What do I look for when
analysing Attacking Tactics?
Formation as a starting point
Patterns of play
Common movement patterns
Lines of play
Circulation/Penetration/Width/Rotations
Positioning and Uniqueness
Controlling transitions before they happen
The attacking process

Build Up PlayStarting Positions
Shape in possession, normally a clear
indication of which formation is used
Roma 4-3-3 Arsenal 4-2-3-1,
Bayern 4-2-3-1, Chile 3-2-3-2
Look for circulation patterns
Look for something Unique or new
7/25/2019 JAK ANALIZOWA MECZE PN.pdf

Starting Positions
Romas full backs stay slightly deep while the
midfield control the play. Florenzi and Gervinho
stay high on the sides while the full backs are
used as wall players who stay behind the ball in
most cases.
Pjanic controls the 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 midfield
rotations with Di Rossi and Strootman, whorotates with Gervinho on the left side

Starting PositionsBayerns Full Backs Alaba and Rafinha are rarelyas wide as Guardiola used Abidal and Alves
Alaba and Rafinha are pinched and play in half
spaces between the centre and touch lines,specifically to pass straight between widemidfielders and lateral central midfielders andhave a wider outlet.
This position is also for quick defensive transitionsafter the ball is lostless distance (around 10m)to recover to position than from a wider position

Starting PositionsChiles wing backs are very advanced, trying topush forward to force back the full backs,freeing up some space for the lateral centre
back to advance with the ball in possession.Both CFs stay close and only split wide if theAM can break through with a late run, keepingthe CBs narrow with the WBs 1v1 on the side.
The deepest midfielders control possession andtry to find the WBs 1v1 and then support wide.

What can we tell from the formation?
We can tell where the players will reshape to if
possession is won and the ball is passed back
to the defensive line or GK
We can see where players movement patterns
come from
We can see who rotates and where to
We can see if players are in orthodox
positions or not Bayern; Full Backs pinched

Villa and Pedro out side to run diagonal inside

passes from all angles
Alves on right and Abidal or Alba high on left to

Messi plays as a false 9 between the lines and
is unmarked
Iniesta drifts between midfield and attack
7/25/2019 JAK ANALIZOWA MECZE PN.pdf

Barcelona Bowl Attack
The idea was to place 3 or 4 players centrallybetween the lines, to either leave the full backfree, high on the outside to stretch the defensive
line, or for the full back to be picked up and leaveone of the lateral attacking midfielders free on theinside between the lines.
With 6 players high but no CF, they could overload
and penetrate quickly via Messi/Iniesta dribbling& passing or Villa/Pedro running behind thedefence.

Draw pressure and exploit the space behind
Rosicky moves inside when in possession to
play 4v3 in midfield then drift wide to press
Giroud occupies far side CB

Adapting to opposition
tactical change
Liverpool adapted the cover the space with a
deeper defensive midfielder to play 3-4-1-2
instead of 3-3-2-2
Arsenal reacted with placing Ozil and Giroud
on the near side CB to bounce 1-2s and try to
overload the same zone
Rosicky would play deeper to make late runs
or incase the 1-2s were unsuccessful

Transition Management
Borussia Dortmund are the best team in the world attransition managementeach attack is planned, movements
are rehearsed
In the event of transition, players are positioned to counter-
press or get back into an organised 4-4-1-1 or 4-4-2 block Transition Management is shaping the team to be ready
before the event of a likely turnover of possession ie from a
direct vertical attack
When starting a counter attack, the players must still beaware of the possibility of losing possession and must move in
a way that allows the attack to deal with becoming the
defensive team
Normally, a 4-2 or 3-2 block allows for transition coverage

Roma
Totti likes to drop off and play as a false 9 in
the penetration phase, as his pace isnt as
effective as his vision or passing ability
Roma like to play quickly through the lines
with regularly 2 runners ahead of the ball
Always look to penetrate through the back 4
Gervinho is regularly left 1v1 from a switch of
play due to his incredible burst of speed

Barcelona Left side
Iniesta and Alba Rotation
Iniesta starts wide and likes to drift between
the lines or dribble inside
Alba recreates the width on the left
Alba likes to overlap to attack on the blindside
Iniesta likes to play 1-2s and look for diagonals
Iniesta moving inside often overloads 5v3 inthe centre with Messi as a false 9

FC Porto
Porto exploited the 3v2 advantage in central
midfield with the #10 between the lines
If the direct pass wasnt available, a wide
player would tuck in and offer an alternativepass.
Once between the lines, they always had
runners to offer passes behind the defence

Central Winger Run
A run made by a central attacking midfielderinto a wide position, normally marked,creating space in the centre
If unmarked, it leaves a 2v1/3v2 on the side Used commonly by players who like to play in
wide areas but are marked closely by FBs
Can be used just to drag away a DM to leavespace for the far side winger to move inside
Often found via a 3rdman pass unmarked

Playing over a tight defence can be a way tobeat the defensive block
Very difficult to find space as a 1, so often 2 or 3players will need to move to create enough
space to lose a marker and be free Muller makes a run to the front to Koscielny
Pizarro makes a similar run, drawing both CBsnarrow, opening a space

Attacking Processes
The idea of using the ideas of the oppositionagainst them to exploit the spaces left.
This can mean allowing the opponent to press
by holding onto the ball or passing to specificareas to then attack a specific space which may
be left open
Provocation
7/25/2019 JAK ANALIZOWA MECZE PN.pdf
103/201
Provocation
Passing the ball into an area which will triggerthe press from a specific player ie the full back,
resulting in space being left behind the
pressure allowing for a runner to attack thespace behind
Another way of doing this is to continually
place the ball into an area with runners arounda weak opponent and stress him into mistakes

mistakes will be made and the attack will find a
way through to have a chance to score.

Starting Defensive Formation
Teams defend in different shapes;
Narrow, wide and variable blocks
Some teams attack in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 but defend 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 to
provide more organisation in midfield
to protect the back 4
Atletico Madrid
7/25/2019 JAK ANALIZOWA MECZE PN.pdf

Atletico Madrid
Very rigid 4-4-2 block, often 4-4-2-0
Occasionally 4-1-4-1 if the far side DM arcs
round to cover between the lines while a CF
will drop or go wide as the WM tucks in Very, Very Compact on the side of the ball
when possible
Minimal space between the lines available

Man-Man in central midfield 3v3
7/25/2019 JAK ANALIZOWA MECZE PN.pdf
153/201
A lot of teams now play 3v3 in centralmidfield and will mark man-man to stop
teams playing through the centre,
forcing play wide to where they canpress the opposition with the touchline
as an extra defender
I feel that the next evolution will see
more teams using a pentagonal midfield
to counter teams using a diamond

Madrid and Dortmund, offer a pass to
a specific player and trap the player
to be pressed from all angles in anattempt to win the ball back from the
throw in
