Defensive Phase
1-Start of Pressure:
In defensive phase, MCI transform its formation
1-4-2-3-1 in a 1-4-4-2. MCI uses an intermediate
pressing, leaving at rival team start the
possession with its DC.
When the ball is near to half line, the two STC
press to rival DC. The midfielder line move
forward, covering the pass line in the middle.
Forcing the mistakes, or forcing the long ball to
the rival team. The defensive line keep its
position to avoid ball to their backs (slow DC)
and using offside trap,. Also, MCI trust in the
great aerial game conditions from its defenders
center(Kompany, Mandanda, Otamendi).
Apparition of space between defensive line, and
midfielder line. Fernandinho is in charge to cover
this zone recovering its position after a long ball.
Defensive Phase
2-Destruction of creation:
When the rival team gets to overcome the pressure.
MCI keeps its 1-4-4-2 formation delaying their
positions, until to have 8 players behind the ball
(Defensive line, Midfielder line). The two STC keep
in advanced positions waiting for defense-attack
transition.
The midfielder line uses a positioning in half moon.
That means the wing in the opposite flank of the
ball keep his position a little forward looking for
defense-attack transition.
Defensive Phase
3-Defense of Goal:
In defense of goal, MCI defends with 8 players
in zone 1. One CM (normally Fernandinho) is
in charge to join with the defensive line in
case of cross (to create superiority in the box),
or to make coverage if one of the DC leaves
his position.
The defensive line defend in zone within
penalty box. The rest of players from the
midfielder line stay in second ball zone
making defensive surveillance.
In the case DC does not leave his position, CM
continue in his position avoiding the
opponent progression.
Defensive Transition Phase
Defensive Reorganization:
The MCI defensive reorganization is based on
intense pressure after ball loss if the team
made a long possession in the opponent half,
allowing to have a good amount of players in
the opponent half and making attacking
surveillance.
In the case the opponent team gets to
overcome the pressure, one defender form
the defensive line delays the opponent ball
progression, while the other defenders drop
their positions, and the midfielders try to
drop behind the ball, changing the team
formation in a 1-4-4-2.
If MCI does not have enough player to start a
pressure in opponent field, they drop their
positions making a intermediate pressure (1-
start of pressure).
Defensive Frontal Free Kick
Defensive Lateral Free Kick
Defensive Frontal Free Kick
2 players in zone
5 players in man marking 1 in second ball zone
Attacking Phase
1-Start Game:
The game model is combinative game as
preference, through short passes and long
possession in opponent half. MCI uses a 1-4-
2-3-1 formation in attacking phase. The two
CM have a lot of importance in this phase.
One of them come to receive the ball from
the DC, and to overcome the opponent
forward line.
When the middle pass line is cover for the
opponent. The AML and AMD have freedom
to come to receive the ball, and to support
to the CM. This provoke an automatic
movement form the LB, or RB moving
forward its position. Thus MCI gets
amplitude in its game. In this case David
Silva comes to receive the ball, and Kolarov
move forward his position.
Attacking Phase
2-Creation Game :
In creation game phase, The three attacking
midfielders and the striker have freedom
to move, and change their position but
always leaving the flanks for the LB and RB.
Yaya Toure is an important piece in this
phase. He has freedom to move forward his
position, and the another CM will cover the
space that Toure leaves.
MCI try to find its attacking midfielders and
STC. When they get to connect with one of
them, the LB or RB will move forward his
position, making break uncheck to the
opponent backs
Attacking Phase
3-Finishing:
In finishing zone, The MCI leave freedom to its
players taking advantage of individual skills, or
long shot opportunities.
Also, a common type of MCI game in finishing
zone is when LB or RB wins deep line to cross the
ball. When this happens, the MCI mechanism is
two players inside the box, the AM opposite to
the ball flank move to his side waiting for a bad
cross, and two player in second game zone (Yaya
Toure one of them).
Attacking Transition Phase
Reorganization Offensive:
When MCI recover the ball try to pass the ball to one of the
STC. Who will keep the ball allowing the MCI
reorganization (1-4-4-2 changes in 1-4-2-3-1).
LB and RB go up their position, creating amplitude in MCI
game.
AML and AMD move up their position to create space for
the LB and RB.
One of CM (Toure) make support uncheck to be pass option
for their teammates. The another CM keep his position,
making surveillance in case of loss ball during this phase.
Counterattack:
The counterattack is a option in MCI game after a ball
recuperation, but normally it is not very common,
preferring the ball possession.
Both STC is the initiator for counterattack. When MCI use in
defensive phase 1-4-4-2. Strikes keep forward their position
waiting for DEF-ATK transition.
If the ball arrive to the STC without marking, the
counterattack is an option, taking advantage of the STC
speed. AML or AMR is incorporated to the play.

  • 20. Defensive Phase 1-Start of Pressure: In defensive phase, MCI transform its formation 1-4-2-3-1 in a 1-4-4-2. MCI uses an intermediate pressing, leaving at rival team start the possession with its DC. When the ball is near to half line, the two STC press to rival DC. The midfielder line move forward, covering the pass line in the middle. Forcing the mistakes, or forcing the long ball to the rival team. The defensive line keep its position to avoid ball to their backs (slow DC) and using offside trap,. Also, MCI trust in the great aerial game conditions from its defenders center(Kompany, Mandanda, Otamendi). Apparition of space between defensive line, and midfielder line. Fernandinho is in charge to cover this zone recovering its position after a long ball.
  • 21. Defensive Phase 2-Destruction of creation: When the rival team gets to overcome the pressure. MCI keeps its 1-4-4-2 formation delaying their positions, until to have 8 players behind the ball (Defensive line, Midfielder line). The two STC keep in advanced positions waiting for defense-attack transition. The midfielder line uses a positioning in half moon. That means the wing in the opposite flank of the ball keep his position a little forward looking for defense-attack transition.
  • 22. Defensive Phase 3-Defense of Goal: In defense of goal, MCI defends with 8 players in zone 1. One CM (normally Fernandinho) is in charge to join with the defensive line in case of cross (to create superiority in the box), or to make coverage if one of the DC leaves his position. The defensive line defend in zone within penalty box. The rest of players from the midfielder line stay in second ball zone making defensive surveillance. In the case DC does not leave his position, CM continue in his position avoiding the opponent progression.
  • 23. Defensive Transition Phase Defensive Reorganization: The MCI defensive reorganization is based on intense pressure after ball loss if the team made a long possession in the opponent half, allowing to have a good amount of players in the opponent half and making attacking surveillance. In the case the opponent team gets to overcome the pressure, one defender form the defensive line delays the opponent ball progression, while the other defenders drop their positions, and the midfielders try to drop behind the ball, changing the team formation in a 1-4-4-2. If MCI does not have enough player to start a pressure in opponent field, they drop their positions making a intermediate pressure (1- start of pressure).
  • 26. Defensive Frontal Free Kick 2 players in zone 5 players in man marking 1 in second ball zone
  • 27. Attacking Phase 1-Start Game: The game model is combinative game as preference, through short passes and long possession in opponent half. MCI uses a 1-4- 2-3-1 formation in attacking phase. The two CM have a lot of importance in this phase. One of them come to receive the ball from the DC, and to overcome the opponent forward line. When the middle pass line is cover for the opponent. The AML and AMD have freedom to come to receive the ball, and to support to the CM. This provoke an automatic movement form the LB, or RB moving forward its position. Thus MCI gets amplitude in its game. In this case David Silva comes to receive the ball, and Kolarov move forward his position.
  • 28. Attacking Phase 2-Creation Game : In creation game phase, The three attacking midfielders and the striker have freedom to move, and change their position but always leaving the flanks for the LB and RB. Yaya Toure is an important piece in this phase. He has freedom to move forward his position, and the another CM will cover the space that Toure leaves. MCI try to find its attacking midfielders and STC. When they get to connect with one of them, the LB or RB will move forward his position, making break uncheck to the opponent backs
  • 29. Attacking Phase 3-Finishing: In finishing zone, The MCI leave freedom to its players taking advantage of individual skills, or long shot opportunities. Also, a common type of MCI game in finishing zone is when LB or RB wins deep line to cross the ball. When this happens, the MCI mechanism is two players inside the box, the AM opposite to the ball flank move to his side waiting for a bad cross, and two player in second game zone (Yaya Toure one of them).
  • 30. Attacking Transition Phase Reorganization Offensive: When MCI recover the ball try to pass the ball to one of the STC. Who will keep the ball allowing the MCI reorganization (1-4-4-2 changes in 1-4-2-3-1). LB and RB go up their position, creating amplitude in MCI game. AML and AMD move up their position to create space for the LB and RB. One of CM (Toure) make support uncheck to be pass option for their teammates. The another CM keep his position, making surveillance in case of loss ball during this phase. Counterattack: The counterattack is a option in MCI game after a ball recuperation, but normally it is not very common, preferring the ball possession. Both STC is the initiator for counterattack. When MCI use in defensive phase 1-4-4-2. Strikes keep forward their position waiting for DEF-ATK transition. If the ball arrive to the STC without marking, the counterattack is an option, taking advantage of the STC speed. AML or AMR is incorporated to the play.
  • 38. Probable Line Up (Game 15) Vs Watford FC (Away)
  • 39. Recommendations GENERAL CHARACTERISTIC OF ATTACK ORGANIZATION PHASE Positional Combinative Attack like game model. Through short pass and playing with width. MCI cares the tempo with ball. Dangerous in set pieces. In creation zone, fast progression with support uncheck in the middle zone. Freedom movement for the attacking players. The flanks are for LB and RB. RB/LB move forward to create amplitude and depth. Freedom of individual skills or long shot when the ball arrive to zone 4. CHARACTERISTIC OF ATTACKING TRANSITION STC are in charger to the offensive transition. Keeping the ball waiting for team repositioning. The offensive transition is in block looking for a good balance between line to keep the possession in the opponent half. Amplitude from RB/LB. AML/AMR move inside to create spaces in the flanks, and support in the middle. GENERAL CHARACTERISTIC OF DEFENSIVE ORGANIZATION PHASE Team change its formation in 1-4-4-2, with intermediate block and leaving start the game to the opponent. Good set pieces defend(Great aerial game conditions). When ball arrive close to half line, intense pressure from strikes line, and midfielders line. Defenders line keeps their positions playing offside trap. In case to ineffective pressure. Team drops in block to its field, positioning 8 players behind the ball, and two strikes waiting for DEF-ATK transition. CHARACTERISTIC OF DEFENSIVE TRANSITION High pressure and high intensity when they lose the ball after long possession in opponent half (Good attacking surveillance).
