Season 68

[Gert Funck]

The only probable way to beat a team using this formation is to try and score more goals than the opponent.

That is always my tactic

That is always my tactic

aha.. theory explained, now the practice xD

I'm serious. I played twice against a weaker team that used such a formation. It seemed that nothing could prevent this team from scoring, not even the 4-5-1 or 3-5-2 V styles; this advanced diamond formation seems to counter the V styles that usually counter the common narrow diamond. I was beaten at home 3-2, but I managed to beat him 4-2 away. In the away match, that is at home for him, he still scored 2 goals despite being 1 man down for about 37 min.
