Boris Tactics
Apologies caught for time.
Goalkeeper: Complete player, capable of marshalling a deep defensive line or sweeping in behind a pushed up defence, well capable of playing out from defence.
Defence: Classic sweeper/stopper combo of world class players, full backs who will look to bomb forward and provide width.
Midfield: The wide midfielders will look to create overloads in the midfield and attack open spaces with forward runs. The centre will have one holder who will look to run the game, and a complete box to box player who will do the necessary to impose his personality on the game.
Attack: Main striker will look to pull to the left at times and curl shots into the far corner, a second striker who will look to drop into space and receive balls on the turn and utilise excellent long range hooting on either foot.
Key feature:
Left side, proven Pires/Henry partnership with Roberto Carlos an upgrade on Ashley Cole.

Formation – 442
Defensive Line Balanced
Marking – Zonal
Press – Half-Court
One clear advantage I have is a genuine great, and hardworking, playmaker in van Hanegem. He can mastermind the midfield and has full licence back to front to dictate as he sees fit. Partnered with the excellent defensive CM in Zito who is also very tidy on the ball. Flanked by the hardworking Zagallo provides excellent balance in midfield. Zagallo also allows me to field Marcelo to give him the freedom to provide and overlap on the left. The speedy hardman Vierchowod can ably cover for him especially since dependable Armfield, who was described as the world’s best right back in 1962, will be more balanced. Blanc will marshal the defence and provide excellent passing from CB – also his knowledge of Henry will be invaluable in limiting his influence (with a balanced line and his quickness of mind Henry’s pace will not be as great of an issue as it might otherwise be, clearly Vierchowod helps too). Clearly one of the all time great keepers in Banks will not be easily passed.
Another place I have an advantage is that I have three huge goal threats: Batistuta is the best goalscorer on the pitch and was pretty pacy in his younger days. The Preston plumber who scored nearly 1 in 2 before he was shifted to second-striker. Finally Seeler who scored 43 goals in 72 games for Germany and around a 1 goal per game ratio for Hamburg. Further Seeler’s intelligence and passing will provide more creativity in the centre to play in Finney and Batistuta. Also his work off the ball out of possession will provide defensive solidity and give Boris’s midfield a problem in possession.
Finally, I have a lot of set piece threats. Both van Hanegem curl them in and Batistuta can blast them. Also from corners and crossed free kicks Seeler, Vierchowod, Blanc and Batistuta cause Boris a lot of problems in the air.
