Main Focus
Utilize direct attacking style with emphasis on wing play.
Wide Offensive Play
Utilization of wingers to stretch the opposition and create space.
Dynamic Midfield Control

Too High Defensive Line
Could be exposed to quick counter-attacks if not properly supported.
Lack of Depth in Defense
With a high defensive line, the team may struggle against long balls.
Vulnerability on Flanks
With wingers pushed high, full-backs could be left isolated.
