The 4231 is clearly the best choice and after tonight I'm sure Ciro will adopt it regulary
- We play more effecient, flowing football, with less longballs.
- We create more chances, and therefore score more goals.
- With their interchanging passing, our attacking trio unlocks a lot of space.
- Unlike the 4312, the opposition cannot sever our main link between the midfield and attack without exposing themselves elsewhere.
Also, defensively, we leaves less space with this formation. Despite not playing with 3 defensive mids, we actually plug more holes in midfield because Seba/Diego/Camo can apply more pressure higher up the pitch than just Diego alone, forcing the opposition to get rid of the ball more quickly and therefore creating more mistakes.
