Actually, F9 is quite a bit older than Pep's Barca or even Cryuff's Ajax. Check this out! https://breakingthelines.com/tactical-analysis/the-evolution-of-the-false-9-role/
I think the Dutch inverted wingers are pretty neat.
The attacking role of fullbacks. Trent Alexander Arnold's role for Liverpool specifically. Adds an entirely new dimension to the attack.
