Creator's Notes

Tactic that admired Marco Rose's fluid attacking trio and overlapping wingbacks with a mixed midfield that was both defensively solid and had the ability to support attacks.

Playmaking midfielder in RDM Defensive midfielder in LDM WIngers having opposite foot on respective side (right footer on left, left footer on right)

Opposition instructions: weaker foot for all wide players tight marking for any central attacking midfielders always press wingback/fullbacks

Individual instructions: SK: none BPD (lcb): Less urgent pressing, stay wider BPD (rcb): stay wider CWB[S} (lb): mark specific position: rw/rm WB (rb): stay wider, mark specific position: lw/lm HB: (ldm): none RGA (rdm): tackle harder IF (lw): sit narrower, roam from position, mark specific position: rb/rwb AM (cam): get further forward, roam from position, take more risks, move into channels IW (rw): sit narrower, get further forward, roam from position, mark specific position: lb/lwb DLF: none

Mentality: Balanced

In possession: shorter passing play out of defense hit early crosses low crosses run at defence be more expressive overlap right overlap left narrow

In transition: take short kicks distribute to centre backs distribute quickly counter counter-press

Out of possession: Force opposition outside higher defensive line much higher line of engagement more urgent prevent short GK distribution get stuck in use tighter marking use offside trap
