3-4-2-1 Journey: Ascending Portugal's Divisions

Over a decade in Football Manager management, my strategy with the 3-4-2-1 formation propelled my club from the lowest division to the Primeira Liga in Portugal.

I meticulously maintained balanced budgets, keeping finances in the green, and recruited young talents and experienced players without contracts.

Inspired by Xavi Alonso's tactics at Bayer Leverkusen, I made specific adaptations to optimize the team's performance.

Throughout this journey, I achieved notable milestones, reaching the Champions League and the group stage of the Conference League. Winning a Portuguese Cup further highlighted the success of the strategy.

This methodical ascent not only underscores my tactical prowess but also emphasizes the importance of solid financial management and the effective fusion of promising youth and experienced players.

The brilliance of my club echoes not just in victories but in the crafting of a remarkable trajectory.
