Ainda a magia laranja...

«Why is the Orange Army so enormous and why do the Dutch play in that flowing, expressive and beautifully co-ordinated style? For the same reasons, really. This particular Dutch team, more so than the last few incarnations, is rooted in the style of the original Dutch invention, Total Football. {...} It involves everyone moving constantly, supporting the entire team in a collective, attacking-and-defending effort. A player who moves out of position is automatically replaced by another from his team, whether it's a striker stepping in to defend or vice-versa. It's ceaseless and fluid and confounds the opposing team. A defender assigned to mark a striker is suddenly marking defender who has gone on the attack. For the team playing Total Football, unity and intuitive collective understanding is everything. The potential for Total Football is obvious - it bedazzles the crowd and baffles the opposition. But it depends entirely on a certain mentality. The players have to be deeply skilled to switch positions easily, or be endlessly drilled in multi-tasking.»
