Buckingham und Total Football

Gelegentlich wird Buckingham mit der Entwicklung des "Totalen Fussballs" in Verbindung gebracht. Dem gegenübersetze ich das von mir in den Artikel eingebrachte Cruijff-Zitat, sowie zwei Zitate aus dem Buch "Inverting the Pyramid: The History of Football Tactics" (Orion Books, London, 2008), von Jonathan Wilson:

• "Buckingham was a devotee of W-M, and it was with that formation - albeit a far more fluid version of it than would have been found in Britain at the time - that Ajax won the Dutch league title in 1960, playing an attacking style that brought them an average of 3.2 goals per game."

• "Buckingham spoke of how even in his day Ajax players were capable of what he called ‘habit football’: ‘They could find each other by instinct. They’d have a rhythm; go from the left side of the field to the right but make progress of 30 or 40 or 50 yards as well.’ The eventual flowering of Dutch football, first with Ajax and then with the national side, seems to have been less the result of any plan than the harnessing of a process that occurred naturally among a group of intelligent players"
