Basically, I like tactics that are a bit original, rather narrow and offensive, whether it’s in the positioning of the players or the roles. So we’re going for an offensive 3-3-3-1 based on intense pressing, a lot of movement and a lot of possession with a Regista & an Enganche.

Golden Circus’ Team instructions

Few instructions on the tactics, except to focus play a little on the wings to use the splits between the Shadow Strikers and the Inverted Wing-Backs as much as possible.

We also play shorter and slightly higher to encourage triangle play and possession.

The rest of the instructions are very classical, we put in place a big pressing to recover the ball as soon as possible.
