"Mi avete acceso il fuoco nel cuore"
Mentre che l'uno spirto questo disse,

io venni men così com' io morisse.
E caddi come corpo morto cade.
(Inferno, Canto V)

RELATIONISM- A TACTICAL EVOLUTION
In the 60's 2 great minds came toghether at Ajax and created a style of play that would go on to dominate modern football. Yes, I'm talking about Rinus Michels and Johan Cryuff who brought about Total Football. Various additions were made by Sacchi, Lobanovskyi and other but the final perfection was made by Guardiola.
His Barcelona team with Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets etc conquered every trophy there was to win and inspired many modern generation coaches to the same style of play.
Modern iterations of Position play (the tactics used by Pep) are used by Arteta, De Zerbi, Sarri most famously. But recently coaches have developed counter-tactics to tackle this positional play from the coaches and only teams with the highest level of quality reach the top.
Recently led by a small revolution in Brazil by Fluminese coach Diniz, a tactical approach used extensively by South American teams is slowly finding it's way back to fashion. People have labelled this approach as Relationism.
This is also the tactics used by Scaloni at the 2022 World Cup to win Argentina the world Cup.
I have read various articles and videos (which I will cite below) and here is my understanding of this different style of play
