Finally he will be using long ball to miss out any midfield threat, but you have to balance your team so 4 across the middle
So in short your team is 3N-4-3 Narrow Short passing to control possession.
I use 4-5-1V because they counter quite a number of tactics, but generally use 4-5-1 inverted V they are a good tactic but do have weaknesses
Good luck
