    Utilizing wingers helps stretch the opposition and create space for central attackers.

    High pressing can disrupt opponent flow and regain possession quickly.

    Conflicting Directions

    Midfield Overlap Issues

    Potential for confusion in midfield roles when both DMC players overlap too much.

    Tactical Suggestions

    Adjust Defensive Line

    Consider lowering the defensive line to reduce susceptibility to fast counters.

    Role Clarification

    Ensure clear roles for midfielders to avoid overlapping responsibilities.

    Utilize Advanced Playmaker Effectively
