BIG DUNK
EAP Tactics
Formation: 4-3-2-1
Tactics: Compact defence, easy and quick transitions to attack.
A solid defensive line with two versatile and balanced fullbacks. Three dynamic midfielders who will contribute both in offensive and defensive phases. A lethal attacking trio comfortable both inside and outside to keep defences guessing.
BIG DUNK Tactics
Allow no space or penetration on the LEFT FLANK: the great Antonio Cabrini supported by enforcer Dave Mackay and covered by the hard-tackling Roberto Rosato.
RIGHT FLANK: the complete Manuel Amoros plays alongside Rolls-Royce defender Ciro Ferrara, supported with highly competitive Patrick Vieira in midfield.
CENTRE: Ciro Ferrara and Roberto Rosato can take up the hardest man-marking duties if needed. Both comfortable in the air, wide or on the ball. Their masterful positioning, tackling and reading of the game, combined with Matthias Sammer’s covering, defensive leadership and control in the sweeper role makes the backline water-tight. Gordon Banks stands between the sticks, possessing supernatural reflexes and is a calming presence.
CENTRAL DOMINANCE in midfield: Dave Mackay and Patrick Vieira will ensure I win the mental and physical battle in midfield. Both are fine passers, adding tenacity and aggression to a defensively solid platform. Their complete game is combined with the playmaking genius of Günter Netzer. Their passing and long ball distribution added to their defensive game will help keep us in control in both the attacking and defensive phase. Sammer will join the midfield to create endless passing triangles, further defensive quality and direct vertical movement. Mackay will provide excellent covering when Sammer/our wingback push forward/are high.
SAMMER AND NETZER combining: this will be art. Their movement and passing will break any defensive line and will be hard to contain and mark. Ronaldo and Rummenigge will create space for Sammer - and even the wingbacks can underlap my forwards if they play wide.
FEED RONALDO and RUMMENIGGE: crosses (both low driven, lofted and high) will be delivered by our wingbacks, Cabrini and Amoros. Günter Netzer will be able to find the wingbacks and front two all day, delivering an array of perfectly weighted passes, whipped crosses and accurate through-balls.
MIXED TEMPO: We can play a patient possession game, dictated by the Magic Square of Sammer-Mackay-Vieira-Netzer, with Amoros and Cabrini attacking down the flanks OR prove deadly on the counter: our wingbacks, box-to-box Vieira, Netzer, Rummenigge and Ronaldo will be deadly on the fast counter / direct passing vertical transition.
DANGEROUS on flanks: Amoros will overlap Rummenigge and Cabrini will overlap Ronaldo. The Amoros-Rummenigge and Cabrini-Ronaldo combinations will overwhelm the opponent’s fullbacks.
Moreover, both Cristiano Ronaldo and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, complete forwards, will have the freedom to move wide, cut in from the wing, play central, drive through the middle or play off / create chances for eachother.
