This will get the best defence in while also not pushing attackers to play out of position. Di Maria can play higher up with Rojo covering the left flank. This will make transitions from defence to attack smoother while also keeping all players in their best positions, with Mata and Herrera pushing up the middle. Formation will shift from a 5-2-1-2 while on defence duties to a 4-1-5 while on the attack, with Blind acting as an auxiliary defender.
