The legendary ex-defender of "Dynamo" Kyiv Oleg Kuznetsov - about the "bus" tactics successfully used by some national teams at the 2022 World Cup.
Oleg Kuznetsov— The World Cup showed that not only the favorites can win. Of course, the loudest sensation was created by the Moroccans. They achieved the result thanks to a well-built defense. And it is necessary to carry out quick attacks, during which players should play one or two touches, and not hold the ball for a long time. All teams should be ready for such matches, because the tactics of "buses" will not disappear anywhere. The fact that the European giants did not take it seriously as a competitor also helped the Moroccan national team. And they paid for it. Yes, the "bus" tactics are not liked by the fans. But for the team, it is sometimes the best decision.
This tactic was invented by Jose Mourinho, thanks to which he won the Champions League. Yes, he was criticized, but Mourinho laughed off his critics with a strong argument - victory. And continued to put "buses". After that, fewer teams played such overtly defensive football, because it was supposedly a shame to play like that. But after the performance of the Moroccan national team, the football world will return to the "bus" again, Kuznetsov said.
