Short passing, through the flanks, attacking mentality, zonal marking,
pressing whole pitch with offside trap.
OR Own Half, counter attack, defensive, mixed passing

and you can use 3-1-4-2 using normal mentality, zonal marking, own half, short passing, normal tackling, no counterattack and no offside trap.
