Are defensive tactics the best ones?

[Ποσιδονας]

I couldn't agree more specially after my Cup final today.
4-5-1 V is the formation I like to use , but 4-1-4-1 is what I trust more when playing vs very tough opponents.
My team RINOKEROS (lv12) played in the Cup final vs a lv15 team (leader of his league) so I set 4-1-4-1.
My orders are defense/counter/flanks/low pressing/ normal tackling/zonal / no offside and long passing as oppo played with 4-2-2-2 hex and didn't have DMs.
Red arrows to my ML & MR, blue arrows to my 5 defenders.
Max win bonus, 4 X10% training bonus but didn't use extra bonus as I was watching from old version.
Oppo didn't watch (too bad for him ).

that must be a shock for the other manager
