Tactics:
Attack:
- Attack from the flanks with Breitner sometimes joining in on either flank.
- Best and Boniek sometimes switch flanks during the game.
- Quick attacks and quick transitions with the skill of players supporting this.
- Romario constantly makes runs into the box and looks to score.
- Bergkamp playing a free supporting role allowing Romario to either play ahead of him or around him.
Defence:
- Makelele is a constant shield for the back 4 and is ably supported by Breitner who is more box-to-box.
- Wingers/WFs drop back to support their fullback.
- Will operate as two banks of 4 when defending.
Peaks:
Best - late 60s
Facchetti - early 70s
Breitner - late 70s
Boniek - early 80s
Bezsonov - late 80s
Romario - early 90s
Bergkamp - late 90s
Ayala - early 00s
Makelele - late 00s
Reina - early 10s
Alderweireld - late 10s

General_Elegancia Tactics
My team will play in a 3-5-2/3-4-1-2 formation with a normal or deep line. We will probably sit deep and then hit them effectively on the counter. My team will transform into a very organized 5-3-2, which is suited well to sit back and hit on the counter.
Defensive: Maldini and Carvalho were two-center backs who have the great ability to cover wide areas. They were quick enough to cover the space, had great tackling ability both standing and sliding and were active enough to anticipate opposition movements. Maldini has been a gold standard for LCB/CB hybrid for almost 25 years, while I suspect Carvalho also could play this role at the elite level.
Van Dijk will be more of a covering center back in the middle. He's known for his organizing prowess, aerial ability, and passing ability. He will be my creator and passer in the deep area. All of my defenders(CB) are very comfortable and calm on the ball. They will perform great units with excellent communication, vocal presence, and teamwork ability.
Wing-backs: Brehme and Jardine are my choices as wingbacks. They are one of the most important positions in this formation. Both are mainly responsible for giving my team width. Both provide solid attacking and defending contributions, constantly running up and down the pitch, have great crossing ability, and are very fit and disciplined.
Midfielders: Gilberto Silva and Pirri form a very formidable and trustable pivot in midfield. Gilberto Silva will be a more defensive-minded player, he will bring safety and stability to our team with his great positional sense and reading of the game. Pirri will play as more of a box-to-box midfielder, who contributes in both phases ( attacking and defending). Platini is the best player on my team, he had experienced playing in counter-attacking set-ups many many times at Juventus in the 1980s. He will be my main playmaker who has freedom in the attacking phase and will provide world-class playmaking, passing, and scoring skills. He also had enough defensive work rate which is always underrated by fans.
Forwards: Stoichkov and Cavani have a phenomenal work rate, at their best both are fast as hell too ( which is considered important since my team has Platini). It's a combination of the number 9 and the second striker. I don't think I need to describe Stoichkov that much, since he's a very household name. Cavani during the early 2010s was a quick, strong, intelligent movement off the ball, a great header, a tireless worker, and could create space for other teammates. In this game, I think Cavani will give a lot of benefits to Platini, who is the best in terms of running and ghosting into the penalty box with great timing to score( a bit similar to Rossi and Platini). Cavani was/is also very comfortable in the wide-areas too.
