How to counter 1-4-1-3-1?

[ser710]

Hello everyone, I've never encountered this formation before and it's the semifinal game for the Champion's League.



Decided to log in through facebook and the formations looks more like a 3-2-1-3-1. I'm no expert so you guys tell me what to do, trying to learn as much as I can.

Would love any tips.

Went with a 3-5-2 V Style. Keep in mind that I was a little stronger than he was and he still won in possession.

Sorry I messed up, this match was against the League Leader (I'm 2nd) but it might be useful to someone else.

The game ended 0-0

Hello everyone one I played my match against this opponent and he was better in every way stats wise. I did move from Long Passing to Mixed Passing in the later parts of the second half since I was losing a lot of balls from the Defenders that would just kick it anywhere. Also tried a little with High Pressing.
