What if Enzo Maresca arrived at Chelsea a season earlier??
A huge advocate for relationism and or positional play in football Mr. Maresca loves to create overloads in the middle of the pitch; usually with the use of an inverted wingback and a more central midfielder moving further forward to join the attack/buildup while creating space for the incoming inverted wingback.Essentially this would create many scenarios during a match where he has two players occupying the central space behind the striker; while said striker pins the opposing defenders back by generally sticking to his position when all of these ideas work properly he expects to generate situations where his wingers would be in constant 1v1s against the opposition defenders.
I hope it's not too late to point out that he usually sets all of this up in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation, I have added my own little twist to all the above; because I'm always trying to find ways to make a very compact system that will deny my opposition chances at goal.
