Tactical Philosophy:
A high-energy, possession-heavy system inspired by Guardiola, blending control and verticality. Inside forwards stretch defences, creative midfielders dictate tempo, and full-backs overload wide areas. Defensively robust, using a high line and aggressive pressing to suffocate opposition.

Key Strengths:
Dominates possession and territory.

Multiple creative outlets, goals from wide and central areas.

Quick transitions, suffocating counter-press.

Consistent chance creation from cutbacks and through balls.

Excellent for teams with mobile midfielders and technical defenders.

Tips:
Use technical and hardworking players, especially in midfield and full-back positions.

Rotate your midfield trio to maintain energy and balance.

Train defenders for composure and passing.
