The Return of the 4-4-2

A lot of spainish teams are useing 442

Gotta watch this vid multiple times to master a successful play towards anyone (fifa mobile wise) 😂

The history and tactics (mentioning the dwight yorke part was a plus) really respect this video, it was worth watching 🙏🏽

Can u do an explanation on how the coaches get along with tactics when they have players like Mbappe or others that don't take part in pressing.

It's the simplest formation to play for a team with limited talent, for low divisions or beginners. It's easy for beginners to stay or get back to their position. Just keep the line with so and so who knows the game. Goalie can't really kick the ball across the field and it always end in the middle. So control the middle and you control the game.

My favorite formation, brought me many career victories in Manager Mode on FIFA 15. The last great FIFA game. That first champions league with Sheffield United felt so sweet and brought to me all by the usage of the 4-4-2.

4-2-2 is so popular in Inazuma town, the crown champion of Football Frontier, Raimon starts using it. Although in Glodelania, the formation 4-3-3 is the most prepared one although the national team uses 3-4-1-2 instead.

That‘s literally how Real Madrid defended during their 3x Champions League run 2016-2018

Totally true, Southampton used it against city last season for example and pep talked about it

One can argue Bayern Munich played a sort of 442 during Müllers high times as a floating element around Lewandowski

Teams with more depth & sqaud opt to play 4 3 3 or 4 2 3 1, 4 4 2 would be 3rd option

They use 433 because its hard to find 2 good central midfielders.....a good pass can always bypass the pressing.....just think of then great players....gerrard scholes keane etc.....nowadays they consider pogba world class :)))

liverpool doesn’t push an 8 up with the striker, one winger drops and another presses with the central striker

This needs to be understood with respect to the change in the offside rule in 2005.
The rule change allowed players to be in an "offside" position but not interfering with play. This forced defensive lines deeper creating more space in the middle. Two men simply cannot cover that space anymore hence the need for three in midfield. And only on one striker. Look at any games from the 90s and the defences played much higher up with strikers looking to get in behind much more often.

433 welcome to holland

You have to thank Atletico

Argentina is also using 4 4 2 in this world cup ig

Morocco has been using this formation out of postion extremely well in the world cup, only conceded three goals in the whole tournament and two of them came in the semifinals.

the 4-4-2 by argentina is closer to a 4-3-2-1 formation
messi roams into the middle making this a 4-3-2-1 with Alvarez running front
