Idea So my idea is to use a posession based style of football at bologna. After a few friendly games, I realised that this tactic concedes too many goals. So my main question is if it is at all viable to use a libero-supp in this system. My idea was that the IFB on the right and the halfback would form a back 3 with the CD-def. But during the friendlies it feels like we are very vulnerable in transition. Any tips to fix this specific issue are very welcome, but general suggestions for the tactic as well! Mainly, I really want to use a libero in this tactic and use zirkzee as a DLF, apart from that, anything can be changed.

I'm doing a youth academy challenge, and I noticed I had a severe lack of wingers and great attacking fullbacks. As I lacked centreback depth, a 5atb was not possible so I settled on a 442 narrow diamond. The results aren't horrible, but I generally feel we are getting outplayed. I have never used a narrow tactic like this and I am struggling with two things. First is how to defend in this shape: do I press high or not, do I use pressing traps? My second issue is in attack. The idea is to use the strong centre and use the wingbacks as an outlet. But in reality our possesion is quite low and we aren't creating many chances. If you can help me identifying some issues with the tactic that would be great!
