1-4-4-2 : The best tactical system ever

When we talk about soccer’s tactic, we can ignore the best system (on my opinión) “1-4-4-2”. Teams like the Brasilian and England’s football selections used it on the FIFA WORLD CUP 1966 and now it i son the top of the tactic’s manual because it combines a defensive and offensive approach.

  This is the typical alignment with four defenders, four midfield players and two forwards. The midfields support the offensive and deffensive line, stopping the advance or projection of the rival and generate attack’s choice to conect with the forwards.

The sidemen ( midfield players with a wide tour of the bands) have the roll of open the game for the both bands.

  The best of this system’s the versatility, for example, If we have the 4 midfielders in parallel to the defense it means more players to stop the rival game. In this case we can change to a 1-4-3-1-2, creating a kind of rhomb on the middle. To get it, one of the midfields has to up and writhe a rhomb with the other midfield (down) and the two sideman.

Conversely, In a 1-4-4-2 with defensive’s midfields we can find a an impenetrable Wall.

In everycase, the most important in a team when  attacks and defends is to return to its lines quickly.

The tactic of "touching" it is key to be able to create plays tried and tested
