    The 4-3-3 is by far the most popular formation in the modern game. From premier league winners Manchester city, to champions league finalists in Liverpool and Real Madrid, it’s been the most used formation for almost two decades. So how exactly do you stop it? And will any formation eventually steal it’s crown? In today’s video, were going to be taking a look at how to counter the 4-3-3.
    it’s important to note that no two teams are the same, and even if they play with the same formation, managers and players will mean each team has their own unique style of play. For example Klopp and Guardiola both use the 433, however both teams have drastically different playstyles.
    The 4-3-3 gives a team excellent offensive and defensive balance. The natural shape means the team can quickly cover the pitch both vertically and horizontally, and players who receive the ball will almost always have at least two passing options given the triangular shape between positions. It has great central cover and with pretty basic rotations can quickly have a lot of players on the attack, with the fullbacks pushing up, the two box to box midfielders as support, and with a back 3 defensive unit to stop any counters. Without possession, it’s the go-to formation for high pressing teams, as it can quickly cover passing lanes and have players ready to double up on the player on the ball.
    Now on the flip side of the coin the aggressive nature of this formation means it can struggle against quick counter attacks, especially on the flanks in pocket’s of space behind the fullbacks. It’s also a formation that requires constant movement to provide passing options, and can often struggle to break down a low defensive block. While it has great central cover, the flanks are, generally speaking, the most exposed areas of the pitch, and requires the attacking players to help out defensively consistently throughout the match.
    The basic structure but complex rotations of the 433 means it’s a formation that is extremely tough to master and requires the right players for the job.
    Beating the 433 is no easy task, but with excellent organization and quick movement the 433 can be just as vulnerable as any other formation

    Playing the diamond with the Sunday league team I'm coaching this season. Need a DM who is really comfortable on the ball. This player will have more possession than any others. We also use wide strikers so the opposition CBs ultimately are redundant. At this level most CBs don't have the best ball playing ability. Trialled at the end of last season. A 5-0 and 5-2 win both against 433s!

  • @GioNecromancer

    GREAT VIDEO as usual, i think the next formation to cover would be the 3-4-3 or 3-4-1-2, it is hard for a 4-3-3 to penetrate that 5 at the back block, beacuse of the 1v1 situation in the offensive third when the 4-3-3 becomes a 2-3-5 or a 3-2-5.
    That would be really helpful to now.

    I'm an Englishman living in the U.S, I just got a position as coach for a team of 13 & 14 year olds, they've not had any success in their playing careers yet, being the worst and 2nd worst in their state for the last 3 seasons. I'm really hoping I can transform them with a 3-4-3, but the problem is here in the U.S they don't really love football as much as we do, so they tend to not watch it much either, So trying to explain things becomes tricky. I'm told most teams here play a 433 as standard so hoping we can really dominate the league this season with some European influence.
    Appreciate the videos as always.

      It all boils down to how to dumb down concepts to the basic level. I also coach a department team within a university. I switched to a 3-4-3 after a 6-match losing streak and tried to dumb down basic knowledge as simple as I can while occasionally taking the opportunity to increase their football knowledge. We went on to make a 6-game unbeatable run before we eventually lost in a cup tie. Hope you can find inspiration form this too. Love to talk to you sometime as well if you have the time

    I think a 541 midblock can be very strong against the 433, since all the passing lanes are blocked. When the 541 team wins the ball back, they can immediately start a counter whilst shifting to a 3241

  • @cameronmcainsh4170

    Hi Coach, great video as always! How would you approach double revolving central flankers against a stationary pivot blocker in a typical 4-3-3? I find it difficult to up the counter with such a top-heavy swing backer.... maybe a good idea for your next video!
    Keep up the great work!

    • @FootballMeta
      @FootballMeta  ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Hi Cameron, fantastic question. Firstly, how are you dividing your quadrants? Personally, I think the central flankers are overkill against a pivot blocker, you'd have much more success with a holding winger attacking the back rank. Counterball situations could be tricky, but as long as all 3 of your centreblockers are in line then you should be rock solid. Good luck!

      Technically speaking the WM structure is still used today, i.e Pep's 3-2-5 attacking structure or any team that uses this attacking structure, while Kloop's 2-3-5 attacking structure is more of a MW formation.

  • @andrewsmith9174
    @andrewsmith9174 ปีที่แล้ว

    It’s fairly simple to beat the 4-3-3 by attacking the outsides. You wear down the fullbacks by keeping them running and then to compensate, teams unbalance their center. Then you have them by switching attacks from outside to inside. I dislike the obvious weakness and over reliance on the defense to fix all the mistakes of the attacking players.

    @gabrielalohan728 ปีที่แล้ว

    I believe the 4-2-3-1 and 3-5-2 that can morph a 3-4-3 can match the strengths of a 4-3-3. A Simeone like 4-4-2 is what I'd recommend though.
    But I feel like one thing you didn't point out with the 4-3-3 is its high prospect to deploy a false 9 which can cause all sort of problems at the center by overloading the half spaces and even the wings.
    Also I'd like you to explore more classic formations like the 3-3-3-1 (and similar formations ie 3-1-3-3, 3-3-1-3). When you watch smaller sides in Spain and Italy, they tend to deploy this formations mid match. And I think Leeds in the PL experimented one of them with Bielsa.
    I'd really love to see a content on that.
