This is exactly how Cruyff used to have Barca play in early 90s before Romario joined them. Pep was playing the same role Xabi Alonso plays here. Then Pep first used this at Barca during 2011-12 season when Fabregas joined the team.
What i love about this video is that, for anyone whos read Cruyffs books where he ecplains his philosophy, this video illustrates every single part of it. Might be Peps team, but the DNA is Cruyff.
I think cruyff’s 3-4-3 had 1 centre back & 2 fullbacks near him with a holding/defensive midfielder creating a diamond at the back which allowed them to shuffle the ball quickly & get out of pressing situations, basically there was a diamond at the back, midfield and even the attack.
High press plus mid block Then they can only play through flanks which kills the game and makes it difficult to build from the back Example: current Chelsea squad are facing the difficulty of this formation
It makes the 3-4-3 of Barcelona 11-12 with Fabregas

Yeah he used it against AC Milan in the UCL 2012 quarter final 1st leg.
@@hsafootballworld1321 Pep used it before that. One of the first La Liga games of the 2011-12 season. He also used it against Real M.

Guardiola was the pivot in that cruyff team.
Oooh q listo
Great video mate!! Where did you find the whole game?
Thx! footballia
how to counter his formation
Mid block and fast wingers will kill this formation
High press plus mid block
Then they can only play through flanks which kills the game and makes it difficult to build from the back
Example: current Chelsea squad are facing the difficulty of this formation
That’s a 343
