EAP Tactics
Formation:
5-4-1 / Hybrid Carre Magique
Tactics:
"Saint Iker" Casillas, one of the greatest GKs of all time mans the goal. Consistent and able to produce spectacular saves, he'd be the final guardian.
Ronald Koeman leads the defence. A top notch libero and master of orchestrating the game from the deep, he'll provide the added security and creativity from the deep. He's supported by Karlheinz Forster and Berti Vogts, both world class man markers and defensive mainstays. Hans-Peter Briegel and Gianluca Zambrotta are dynamic all action one man flank type wingbacks. Their tenacity and ability to motor up and down the pitch, and deliver key crosses consistently will be a source of width and header goals for Batigol.
Luis Fernandez, Jean Tigana and Alain Giresse reprise roles very similar to their stint with France surrounding Euro 1984 (where both Giresse and Tigana ended up as runners to Balon d'Or in 1982 and 1984 respectively) providing a midfield engine of proven combination of grit, flair and creativity. Ruud Gullit spear heads the midfield. He was a Total Football player, versatile in many positions, with capable of aiding his team defensively as well as offensively due to his work-rate, ball-winning abilities, and tactical intelligence in addition to his skill and physical qualities .
Gabriel "Batigol" Batistuta, a complete and prolific forward with an eye for the goal having powerful, clinical finishing ability both in ground and in the air leads the line. Having likes of Giresse and Gullit behind him plus regular supply of crosses from Briegel and Zambrotta, it's inevitable for him to be on the scoresheet.
Skizzo Tactics
Tactics - 4-3-2-1/4-3-3
Solid back four built with a midfield two to look to condense space for Edgar's front three to operate in.
Going forward, Nordahl will look to operate inside the box, giving a focal point to stretch the pitch deep. Litmanen will play a wide forward role, looking to run beyond, operating almost in a free role with his movement to unsettle the defense and pull them apart. Deco being the one to unlock the defense
Ronaldinho given more of a free role on the inside left. (and any excuse to watch him)
Litmanen's role will probably be the one questioned here, so to touch on that briefly, he'll be looking to play his supporting striker role and run in beyond and play off Nordahl, but rather than focus centrally I wanted his movement and off the ball work to be operating more in a wide right area to start and drift in when applicable. I didn't want to have two wingers who were going to dribble here because with a packed defense, I prefer having someone to unlock with their passing (Deco), someone to stretch the play and be a focal point inside the area (Nordahl), someone to make runs and look to pull defenders with a high work rate (Litmanen), and someone who can unlock a defense with some magic feet (Ronaldinho)
