Abstract

The tactic has been based on a significant role in football over the years, presenting many changes with it. The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of the scheme 4-1-4-1, especially when used by the German National Team in certain matches during the Football World Cup in 2014. To achieve this proposal, a qualitative method was used and it was supported by an image analysis that describes how the 4-1-4-1 scheme was applied by the German Team during such matches. It was possible to notice some aspects of the tactical system 4-1-4-1 and its possibilities of tactical variations during the matches and with a few position changes, besides the offensive and defensive aspects that accompany this position and characterize the scheme as a balanced option, depending on the characteristics of the athletes, as well. It was possible to notice a relation between 4-1-4-1 and 4-3-3 and pointed out possibilities due to the similarity of the functions that the two ideas lead to the field. With all that has been presented, it is concluded that 4-1-4-1 is characterized by being a balanced way to post a match and was therefore important for the conquest of the German fourth championship. in 2014.
