    Narrow Midfield

    Limited width in midfield may lead to difficulties when breaking down compact defenses.

    Consider setting one wing-back to 'Support' to ensure defensive balance during transitions.

    Cautious with Defensive Line

    Consider lowering the defensive line slightly to minimize vulnerability to fast breaks.

    Utilize Tactical Flexibility
