4-3-1-2 Simplicity is Key

Lately i've been looking to change the way my teams play, so what better than to search inspiration from the best of the best ?

This tactic doens't aim to be a recreation of Bianchi's Boca, Ramon's River, or Felipão's Palmeiras (and Gremio), instead it serves as a "Modernization" of one of the most used formations and tactics of the late 90's, one that was able to win several Libertadores and Club World Cups.

I tested the tactic with Inter Milan.

THE SHAPE + INSTRUCTIONS









EXPLANATION

Before getting to the results, let's talk a bit about what this tactic looks to do in the pitch:
-Both strikers look to constantly move around, confusing the defense and creating fields of space.
-Full backs help in the build and in the final third.
-Midfield to support the attack, and play deep passes to break opposition's lines.
-Shadow Striker exploiting the space created by the AFs.
