3-5-2 of Udinese

So all the legends are over : no defensive play ,no extra injuries ,no old fashionated ways of build up .


Guidolin proved right when decided to quit 4-2-3-1 and 4-2-2-1-1 and to adopt a solid and very elegant 3-5-2 .It was middle of November of 2010 .Sanchez was mad because he was running like a winger ,Di Natale was scorless for 5 matches and Armero was totally exposed .

The two mc were suffering and were asking constantly for more help .

So Guidolin made the final decision

3-5-2


GK Handnovic - DC - Domizzi-Benatia-Zapata Right Full Back Isla Left Full Back armero .Three midfielders - Pinzi-Inler and Asamoah .Di Natale Sanchez .Udinese grabbed in the second round the MOST POINTS IN SERIE A .Sanchez scored in the second round 12 goals .In the first he scored just twice or trice .


Modern is only what brings victories .Greece was astonishing because of 3-5-2 .

*You attack always with 3-4 and maybe 5 players .Your mc is always helping ,your wing backs give help constantly and you have always your central axes tight .

*In the defense phase one wing back who is closer to dc becomes the 4th in the defense and you immediately have a succesfull 4-3-3 .

*When you steal the ball in your own half you can make attack even with 7 players .
Two backs ,2 mc ,your two strikers and maybe one stopper who has push up .

*You avoid the risks because your defence is always protected with 3 dc and 3 mc infront of them


*You dont ruin your attacking minded in the wings ,you put them as strikers and you made your
opponents to suffer .

*Your goalkeeper can be an extra player if he is a decent passer .

*Whole team is balanced and compact without ignoring the counter attacks or possesion game.

*By making your lines tighter you play much better pressing and you keep possesion always.

*Your opponent will be forced to attack more and to give your more space to hit him in the

counter .

*Your team will be always in an advantageous position in the away matches .Because your opponents will rush to score and to attack .You have the benefit of easy goals .
