Men’s ODI WC: Total Football Approach, Australian Influence Behind Netherlands’ Thriving Team Culture
Richmond Cricket Club: "Total football" was a tactical term coined by Dutch coach Rinus Michels where the highly successful side captained by Johan Cruyff in the 1970s had players moving in and out while retaining the high-intensity and sorted working manner to achieve great success.
When the Netherlands skipper Scott Edwards mentioned the total football concept to his coach Shannon Young, from the Richmond Cricket Club, during the duo’s meeting in New Delhi at the time of the 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup, the duo had an extensive chat about this approach being adopted by the Dutch team.
“It’s a widely accepted cultural thing from my journey at Richmond and my interactions with him. We've talked a lot about people and not so much cricket, just leadership in general, and respecting individuals and an understanding that we all have individual differences, but we can contribute to a collective goal,” said Young in a chat with IANS from Melbourne.
