    Vulnerability on Flanks

    If full backs push forward too much, space may be left for wingers to exploit.

    Tactical Suggestions

    Adjust Defensive Line

    Consider dropping the defensive line to prevent vulnerability to counters.

    Rotation Among Midfielders

    Encourage midfielders to rotate positions for unpredictability.

    Utilize Width Better

    Encourage FB to overlap with IW to stretch defenses and create space.
