Defense: Playing as a counter attacking team. Quiet similar to Mourinho at Real Madrid & Inter. As the other team has the ball, Casemiro joins the CBs so there’s a back 5 with Mkhitaryan, Kovacic and Salah filling the midfield with intense pressing as each of them are very quick. Diego Costa will press the back line and Neymar cuts the passing lines. Basically, parking the bus, conceding possession upto our own final third and then pressing high, filling the 18 yard area like Atletico Madrid would. Chose Laporte, Sokratis and Casemiro to be the back 3 as they’re are strong in the air, they would win most crosses into the box as well as keep the space tight. Attacking: Each time the ball is intercepted, Casemiro slowly becomes part of the Midfield again as Kovacic can carry the ball box to box at pace, dribbling being is specialty. Walker, Telles are maybe the two fastest Fullbacks today, they would overlap Neymar and Salah as they cut into the box. Ederson can play the ball up very far and quickly at Costa’s feet where he plays a target man role, holding up the ball, bringing defenders near the halfway line as Salah and Neymar run in behind. But, if the team needs to keep possession, each of the midfield players are excellent on the ball, the can keep possession in the final 3rd. Mkhitaryan can cut the defence, Kovacic can run through them, each can pass it through like Barcelona play; keeping it slow paced, until there’s an opening.
