Tactics 2Mufc/Gio
Francesco Toldo is in goal, a reliable and consistent keeper and one of the best goalkeepers of his generation. At the back the greatest defender of all time Franz Beckenbauer marshals the defence and provides impeccable reading of the game and defensive nous; he will also provide world class distribution from the back. Next to him is Djalma who was a fantastic defender, he will provide cover while Kaiser ventures forward, Djalma will also provide support for Lato ahead of him. We have created a fortress of a defence by bringing in one of the best centre back stoppers of all time Jurgen Kohler providing world class defensive cover. The core of Kaiser + Kohler provides immense defensive strength against the oppositions fantastic centrally oriented attack. At left back is Briegel bustling with energy and physicality able to provide attacking threat as well as top class defensive cover.
In midfield, 2 time world cup winner Zito is tasked with screening the defence and providing precise distribution from deep midfield positions, he is also a fantastic ball winner able to break up opposition attacks and setup quick counters. We have boosted our midfield by bringing in Brazilian master Falcaoin central midfield and has the box to box role and provides additional energy and bite in the midfield area as well as impeccable playmaking skills from deeper positions. In front of these two is the greatest no.10 of all time Maradona he will be at the centre of the team in the attacking phase with the play running through him, he will be devastating making runs from deep positions and also through his immense passing feeding the front 3.
In attack Muller the most lethal finisher of all time spearheads the attack, he will be ready waiting to pounce from service from Maradona and wide areas. Muller has everything required to thrive with Maradona at unparalleled levels — ultra productive so he can make the most of Maradona's creative skillset, unselfish and wouldn't mind doing some dirty work through the central channels, not a big dribbler so there will be no overlap between them, perfected the art of losing his marker so he could get on the end of Maradona's crosses, and tactically intelligent to boot. At RW is Polish legend Lato known for his pace and dribbling ability, he will be a menace taking on the opposition full back. We have reinforced the team by bringing in United legend Ryan Giggs on the left, his hard working and selfless game is tailor made to work with Muller and Maradona, furthermore he also has his own x-factor being able to score and create too.
Overall the team is setup with the 3 best players in defence, midfield and attack to thrive and has been significantly upgraded in midfield with the inclusion of Falcao; the team is setup to play direct football with quick transitions and also built on solid foundation at the back able to soak up pressure when required. The players around Maradona (the heartbeat of the attack) all have the attributes to share a special chemistry and provide a platform for him to dominate the game. Furthermore, it is also difficult to envision a better spine in the draft (Beckenbauer-Maradona-Muller) and on an individual level all three are loaded with the individual ability to make a difference in a close match up and win the game for us.
Tactics GSTQ
Style of play : Quick counter attacking football. Build from the back when not counter attacking with the idea of pacing things up in the final third.
Defending style : Zonal. Congest the central areas
Special roles : Carlos and Leandro
1. Act as the secondary play makers of the team with lots of freedom.
2. Help in congesting the central areas by crowding the midfield when required (One of the best tactics against Maradona IMO).
Out balls from the back on counters :
Runs forward - Bonhof, Carlos, Leandro
Long balls - Baresi, Ferrara, Leandro, Carlos, Bonhof
3-4-1-2 without two B2B midfielders?
Was surprised to see many calling out Mauro Silva in this setup. One of the earliest adopters of this setup was Franz Beckenbauer who used it for the first time in 1986 WC. (Infact the final was a 3-5-2 vs 3-5-2, just different variants)
What was so unique about the 1986 WC? Never before in history had you seen such a galore of GOAT number 10's in one WC. Probably won't see it again. To name a few - Maradona, Platini, Zico, Laudrup and a lot more of tier 2 No 10's.
Not having a proper DM would have been suicidal in such a tournament. Throughout the tournament, West Germany played with a double pivot with 1 DM and 1 B2B midfielder. By the final, both the pivots were more or less defensive.
So where did the out ball and creativity come from? Besides the primary play maker, the creativity came from the wing backs who had really expansive roles.
Take a look at the 1986 setup of West Germany. I wanted to make a more detailed post on this but sadly I didn't get enough time.
