This is Catenacciofm2013 patch 13.3.3
View attachment 366303
Little background story about this tactic
If you are part of the football circle then you have probably heard of the word catenaccio which means “dead-bolt” or “lock” in literal terms but it is interpreted as a very bad word referring to Italian football from the ‘60s and ‘70s that was negative at best. There are some tactical lessons to be learned from Catenaccio and any soccer coach should take these into consideration. However, Catenaccio can be a very good strategy to use for defense when it is correctly performed. In fact, the result of implementing Catenaccio may be one of the very best defensive strategies that exist in football. There is of course one good reason why Catenaccio isn’t liked by many soccer fans and that is as simple as the strategy keeps the other team from scoring.
History of the formation
Catenaccio was supported primarily by Helenio Herrera, an Argentinean trainer who was also the coach of Italian Serie A side Inter Milan back in the ‘60s. Herrera used Catenaccio to win two European Cups and four Serie A titles, which is proof positive that the system worked wonders. Of course, by this point you may be wondering how Catenaccio is implemented. Basically, Catenaccio uses a formation of 1-3-3-3 which is considerably more stable and provides more defense to the goal. The formation has one sweeper (1), three marking defenders (3), three midfielders (3) and finally three attackers (3) that make up the 1-3-3-3 formation. Occasionally Herrera would use four marking defenders and a sweeper that would defend the area between the defensive line and the goalkeeper. He would cover any attackers, pick up loose balls, as well as move the ball from the defense area to midfield where he could then attack. The Italians were popular for Catenaccio and this defensive strategy. However, the English clubs were using a different strategy. They were playing with a 3-2-5 formation that was the old “WM” style and it really did not have a chance when compared to the Italian Catenaccio.
With version ive gave it a modern out look more narrow play instead of the wide version
