ZaZ said: Unfortunately it would not work very well. The out of possession part of the tactic is not just for defense, but also has direct influence in where you recover the ball for counter attacks and what options you have available when the ball is recovered. The same for the other way around, with in possession part of the tactic being very important for defense.
One practical example of what I am talking about is to have a lower defensive line to create more space behind the enemy defenders to exploit with long balls. Expand
Thank you!
I also noticed that when I was attacking, the gap between back 3 defenders and front 7 attackers is really big, and in many cases the opponent can easily pass the ball to someone in this gap area and start counterattack. Do you have any suggestions on covering this gap area when attacking? Would that be a bad trade-off by sacrifing attacking?
