JOIN NOWBest way to defend a 4-2-4/3-3-4, when playing 4-3-3 yourself?
Hi,I am playing in a 4-3-3 style. Yesterday we played against a team that started 4-4-2, but when they had the ball, switched to a 4-2-4/3-3-4 playing style.What do you trainers believe is the best way to overcome/defend that?Also, what are the best passing opportunities when attacking in a 4-3-3 style and playing against a 4-4-2/3-3-4 style?Any thoughts on this?Thank you so much!

Your mid wings need to come down to defend and your wind strikers need to come back and you ultimately go into a 6-3-1. You need to watch your side pockets (either side of the goal) the attack will try to play into there and then cross. I recommend you do some research on how to "park the bus" and then also how play when another team "parks the bus", this will give you some great information, and help with this type of play.
