In the match against Fiorentina, they scored 3 goals in 10minutes thanks to their good ball possession during 2nd half. You can see here the danger of losing ball possession to an opponent who has strong attacking force. Those matches I didn't give details about ball possession are all above 50%. H Milan vs B.Munich: Draw 1-1 (ball possession 40%)Ī Milan vs Fiorentina: Draw 3-3 (Scored 3-0 before HT, ball possession 43%) H Italy vs Cameroon: Draw 2-2 (being scored first, then being equalized, ball possession 45%) One problem about this tactic is that it gives too much ball possession to opponent.Ī Milan vs Torino: Win 5-1 (ball possession 38%) I'm currently on a 68 match unbeaten run too. This season I've played 17, scored 62, conceded 6. Well Im going to stick to the way I play. Hmm, I understand what you mean, but when you're dealing with world-class players, isn't it better to leave them to play how they play best? I thought it'd be better to leave CF at 0 if it's a mid-table team or something. In swinging crosses from the left if the guy is right footed can lead to a goal more easily.
īut it's more dangerous to show wingers inside rather than down the wing if it's someone like J.Cole. My creative players such as Aimar, Bresciano & Karimi still get plenty of assists & set up the play well. In a tactic like this that is unusual in shape & opposition instructions so key I think it's better to leave them at 0. The idea behind no CF is that players do exactly what you tell them.
It seems to be working in as much as I dont concede from crosses. I wondered about showing to weaker foot but maybe it's more important to show wingers inside rather than just choosing their weaker foot. Is it bes to leave it at little creative freedom?Īlso, is anyne using a targetman and playmaker? I use Adebayor as TM and Fabregas as PM. it wouldn't be wise to show Joe Cole onto his right foot when he plays on the left wing.ĭoes everyone leave the creative freedom of th players at 0 notches? I have players like Fabregas, Iniesta, Messi etc so I usually set theirs high, and Adebayors at the middle. I always show them onto their weakest foot.
