Finally , explanation of amr, aml playing in the middle

[IImaestroII]

The thing is that if false 9 it's a real thing here this means that just like messi it's gonna fall down to the midfield in order to make plays along with two playmakers ( Xavi, iniesta ). This means that the ball will be played mainly throught the middle and knowing that even when we encourage our team to play the ball from a preferable side they gonna making plays also to other sides of the field as anyone can witness when watching the live match. This means to me that it's better to encourage them play through the middle cause this is the best if you want to support this kind of playstyle. Inside forwards will penetrate the defensive lines giving options to the false nine for passes. But this is just a thought cause top eleven it's a little bit paradox.

Y i can understand, but that Bacelona (Pep's one ), doesn't focus only on the middle, they prefered to play in the middle but if there is not space there they go wide.



Give a look a Whoscored.com , you will find some old season stats of all teams, for example here you can see that they attacked more right side ( that time Dani Alves was on fire on that flank ) , then in the middle. The left side was for cover , Abidal played there.
