Thanks rolling this formation out to my house league team. Great summary

reasons why you stay compact and stop team from having space to work 1v1 is because a pass more than 45 yards takes a lot of time to execute. aslong as you have 1 on the ball keeping the attacker to his one side and not giving up the middle you are ok to guard 35 yards with 25 yards height in order to trap attacker to the sidelines. the better your shape and analysis, the better results you will get from your squad because you will put them in situations that they can succeed in by taking advantage of others mistakes. instead of relying solely on individual speed, skills, workrate of the individual to create opportunities

you want to make specific shapes on any situation. kickoff triangles or rombus, in attack you want to create overlapping runs and overload areas on the pitch creating 2v1, 3v2 4v3

I have a problem in the band, the players get tired very fast and the CF and ST always are so so together, and is a problem score. 5-4-1 (diamond). Conte says "make pauses" I will try it.

can you share what software did you sue to do this presentation?

[@manuel21863]

if the team you are facing doesn't stay in a shape to create gaps then they are a bad team. if you don't hold a specific shape while using compact zonal defending than you solely relying on skill/workrate of your squad. leaving the rest to chance alone

Why this formation isn't popular?

[@manuel21863]

with of most pitches are 60-75 yards. you can't defend it all

[@isasfootballcorner7830]

Some of the number positions are wrong you got 7 as a 9 a 10 as a 7

[@manuel21863]

the kick-off is bad
