They could be using that to pressure the defence for the defensive training

Kostic---Pogba---Vlahovic---Rabiot---Chiesa ‐---‐----------------------Locatelli Cambiaso ----- Gatti-Bremer ------ Danilo Easy way to attack. Personally not sure about Loca regista but Max will never change so just do this. If Pogba is on holiday put Fagioli there. That's where he should get...

The 5 across is actually the proper way to attack but not when the fullback has the ball. Someone has to be there obviously. However, when you play 5 across in attack with two wingers who are pure flank players, naturally the space between the winger and striker opens up. So to put Rabiot and...

Fair enough. I'm not really infatuated with the idea of possession. My main thing with the counter press stuff is that I find it's actually easier to defend that way sometimes. The roles are easier, you just hunt the ball. I think it's actually harder to defend deep because of VAR in the box...

Pirlo was disorganized, yes. The front pressed and the backline turned and sprinted to their box in the opposite direction. Like I said, you need a balance. All I hear is the midfield is shit. Well then you're telling me they're supposed to set attack from their 18 yard? They never will. It's...

You have to run more of a balance. For me, Bonucci is good at anticipation when the opponent plays hurried passes. He is good at playing the trap. He is bad at winning headers in the box and contesting in the box. I wouldn't say we have to press 90 minutes. I would say we should counter press...

I'd add Cuadrado, Danilo, De Ligt and I find Bonucci better in high pressure for anticipating hurried passes then in his own box actually defending.

4-5-1 defensive phase and attack like this:

Bonucci formations :tuttosport: 3 ATB is better than man mark 4 ATB (for Bonucci) but worse than zonal. Bonucci is good in 4 man zonal.

That's a symptom of 4-3-1-2 cancer. The CMs are a step late all the time because they have to cover too much ground. You are asking the CAM to run from one side to the other to press an entire line of the opposition's play. And in attack, you literally need the fullbacks to be wingers or else...

4-3-3 put Ronaldo in the centre. Concede 0 goals. What I would give to be free of the 2 striker formation. Danilo - De Ligt - Chiellini - Alex Sandro Arthur Cuadrado - Kulusevski - McKennie - Chiesa Ronaldo

I still prefer Ronaldo by himself and 10 players behind him.

The only way to balance the team is to play Ronaldo as a #9. Classic 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 with him in the centre and sacrifice Dybala on the wing. That's it. The rest of the solutions are completely unbalanced. You would have to relax on high pressing and counter attack more to give him...

Well we thought that we bought Ramsey to play mezzala because Paratici literally said that was his best position. Unfortunately, there was no communication between him and the coach he hired.

4-3-3 Ronaldo #9. Matuidi bench. Costa/Berna LW to smash crosses. Dybala RW (sacrifice). LCM either Ramsey as a mezzala type or Rabiot more defensive. Higuain super sub and rotation. If Ronaldo wants to drift wide then Dybala can fill the space like Guedes does with Portugal. All...

This is why Matuidi still plays. I have questions whether Rabiot can run enough for this role. But I want to see Berna there for a few minutes against Brescia or something. Because that also gives you the 4-4-2 attack option.

Early leader for starting front 3 is probably Costa-Ronaldo-Bernardeschi

Allegri has played something like this before but you would need to swap the positions of CR7 and Mario because in the defensive phase Mario would play LM in a 4-4-2 setup. Then of course you have Mario back post spamming for easy goals. Also he would probably use Matuidi instead of Can.

Since we are posting lineups that will never happen: Cuadrado-Benatia-Chiellini-Alex Sandro Bernardeschi-Pjanic-Matuidi Costa-Ronaldo-Cancelo

Who is our backup CM now? AS can't play RCM. Cancelo too good on the flank. Berna hurt. Cuadrado :shifty:... ::tuttosport:
