Steps in this tutorial:3 steps
The biting November wind whip around the imposing concrete structure of the San Siro, a cathedral of Italian football. Inside, the roar of 80,000 fervent fans created a palpable tension. It was the 1980s, and AC Milan, in a moment that would echo through tactical history, was experimenting. The standard attacking formation, a rigid triangle of forwards, was being subtly disrupted. A player, not quite a striker, not quite a midfielder, was dropping deep, pulling defenders out of position, creating space where none seemed to exist. This wasn't just a positional tweak; it was the nascent germination of a tactical revolution that would fundamentally alter how football is played and perceived, a journey from a fringe idea to a cornerstone of elite play.
