Impenetrable Underdog 4-3-3: Bottom Three to CHAMPIONS

I took over a relatively small team in Finland during the promotion playoffs. Got them promoted and then with one transfer window created a 4-3-3 which saw them lift their first title in over 50 years after being predicted to finish 9th out of 12 teams.

This is a very fluid system, based on short passes, interchanging movements and an aggressive front three.

Also tested with Real Madrid, and it showed a top club could also dominate, with the midfield's passing numbers looking very impressive.

The tactic is explained in the video and the results are there to see.

Training

This is so key to your team understanding this tactic.

Weekly Match prep, including teamwork and match tactics are needed to help the players understand what's going on, as well as Match Review after each fixture.

Do this early and throughout the season and you will see the benefits.

For the individual players, train them for the position they are going to play and the tactic will benefit.

Set Pieces

They are included in the tactic. Just make sure you have your best header of the ball attacking the front post for corners and back post for free kicks.
