Possession Play
The focus on shorter passing and working the ball into the box enhances ball retention and gradually builds pressure on the opposition.
Attacking Depth
Using both Inside Forwards and an Advanced Forward creates multiple attacking threats, making it difficult for defenders to mark effectively.
Defensive Organization
The structured roles within the defensive line provide a solid foundation to counter various attacking formations.
High Press Consistency
Depending too much on the high press may expose the backline if not balanced with sufficient defensive cover.
Defensive Width
A higher defensive line may leave space on the flanks if full-backs and wide players do not track back effectively.
Midfield Pressure
Carrilero’s role may lead to gaps in the midfield if he is caught out of position during transitions.
Reassess Pressing Strategy
Consider reducing pressing intensity to maintain defensive shape and avoid being caught on the counter.
Balanced Full-Back Role
Consider adjusting the duty of Wing-Backs to support instead of solely attacking to provide better defensive cover.
