    Conflicting Directions

    Instructing players to counter press despite a higher level of attacking risk may leave gaps in defense.

    Midfield Overload Risk

    The lack of defensive duty in midfield roles could compromise defensive transitions.

    Pressing Vulnerabilities

    Aggressive pressing may expose the backline to counter-attacks if possession is lost.

    Tactical Suggestions

    Adjust Midfield Duties

    Consider using a Ball-Winning Midfielder in a defensive duty to enhance defensive stability.

    Review Defensive Line Height

    Adjusting the defensive line to a standard level could mitigate vulnerabilities against counter-attacks.

    Increase Width in Build-up

    Utilize wing-backs more aggressively to stretch the opponent’s defense.
