Thank you for providing such high quality information for free! I love using these types of videos to teach others about the complexity in the modern game. I think all the variations in tactics are fascinating. Keep up the good work.
Chance this won't be seen, but does anyone have suggestions how they should position themselves when the ball turns over? Do they stay in the middle and try to win the ball back, or do they drop back and sprint out wide to defend the opposing teams wingers?
Great video! If you are a team to press the opposition it needs to be more organized and compacted. It seems to me the pressing was more individual based that lacked cohesion. What do you guys think?
That is an interesting approach to combating this setup. The front two are still down a man in the front line. Pressing high would not be a great approach to take in my opinion. The midfield 5 could be a real upside because it covers the width of the pitch very well. If the team playing the 4-1-4-1 finds an "out" either wide or through the center, you'd think you would have bodies there to pick up the man on the ball. The problem is in the final line, where your back 3 could be exposed in wide areas. If you look at the frame where the setup is shown with triangles you'll notice the wingers take up very wide positions and the striker remains fairly central. Quick switch in play or passes that break multiple lines of defense could leave you exposed on the weak side in a situational 1v1 or 2v2. Overall you might temporally have your back 3 against the opposition's wingers and striker in a 3v3 , until your team recovers into a good defensive team shape. I wouldn't want to rely on winning individual battles all game long in a team sport. If I were to combat it knowing what little I've learned from brilliant videos such as this I'd opt for one of two options. Park the bus in a 5-4-1 (this could look like Chelsea's new 3-4-3 offensively or a number of other variations) or if I intended to press high I would play a 4-2-2-2 like Bayern Leverkusen or Athletico Madrid as they have both combated teams that have used a similar system to this on offense (namely Barcelona and Bayern Munich). In regards to the 3-5-2, you'd have to win battles in midfield and be okay with potentially getting exposed in wide areas. Everything has it's pros and cons. The 4-2-2-2 hexagonal setup I'm leaning towards purposefully would leave wide players open. This is like dangling a carrot in front of a horse. If you are unfamiliar with setting traps watch the Inverted Fullbacks videos on Athletico Madrid and Leverkusen to get an idea about what I'm talking about. You open yourself up purposefully in the hopes that the oppositions play is predictable ... Hope that made sense and helps.
That's the benefit of inverted fullbacks, they're already defending what's most important; the middle. Typically inverted fullbacks drag opposition forwards with them, if they don't then either they are wide open or the next players up (typically CAM's) are open. Long story short, with their positional rotation, they basically become CDM's during the transition phase of attack to defense.
@@kaiwerring6853 Makes sense, but with the fullbacks basically becoming CDM’s, it leaves the wide areas completely open. And yes, when defending you’d generally want the opisition to play the ball out wide. So I guess my question is how would a coach set up his team vs this formation with the inverted fullbacks? Would the primary focus be transition with overloads in wide areas? Btw I’ve watched your videos & learned a few things, nice work!
Really good presentation mate!
Ally, that is brilliant - really enjoyed it. Learned more about the IFB there than I have ever done.
well done! I would be interested to watch more.

Well done pal - Great presentation. Very detailed and informative
Excellent video, thanks for putting it together!
Top quality presentation. Subscribed!
Great video! Could you perhaps go into how to defend with IFBs in the transition to prevent the opposition exploiting the space on the flanks?

Plz make more videos... that was brilliant.....
top class pres excellent pal!

Awesome!
That number 3, whats the name?
How do they defend crosses from players that are high and wide?
How effective would a 3-5-2 with two cdm and a moderately high defensive line be against this system?

Extremely bad defending of the opposition.
how will your inverted full backs defend?
