| 4-3-3 when in attack and 4-5-1 when we lose the ball.
Basically the front three (e.g. Nani, Rooney, Ronaldo) will be playing as attackers
but when we lose the ball nani and Ronaldo would drop back and consolidate
the midfield and give it extra protection. Then when we regain the ball they are
usually seen sprinting up the wings to launch rapid counter attacks. The main
benefit we have in attack is the fact that all of our forward players are versatile
and can play anywhere across the front line and change positions during the
game, making them almost impossible to man mark.
Passing is usually short and direct, but with Scholes or Carrick in the team, long
accurate balls are used often too. And we usually have a player like Hargreaves
playing a defensive midfield role to break up any potential attacks from midfield.
Anderson and Carrick play well in this position too.
Defensively we have Rio who has the positional
sense to be in the right place at the right time, coupled with his pace to regain
a few yards if he makes a mistake. Next to him is Vidic who I see as kind of a
sweeper. Basically he mops up anything that Rio might miss and he is also
awesome in the air.
We have two attacking full backs in Brown and Evra, defensively solid but also can
be relied upon to join in the attacking effort when needed, Evra more than Brown. |
