Together, the aforementioned variables add a multi-layer level of complexity to the game, and it is impossible to observe different components in isolation without changing the game’s identity. Each team has a strategy of how they will influence the outcome of the game and establish a set of pre-determined behaviors based on different situations, attempting to bring “predictability to the unpredictable”. Two teams of eleven players, one ball, each team defending a goal and trying to score on the other, all this happening while a referee tries to enforce the rules of the game. The game of football is naturally chaotic. The conventional approach of separating the game’s dimensions doesn’t follow the logical order of the game and does not provide the optimal learning and training methodology for players (Oliveira R., 2014). Tactical Periodization challenges the reductionist thinking of football, where different dimensions of the game (physical, technical, tactical, psychological) are trained separately. The Morphocycle is the weekly learning plan for the way the team wants to play. ![]() This weekly periodization of tactical principles is called the “Morphocycle”. Moreover, the word “periodization” is not used in its traditional sense, in relation to periodizing the physical load of training, it refers to the periodization of the tactical principles trained throughout the week. In all these aspects considered, the game of Football is viewed in a holistic perspective, maintaining its complex identity.įootball’s dimensions viewed through Tactical Periodization. Tactical Periodization is a training methodology that derives from the study of different sciences and inter-disciplines that apply to football, including neuroscience, theory of complexity, chaos theory, systems theory, physiology, psychology, fractal geometry, and sociology. While Mourinho is the most well-known proponent of Tactical Periodization, this training methodology has also been adopted successfully, by André Villas-Boas, Brendan Rogers, Nuno Espírito Santo, Marco Silva, Carlos Carvalhal, Vitor Pereira, and Leonardo Jardim, to name a few (Bordonau & Villanueva, 2018) But what is Tactical Periodization? He has since moved on and coached at elite clubs in England, Italy and Spain, achieving significant domestic and European success. From 2002 to 2004, as head coach of FC Porto, he guided the team to two Portuguese league titles, a Europa League title and a Champions League title. Jose Mourinho was an early advocate for this coaching methodology, and one of the first coaches to prove this methodology’s success. Since its creation, it has become one of the most widely adopted and implemented training methodologies worldwide. Tactical Periodization is a football training methodology developed around 35 years ago by Vítor Frade, a sports science professor from Porto University in Portugal.
