    Phase Description

    Attacking Play

    Focus on building play from the back, using wide players to stretch opposition and create space.

    Defensive Transition

    Quick recovery and pressing high to regain possession, particularly after losing the ball in the enemy half.

    Main Focus

    Control midfield to dictate tempo and create goal-scoring opportunities.

    Key Strengths

    Wide Play

    The use of wingers and wing-backs creates space and opportunities to cross.

    Midfield Control

    Possession is maintained through a well-structured midfield with good passing options.

    Defensive Stability

    Strong defense formed by a back four supported by a dedicated DM.

    Conflicting Directions

    High Press Risk

    High pressing could leave defense exposed if opponents bypass initial press.

    Counter-Press Vulnerability

    Counter-pressing too aggressively can lead to gaps in the midfield.

    Over-reliance on Width

    Heavy reliance on wide play can limit options when facing compact defenses.

    Tactical Suggestions

    Reduce Defensive Vulnerability

    Implement a more conservative pressing strategy to limit space behind defenders.

    Dynamic Midfield Movement

    Encourage CM (Ivanšek) to provide more forward runs to stretch defenses and link up with strikers.

    Adjust Team Width

    Adapt width based on the opponent's formation; reduce on compact setups to better exploit central spaces.
