Team Himann
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tactics: 4-2-3-1 with midfield pressing expecting balanced possession.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Defensive operation of the system:
- In the defensive phase, this team employs a medium defensive block and shifts to a 4-5-1.
- Zico drops into midfield, but also presses higher up the pitch and partners Eusebio.
- In this system, the two centre-backs must be able to defend in a 1-vs-1 situation and understand both zonal and man-to-man marking. With Kohler and Godin, I feel this is a key strength of theirs and this tactic will naturally fit them.
- The wingers drop deeper to help out their fullback, always looking to join the attack when possession is won.
- The midfield duo is tasked to use their energy and protect the space in front of the defence.
- The first aspect to mention regarding this tactic is to restrict the opposition in the midfield with 5 players patrolling that area - this is done to ensure that whoever is playing closest to the box drops deeper to collect the ball. We want to ensure that Henrik Larson's absence is felt and reduce any presence in the box.
- The second goal is to ensure that when the ball is won, the counter is always on and a key tactic is to get the ball to Eusebio and let him burn teams with his pace, strength, and striking.

Attacking operation of the system:
- Works like a typical 3-2-5 that you see in modern days - except that Azpilicueta is slightly more defensive-minded than Alves on the other flank.
- One CM (Bonhof in this case) drops in-between the CBs and acts as the last line. This CM works on distribution and getting the ball to more creative attackers.
- The other CM (McT) situated on the right to offer support but also protection for Alves's attacking forays.
- Zico, Jinky, and Heynckes are the more creative forces here (essentially the 3 in the 4-2-3-1).
- Zico in particular has the freedom to attack where he pleases and create chances as well as score them.
Attacking goals:
- Unlock the defense and give Zico the freedom to move where he wants and options to play off.
- Get one-on-one with those CBs.
Team Indy
Tactics - 4-4-2 with pressing from the front with Mane, Blokhin, Keegan, and Matthews leading the press
Brehme is a bit more adventurous as a full back
