  1. Very rigid way of looking at this formation. You don't have to have two "defensive midfielders" you can have one no.8 in there. Also the wide players can be wingers or wide or attacking midfielders or one of each so you have width on one side and the other a more roaming player

  2. When the outside players don’t create back pressure and are on the wrong side of the ball defensively. They will hang their teammates out to dry. Bad formation for young teams.

  3. Roma's Spalletti from 2005-2009 era are the best team who played it with Totti false 9 up front and Perrotta behind him as a shadow striker plus Mancini and Taddei as inverted wingers was a spectacle to watch

  4. What the hell is the difference between this ole 4231 and tenhag 4231 where martial and rashford have gone missing while only fernandes the constant in that formation?

  5. As a first year boys soccer coach I have learned so much from watching your videos and I have shared your videos with my players so they can understand their responsibilities. I am actually going to be running this formation this Friday.

  6. Great explanation on the 4-2-3-1 formation. This is a revised Christmas tree formation 4-3-2-1 to better support the attack. I particularly like the 3-2-3-2 as an attacking formation with the two power forwards up and keeping the defense occupied. With the team taking with long range shots, medium range shots, and short range shots. When needed the 3-2-3-2 transforms into a 5-4-1-0, to defend the heart of the goal, the triangle formed by the two corner spots and the center of the pitch. This formation is ideal for solid defending, strong marking, anticipation, unity, and intelligent ball recovery, and for fast counter attacks.
