TEAM MJJ/Viva
General Tactics:
Formation - 4-3-3, a side that can easily transition between playing counter-attacking football and retaining the possession to kill the game. In midfield, we have de stefano, edwards and blanchflower who will control most games and the magic of best and garrincha out wide. This is futher emphasized by having Passarella and Scirea at the back which will help in quick counter attacks or keeping possession.
Our team will rotate between playing possession/risk-less football to create opportunities and look to quickly release best/garrincha on the wings and counter attack. A strong dominant, with an extremely good work-rate, midfield will help in the former as our midfield trio will ensure we have the majority of the ball while limiting the chances of the opposition to score when best/garrincha are running at the ball.
De Stefano will have a free (but defensively responsible) role and will be the chief playmaker of the side, utilizing the likes of best/garrincha/passarella/scirea as he see fits. We will be playing a mobile front four with no fixed position to exploit the space left by our opposition the best we can.
Defensive Tactics - By looking to retain possession and keeping shape when either of the wingers are attacking, we will look to limit the scoring opportunities the opposition gets.
Key Points
- I expect our opposition to play a high pressing style to counter the likes of de stefano,passarella,scirea as either one of the trio can control the game if they have sufficient time and space. This will open up space to counter and you cant pick two better wingers than best/garrincha to exploit that.
- While both midfield are probably on par, I believe we are better in attack and henry/robben/jairzinho arent the ideal trio to press our defenders. Scirea vs Henry will be a big mismatch in our favor and the quality of our forwards and defense will make the difference over 90 minutes.
OVERVIEW:
- Balanced team with numerous avenues of attack.
- High-energy box-to-box midfielders with outstanding defensive qualities and power and drive going forward.
- Rock-solid, highly athletic defence in front of a man-mountain of a goalkeeper.
- Prolific goalscorers in every position in attack
My team will play a high energy counter-attacking style in a 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 formation.
The strength and physicality of Sandor Kocsis spearheads my side, with his goal hanging presence and finishing ability keeping the opposition defenders on their toes. While his hold up play and ability in the air will be crucial in helping to alleviate pressure on my midfield and defence. Behind him lurk a trio of fast, technically gifted attackers capable of going for goal on their own or setting up their teammates.
Davids and Keane will play box-to-box midfield roles, using their stamina and ball-winning ability to screen the defence and break up play in the middle of the pitch, while their dynamism and ability to carry the ball forward will aid in creating quick transitions from defence to attack.
Well balanced defence with plenty of physicality, pace and composure on the ball, with Zmuda dropped for a more complimentary parntership of Jaap Stam and Rio Ferdinand. Facchetti once again has license to get forward when he can, being well covered by Edgar Davids and Stam, while Thuram remains in a more defensive RB role with Jairzinho providing the majority of the width on the right hand side.
SUBS: Wayne ROONEY, Neymar, Arjen ROBBEN, Wladyslaw ZMUDA, David DE GEA
