Barcelona 3-2-3-2 (3-2-3-2) vs Barcelona 4-2-3-1 (4-2-3-1) - ShareMyTactics.com
Submitted on
Two tactical options for Barcelona: 3-2-3-2 and 4-2-3-1 Player changes from one tactic to the other: Iniesta -> Alba Vermaelen -> Adriano Common strategies: Both Messi and Rakitic tend to wander through the right and through the middle - using Messi as a AMC/SS and Rakitic as a RW/RM allow them to switch positions. In both cases, a double pivot with Mascherano and Busquets. Mascherano stays in the side of the defence that is more vulnerable, because of his pace - Bartra is a clear example of the lack of pace. Busquets can advance a bit more and try to sweep passes, something he does really well. 4-2-3-1 Adriano has a more defensive stance. The whole defensive unit moves left when Alba goes up the pitch - Mascherano can drop back and cover spaces when needed.
