Phase Description
Attacking Play
Focus on maintaining possession and patient build-up, utilizing the width offered by the wing-backs and inside forwards.
Defensive Transition
Quickly regroup with a high press to regain possession and disrupt opponent's build-up.
Main Focus
Creating space for the mezzalas and exploiting the improvements in attacking width.
Key Strengths
Possession Retention
The control possession style allows the team to dictate play and minimize opponent threats.
Variety in Attack
The overlapping runs from the wing-backs and inside forwards create multiple attacking avenues.
Defensive Organization
The double pivot of DM and BPD allows for effective ball recovery.
Conflicting Directions
High Press with Lower Defensive Line
While a high press is employed, a lower defensive line can create vulnerabilities when the ball is lost.
Balance Between Width and Central Play
Heavy focus on wide play may limit central penetration resulting in reduced effectiveness in breaking down compact defenses.
Distributing to Full-Backs vs High Press
Encouraging distribution to full-backs while pressing high can lead to exposing central areas.
Tactical Suggestions
Adjust Defensive Line
Consider raising the defensive line to support the high pressing strategy.
Flexibility in Mezzala Roles
Experiment with one mezzala dropping deeper to support defense while transitioning.
Utilize More Ball Retention
Encouraging a higher tempo may be prudent to exploit counter-attacking opportunities further.
