You're not wrong.

But Diniz can take the credit because he's the one doing it having caught the eye of most people, thus serving as a reference point.

They press brilliantly but much focus has been placed on their attack. It's very difficult getting videos on defensive tactics.

Yes, this approach looks like it takes inspiration from how many of us started playing football/ futsal for fun. I remember developing chemistry with team mates in small sided games. You develop game intelligence and instinctive tactics ( real time) by clocking time playing together and against various opposition.

One of the best product adds, blended with the subject wonderfully! Great job 👍

Should also mention that to cover the defensive weaknesses they sometimes play a 343, so when Blind pushes up there is still 2 CBs to cover for the counter.

Oooooh there is a stadium now

What would be your opinion on Herrera's role in Girona's tactical setup? In our national team, he plays as box to box center midfielder, but from your analysis it seems that in his club he also helps more with the build up

Such interesting tactics, hopefully can be replicated in FM.

Take a look at Fluminense - Brazilian team that will face Man City this week. They play something similar, with "no fixed structure".

Im your big fan from Kenya

#Girona!

Please make a video on 3-2-3-2 formation both explaining it defensively and attackingly please explain it only you are the one who can do this.

I really enjoy creative approaches to the game. In the U.S. there is a fear of doing anything different, from what I havr seen at least. People have a hard time getting my past whatever dogma happens to be populat at a larticulwr moment.

Just almost like the Arsenal's formation and style. And most of the time, we have only 2 CB at the back close the middle of the pitch. At the starting line. The rest inside the opponent's half third half of the pitch. But sadly we don't have good or clinical finisher in front of goal.

Girona's finishing in the top 4...at worst top 6. Nice analysis sir, I'm definitely incorporating this style to my School's team... sometimes better defence is the tactical offence (which creates more chances and goals).

Good explanation! Just watched Girona vs Bilbao, ended 1-1. High energy match up with both teams esp aggressive in first ten mins

It will be very difficult to make atleast one easy pass if your opponent is 433 the offside line is high if girona play the 3-3- 4, difficult for the wingers to link up or to continue play. However only if there is a switch in the other flank to explore the biggest space like two forwards close to each other or midfielders came closer to a tackle. Madrid are playing a better game with short passes and running all together

Welcome back the Football of the time of Cholera. 50 years with constant changing of tactics, only to go back to basic. Just like the characters in Love of the time of Cholera by Marquez.

Spain produces the best tactical managers at the moment.

They will end up surely in the top 3.

It's true street football I've played so much and I saw it with pep and girona

This explains the experimentation that is going on in Chelsea. Colwill is the left back, Chillwell is the attacking winger although Enzo plays further up front, I don't particularly like it as its not working and seems like a waste of potential with the current Chelsea squad. It'll work with experienced players who are willing to try new things the way Victor Moses was successfully transitioned into a wing back or Sergio Ramos was transitioned into a center back but not with young lads trying to find their feet.

Really this allows you to put the true best 10 players out on the field instead of having multiple players at same position forcing them to put some on the bench
