Senza Attaccante

Senza Attaccante is tactically solid from both a defensive and attacking point of view. It is structured in principles but the whole squad is expected to contribute to each phase of play.

The tactic has been tested with PSG, Pescara, Bayer Leverkusen, Boavista and Southampton and has returned immensely impressive results with all of them.

With Bayer Leverkusen, they won the Bundesliga, DFB Pokal and Europa League all in the first season.

Southampton finished 4th (predicted 10th), Boavista finished 2nd (predicted 8th) both teams had no signings.

Pescara & PSG both had unbeaten seasons. PSG scored an incredible 152 goals and conceded only 4. PSG won Ligue 1, Coupe De France, Trophee Des Champions and UEFA Champions League. 😦

Senza Attaccante – Playing Style
We will be looking to exact a pass and move style of play. We will by design be taking a high-risk approach by proactively looking to penetrate space in the half-space when in possession. Restricting space when out of possession, we will be using the counter-press approach to apply more pressure on the opposition, with the aim of forcing mistakes.

We will develop attacks carefully by cycling possession. Creating pockets of space by pulling opposition players out of position. We will be making use of a shorter passing game, in particular in the more defensive-minded areas with a view to becoming more penetrative in the attacking areas.

I think having some width is always preferable in every tactic, but would be interested in how well this tactic will do nonetheless.
