This is a fantastic attacking tacting which will suit creative, technically gitfted higher rep, teams perfectly (doesnt seem to work with lower teams) its based on 2CB's - 2WB's - 1DM - 2MC's - 2AM's - 1ST 2CB's who hold a deep back line and spray passes along the defence (pique and puyol) 1DM (anchor) who sits just in front of the CB's and covers if the WB's get caught down the wing. (toure) 2WB's (set to automatic, but fitness is essential) these lads attack like wingers right down to the byline but track back and fill a FB role when needed (and if they do get caught up field the DM's there to cover) maxwell and dani alves 2MC's one sits in the middle of the park spraying passes and shooting from distance, the other maes forward runs and through passes. (xavi and inesta) 2AM's who are basically support forwards, and score just as much as the lone striker, but they are more creative and come back for corners. I train my AM's into the striker postion for this role. (messi and henry) 1ST - the target man, ball into feet works best, ibrohimovic works wonders in this position. who needs a flat back four?
