modern 4 at the back is practically two defenders (and will form the 2-3 offensive shape), its changing now with hybrid cb/fb starting to gain popularity but fullbacks in the 00s until the 10s, especially with the top teams, were more valued for their offensive contributions than their defensive ability, so a back three is usually seen as a more defensive formation because they use three center backs who were often expected more to defend than attack, especially if it used two wingbacks than wingers. but now its again changing as golakeepers and center backs is now also expected to contribute in build-up play, with players like lisandro and calafiori gaining popularity for their on the ball abilities.
My friend seems confused. B04 never builds up like that. Grimaldo will always drop down next to 3 CBs to form a back 4 to build up. Frimpong will be pushed up like a winger.
Correct, my friend, but as we mentioned at 1:00, we didn't specifically talk about Bayer Leverkusen, but about general principles. As for the possibility of switching to back 4, we considered that possibility at 5:18 (providing context earlier in that part). Thanks for the contribuition, Best regards.
This video starts from a wrong assumption. First of all: Wirtz and Hofman aren’t wingers. They play the best in the center of the field. Second: the title is also bullish cause they just keep the center of the pitch closed with 3 defenders and 2 defensive midfielders. It’s not that attacking as it looks and the players in front are very good in detecting space and have above average speed and technique to make those runs. It’s better to run into a space than already standing there. Also hoffman and wirtz are great in supporting the wingbacks cause most teams who play like this have wingers who are mediocre on the ball and don’t have supportive attacking players in the midfield. Most importantly: there is a difference between picking a formation and executing a formation. Cause I see a lot of teams who say they play a certain formation but execute it different. In theory a 3-5-2 can be more defending than a 4-4-2.
Thanks for the contribution, friend. But, as stated at 1:00, the video is not specifically about Leverkusen. B04 is mentioned as an example and the intention was not to make an in-depth analysis of it.
As for Hoffman and Wirtz, they are mentioned briefly precisely because of their ability to play inside. As for being mentioned as wingers, we are referring only to the position they occupy, not to the role they play, which, as mentioned, is much more about playing inside.
@@ThinkingAboutFootballBut he's right either way. Formations speak little about how offensive a team is. You can park the bus with a 4-3-3 and park the bus with a 3-3-4 because it just depends on the mentality of the tactic and roles of the players. Also most formations we know are fluidly played throughout games. Formation structure is mostly consistent and relevant when it comes to defense which often is either a 4-4-2 or 5-4-1 structure. As for the rest? Very little unless you're a Guardiola or Arteta. Xabi is offensively very fluid, more comparable to Zidane and Ancelotti.
What if the opposition doesn't press the defenders? This tact relies on taking advantage of the space when the opposition team presses the ball but what happens if the sit in a tight block?
@kevshelby1679 That's why they lost the Europa League final because Atalanta sat in a low block and countered them in the wide areas as Leverkusen pushed the wing backs high to provide width. There is no perfect formation in football as it is always 11 vs 11
This is kind of what England did in the Euro’s. Chose not to press high and sit and block the passing channels. Not the prettiest and is pretty defensive, but it was effective.
Because having less defense means having more offence?
😂😂😂

A back three is usually 3 center backs and 2 wingbacks.

The algorithm put your video on my feed, and I loved it! Very insightful, keep up the good work mate
Thank you! Let's keep producing
Wow this is the best explanation of 3 def formation. Nice video with movement. Thanks.
Great video! You're quickly becoming my go-to channel for tactics
Very nice and simple explanation. Easy to follow up.
This is best video you have made me to enjoy it
Very well explained. 👍👍
Thank you!
Sabi Alonso is crazy
Xabi made midfield zone very thick for transitions, the only gaps for opponent to get through are flank zone

This tactics made you invincible but not win the Europa League final

you are clueless if you think its self explanatory

It’s the video entirely done with Chat GPT?

In the Bundesliga even the smaller teams press you..

Last season yes. This not…the teams will adapt and it is easier to get 1 vs 1 situations gains a 3 defender team

Because it’s less then 4…

do you think a 3331 works or its dumb
I think it could be valid. It also depends on the mechanisms.
@@ThinkingAboutFootball what about 32311
Stop stealing other people's videos, bro.
This is the worst named topic to make a person watch a video
You don’t understand football or maths. 3 defenders is 1 less, not 1 more than a conventional set up
What kind of stupid question is that???
Well, it makes sense, having more defenders usually means less attack but in this case that’s actually not the case
i disagree with everything.
