Clear enough, your choice is 4-4-2 classic, with red arrows on Mr,Ml (red on STs are always optional), attack down both flanks, mixed passing, own half. Good luck! 4-1-2-1-2 ND is an option as well with short passing through middle but not as effective as 4-4-2 classic, just avoid any formation with amr,l or 2 amcs.

many thanks but, i already won, used 4-5-1 V.i agree that 4-4-2 classic is the besst cure against almost all tactics, thanks for the tip, i remembered that i already played some games against this tactic with 4-4-2 classic last season and also won.

Well done for winning, but for future reference, you best bet is to use any formation with 4 flank players (DL,DR,ML,MR), his tower is his weakness it is far too narrow! any good 4-4-2 classic as you said and 3w-1-4-2 or 4-1-3w-2 or 3-4-3 or 4-3-3 would do the job.

Normal, both flanks, long ball, no counter/offside.

Changed to 5-4-1 at about 70'
