Inspiration: Viktor Maslov's Dynamo Kiev 1966-1968 (Soviet Champions in all 3 of these seasons and winner of the Soviet Cup in 1967)
Formation: 4-1-3-2 similar to Alf Ramsey's wingless wonders
Source: https://www.passion4fm.com/evolution-of-barcelonas-tiki-taka-playing-style/
Tactics:
Defense: High Defensive Line, Zonal Marking, Pressing
Maslov on Man Marking
Attack: Interchangability, Total Football Prototype, Attacking Fullbacks, Di Stefano as main playmaker, Using orgnization and interchangability to create the potential to outnumber the opposition in any part of the pitch.
Player Roles
The defense will play a high defensive line with zonal marking (as Maslov was not a fan of man marking). The fullbacks will also get forward to take part in the attack and create width The DM role in this tactic which is being played by Redondo has 2 functions which are to be a fixed defensive point (i.e. a holding midfielder) so that the fullbacks can attack and to initiate attacks from deep. The 3 midfielders in front of Redondo will play an important role in pressing and hunting down the opposition. Additionally Di Stefano as the central player in the 3 will be the teams main playmaker (a role played by Andriy Biba in the Dynamo side which Maslov describes as follows):
In addition to finishing ability and teamwork, my two strikers Rooney and Shevchenko will also help contribute to pressing off the ball (in what is a modernisation of Maslov's tactics as the pressing usually started from the midfielders).
An advantage that my team has is that four of the players (Dasayev, Bezsonov, Demyanenko and Shevchenko) played regularly under Lobanovsky who used similar tactics to Maslov

Playing style, tactics
Lattek was an incredibly adaptable and innovative manager whose Bayern side often gets overlooked in favour of the Dutch sides of the 70's... his Bayern side was just as futuristic with its crazy full backs who could join in with the midfield and wide players who were playmakers rather than just out and out wide men. He seemingly favoured a hard working base in midfield across his various sides and also deployed a libero more often than not... preferring to have a sweeper to clean up any complexities posed by the opposition threat.
I modelled his side more on the Bayern outfit of the early 70's but it is more of a Greatest Hits tribute act.
Player roles
GK: FILLOL - based on Sepp Maier ... an agile shot stopper, the Argentine is a great All-time level replacement for him.
RB: BURGNICH - based on Berti Vogts... tucked in defensive right back cum man marker... The Italian was the original.
CB: GODIN - based on Schwarzenbeck... the steel to Beckenbauer's classier approach
SW: BARESI - based on Beckenbauer.
LB: NILTON - based on Breitner.. pioneer of attacking left backs and right footed to boot.
MIDFIELD TRIO: EDWARDS - TARDELLI - MASOPUST based on Roth-Kappelmann-Zobel .. hard working box to box trio.
LW: RIVELINO - based on Hoeness.. a playmaking left winger who could score goals and drift into attacking midfield areas.
CF: ROMARIO - the perfect replacement for Gerd Muller.
Alterations from the original
RW: MATTHEWS - not really based on a specific player but I thought Matthews is usually misportrayed as just a pure outside right but IMO his midfield link up and ability to cut inside was underrated as was his possession play - not to mention super fit and hard working and I reckon Lattek would love him in front of a Vogts.

Jonathan Wilson in Inverting the Pyramid: The History of Football Tacticsif there is a single man who can claim to be the father of modern football, it is Viktor Maslov.

Source: Jonathan Wilson, Inverting the Pyramid: The History of Football TacticsOnly Biba retains full rights of democracy. He is a very clever and honest player, who would never allow himself any excess and never abuses his skills. Andriy will do exactly what is necessary. He has the right to construct the game as though he were the coach himself during the match, making decisions as to how to shape it. The others then grasp his ideas and develop them as far as they can.
In addition to finishing ability and teamwork, my two strikers Rooney and Shevchenko will also help contribute to pressing off the ball (in what is a modernisation of Maslov's tactics as the pressing usually started from the midfielders).
