People really do think formations work like in FIFA don't they?
Seriously how TF can you watch Bayern absolutely TEAR APART our full back areas and think the solution is to play nobody their and just let them do it
Dear Barca fans if you want to play a Cruijffian/Peppian style 343 diamond or a shape like it: the guy you need is Sergi Roberto. He's obviously not as good as Alves, but as someone who can move from RB to 8 and back he's perfect as a tactical fit.
Look at this as an example.

Lenglet isn't really comfortable at LB, so you'd probably want someone else there, but this is how the Cruijff 343 works.

In order: basic concept, defensive shape, transitional shape, offensive shape
If you're thinking "wait, this just looks like a 4231 with a full back moving into midfield", that's because it's basically what it is.

Number sequence formations are largely BS, what matters is who covers each area of the pitch, when and why.
As another example: 4 good teams playing different shapes on paper but all having essentially the same attacking shape

It's almost like how and where you create overloads is consistent and doesn't just come from the formation

City 17/18, Lazio 19/20, Barca 16/17 and Man U 19/20
AHHHHHHHHHHH

IT JUST KEEPS FUCKING HAPPENING
