Defending with two front players

Organisation: Defending with CF and AM

Explanation:


To defend with the front two in the 4-2-3-1 formation, the CF and AM will press the CBs, and the wide midfielders will cut inside to help with the press. Meanwhile, the DM will move up to cover the middle area. This shift in defensive strategy effectively transforms the formation into a 4-4-2, with the team aiming to create a compact shape to prevent any dangerous counter-attacks.

This formation is quite solid defensively, as it allows up to four players to be available to stop any dangerous counter-attacks. Additionally, the formation is effective in pressing from the front when attempting to regain possession, with the front two leading the charge to disrupt the opponent's build-up play.

Organisation:Defending with a lone Striker

Explanation:

When defending with a lone striker, the team can shift into a 4-5-1 formation, creating a triangular shape in midfield to prevent any balls from entering the center of the pitch. The formation's advantage lies in the number of central players it employs. The three midfielders force opposing teams to play out wide and attempt to score from crosses. The two DMs, if positioned correctly, can block any ball from entering the half-spaces. The midfield's compactness makes it challenging for opposing players to have enough time on the ball.
