The 1990s

This decade saw a significant shift in the way teams (or rather: the managers) approached the game.
Experimenting with new and somewhat innovative tactics to gain an edge over their opponents.
Several key developments emerged during this period, shaping the modern game as we know it today.

One of the most "modern" advancements in tactical thinking during the 1990s was the pressing and high-intensity defending.

Teams began to prioritize regaining possession quickly after losing the ball, employing aggressive pressing techniques to disrupt their opponents' build-up play.
This style of play, often associated with the likes Marcelo Bielsa, Jurgen Klopp and more mordern managers, revolutionized defensive strategies and laid the foundation for modern pressing systems.
Personally I would say that the tiki-taka football was also gaining populaity in the 90's. One of the most notable in my opinion is (or was) Manchester United. They did tiki-taka before it was a thing.

The formation

The 1990s also witnessed the popularization of the 4-4-2 formation, which became the dominant tactical setup for many teams across Europe. This formation, characterized by its balance between defensive solidity and attacking prowess, provided managers with a versatile framework to adapt to different match situations.
One slightly more attacking midfielder, 2 attacking "wings" and the power house in the middle of the park. That usually allowed for quickly going from defense to attack, or the other way around.

Advancements in sports science and technology also played a significant role in the tactical innovation during the 1990s.
Increased access to performance data and video analysis allowed coaches to gain deeper insights into their team's strengths and weaknesses, leading to more informed tactical decision-making. Additionally, improvements in player fitness and conditioning enabled teams to execute high-tempo pressing and fast-paced attacking football with greater efficiency.

In conclusion

the 1990s represented a period of significant progress in the tactical aspect of football. From the rise of pressing and high-intensity defending to the popularization of the 4-4-2 formation and the emergence of tactical innovators, this decade laid the groundwork for the modern game. The evolution of tactics during the 1990s not only transformed the way football was played but also influenced the strategic thinking of coaches and managers for years to come.
