High Defensive Line vs. Counter-Attack Vulnerabilities
A high defensive line could leave gaps that fast opponents might exploit during counter-attacks.
Pressing vs. Depth Maintenance
Pressing might not always align well with maintaining depth, especially against teams that can bypass initial pressure.
Wingers vs. Centrality of Play
While wide play is emphasized, the central midfielders may struggle if they don’t connect effectively with the wing play.

With a flexible fluidity, certain player roles may become rigid in their responsibilities, limiting creative movements.
