ABERDEEN 433 GEGENPRESS

My tactic used in my Aberdeen save. The save is going incredibly well, with us making it into the UCL knockout stages last season and consistently finishing 2nd and challenging Celtic for the title. The idea of the tactic is to create overloads in the midfield using inverted wing-backs, giving us the ability to pass rings around most opponents. Defensively we're a bit suspect but that's a trade-off you expect when using such attacking roles. I try to make up for this by using a half-back in defensive midfield who will drop very deep, help with recycling possession and occasionally serve as an auxiliary centre-half. In attack, I keep it fluid with all players told to roam from their assigned positions. the combination of the double Mezzala in midfield and wingers cutting inside often makes us too much to handle for many opposition teams. I'm happy with the tactic but I still constantly second-guess myself and look for ways to improve and get the most out of my players.
