Update
After 1st season the tactic when on a 2 season undefeated run with young players from youth team successfully integrated into 1st team while selling older players and still won everything possible and when on the undefeated run that we did
Now this tactic was developed with AC Milan in 2029 from scratch with an ageing squad who had not won the league for 10 years, so a squad transition was needed but to go on the run we did while going through a transition shows the strength and potential of this tactic.
Foundations of this tactic are
Solid Defence
Passing focus
High Scoring
Entertaining Football
Attacking Football
Solid Defence
The defensive principles for this tactic are to have a high line with enough pace to cover any passes that split our defence
a narrow shape so that we are tight at the back and any attempts will be forced out wide and then dealt with easily as the cross comes in
aggressive pressing but not to the extent we sacrifice are shape, transition and attacking intent
Passing focus
our passing principle's are set out to be in control of the areas we want to be in control of we start from the back and with 2 cb's who's aim is to pass short, a DM anchor who is there to offer support in passing when in control and during counter attacking situations and 2 wbs one wide and one inverted so there is always passing options to have control of the 1st 3rd of the pitch
now the midfield side of the passing consists of (although mentioned in the last paragraph) an anchor DM for possession recycling, always providing an option when player in position is closed down
a deep playing midfielder who acts as the teams quarterback who isn't afraid and is encouraged to try long defence splitting passes either to the bbm who is making a deep run or our wingers cutting in, our striker on the shoulders of the last man or a high wb with the space to cross wide
our bbm is like the heartbeat to the team he is set up to play like Gerrard he is there offering passing options, playing important and defence splitting passes
now that those 3 roles are set out the tactic can now be explained more as stated we are not aiming for a tiki taka pass for the sake of passing ,we're not aiming as having 1000's passes a match we are set up to be in control of matches and the opposition but with the intent to hurt the opposition with risk passing trying to force an error but when we cant push through we have our players in positions to shift to the other side of the pitch or to pass back to restart our attack
High Scoring
as stated the aim is to hurt the opposition so we have our striker set out to stretch there defence and look to get on the end of any killer pass or cross
our bbm will exploit space opened up from running from deep when defenders have tracked our strikers/wingers or wbs
we have 1 inside forward cutting in to attack on the goal 1 inverted winger whos aim is to cut in with the option to go for goal or to set up 3 forward players ahead of him (striker, inside forward and bbm)
if the inital attack doesnt come off our dpl is sitting just behind that attacking 4 (st,if,iw,bbm) and will look to restart our next attack, look for a killer pass or go for a long shot as stated we are not looking to pass the team to death but looking to control the game and kill the opposition with attacking intent and the freedom to try and make something happen
Entertaining Football
the collection of tactical principle's for this tactic create a team that will comfortable have 50to60% possession in matches, majority of matches will be 700+ attacking from being in control or from counter attacking transitions and 4 main players looking to directly be involved either scoring the goals that will hurt the opposition or assisting and making space for either other attacking players or players running deep.
Attacking Football
with how the team is set up the team massively outscored the rest of the league with
138 goals the next team had a total of 106(3rd) and 90 (2nd)
a goal difference of 122 compared to 79 (3rd) 64 (2nd)
goals against was also only 14 compared to 26 (2nd) and 27 (3rd)
and a 100+ match unbeaten streak over 3 seasons with an ageing ac milan team in 2030 going through a transition period
