How Different Managers Use the 3-4-2-1 | 3-4-2-1 Tactics Explained | Strengths & Weaknesses

3-4-2-1 is a fantastic formation if executed well. I love ur content man. SIMPLE AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND. CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT VIDEO

Can you do a video on what is lacking in today's games, something you miss a lot. Also about the offside rule.

Awesome to watch this joyful and meaningful Channel.

I like watching teams plays 4-3-3 better. I feel like a defensive 4-2-3-1 forces teams in attack to use crosses which is boring to watch

3-2-3-1

Great analysis.

My favourite formation. In my version, one of the inside forwards play as a false nine, always coming to the midfield to dictate play. The 2 CMs will sit deep but occasionally 1 joining the attack if necessary. Their main job is to cut out opposition attacks through the middle and also cover the flanks if the WBs don't retreat early. The WBs always wide to maintain the width. The CF looking to run behind the defenders for those through ball. Anytime a cross goes into the box, at least 4 players would be in the box plus one of the CMs just outside the box.

This formation puts a lot of responsibility on wing backs & requires perfect stamina, speed & tactical awareness…I can understand why 4231 is much easier to implement when they have slower players

someone that executes this tactic perfectly is Oliver Glasner of Eintracht Frankfurt, he has had great success with it over in the bundesliga and champions league.

I create a new position called advanced wingback just like the wingback they must support both offense and defense when playing defense they can cover a space or steal the ball when playing offense when they had the ball they must pass to anyone in their team who is wide open if they don't had the ball and the person with the ball is being marked they can try to find spaces so the person with the ball can pass to it or pass to anyone one else if they want to when they are in the final third they had two options options number one either score a goal or create space for wingers or strikers if all the player in your teammate is being marked including you than try your best to dribble and score a goal.

Arteta's Arsenal 5-5 analysis when ?

The 3-4-2-1 won me my first league coaching

pretty sure that in xavi's barcelona the wingers are the ones staying wide, the midfielders operating half spaces and the fullbacks cut inside

Hi, great video as always.
Which formation works best against low blocks while being strong against counter attacks?

Nice! In Fifa I once "invented“ a very similar formation (my central forwards became cams and the cms dropped to become cdms) and it was hugely successful because in in Fifa midfielders simply refrain from any defensive action, so on the flanks I was always 2 v 1 against the fullback

Glasner at Frankfurt? I'm surprised he is not mentioned on this list!

I always use this formation when playing fifa 😆

Can you do a video on the back 5 , Great job man I love the videos

city have started to use this recently and have really changed the way this is played

I love these types of videos ❤️📊📈

You need to do a video 📹 why Chelsea a struggle dont tell me because of injuries please. Because I don't see a clear idea in how he want his team to play with and without the ball. Don't see effort 😕 help me please 🙂

Carlos Bilardo also used 3-5-2 in Mexico 86 succesfully
There is a very good video of him explaining the stopper role

Please, can you do 3-5-2 formation?

Such different methods! For example, Gasperini uses it to win while Potter uses it to lose.

😂😂😂It's funny how he said the 3-4-2-1 has 1 goalkeeper, 3 centreba... Like bro which formation has more than 1

Information great

Van gaal tactic since 2014

Does anyone know a good 9v9 precursor for this I’m wanted to to teach this before my team goes u13 next year

PSG 3-5-2 is a disaster
It could be a better formation if they had more muscles in the middle like Casemiro, Kante , Partey, Rodri ..

I like the idea of making a solid back 5 when defending with wingers that can go up and down the pitch more like a 5-2-3

Incredible video, dealt with all important parts of the 3-4-2-1 and the visuals are very clear and useful!

תודה!

I use the 3 - 4 - 2 - 1, but i have one of the cm moving down as a centerback when we defend, and one of the IF covering the space in the middle, essentially creating a 4 - 4 - 2. Better for the wingbacks stamina, but you give up a little more safety by ditching the back 5.

Sorry, but you lost me when you said Donnarumma has great short and long passes.))

Bayern Leverkusen is hammering this formation so hard and they have intelligent players too

Bro really said one goalkeeper. Soccer is played with two goalkeepers and football is played with only one. 🤣

"The 3 4 2 1 futures 1 goalkeeper"

jag har sett klart den den va jätte bra jag önska jag va charlie för du fallafel träfa han

jag lovar du kan fråga någon om filmen och jag kommer veta och kan vi spela jag heter KFC NoDe

Great video.
ps Hateboer is pronounced like Hatebur where the U is like the U in the italian word Tutti

CF Montréal has been playing this formation for a few years now. I just wish Saputo wasn’t so cheap and buy some better quality players. Wilfried Nancy also uses this formation for Columbus Crew

An underrated team using this is Crystal palace. Eze and Olise as inside forwards always cause problems for oppositions

357

Palace is currently using this. We'll qualify for European football this season

Vittorio Pozzo displayed an ancestral 433, not 343, also called WW, in opposition to Chapman's MW

Great video!

HI SHUEY👋🏽👋🏽

Brazil used this formation to win 2002 FIFA World cup

Excellent video. Brilliantly explained.

Great video 👏👏⚽️
