It’s widely mocked as too defensive, but it really isn’t. There isn’t anything going on that your players shouldn’t be ready for and aren't easily trained in. It’s not glamorous, but everyone knows how it works, and sometimes tactical familiarity is a boon. Without Drogba’s dominance and Lampard’s 20 goals a season, it just looks like yesterday’s tactic. It just tends to look dour when Klopp, Pep, and Bielsa are doing their thing, but it’s the solution to those problems. You need wingbacks with pace who'll track back, as well as two swift strikers, one playing on the shoulder of the last man. However, the Catenaccio with wingbacks is a less exhausting and effective counter-attacking formation when it works right. It requires top marking, tackling, strength, and heading stats. Now he tends to be the valet, pulling up in the penalty area. In his earlier years the Special One railed against lower league buses parked in the way of his steamroller. Catenaccio: 5-3-2Įarly Mourinho must hate late Mourinho. Ronaldo wouldn’t track back for his new boss at the Bernabéu in a similarly taxing and countering 4-2-3-1 and that arguably cost them the Champions League under Mourinho. That all-for-one-spirit is essential at the top, too. It has the advantage of being something that works without world-class players, as long as everyone is pulling in the same direction and tracks back, with plenty of endeavour and stamina. Again, you’ll need fast wing-backs and to get the wingers at the top to cut in, in an inside-forward role, to leave space wide. It seems defensive, but it’s all a trap to ensnare the unwary. This FM 22 tactic typifies early Mourinho, when he really was the Special One.
Train for passing, composure, and vision, and invert your wingers so they can cut inside. It also needs absolute commitment and patience from fans and owners. Their one-size-fits-all approach-if you have the ball, the opposition, whomever it is, can’t score-is theoretically correct, but it requires the personnel, including a clinical finisher to make the most of those few chances and a world-class number 10 through which to funnel the ball.

Then as the years went on, you saw it fall apart in a decade long slow-motion car crash, where they tried to walk the ball into the net with fewer and fewer resources and teams that had long worked out how to stop them.
If you watched the Arsenal of the noughties you’ve seen this philosophy and formation executed to perfection. Train for creativity, decision making, and, obviously, passing, even if you’re swimming in riches. But are you up to it? For it to work you need stamina, teamwork, passing, vision, decisions, work rate, first touch, and technique throughout the squad, as well as attacking flair and a colossus of a defensive midfielder. It’s essentially a high press followed by high-tempo short passes to cut through defences into space, with the freedom to experiment upfront. So attractive, so chairman-pleasing and so often leading to you getting walloped if you get it wrong. Think Pep’s Barca and Spain’s all-conquering Euro/World/Euro Champions.
RDF’s replication of Klopp’s title-winning strategy, practically a 4-3-3 formation, remains sound… but have you the players for it? Tiki Taka: 4-3-3 Don't be surprised if your Forest Green are struggling with Bielsa Burnout with this Football Manager 2022 tactic. Sticking with a 5-2-1-2 works well but, again, this is a super-high-intensity tactic. The 4-2-3-1 pressing formation is exhausting, with consequences for the later stages of the game and the end of the season. Your injuries will mount and your players will become fatigued. It also requires in-game adaptation don’t expect it to be a cure-all.
