When you have an animal as a center back then you will win. We tried this system. After 6 months (& some extra strength weight trainings combined with stamina training) we went from 10th place to the 4th place after winning almost every game after the winter. But you have to replace the backs after 45 mins and the left & right midfielders probably, too. (really intensive for the players on the wings both backs & midfielders)

@tomiding6947 Год назад

@xdiq 10 месяцев назад

Its a very special formation, out of the ordinary

@bigrandomun9267 6 месяцев назад

Also you don’t need tall and physical defenders as the wide-centre backs. You could actually get away with playing defensive midfielders or fullbacks in those positions because their role is to help cover the wingbacks when they go forward so they will usually match up with the wingers if they stay up. You can get away with 5’9/5’10 players as long as they know when to press the winger if they are 1v1 and where to play the ball to in transition. Players like Eric Garcia and Ezri Konsa would suit this role more than they would a usual CB role because they have the skillset needed and their wingbacks/fullbacks usually make overlapping runs so they can utilise the space.

@mxsthxted 5 месяцев назад

Correct. Defensive fullbacks are perfect for this role. They are better in 1v1 situations but they have that technical edge to progress the ball in a 3 man backline.

@theportugueselegend Год назад

This is the future/present of football. 3 at the back, with the 3 5 2 or a 3 4 3 will be the standard in a few years. After the number 10, I think wingers can become obsolete in the next years, because width can be done with the wing backs and two inside midfielders, for example

@athosgomesfonseca Месяц назад

This has been the secret sauce of each of our five World Cup wins however, only our 1994 and 2002 squads played static wingers since our forwards were also static but the 1958, 1962 and 1970 played a quasi-Total Football with the forwards coming back to link play essentially creating a two-man overload out wide.

@Hafris33 Год назад

I remember when Pep was trying to do this in 17-18 season. I think that was the reason why they gone for Walker and Mendy as FB targets because they have a lot of energy to go up and down. Unfortunately Mendy went injured and Pep opted for the inverted fullback with Delph.

@blueskyalchemist623 11 месяцев назад

3-5-2 can be flexible in the way that it can be 5-3-2 when played defensively. Basically, if you are playing a counter-attacking playstyle, you have 5 defenders and 3 midfielders at disposal. The drawback is ofc, lacking offensive presence, but if you are playing against a stronger team, this formation works much better. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer used this tactics when he won against Paris Saint Germain in the first leg of UCL 2020-2021. However, he lost against the same opponent 0-2 on Old Trafford with a 4-4-2 formation, which was dominated by PSG' 4 midfielders (PSG played 3-4-2-1). It was even worse when Fred received a red card and sent out.

the new formations congest the middle because although 4-4-2 divides the pitch evenly. Areas in the middle are much more important due to goal threat for both attack and defense hence why modern systems have inverted full backs and usually only use 2 traditational wings. Also, If you pack the midifield, you force the oppostion to run into space from wings diagonally into the box which allows your defenders to catch up.

Completely agree. It makes for stodgy, structured, defensive football in general. Only width comes from 2 players who are expected to defend the FB positions and attack the W positions. At least 2 of the CMs have to shield the back 3. Son in particular struggled in the system. What a quality player he is! It was like watching a Formula 1 car being driven round a farm last year. The history of your new manager suggests a much more positive system in which Son will thrive.
