Playmakers are back in favor

Some elements of football tactics tend to reoccur later different time periods when the successful use of which seemed to have already forgotten. Previous artists comparing themselves with those who played their role at the moment. And for sure it fills pride when the changers, speakers in the same team, learning their ABC's game. 

Josep Guardiola and football the way Andrea Pirlo had just a few months. When still a young Italian attacking midfielder of Brescia has leased from Inter, the then coach Carlo Mazzone had seen it on not quite familiar position - for him deeply as a playmaker. He managed to impress the lease for half a year, but returned in inter, which belonged, and replenished the composition of Milan. At the same place in the Brescia artist, who came Andrea, according to him, always was – Josep Guardiola. Considering the past few years, it ironically mentioned that the teacher came into place. 

It is Guardiola in the majority felt (still counts?) example of deeply as a playmaker. However, at the end of the last century, new developments in tactics forced literally disappear footballers of this type, especially of top European teams. A preference was expressed for a clearer division between engaged in defensive midfielder and attacking functions centrhavom. This position is increasingly preferred to see such a "chained dog" who primarily destroy game opponent, and Claude Makelele in this light is instructive. 

Intensification of games in midfield together with more stringent requirements regarding the position of action led to a massive failure of "classic 10" that were so popular at the turn of the century. Pirlo was lucky enough to play with the three of them, namely, Roberto Baggio (Brescia), Manuel Rui Costa and Kaka. Perhaps the presence of their team and was one of the reasons that Andrea mentors have seen a much closer to your goal. 

At the same time, playing behind such masters of reference and understanding of the game, he took over they have this priceless experience, increase the quality of the ability to maintain the tempo, playing a precise pass to any distance, to dispose of the ball. And for those who love to play clean balls "dozen", it became a real find (it is worth noting that Pirlo and he reluctantly gets involved in the selection process, which was one of the reasons for his departure from Milan). Do not get lost it and the game, in which greater emphasis on attacking the flanks, the ability to find which is jinked a formidable weapon and Milan, and the Italian national team. 

It is the first and foremost quality are key players for the position that Pirlo makes him a role model. And the need for a player who is one with a vector of attack, start with the area of the field, which often predetermine the battle fight result, defined the Renaissance as deeply as a playmaker. At the same time, identical players do not happen, and other representatives of this position on the field is quite have a right to exist. 

Mistakenly will assume that this was the cause of this age and slowness of sex. He and Pirlo, explosive speed is not famous, but the presence of the beautiful vision of the field and the ability to give an accurate and fast pass at any distance, immediately dispose of the ball, allowing them to more than compensate for the lack of movement on the field (though the run across them, it is worth noting, is quite real). 

At the same time, there are between them and quite a significant difference. If Pirlo feels best in the company of two centrhavov that act primarily on the selection (Andrea in this component is pretty weak), Scholes, and is itself an obstacle for players to attack the opponent, usually in the middle of midfield next to one partner – Michael just men. 

This example is not unique in its kind, and in the same England a couple of years ago quite successfully in the same manner and Javier Mascherano and Xabi Alonso. It is often inconspicuous Basque was wisely guided Liverpool and the game team. His qualities more comparable with the qualities of Scholes, but Alonso still and more reliable protection. He does not sin podkatami, as does Paul, and is more modern central midfielder, preferring interceptions.
