  • Counter-attacking

  • Route One

  • Tiki-taka

  • Total Football

Answer

Total Football is a footballing philosophy developed in the 1970s by Dutch coach Rinus Michels. It is based on the idea of total teamwork, with players expected to be able to play in any position on the pitch. This allows teams to attack and defend as a unit, and to quickly transition from one phase of play to another.
