“Since we changed to 3-1-4-2, it’s not as simple as “We can attack because there are more people in front of us.” Soccer commentator Ryohei Hayashi thoroughly dissected Moriho Japan’s new formation “3-1-4-2 (fire formation)” that was unveiled during the team’s tour to England. We take a look behind the scenes of the brilliant goal in the game against Scotland, and the true nature of the structural “defense gap”. In addition to the merits of a super-offensive line-up, the book uses logic to explain the risks of malfunction during the build-up, and the “difficulty of playing defense” felt by frontline players such as Kiyo Ueda. When should you use this option during the World Cup? He passionately spoke with the keen perspective of a former professional and tactical enthusiast. ⚽️ Highlights: “It’s not enough just to multiply the number of players.” The numerical superiority in the box that gave rise to Junya Ito’s goal, and the mechanism of the four-back strategy. “The build-up becomes dysfunctional.” The risk of an ultra-aggressive formation, and how to avoid it when countermeasures are taken by the opponent. “Structurally, we can no longer be trapped.” Changes in defensive tasks that were lost. What is the fatal “discrepancy” that occurs between the 1st and 2nd tops? – “Options when you are losing” If you found this video interesting or useful, which shows Coach Moriyasu’s side as a matchmaker and the essential requirements for this system to work in the actual World Cup, please give it a high rating 👍 and subscribe to the channel 📺! 🔗Related links FOOTBALL ZONE official website: https://www.football-zone.net/ FOOTBALL ZONE official X (old Twitter): https://x.com/zonewebofficial #Ryohei Hayashi #Moriho Japan #Japan National Team #Japan Soccer National Team #Tactical Commentary #Junya Ito #Daichi Kamata #Kiyo Ueda #Kaoru Mitsumata #World Cup #FOOTBALLZONE #J League
