False-9 Attacker

6,270 6 361

My attempt at replicating Pioli's Milan tactic. A 4-2-3-1 attacking tactic, with one of the strikers playing as a false-9 that moves with a lot of freedom and almost plays as an attacking-midfielder (In Milan's case obviously Çalhanoglu plays in this position). The whole team has a lot of freedom to move away from positions, and this makes the tactic be more than a standard and ineffective 4-4-2 tactic; the box-to-box midfielder (Kessié in Milans's case) starts the plays and kinda helps the defense, and the Advanced Playmaker controls the midfield with the wingers both cutting to the inside and exploring the wide areas of the field. The Target Man function for the left striker can be changed as I just chose it because it's the role Ibra does.
