Tactical Periodisation is a football training methodology. Its most famous exponent is Jose Mourinho, who won the Champions League with Porto in 2004 using the concept. It’s also shaped the ideas of - among others - Andre Villas-Boas, Nuno Espirito Santo, Paulo Fonseca, and Brendan Rodgers. But what is tactical periodisation, and why is it so successful?

A crowd sourced FM save for charity would be amazing, I think. Tifo Town for the Champions League? Could be done.
Best assume that one of the midfield two will be Ibrahim Sangare
Top quality team but you'll never hear anyone say it because they don't compete in one of the top five leagues
Sven Botman, Ibrahima Sangare🥵

Interesting. I always thought this is how every team prepared for games. It would be Interesting to see what other models are out there.
Also what happens with mid week games. I know in the NFL what they sometimes do is that if they are playing a certain team on a short week they can say to players that they are going to essentially play the same gameplan as they did to a team they played in Game Week 3 so it instantly gives them a good idea of what's expected of them and what players to attack in the game. I presume something like this would happen in professional football as well
Pretty sure every big team uses this methodology to some extent
@@qwerty3644 big teams who insist on a specific style of play dont use this. They'd rather use their style in all 4 match situations
@@timeisontheessence5407 and how do you think they will do tiki taka in defensive organisation?
@@faustoflores3334 Modern coaches form of defensive organisation by using a high line and pressing to retrieve back the ball. Pressing is a form of defensive without the ball for these coaches
As a portuguese national, proud to see credit to professor Vítor. A true genius.
Obrigado
Might explain why the Portuguese national squad looks so strong now. They've already won two international trophies.
@@Iron-Bridge It has more to do with the deep links between academia and football in Portugal of which TP is a result, but also other things such as positional fluidity, attribute analysis etc...
It's so weird going from the Tifo Podcast where Joe chats as much glorious waffle as possible to their videos where he makes a concerted effort to he as serious as possible
The duality of man
Serious Joe reigns supreme
Probably because the videos are scripted and podcast is more free form.

@@QWRTYPSDFGHJKLZXCVBNM please..dont call us arrogant cause what we both are saying is true
I'm glad you quoted the original interview and not the media agenda version -a special one!
@@jamiesimms7084 i think there is an agenda against every manager..but it seems like media deliberately hates mourinho way too much
@@yateendradwivedi3905 I agree. I think that's how they make their money. First they form a basic idea about a person's characteristics weather good or bad, then they exaggerate it way beyond reality, after this they try to form people's attitudes by matching *specifically selected* stories and quotes to current situations the manager was involved in, then after it is formed and well established they feed this attitude by adapting all future actions of the manager to this narrative they have constructed. There will be some truths, some falsehoods and plenty of exaggeration but it makes a compelling story which people read into as if it were a novel. This is designed to build feelings, interest and familiarity in people so that they keep on wanting to buy more. There is not much difference between the "news" and a soap opera or televised drama series.
I feel like I've learned Tactical Periodisation indirectly through years of playing Football Manager!!
Has the W-M Formation returned? Please do a video on Man City and Cancelo tactics, everytime Cancelo goes into midfield next to Rodri, City's attack set-up resembles the classic W-M Formation...has Pep perfected it? Has history gone full circle? Only Tifo can let us know! Good video by the way!
I see you. Great observation.
Yea lol and klopps 2-3-5 with fullbacks pushed up is basically the same as the 2-3-5 used in the 1950-70s
You might wanna visit a channel called Football Made Simple, it has lots of videos explaining tactics including the Cancelo one
Great analysis, man. If you have insta/facebook I will follow. Definitely see the point in the W-M formation being used by Pep since he have probably the most attacking team in Europe beside PSG. Also, 4-4-2 is making it's return too, after years of being overlooked.
@@andrewhodyss9092Is that not called a método? It was more ‘30s-‘50s.
The best video on tactical periodisation i’ve seen so far!
Thats why ozil was so successful under mourinho
yup
can you elaborate ?
Yeah cos he simply knew what to do per time
I also think Mourinho might be the best manager in history when it comes to the art of controlling a game by letting possession to the other team. When his players are all following that direction that tactic is phenomenal. That's how he outclassed city last November and beat them 2-0 . City had over 70 pr 100 of possession but even pep admitted recently that tottenham were the best team in that game. The only problem is that if 1 or 2 players are not good enough for that system the whole concept collapses ( like in the europa league)
@@brandonayong5823 it might be an effective tactic but its dead boring for the players and especially for the fans which is why as soon as results dont come, criticism comes heavy. Everyones hot their pitchforks ready to get rid of dead football.
Don't see any "I pray your week is full of success" kind of posts, so I'll just say g'devening.

Quality of the tifo vids have gone up massively recently
This is great. I enjoyed the effort and presentation. With all the effort you guys put in. Thanks!
this is a perfect piece of football knowledge for my tranmere rovers team in football manager.
i would love to see how this differs from ways other teams train such as man city or Liverpool. more of this please
Loved the video. I just wish you guys talked about the downsides as well. I love a good balanced video for me to understand the good and bad.
Brilliant. These are the types of videos I am always looking for. How to improve footballing brain.
This was super interesting. One question, what are clubs doing if they’re not incorporating their style of play/principles into every training session? Like what’s the other way to train cos tactical periodisation seems to just be common sense.
Pep uses one called Microciclo enstructurado
The other clubs are just perfecting and refining their specific style of play for all 4 of the match situations. E.g. Pep uses his tiki taka and press in all phases of match situations. Pep isnt willing to adapt or change his style regardless of who he faces
That last day of “specific training” catered to the opponent might not happen as often for a team like Peps
most coaches have integrated tactical periodization in their own training methodology, pep is the biggest name I can think of
@@deviousz9658 pep has his own
It works as long as the fixture schedule is regular. If there's lots of fixture congestion, you're going to have to prioritise certain competitions.
Great video again from Tifo. This was a very interesting and insightful video
Tifo Town's first signing after the takeover - Ibrahim Sangaré
explain?
Awesome vid. Can’t wait for moreeee
I had forgotten the word "Periodization". Recently, I was rattling my memory to recall the word and here I am. Thanks Tifo! Where can I learn in depth about this? Haven't all teams adopted this methodology?
Tifo always on point..love your work
This was, by some distance, my favorite Tifo video.
Sensible transfers video for Tifo Town FC next?
Okey, now please make part 2 based on UCL and UEL teams that play every 3 or 4 days. Maybe part 3 which focuses on this particular season which is filled with matches.
The production is amazing!
I like the video first then i watch it routine since UMaxit
When you recommend a video and tifo make it is a better feeling than winning the Treble.
What did I learn from this video? Joes Devine's got Playdough teeth
I see you Tifo, you teaching em son.👌🏿😉
A lot of people in the comments are confused as to why this is not "common sense" amongst modern coaches It's simply because modern coaches choose to make "Plan A better" in all 4 match situations the game. However this concept Is heavily reliant on the personnel to play the specific "style of play". It is why you see Pep continues to buy players of the highest IQ and most importantly "fitness and technical ability" to play that style and is not hesitant to sell players he feels are not executing it to the max. E.g Sane Poch to a certain point had the personnel to perfect his "high intensity style of play" however overtime the players legs were gone meaning Poch had to alter his style and became more tactical periodisa to suit his players. However Poch was not experienced in that system of tactical periodisa to the level of Jose because for Poch it was buying the players that could play in his system and not how to adapt the style to suit the players. This is how eventually Poch had spurs 14th, because he couldn't adapt to his players and the players couldn't adapt to him What makes Jose different is that his style of play is "versatile" (he said this on bien TV). What this means is he can: Play tiki taka, counter attack, park the bus, high press. The difference with Jose is that he first "analyses the type of players he has in his current crop" and then decides if the team is capable of playing all of the 4 or a select from the 4. After that analysis is done, he then implements the select on the 4 match situations. Jose also goes for players that have versatility in all different styles. E.g. Hogberg, Ozil, Kane, Eto, Maicon, Fabregas When you know this then you are able to identify who is a Jose signing. The media use the repetitive BS that Jose prefers tall and monster players which is simply a lie repeated 600 times Preferably, a Jose team is a team that can play any style of play regarding the opposition. His real Madrid team was the closest to that, however a team like Bayern Munich fits the exact mold of Jose's principles as bayern are so versatile
Wow no wonder tottenham is doing so well this season.
Great comment
You have said it all.
I disagree with the idea that Jose Mourinho's teams can press well. He cannot and that's why he has fallen in the modern game.
@@ciaranoconnell4783 Then you havent followed his career. His teams can high press if they have the personnel to do so
Absolutely magnificient
Great video, as always
You guys finally made a video on tactical periodisation. I was waiting for this.
How’d ya know about it? I’ve only heard about it today via this video.
@@misters6749 Haha I'm a geek, not a lot of people know about this but I've read a few articles on Mourinho and how he popularised this.
@@aryantandon4011 any articles you’d recommended to someone who is also eager to dive deeper into this topic?

Very nice video..Can you please make a video about the difference between structure and formations in football?
On Wednesday, that’s not what Craig David told me happens on Wednesday ... kidding , fantastic video, very enlightening.
Everyone chills on Sunday
Thank you Tifo❤️
I really like Craig's light-hearted animations
Can we get a breakdown on Arsene pls 🙏🏾😊
A good video would be how mourinho adapts to the opposition and how he exploits opposition weaknesses
really awesome explanation
Brilliant video 👍
I am a simple man! I see Tifo Football post a new video, i watch it.
To all the people who say: "Mourinho tactics are outdated", watch this video!!!
Bloody brilliant
Superb!
Unknowingly I was doing something very similar to this in FM
Amazing content
Make a video on other models and approaches as opposed to tactical periodisation, please!
Time to adjust my training schedules in FM then. :)
Simply WOW Tifo
Nice content
Your voice is brilliant😍😍
Please can you explain the conference league and how to qualify for each country etc? Thank you
Every FM players: Write that down, write that down!!!
He's still good, but the players he's been working with are not as willing to work hard, learn and develop as some of his past teams. Mourinho used to be able to hand pick the majority of his players, but after the Real Madrid job, he got less and less freedom to do it. For Mourinho tactics' to work, he needs players' full commitment and work ethics (eg Costinha, Terry, Lampard, Zanetti, CRonaldo). When you think about it he's been missing a lot of these type of players, and getting the opposite, first at Man utd (eg Pogba) and now with Tottenham (eg Dele, Ndombele, Bale). As someone said, Mourinho's approach can be hard for players to adjust and can be exhausting if they're not willing to work hard for the best interests of their team. I believe Mourinho's methods work the best with less known, under developed or unnaprieciated, hungry players who are willing to work hard and give it all to succeed (eg Materazzi, Milito, Jorge Costa, Maniche).
He should join a lesser side with a good budget so he can do things his own way
He should join an italian team where he can park bus in every match and fans will appreciate it.
@@lp3198 I mean sampordia but they're a bit too low for his level yk
Players today don't have that mentality and are more distracted. You can indeed blame them for that, but equally to blame is Mourinho for not being able to adapt to this reality when others (Ancelotti and Heynckes for example) have adapted despite being older.
Writing on the wall of the School of Footy gets me every time
Just to mention that the example of the weekly periodisation is bad simply because u have to focus one specific task as an example attacking or defending but u cant have them both in the same week as it was shown in the video. However the video is great!!!
Great Video…
I would love to see a Tifo Football Club game.
From the title I thought you meant periods of the match - intensive pressing in the first 10-15 minutes for example
How do clubs tackle playing a game in sunday, then wednesday. Travel to anywhere to play at saturday, to come back to play in tuesday.
i literally just learnt about periodisation in A-Level Sports science a week ago lol
Am One of ur subscribers and I beg A tactical side of tuchel and Chelsea plz😊😊😊
Interesting, I thought that Mr. Shin Tae-Yong the Indonesian National team Manager implement Tactical Periodisation on his team , so the Indonesian Player had to push to their limit. And it seems work as well.
Tifo I love your videos I've been watching them for years, but I think this video should be redone.
1:40 I only just noticed the classroom graffiti which reads; “Joe Devine got playdough teeth” Never change Tifo.
Could this model work if you have a game every Saturday then Tuesday or Wednesday like in the championship or if you have European games? Would it just mean longer training sessions and it all congested together into a few days training
Tifo should try to do a highest potential under 21 wonderkids team for tifo fc
good ebening!
Would have liked you guys to cover the flaws in the system as well. Good video nonetheless
Probably fixture congestion & players who don't know how to play in this system! Then again, that can be a flaw in every system so you'd probably want more in depth analysis
Any videos on Ronald Koeman and his new Barcelona tactics??
Mourinho, Andre Villas-Boas, Nuno Espirito Santo, Paulo Fonseca, Sir Bobby Robson, Vitor Frade all worked with Porto.
2:41 It was at this moment that I became 100% sure that Alex Stewart wrote this video
I m using this technique on my master bation schedule
I sink this video is a special one. Taa dum tssssssss
Tifo Town FC seems a very cool name for a club
This is why Tottenham did well the months before Man city came in form, there is no room for major adjustments in games, especially in a dynamic league like the PL when getting overwhelmed...
Do a video about who could be Sergio Agueros replacement.
José should train Lamela on how to pass in offensive transitions
FCPorto has done so much with few
won't lie this video is hard to follow fell asleep just like when I watch Mourinho's teams
Well we know where Mou got this, considering he was a primary assistant to Sir Bobby in the 90s where this started.
