Hi guys, welcome to the 4th episode dedicated to Pep Guardiola's historical tactics.
This time I emulate the tactic he used in season 2011-12 (his last season at Barcelona), a 3-4-3 diamond tactic that allowed that Barcelona to win 4 trophies, unfortunately not the Spanish Liga and UEFA Champions League, but Copa del Rey, Uefa Super Cup, Spain Supercup (Supercopa de Espana) and Fifa Club World Cup. In the video you will see how I created the tactic in the game, how it worked, my season with Barca stats, and some highlights.
N.B.
- About Fabregas role: before choosing the Advanced Playmaker in Attack role, I tried him also as a Shadow Striker because I thought the Shadow Striker
will move into the box and switch position with the False 9 but I noticed that actually he often stayed in the same position as the false 9 (that in my Barcelona
save was either Lewandowski, or Joao Felix, the latter suiting much better in the role than the former), in other words he did not drop down when the false 9
was moving into the box, even if I tried to give him instructions. When I switched it to the Advanced Playmaker in attack, he interchanged position with the
false 9 and never bothered him when he was moving to the box.
- About Sergio Busquets playing as a central defender (ball playing defender-defend): someone may argue why I put Busquets in the back three in the analysis and added a HB role for Seydou Keita? Why did I not use only 2 center backs and put Busquets directly as a HB? Well, for two reasons: first, in the analysis made by the Youtube channel Football Made Simple which I used as main source for this tactic emulation, Keita is playing as a HB with Busquets as a central defender and I wanted to stick to this analysis which I believe being the most accurate of many I found online. Second, in a tactic with only 2 central defenders, Busquets as a hb would have too much space to cover and too much duties to do, since the other midfielders (Dlp-support, ap-support and ap-attack) would not help him and that would be too risky and would allow the opponent to overwhelm us and score too many goals.
What to do if
- If you are struggling to score (no matter if you are still 0-0 or you are losing): change the mentality from positive to attacking, switch the attacking players mentality from support to attack too (the two inside forwards and you can change the false 9 into a trequartista if you have a player who suits that role or to a DLF in attack if your striker suits this role better, anyway, you should change the false 9 role which is only a support role into an attacking role). Remove the instruction to dribble less in the possession phase and the instruction hold shape in the transition phase. In the possession phase, switch the tempo to slightly lower or even to standard and the pass directness to slightly narrower instead of narrow).
I hope the tactic works for you too,
