how to beat 4-4-2 formation

[André Costa]

the only 2 games i had against 442 with the same quality, i won playing 4-4-1-1...i had already lost against weaker teams playing ND..u may score going throught the middle, bur he will kill u in the flanks...

from what i have seen, to win against 4-4-2:

a) control the middfield; 4 our more players.

b) cover the flanks.

c) attack through the middle.

Assuming, we play to win, few formations can do that, 4-4-1-1 or 4-1-3w-1-1 may do the job..i wil test the last one..
