In this specialset, Manchester City's Assistant ManagerDavid Platt provides you with a tacticalplaybook for exploiting and beating youropponents formation.This book illustrates how to effectivelycoach your team to beat an opposing teamthat is playing the 3-5-2 system. The 3-5-2 isone of the most common formations usedby teams all over the world. Regardless ofthe formation you employ with your team,understanding how to tactically beat the 35-2 formation is a must for any coach. WORLD CLASS COACHING3Coaching the 3-5-2 Formation

1. IntroductionThe most popular formation employing three central defenders is a 3-5-2 formation. There is alsoformation 5-3-2, but it is almost identical. Especially when we keep in mind the differences between theterms of 'formation' and 'system'. The only difference as for formations is the height of the startingpoints for wing-backs. The specifications as for their involvement in attacking and defending is a questionincluded in the system's details.The thing we have to remind and now is a good moment for that, is that no formation is more 'offensive'or 'defensive'. The formations pose some characteristic specifications for different moments of the gameand those characteristics favor specific styles of play, none formation says us anything about thepresented style of play.For example, we may deduce that the team using 4-3-3 formation will try playing positional attacks, asthey will use 3 central midfielders and both full backs and wingers on the sides, but what if those centralmidfielders are 2 or even 3 holding midfielders and full backs are banned from running forward?The situation that this question is repeated most often is when talking about the coach using 1 or 2 or 3strikers. The fans usually say, the coach „decides for more offensive play” as he exchanges onemidfielder for a striker, for example. But what if the midfielder coming off is a creative player and thestriker coming on the pitch is a limited player, effective mainly in air challenges? In such situation we cansay, that the coach forsaken the patient creation of chances and will want his team to try more directfootball, what is not more attacking, but more desperate.Also systems with front-three players is not directly meaning there will be 3 strikers playing inside thebox. That can also mean there will be 2 wingers on the sides and those players may try to look for gettinginside, but also getting to the end line with the ball and cross the ball. All that shows us, that theformation itself doesn't say us much about the team's system or style of play. As we have said, we mayhave get some info about it, but we can know for sure, only from watching the team play.We have reminded it now, as talking about the systems with back-three we have to remember that it'snot „more defensive” formation itself, as all formations are neutral. Only teams using those add themspecific character. Back-three systems are often used by teams relying on counter attacking, but that is achoice made by coaches, as they believe the specific formation would suit the expected style of play andnot the formation determining the play.Coaching the 3-5-2 Formation4 WORLD CLASS COACHING

2. Theory behind 3-5-2 formationBack three systems gives good natural cover in the center of defence. We have three players blockingthe crucial zone in defence, but also three players covering the play, while in possession. That allows forassigning more specific roles for other players. Formation of 3-5-2 also allows for more natural andquicker overcrowding in the center, what also increases the covering of play, while opening up spaces onthe sides for quick and high-endurance players in wing back roles. The fact that Guardiola used 3-5-2 fewtimes, while often choosing also 3-4-3 also shows us, that calling the back-three formations „defensive”would be wrong.Analyzing specific formations, we should start with the back three. We have said already, that those 3players won't be involved in attacking directly. It is of course possible to allow one of them entering withthe ball higher up the pitch, but that would require other player to take his post immediately and isn'tseen often. WORLD CLASS COACHING5Coaching the 3-5-2 Formation

We would rather ask those players to cover the team, focusing 50% on giving an option of a safe passand 50% on possible counter attack by the opponent.During defending those players can cover wider area than the standard central duo. They can easilycover for wing back, while still leaving 2 players in the center. That gives more options and betterprotection in defence. In the past, the standard pattern was that 2 of those defenders were manmarking 2 strikers of the rival, while one player was providing cover from deeper position, the so called„sweeper”. With the changes in the offside rule and increased speed of play, now those three defendersplay in flat line, defending zonally.Coaching the 3-5-2 Formation6 WORLD CLASS COACHING

In midfield, there are many options, resulting from the presence of 3 central midfielders. There arestandard options for such scenario, so they may play in line, or with one or two staying deeper. Thisaspect should be decided based on the players' characteristics and the expected style of play. WORLD CLASS COACHING7Coaching the 3-5-2 Formation

Wing backs are positions that require from players high endurance and good speed. They are usually ontheir own on the flanks and to cover the full length on the pitch is a really difficult task, especially if theteam bases its play on transitions. WORLD CLASS COACHING9Coaching the 3-5-2 Formation

Upfront, we have 2 strikers and also their positioning offer standard choices of vertical or horizontal lineor interchangeability. That should be also decided based on the players' characteristics and the expectedstyle of play.Coaching the 3-5-2 Formation10 WORLD CLASS COACHING

3. Analysis of formation during phases of the gameAnalysis 1 – Reorganizing to defensive structureWe see the moment when Torino, trying to build their attack, loose the ball near the Juventuspenalty box. At this moment, there are 5 Torino players above the ball line and we will check howthe team reorganizes to their defensive structure.What we haven't seen in this fragment, is how Torino defenders, while keeping compact unit movedto the side, blocking possible run by Pogba.Coaching the 3-5-2 Formation12 WORLD CLASS COACHING

The player then passed the ball to the side, but Morata who received the ball, was quickly pressed bythe opponent.That slowed down and even stopped the action, giving time to other players to come back.Marchisio, as he received a back pass, even though is in deeper position and although it seems thatTorino have rebuilt their structure is pressed by the rival from behind.That is because the player in question is a midfielder coming back and he knows that until he isn't inhis position, the team isn't 100% ready to defend the attack. WORLD CLASS COACHING13Coaching the 3-5-2 Formation

Now we see Torino's midfielders and strikers in their standard formation. Those 5 players position inline, but with opponents circulating the ball they are cooperating moving from side to side, butfocusing on blocking the center mainly.Now, with the ball on the side, we see how wing back moves to block the rival, while one of thecenter back follows to cover for him. The other two defenders are staying centrally.Good come back by one of the central midfielders allow the team to recover the ball, while thecenter back were staying further, defending the center of the box.Coaching the 3-5-2 Formation14 WORLD CLASS COACHING

Analysis 2 – Defending in deep positionsThe action starts with Torino prepared to defend in 3-5-2 against Juventus attack starting from a freekick inside their half. The players are ready and in positions.Torino are marking closely, so the opponents have to pass the ball back.Torino players are deep, staying close to the opponents with the special mention of defendersfollowing the strikers' movements. WORLD CLASS COACHING15Coaching the 3-5-2 Formation

Also here we see, how the central defender followed Morata's movement. He was able to do that, asthere are still 2 central defenders blocking the box and midfielders are covering if needed.Torino are organized and Juventus can't find a way towards the goal, so they pass back again.As we have talked about the central defenders staying close to the opponents, we see Glik, next tothe striker and just in a moment, he will go even further, trying to intercept Cuadrado's action.Coaching the 3-5-2 Formation16 WORLD CLASS COACHING

Analysis 3 – Building actionsIn this clip, we see Juventus defenders in possession as the team is building its attack. We willanalyze this action, looking at the use of the 3-5-2 formation in attacking.We see the ball is passes to the side, to Evra playing as a wing back and it its worth watching theaction, looking how wing backs, are almost the only players staying in the wide zones. WORLD CLASS COACHING17Coaching the 3-5-2 Formation

Roma players are limiting options for Juventus, and they want to take much risk in that area, so Evrapasses a longer ball to the striker. Although Pogba moved to the side to give option, but the wingback would choose that option only if it was very favorable.Following Mandzukic action, as he was stopped by the defender, the ball is quickly played to theside. Lichsteiner, who is a right wing back, again is the only player on the side and there are nomovements toward him. There are many player inside the box and he is supposed to play the ballthere quickly.Coaching the 3-5-2 Formation18 WORLD CLASS COACHING

Analysis 4 – Creating the space in the centerAfter recovering the ball, it is passed to the central defenders, so they can start the attack of theteam.Again, it is worth noting how many players there are in the center, while wing backs are stretchingthe play on their own. WORLD CLASS COACHING19Coaching the 3-5-2 Formation

Such positioning opens the space up for Pogba, who prefers playing in half-spaces. He receives theball and continue the action easily.The presence of two strikers, give certainty there is always someone who can make a run into space.Coaching the 3-5-2 Formation20 WORLD CLASS COACHING
