I want to know why is this better then traditional 343 diamond.

the double pivots help with build up and easier for a successful rest defense

Great video! I’d be interested to see how this works defending against a 4-3-3 if anyone could show me any clips!

[@The9cproduction]

vertical shape is for more direct plays diagonal shape is for more possession plays❤

[@BaBang-]

Good observation! And with 343 diamond u can do both, it's everything and more

Try putting Bissouma in a box see what happens - he annihilated Arsenal's midfield without much effort
