Former West Ham manager David Moyes on the tactical trends he has seen at Euro 2024 during his work as a Uefa technical observer in Germany.
Football is moving on so quickly at the moment that you can be left behind if you are not on the ground - on the grass or at games - to feel what is happening.
During the 1998 World Cup, when I had just started out as a manager with Preston, I went to France to try and learn as much as I could from the teams at the tournament. That was when I was in my development phase as a coach or manager, when I was trying to watch as much football and learn as much as I possibly could.I am very fortunate because of the work I do for Uefa to get to speak to so many other people in the game to hear how they see things.
Those are the places where people need to see what changes are coming, so they can try to implement it into their ideas as well. Another thing we have noticed is that there are not so many runs being made in behind defences by number nines, but other players are making more - the number 10s are doing it more, and the wide attacking players.
They can go on YouTube and watch closely the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi or any of the top players in the world, and how they do things, whenever they want to.
