided to run at them. I honestly think Cruyff is the best player of all time coz he could play across the pitch + control the game. Pele was just an outstanding goalscorer and maradona hardly passes and is all skill. Its debatable really. I always prefer teamwork over individual.
@asdfghjkl137 it's not just that, you gotta see. Cruijff's final run is "the least" important thing of what he actually does; he drops deep, leaving the defenders without a reference up front, helps his teammates in the start (you'll see a Dutch defender going up to "replace" him, that is, fooling the German defence), and frees the other attackers.
Total football is not Cruyff's run: in fact, it is the rest of things he does.
Not A Good Choice To Demonstrate Total Football because The Netherlands Eventually Lost The Match

passing, players changing position... that's Totaalvoetbal !
To do that on the final game of a World Cup, against an incredible team like Germany, in Germany ?? That tastes even sweeter ...
