Been having fun with a tactic that I created from scratch after studying on some of the more successful tactics out there. Since there are the Tiki-Takas, Klopp's and Conte's versions all round this forum, I decided to go for nostalgia. A tactic that was used by a lot of Italian teams back in the 90s and early 2000s. A tactic that introduced the role of the Trequartista, which spawned great Italian players like Baggio, Zola, Chiesa, Totti & Del Piero.
I'm currently half-way through with Roma (no signings) and so I cannot guarantee it will work for any teams and instant success. I have lost twice thus far and I would say I messed up on it during those matches. You will see why on the screenshots.
Style of Play
No OIs ever used. That's why plug and play. I think I'm more of a Guardiola type of tactician as I believed by denying your opposition the ball is as good a form of defense as it gets. But I'm not overly obsessed with it like him. So I chose Control Mentality as a base instead of creating other versions to adjust to situations. I like the idea of opposition adjusting to me. LoL... Fluidity is low as Italian teams are famed for building attacks from defense by instilling solidarity in shape, ala Catennacio evolved.
Training
Pre-season: General (Fitness Very High) & Match (Tactics Only)
Season: General (Balanced Average) & Match (Tactics Only)
Move one notch to the left on Scheduling and un-tick (Allow rest before match) for both before and during season.
Team-talks
Raikan's or Tylerbode's should work. You can see in the screenshots I messed up the Napoli & Atalanta half-time team talks. So do it properly.
Anyway, enjoy it and if anyone wants to tweak it further be my guest.
