    Conflicting Directions

    A heavily attacking setup could leave the defense vulnerable to counter-attacks.

    The high defensive line may lead to vulnerabilities against pacey counter-attacks.

    Consider Defensive Duties for Full-Backs

    Switching the full-back's duty to defend could provide additional stability in counter-attacking situations.

    Increase Team Cohesion

    Fostering better understanding among players in the midfield trio could enhance overall control.
