PHYSIOCRAT TACTICS
Tactics – Direct/ Mixed
Formation – 433
Defensive Line Balanced
Marking – Zonal
Pace, creativity and goals, goals, goals. Ronaldinho and Best supplied by the midfield supported by the full-backs will be a serious threat all game. Scholes’s immaculate diagonals on the counter, in addition to Nedved and Tigana’s shorter game they will be hard to keep out all game. Nedved will play an LCM role shifting between LM and CM as he sees fit.
Let’s not also forget that Diego Forlan was a complete and deadly striker. Joint-top scorer in the 2010 World Cup with 5 goals including a goal in both the quarters and semis, in addition to being named player of the tournament. Pichichi winner in 04-05 and 08-09. At his three year consecutive peak at Atletico Madrid between 07-10 he scored 66 goals in 102 league games. He was also one of the most two footed players I have ever seen. If you have time watch this video – it also showcases some of his aerial ability. With his link-up play he will thrive with Best and Ronaldinho either side of him.
The back four is pretty self-explanatory with Bennarivo and Bessonov bombing on one at a time. Roberto Ayala is rarely picked but he has over 100 caps for Argentina and at his peak was a tenacious tackler and aerial best who was quick and could pass well – he was awarded the best defender in Europe in 2001. Partnered with Thiago Silva they really make a complete modern CB pair.
In the organised defensive phase we will revert to a 442 and compress the space.
JIM BEAM TACTICS
Tactics: 3-4-2-1; extremely tough to break in the defensive phase while on the other hand, it can hurt the opponent either through quick transition or more patient build-up as a natural structure provides a lot of angles and passing lanes
The idea and the inspiration
Provide Messi and
- not really as up steps Luis Suarez Miramontes who thrived in controlling the game for Grande Inter side of the '60s;
- Himannv thankfully and from what I see also plans to use Xavi in a different setup, so all is forgiven;
Inspirations - mainly Thomas Tuchel Chelsea side, but also Guardiola, Conte and Pat Mustard
How do the tactics work?
The tactic uses one additional CB to provide more defensive cover and is extremely tough to score against. At the same time, it is a nightmare to play against as the whole team is playing very narrow and close to each other in the central area while at the same time the opponent is pulled wide by the attacking wing-backs and down through the center with the movement of the striker.
Who benefits the most from the system?
You guessed it, folks... two AM's who have the license and freedom to roam behind the striker giving them a perfect platform to excel.
Requirements and personnel?
On the goalkeeper position comes Allison Becker, one of the greatest goalkeepers today, with his excellent positioning, distribution, and ability to play out from the back.
Back 3 (Dario Pereyra, Ricardo Carvalho, Giusseppe Bergomi), all have to be great defenders, first and foremost, but at the same time very good on the ball. Two wing-backs (Bixente Lizarazu and Leandro) need to have excellent stamina along with brilliant technical ability providing another attacking outlet for the team.
Midfield two is constructed out of a deep-lying playmaker (Luis Suarez Miramontes) and box-to-box midfielder with endless stamina (Søren Lerby).
The striker (Mario Kempes) needs to be aggressive and constantly attack the opponent's backline. He will not only be responsible for goalscoring duties but also for running and moving into the channels drawing opponent CB's on himself and disrupting the opposition backline. The space which opens up will be attacked by Lionel Messi and Bobby Charlton who will play in halfspaces behind the striker.
Using the younger, more mobile version of Messi here considering the team (both midfield and attack) will press high once the ball is lost trying to regain possession instantly or allowing our defence to settle back a bit while stopping the counters.
