Hanging tip
In football , a hanging tip is the name given to players who are strikers by designation , but cannot actually be fully assigned to attacking or midfield because they take on tasks from both positions.
description
While an attacking midfielder mainly opens up goal opportunities and a typical striker should exploit them, a hanging tip oscillates between attack and midfield depending on the course of the game. Often players fall back in this position when the opposing defense is too massive to then reinforce the attack at the right moment. Former French soccer player and former UEFA president , Michel Platini , once described Roberto Baggio , a typical player in this position, as a type of “9.5”, a mixture of the 10 reserved for playmakers and the 9 that typically carry strikers on their backs.
Hanging tips are usually technically very strong players with a great overview. They are particularly common in 4-4-2 formations, where they are supposed to support a second, often larger and physically stronger striker, but also the back four-backs or the four-midfield diamond. However, in the 4-2-3-1 system, the central offensive midfielder often performs similar tasks, especially if he is not an actual playmaker but a versatile offensive player. Also in 4-3-3 there can be players in the back three who switch in a similar way between offensive and defensive midfield.
Examples
Austrian player Matthias Sindelar may have been the first false nine in the 1930s. After the war, the Hungarian Nándor Hidegkuti , who played in the legendary Hungarian golden team , was one of the most famous representatives of this role.
The AS Roma under Luciano Spalletti played with a "4-6-0 lineup" and Francesco Totti filled out this role. Even the Arsenal under Arsene Wenger used this game idea and put Robin van Persie in this role.
During the European Championships in 2012 , coach Vicente del Bosque , who optionally played with a "4-6-0 lineup", set Cesc Fàbregas as a false nine. FC Barcelona coaches Pep Guardiola and Tito Vilanova also used Lionel Messi as the wrong nine.
