Hey there! The ‘false 9’ position is a real thing in football tactics. It’s not just some made-up nonsense by pundits. It’s about a forward dropping back into the midfield, messing with the opposing defenders.
Sure, the term got a bit more attention in recent years, but it’s been around in football discussions and coaching for a while.
I get the skepticism, though. It might sound like pundit jargon on TV, especially the way they toss it around.
But real managers and players use and understand it. However, I agree with you - in today’s football, the false 9 doesn’t always fit every team’s style. It’s all about what works for each manager and their strategy. The game’s always changing, and tactics need to evolve with it.
