Hi Hsn
In most cases, they are the same. If you want to do something difficult, you can come up with a strategy or you could come up with some tactics. Strategy is much more common outside of football and sport. In business, tactics feels less formal than strategy.
I think that strategy is slightly broader than tactics. So a coach might use pressing as a strategy in a general sense, but use specific on the pitch tactics to do this. I use strategy in my work plans to say how I want to achieve something and a tactic is what I am going to do. However, you will find tactics and strategy used in the same way in most articles about football.
I hope that clears things up a bit - sorry I can't give you a nice clear definition of both.
Thanks

very useful words: 'strategy' and 'tactic' are the words that I mean in a previous comment (about jobs in football), I used methods and plans. please, what's the difference between (formation) and (training) in general use, because 'formation' in french, is the translation of 'training' in english.

In general use, 'formation' is a false friend in French because as you say when it is translated directly it means 'training' but it means something different. Formation is connected to how something is created e.g. ideas or the planets; or can also be used to explain how a group of things or people are arranged like in football or that jet planes fly or soldiers march 'in formation'.
At work or college you do training to improve your skills, just like a footballer does training when he's not playing.

a big thanks Rich, I get. You know, it was not fair for my generation: we began learning English in fourth year of high school, so I learnt it for just 4 years before getting my baccalaureate! Just since few years, the government has changed the education strategy, and pupils begin learning English in elementary school, in third class (just like learning French in my generation), so they learn English 4 years in school and 7 years in high school. Thanks God that I was lucky, to have a first good teacher, who made me love his courses. yes, I'm lucky, comparing to the other graduated from my generation.
