    The issue with playing a 4-4-2 in the modern game is that wide midfielders are pretty rare these days. Most wingers today are forwards who are used to play in single-striker formations. So putting them as wingers in a 4-4-2 would naturally turn it into a 4-2-4, which makes you lose the midfield battle against teams that have 3 men in midfield. If anything, the kinds of players today who’d make the most sense as wide midfielders in a 4-4-2 would probably be attacking midfielders with good crossing ability (like De Bruyne), and wing-backs (like Nuno Mendes).

      Id say that physically strong midfielders could play that wide role. For an example Fede Valverde or Marcos Llorente. Or you could play it with intelligent explosive guys like Gavi

    Easy to train, can be adapted, defends with two compact lines, one of the attackers can drop into the midfield and you get an extra man in defense, fashion comes and goes, but the 4-4-2 is always smiling from the corner.

    inverting a fullback is really useful in 442 as it gives numerical advantage in mid considering only 2 central mids occupying the central space.inverting either one or both fullbacks gives cm freedom to push forward

    Diego Simeone is so clever he use is two attackers to draw out his two opponents center backs that is so brilliant that mean no matters how strong opposition defence is it very easily to get pull so a dead lock can be broken. The 4-4-2 formation also made a lot of sense how to generate the midfield so that it can always be solid to break through 🏆🥇⚽

    Basically, 442 is the once popular 2332 (WM) formation, but in horizontal orientation. Like the later, it also forms 4 triangles that sandwiched 2 squares, making it a solid formation with a lot of passing options, and provide easy flexibility to transform the attacks into very controlling 424 or even very aggresive 244.

    442 is still the king. Most of the new "fancy" tactics are always made with the intention of breaking down low-mid block 4-4-2 in mind.(reason inverted fullbacks became a thing to overcome two strikers press).

  • @mlondimbambo693
    @mlondimbambo693 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The 4-4-2 can be adapted in so many ways that you can't really say it has obvious weaknesses.
    It's compactness means it's good defensively but also for keeping possession...the wide wings tuck in to create the overload in midfield which at the same time creates space for the full backs to push forward...this is how a modern 4-4-2 is implemented.
    1 holding and 1 attacking midfield is the shape that optimizes spacing..
    The only thing that I'd say works against it is that it is less direct offensively.
    You can't pressure the opposition defense as quickly..because the pace of your attack has to be in sync with the wingers getting forward to convert the midfield overload to an overload in the box..

  • @benfehily3060

    Think 4 - 4 -2 is a great foundation for weaker teams at grassroot level cos the mid field structure is identical to the defensive unit and thus your 16 defenders 😂 are more comfortable than in a 4 -3-3 where the midfield space is bigger and the 3 central players are inclined to bunch in possession as they haven't that confidence to make it big.
    Also, for introducing block formations at any level i would start with a 4-4-2 to demonstrate the fundamental principles of that structure as opposed to a 4- 2 - 3 - 1 which notionally introduces a 4 tier defence.
    It is good to know the principles of all formations but the one you eventually settle on has to fit with the abilities of your players I.e you choice must be player centric.
    4 - 4- 2 at its heart is very straight forward ...keep building in fours and what you have left throw um all up top😂
    Great vid. Knowing and planning your options to counteract opposition overloads in different areas of the pitch is as important as a good build up strategy. Thank you 👏👏👏

  • @acheungjuju

    I think in the next couple of years, 442 will come back but in a different way, with 2 false nine played by the 2 wingers and 4 central midfielders. The midfielders will be even more versatile. They will be able to play anywhere including side midfielers positions. I see Luis Enrique is trying this with PSG: Ruiz, Vitinha and Joao Neves can all play as regista and mezzala, Doue and Lee as mezzala, Zaire Emery as box to box, Barcola and Dembele as false 9.
    There is no more classic playmaker since quite a long time, now there is no more forward/striker and no more defensive midfielders.
