This is very well understood because you described the patterns and the did animate it. I really like it. I would like to see more attacking variations as well as defense variations for 4 3 3 formation.

Nice videos. I learn a lot from them. Can you make a video about how to play with high pressure in 4-3-3 formation?

Yes I can do a video like that. Currently I am working on other request but we can see a video like that in a month or so. Thank you for your request and also for your support! Coach Luis Laureano La Vida Fútbol

Good job sir

[@LaVidaFutbol]

Thank you.

[@juliewilson9784]

Thank you for the video, on your videos you have the number 5 as your right center back, and the number 4 as your left center back, on the US Soccer learning center website it has those two switched with the number 4 as the right center back, and the 5 as the left center back?

[@LaVidaFutbol]

Hi and thank you for your comment/question. In modern football it is most important to identify that those two are center backs. It is all based on evolution, I am using the UEFA course numbering system. Once upon a time, the #5 was a sweeper or a Libero with the #4 as a stopper or center back. The #5 would step in between the CB and one of the outside defenders and that could have been to the left or the right of the #4. Later, the sweeper got in in line with the 2nd line of defense to create a back line of 4. So, they are now both called center backs but the #5 evolved from being a Libero to a CB. Thanks again for your comment and thank you for your support! Coach Luis Laureano La Vida Fútbol

[@hadifelani]

In 1:17 and 1:39, Is it fine to assume that these formation variants would shift into either 3-4-2-1 or 3-4-3 when attacking? The CDM would stay behind while the fullbacks are advancing so it would make a shape of 3 backs.

[@LaVidaFutbol]

Hi and thank you for your question. Yes, it is possible to adapt and shift into those formations. It is much easier to change into the 343 of course because it is one player dropping back and the FB pushing up but would also be possible to do that and have the outside forwards drop to create space on the corners. The 3421 would allow the FB to push up high and be part of the attack. The 433 can adapt into many different formations offensively. Thank you for your support! Coach Luis Laureano La Vida Fútbol

[@BornAgainFitness]

Coach, any suggestions on structuring a training session to intentionally get the 3 or 2 to make runs to create an overload in the wide area?

[@LaVidaFutbol]

Hi again, yes I would use a small sided games in which one side has two small goals (on the wings) and the other side has a full sized goal. The team that you want to improve should outnumber the opponents (e.g. 4v5, 5v6, 5,7, etc.). This would give your polayers the confidence to go up to assist on the attack and score on the small goals on each of the wings. Later you can make even numbers once you see that your #2 and #3 are able to transition quickly and are confident enough to go up and help. Was this clear for you? If not, please let me know. I can make a video on this exercise for you.

[@LaVidaFutbol]

I made this small sided game video for you. Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/morKomiqrqqaaq8 I know it took a while and for that I apologize and I hope it can still help you out. Cheers!

[@tofusmash2735]

Is there a high scoring formation ?

[@itsvain]

Quick questions are these plays by design? Like are they drawn up by a coach and then called from the sideline? Or is this just normal things according to what the defense is showing?

[@LaVidaFutbol]

The plays are designed and trained during training. We call them attacking patterns. The plays are all based on smaller actions that ultimately leads to multiple passing interactions, thus the name passing patterns. They are only ideas and its during training where the coach must give tips as to which one to use. You can train these without pressure or defenders but that would mainly be to work on passing technique and timing the runs. I hope that answers your question. If you have any other questions feel free to ask, I would be happy to answer any more questions. Thanks for your support! Coach Luis Laureano La Vida Fútbol

[@mantorras7752]

Would the 8 be the same type of player as the 10?

[@LaVidaFutbol]

If that's what you have then yes. The understanding between these two players is important. Let's say for example that the two players are both offensive minded, this can become a problem if they both go up the pitch and dont return to cover. So, ideally you have players that compliment each other and understand the nature of moving up and going down as a team. I hope that answers your question, if not then just let me know what it is that I can clarify. Thank you for your support! Coach Luis Laureano La Vida Fútbol

Nice. How can i download it

[@LaVidaFutbol]

What do you mean?

[@asarekingsley3802]

Is there any drills to support that

[@LaVidaFutbol]

Yes, you can organize these patterns into training drills but I unfortunately did not do it. I plan to do this in the future. For now, I do no have them.

[@MarcellusAugustusGermanicus]

Good video, but i think you should have focused more on the "Steil-Klatsch Prinzip" as we call it in Germany and should have elaborated more onto that point. That's in my opinion easier than to explain different individual situations. You called it a wall-pass in this video, which is not explaining it well enough. Most of the time it's just a lay-off, not even a pass. Simple example, the 6 in a 433 with a pivot passes it vertically to the striker that drops into midfield, he most often takes the pace out of the ball and lays it off to one of the 2 central midfielders, then a 3rd man runner gets the ball from the cm. That pattern happens all over the pitch, same with CB to a CM, lay-off to the CDM and 3rd man runner gets the ball. The "Steil-Klatsch Prinzip" is a very important principle of german football, cause it's very vertical, line breaking and progresses the play with movement. There's "Steil-Klatsch-Tief", "Steil-Klatsch-Diagonal", "Steil-Klatsch-Hoch" etc., basically all the different patterns you tried to explain, but all follows the "Steil-Klatsch" principle as a whole. I think it's easier to explain the "Steil-Klatsch Prinzip" and to get a grasp of it than it is to memorize all those different individual situations. Good work tho and props to you.

[@LaVidaFutbol]

First of all, thank you for your response. Yes, I am familiar with the concept but to be honest I did not know the name of the concept, so thank you for that. Yes, it would have been easier to say that was the point but I also like to give individual situations, simply because I can add my commentary along the way. There are times in which the pass is more of a layoff, drop off, or even a dish but those to me are all types of passes. So, I hope you enjoyed the video and once again thank you for your support. Is there video topic you would like for me to do? Cheers, Coach Luis La Vida Fútbol

[@admiregmatake3440]

2 7 and 10 all going forward,? No cover ? Was thinking in 4 3 3 when 2 overlap 7 or 10 has to drop, stay! This is very aggressive attacking. No cover? Can anyone help or explain plse my tactic.

[@LaVidaFutbol]

Hi and thank you for your comment and question. Yes this is very aggressive but ultimately that is the plan when using the 433. You defend by attacking, meaning you defend less if you have the ball and if you are using the 433 then you should have players that are technical and skilled enough to maintain possession. On top of that, the players should have tactical understanding of the game and learn from the situations. As a coach, if your tactics work, you keep using them and if they don't then you adjust. The FB overlapping or underlapping the winger does not alway automatically require the CAM to drop back and there is no need if you have two other CM's behind to support should the ball be lost. Furthermore, you have two CBs and potentially the other FB staying back to help the CBs or CDMs, depending on how far back they drop, which would be determined by the number of players the opponents keep up top. So, you are not wrong but this would be the case when we are losing the ball and the opponents expose us for our mistakes. I hope this answers your question and thanks for your support! Cheers!
