Conflicting Directions
Vulnerability to Counter-attacks

Overreliance on Wing-backs
Heavy use of wing-backs may expose flanks if caught out of position.
Spacing Issues in Central Areas
Dense midfield could lead to congestion and limit passing lanes.
Tactical Suggestions
Consider a More Balanced Defensive Line
Adjusting to a lower defensive line could mitigate counter-attack risks.
Integrate a Holding Midfielder
Adding a holding midfielder could improve defensive stability.
Optimize Winger Duties
Adjusting the role of wide players to provide more support could enhance midfield balance.
