What football formations are particularly popular in world football?

The development of football is changing with each passing day, and the competition between the two teams of 22 people on the court is not a simple positional counterpoint. The word formation is often used in football terminology, and how the head coach makes reasonable tactical arrangements for his own 1 1 people has also become the embodiment of strategic planning and winning thousands of miles. Formation is often the most direct embodiment of a team's tactical concept and tactics. What formation is adopted determines the final result of the game to a certain extent. Although the formation is sometimes fixed, the coach can flexibly change the formation according to the ever-changing changes on the field, which often becomes the key to the team's victory. Numerous coaches with stunts are tactical masters, such as Ancelotti, Mourinho, Guardiola, Bosco and other famous coaches have their own hobbies and are good at formation play. Today's football formations are used in a variety of ways, and ten common formations that are well known to the world are deeply analyzed. 5-4- 1

The tactical concept of this defensive formation is self-evident, and the most memorable one is Costa Rica in the World Cup in Brazil. Relying on this formation, the North American team eliminated the traditional giants Italy and England, and staged a dark horse myth of reaching the quarter-finals. 5-4- 1 highlights the coverage area of defense, and five defenders ensure the hardness and fighting ability of the middle defense. At the same time, the two wingers in the midfield participate more in assisting the full-back defense and give full play to the defensive power. Generally speaking, teams adopting this formation almost always give up their own attacks, tie up fences and strive for small losses, which is the tactical guiding ideology of their head coaches. 3-5-2

This formation is an enhanced version of the 5-4- 1 formation. In 2002, Brazil finally won the RMB in Yokohama with this formation change. Today, Juventus and the Italian national team are also advocates of this formation. The three defenders are close to each other in the defensive distance, and cooperate to block the delivery point of the attacking player and the passing route of the threatening ball. On the two wings, the full-back and the avant-garde have enough space to change their positions freely, while the defensive players in the midfield can disperse the attack points through the fast break of the two wings and increase the continuous offensive firepower for the two strikers in the front line. The core point of 3-5-2 is to liberate the sidewalk and form a sidewalk attack and defense corridor;

This is the most aggressive formation arrangement, but there are also self-evident defensive loopholes. In this world of attacking football, 3-4-3 tactics can easily win the praise of neutral fans. This formation not only emphasizes the assists of the flank, but also emphasizes the aggressiveness of the midfield. Because the defenders on the defensive line are at a disadvantage, 3-4-3 oppresses the opponent and exposes his defense line to the opponent's fire. The offensive line in the frontcourt is usually headed by a striker, and the other two wingers play offensive expertise in the frontcourt. 4-4- 1- 1

This formation is a classic tactical template for defensive counterattack. The four defenders on the defensive line are lined up in a row, and the defensive area between areas is expanded as much as possible. Generally, the midfield needs to be close to two central defenders to participate in the task of coordinated defense, while keeping the depth of the wings wide, so as to make full use of the width of the field in the counterattack. The main striker tries to resist the last line of defense of the opponent as much as possible to maintain the offensive strength of the counterattack. The front waist or shadow striker lurking behind the striker often becomes the key part of the team. This formation is a classic counterattack, because when the opponent's attack is broken, the defender or defensive midfielder will quickly divide the ball into two wings after getting the ball, and then cooperate with the front waist to launch a sudden counterattack to the opponent's hinterland. Lippi was familiar with this formation when Italy won the World Cup in Berlin. The appearance of 4-4- 1- 1 is a tactical innovation in the history of football, which directly gave birth to 4-4-2 formation and a more balanced 4-2-3- 1 formation. 4-4-2

The 4-4-2 formation should be one of the most common and powerful formations in world football. While maintaining the balance between attack and defense, sharp counterattack and extremely aggressive attack are vividly reflected in this formation. At the time of seven superstars, Real Madrid used 4-4-2 to bring superstar style and invincibility to the extreme. Two midfielders are matched with two avant-garde, and the distance between midfielders is generally very close, which is beneficial to the penetration and transmission between regions. Let's call this 4-4-2 traditional array, because the diamond 4-4-2 has become popular with continuous innovation. 4-4-2 (diamond)

Diamond 4-4-2 is a brand-new football style. The two full-backs were so close that they almost became midfielders. Another well-known name of this formation is Christmas tree formation, and Milan, which has collected four numbers 10, is the most typical one. The key of Diamond 4-4-2 lies in the high level of ball control of midfielders, so as to establish the advantage of midfielders by controlling the ball as much as possible. The disadvantages of this formation are also obvious. When the team holding high and playing high passes through the midfield quickly and directly, the pressure and threat on the defensive end will further increase; 4-5- 1

This formation is the golden rule of defending the team. Tactical design depends on the combination of midfielders and regional defense, so it is difficult for opponents to create effective offensive threats. Mourinho restrained Barcelona and designed the tactical arrangement of three midfielders. And 4-5- 1 tends to add three powerful backyards in front of our own defense. Although slightly conservative, this formation is very fast and efficient. The backcourt defender gives the ball directly to the winger or the forward in front, which is quick and direct and often achieves good results. 4-3-3

This formation is a widely used tactical play in modern football, and it is also the most appreciated play by strong teams in football. Barcelona and Real Madrid are outstanding representatives of this formation. This formation is based on the overall strength of the team, and the trident in the frontcourt is often the first-class player who decides the outcome of the game instantly. The midfield trio cooperated tacitly. Although the arrangement of single waist is slightly thin, the strong midfield control relieves the opponent's defensive pressure. High-position attack tactics also benefit from the attack attribute of 4-3-3. The oppression of the current attack has formed a huge offensive network in the frontcourt, and the power displayed by 4-3-3 can destroy everything. Of course, 4-3-3 also has holes in the defensive end, but the constant possession and passing ensures the maturity and stability of the strong teams in using this formation. 4-2-3- 1

4-2-3- 1 should be the most commonly used formation in today's football, and it is also the most clear formation. No matter what tactics are adopted, the flexibility of 4-2-3- 1 is excellent. The single striker can not only take the lead, but also act as a support point, and the offensive ability of the two-wing defender and the front waist is stimulated to the maximum extent. When defending, the two backyards are the second barrier, and the cooperation of the first three greatly reduces the defensive pressure of the midfield. Manchester City knows this formation like the back of his hand this season, but the collocation of key players is particularly important. Once the strength of the frontcourt trio deviates, the power of 4-2-3- 1 will be greatly reduced.

The formation is difficult to interpret everything on the field, but it also radiates the light of football tactics and ideas. For the cup, the styles of different teams are very different, and the analysis of tactical formation has become the secret weapon for coaches of each team to defeat the enemy. But the development of football will never stop, and the evolution, development, evolution and innovation of football formation will continue.
