Matias Almeyda (River Plate legend and former Lazio and Inter player) is using kinda this formation and idea on his game. But he is using man-mark at his defensive part for AEK Athens. They was on the group of death in Europa League with European giants like Marseille,Ajax and Brighton and lost the third place on the last game. At the moment they are the double champions in Greece and currently sitting first place at +1 from PAOK and +3 from Panathinaikos that is coached by Galatasaray legend (Fatih Terim.
You should look them up. They look really exciting and have the most xG and xP in Greece atm.
