LET 'S TALK ABOUT TACTICS!

 

Deep analysis

 

The 3-4-3 tactical system

 

A formation that, despite being offensive, is very balanced:

Of the things that evolved in football, in my opinion, the most were tactics. Among the most popular formations today is the 3-4-3 tactic.

In this edition of  “Let's talk about tactics” we are going to see the key aspects of this tactic:

 

How does the 3-4-3 tactical system work?

 

The 3-4-3 tactical system is based on the idea that the team must have many players in attack to generate a number of goal situations. Next, we are going to study the positions and roles of each one within this formation

 

Defenders (3):

The three defenders are located in the center of the defense.

The central defender is the LEADER and is the most important player in this position.

The other two defenders act as support to the central defender and tend to have a more offensive role than what we usually expect from central defenders, which having few defenders can be either very good or very bad.

 

Midfielders (4):

The four midfielders are divided into two central players and two wide players.

Central midfielders control the center of the field and maintain possession of the ball.

Wide players create attacking options and support defenders in marking.

 

Forwards (3):

The three forwards are the most important element in the formation since it is an "offensive" formation.

The central forward leads the attack and is the key player to create scoring opportunities. In many tactics called the "ram", he is in charge of holding up the central defenders, of hitting balls thrown at him from below and distributing the ball, he is like a Pivot and must be a strong player with a lot of physicality and a lot of craftsmanship.

 

The other two forwards act as support to the central forward and also have a prominent offensive role. They tend to go more on the wings. It is important that they have a lot of technique and a lot of speed, that they have an explosion in the last quarter of the field and that they have a lot of surprise keys.



Let's study the STRENGTHS and WEAKNESSES OF THE 3-4-3:



Strengths of the 3-4-3 tactical system:

 

🔸Large number of players in attack: This formation offers many scoring options in a short period of time, which can change the result of the match.

 

🔸Flexibility: The 3-4-3 allows you to adapt to different situations during the game.

 

🔸Control of the midfield: The four midfielders provide stability and control in that area.

 

🔸Pressure in the attack: High pressure makes it difficult for the opponent to get the ball out.

 

🔸Defensive balance and attacking opportunities: The combination of defenders, midfielders and forwards creates a balance between defense and attack.



Weaknesses of the 3-4-3 tactical system:

 

🔸Requires quality and team cohesion: The success of this tactic depends on the skill and understanding of the players.

 

🔸Vulnerability on the sides: With only three defenders, the sides can be exposed.

 

🔸Requires versatile midfielders: Midfielders must be able to defend and attack efficiently.



Now let's look at some of the most relevant teams that have used the 3-4-3 tactic:

 

🔸Chelsea FC:

 

During the 2016-2017 season, under the direction of Antonio Conte, Chelsea FC used the 3-4-3 tactic with great success. They won the English Premier League and showed how this formation can be effective both in defense and attack.

 

🔸FC Barcelona:

 

In the 1990s, under the direction of Johan Cruyff, FC Barcelona adopted the 3-4-3 formation. This team stood out for its offensive style of play and its ability to control the ball. The 3-4-3 tactic was a fundamental part of their success at that time.

 

🔸Ajax Amsterdam:

 

Ajax Amsterdam in the 70s also used the 3-4-3 tactic. Under the leadership of Rinus Michels, this Dutch team revolutionized football with its attacking approach and emphasis on ball possession. The 3-4-3 formation was one of the keys to their characteristic playing style.



Conclusion 

 

The 3-4-3 tactical system is a powerful tool in the hands of bold coaches. Its intelligent use can make the difference in key matches. However, it is not the only valid tactic; other formations such as the 4-3-3 also have their place in modern football. Ultimately, the choice of tactic must be tailored to the team, the players available and the context of the match. I personally celebrate the tactical diversity that enriches the game and the sport!

NEW ACHIEVEMENTS (PART 3)

 

Hello, this is Matushevsky!

 

This is the third week of analyzing the profitability of new tasks. So far, it looks promising - there is profit for players. Today I will look at tasks in the CARDS category. Unfortunately, Fame Points are very difficult to convert into credits, so at the stage of analyzing daily tasks I will rely only on them, and at the end in the summary I will try to determine the value of these tasks in credits.

 

Tasks in the CARDS category:

 

1/ EXCHANGE ANY CARD COLLECTION- here we gain 500 energy every day, but considering that collections can be exchanged only one time in a season, fulfilling this task beyond the 15th day is very difficult, and the last days are almost unrealistic, therefore it will also be very difficult to complete the COMPLETE 4/4 ACHIEVEMENTS FROM THE GROUP “CARDS” and the seasonal task. Returning to my previous articles, the value of the 30 cheapest collections is 19,300 Fame Points. The profit from this task is 15,000 energy.

 

Let's assume that every day each player can receive and open 3 packs of cards. So he opens 90 packs of cards per month. Out of 90 packs, we can assume that we will get 3 gold cards, 7 red cards, about 50 green cards, 170 blue cards and 220 gray cards. This gives us 4,190 Fame Points when exchanged. Of course, packs can contain cards necessary to collect a collection, so let's assume that we will use half of the cards to exchange them for  collection. The cost of the above task decreases to 9,650 Fame Points. Therefore, we also have about 2,100 Fame Points left per month (the average profit from a Card Pack is 50 Fame Points).

 

2/ SELL 5 COMMON/3 ENCHANTED/1 RARE CARD FOR FAME POINTS - I assume that this task can be completed by every conscientious player by opening the packages they receive for meals or style in the match. The rewards are 75, 150 and 250 energy, so over the course of a month we earn 14,250 energy.

 

3/ CREATE 1/2/3 CARDS - the minimum cost of creating 3 cards is 90 Fame Points. From the previous task, we receive about 40 Fame Points per day, so we need to add 50 Fame Points per day. Monthly, 1,500 Fame Points with a profit of 14,250 energy.

 

4/ ENCHANT 1/2/3/ CARDS - the minimum cost is 90 Fame Points per day, or 2,700 per month. Profit - 14,250 energy.

 

5/ COMPLETE 4/4 ACHIEVEMENTS FROM THE GROUP “CARDS”- This task gives us additional 100 Fame Points per day and 1 Card Pack every day. A total of 3,000 Fame Points and 30 Card Packs. As I calculated earlier, 30 Card Packs equals approximately an additional gain of 1,500 Fame Points.

 

So it's time to summarize:

On the cost side, we have: 9650 Fame Points, 1500 Fame Points, 2700 Fame Points.

On the profit side, we have: 2,100 Fame Points, 3,000 Fame Points, 1,500 Fame Points and a total of 57,750 energy.

 

Additionally, in this category we have a seasonal task:

 

1/ COMPLETE THE ENTIRE DAILY ACHIEVEMENT "LEGENDARY CARD SHARK" (ALL LEVELS) X TIMES A SEASON - I assumed earlier that we complete all tasks to the maximum level. So we receive the rewards:

🔸200 Fame Points

🔸300 Fame Points

🔸500 Fame Points

🔸1 random epic card - worth 900 Fame Points

🔸1 random legendary card - worth 3200 Fame Points.

 

The cost is therefore: 7250 Fame Points - 5100 Fame Points = 2150 Fame Points, i.e. the equivalent of 43 Card Packs. Assuming that a pack of cards costs 150 credits, our total cost of completing these tasks is approximately 6,450 credits.

The profit is therefore: 57,750 energy is the equivalent of 231 energy packages, the value of each is approximately 30 credits, so the total profit is 6,930 credits.

 

To sum up - completing all the tasks gives you a profit of 480 credits. It looks quite modest, but remember that for the purposes of this task we exchanged 30 card collections and received 30 different rewards for them. So the profit is quite large. A module for players? It seems that we are gaining profits in each of the three categories so far.

LEAGUE TEAMS. SEASON 16

 

Greetings everyone. 

 

Season 16 has ended. Therefore, this article will summarize the results and determine the best players who, based on statistics, will join the League team. A few words about the rules. The choice of strikers will be based on the number of goals scored, midfielders on the number of assists, defenders on the number of interventions. And the best goalkeepers will be determined by the coefficient, which is calculated as the ratio of the number of goals conceded / minutes played as a goalkeeper. But everyone knows that the number of interventions does not always reflect the true contribution of the defender to the success of the team. Therefore, 1 defender will be selected for the most interventions, and 2 more defenders will be selected for the highest OVR at the time of writing. In this case, it's April 20. The formation of players on the field is 3-4-3. It is possible that some of the players will have changed clubs by the time the Sports Journal is published. Let's go.

 

SuperLeague:

 

Let's start with the selection of forwards. I think everyone has noticed that the performance of the players has increased in the Super League. And in season 16, Patrickkk became the best forward, who showed incredible efficiency and scored 102 goals. Previously, 5-7 seasons ago, the forwards scored about 60-70 goals. Next, we will include Parmigiano Reggiano and EXIT, which have 54 and 29 heads, respectively.

Now let's make up the middle line of the best midfield players. Mazotik has the largest number of assistants - 38 assistants. ZYX (24 assists), SkibaK and Mokasyn, who each had 19 assists, also had a great season.

MrDot, which has 86 interventions, must be put in defense. Matushevsky US (OVR 9633) and Leonard Skinner (OVR 9498) will also be useful to strengthen the protection of our team.

Well, Gianluigi Buffon, who became the best goalkeeper in the Super League, has to defend the goal. Number of conceded goals/minutes played as the goalkeeper 0,0076.

And Acziwment (OVR 6868), who also had a great season, will take the place of the reserve goalkeeper.

That's how the Super League team turned out.

 

 

1.League:

 

Let's analyze the statistics of the players playing in the 1st Leagues.

And let's also start with the selection of forwards. All our forwards had a great season and scored more than 100 goals. Ilyaspace became the best, with 106 goals scored. Karondor has 105 goals and Nejmaro has 101 goals.

Among the midfielders, it is worth highlighting Thickus Junior, who completed 48 assists and became the best in this indicator. Pedrito (45 assists), Fiszu (41 assists) and Deimos (40 assists) should also be included in the midfield line. With such a midfield, the team will win a lot of trophies without any problems.

Lucas Ferrari was the best in terms of the number of interventions. He has 78 interventions. And for reliability, we need to include Mehrubon Esoiyon (OVR 3950) and Chimera (OVR 3267) in our line of defense, which will be able to deter attacks by forwards.

It remains to choose a reliable goalkeeper. And here the choice is quite obvious. An outstanding season was spent by the goalkeeper of Vado, who managed to leave his goal intact at the end of the 16th season. No one has managed to score a single goal for this goalkeeper. Bravo. This is a rather rare achievement. And here it is necessary to note not only the goalkeeper, but also the midfield and defense line, which are very strong in the BAVOVNA club. 

And the reserve goalkeeper will be Lei Li (OVR 2974), who is also very reliable and defends his goal superbly.

The League 1 team is ready.

 

 

Good luck and wins to all in the new '17 season.

THE END OF THE SIXTEENTH SEASON

 

Good afternoon dear readers of the magazine, I welcome you to the new issue. The sixteenth season ended this Saturday, which means that the new season starts all over again. I'm writing this article in the off-season and I still don't know what happened by the end of the day and what changes in the line-ups occurred, and you'll find out about it all before this article comes out, but this article is not about it. In this article, we will close the sixteenth season and, as always, conclude with the finals of the International Champions Cup and the European Championship. Sit back and enjoy reading the article to you.

 

We start from the European Championship, where representatives of the German first League club BAVOVNA and representatives of the Super League club Bella Ciao met in the final.

Both clubs approached the match with great seriousness and responsibility to win the long-awaited trophy this season. But unfortunately the match turned out not to be as expected and there was no strong struggle between these clubs. The BAVOVNA club tried to approach the opponent's penalty area and shoot at the goal, but unfortunately all attempts were blocked by the opponent's defenders and during the entire match the BAVOVNA club was unable to hit the opponent's goal. In turn, the Bella Ciao club scored two goals in the first half and also two in the second. The club Bella Ciao won with a score of 0:4.

 

Let's move on to the most interesting final of the International Champions Cup. The final confrontation between RedBull Fighters and Public Enemies. Both clubs gave their best before the maximum and plugged in all their possible bonuses in the match. As expected, it was a life-and-death match and no player wanted to give up the flap of the field for the opponent. The match turned out to be funny and the main time ended with a score of 4:4 and mi went into extra time. When everyone was already waiting for the penalty shootout, at the end of overtime, the club Public Enemies were able to drive the winning ball into the opponent's goal, which gave them the opportunity to take the cup this season.

 

At this point, I conclude the article about the final matches of the International Champions Cup and the European Championship. Congratulations to the winners and I wish everyone more cups and, of course, that they could defend the trophy next season. I wish the losers in the final not to get upset, but to swing and in the next season you will have another chance to take the long-awaited trophy to yourself. I also wish every reader good luck next season and more victories for you. Thank you all for reading the article, I hope you enjoyed it.

IL TORO AWAKENED


How do you find yourself in the football community?

 

Firstly, I would like to introduce myself. I am Fábio Muri, a new journalist who intends to inform and entertain you with my texts throughout the next editions of the newspaper.

 

In this week's article, we will talk about Torino FC, a well-known club founded in 1906, which was already the biggest Italian team in the 1940s, nicknamed Touro Unbeatível, which had players such as Mazzola, Gabetto, Menti, Loik, Ballarin and Rigamonti in the squad. Hegemony that lasted until May 4 1949, at 5:05 pm, the Fiat G.212 plane carrying the Grená team, the coaching staff and some journalists returned to Italy, after losing a friendly match in Lisbon by the score 4:3 for Benfica, crashed into the Basilica of Superga, near Turin. Nobody survived. The club was never able to recover from this tragic page in its football history.

 

 

The first organized Torino FC fan base was created in 1951 and was called "Gruppo Sostenitori Granata"

 

The club plays its games at the Grande Torino Olympic Stadium, an architectural highlight in Italy, designed to accommodate more than 28,000 spectators. Its main rival is Juventus Football Club, also based in Turin

 

But now in the present, a novelty in this 17th season of the European Football Team Game server, Torino FC will return to the pitch, now under the administration of the new recently elected president Fábio Muri, and has brought to command the squad, the competent assistant coach  ueslei Felipe da Silva with his winning 3-1-4-2 formation, promising full strength, after a period of ostracism, to compete in the German 3B League and https://en.footballteamgame.com/games/country/GER/ German National Cup.

To be successful in the reconstruction process, the traditional Italian team invested a lot to form a good squad, signing players from 2A champion  Santa Cruz and Paraná FC who played in German League 1 and were relegated.

Highlights in the squad include striker  Mike88, midfielders Dimitry Payet 88 and  Diego Gaucho, goalkeeper Luan, defender Valentin Hashtag and defender midfielder Lucas Leiva.

 

 

After four seasons played, the Torino FC team's statistics are quite discouraging: 8 wins, 15 draws and 101 defeats. There were 40 goals scored and 100 conceded.

 

But the fan's passion goes beyond successes and failures, according to these verses of the club's anthem:

 

Siamo il popolo granata

We are the Granata people

E non solo allá partita

And not just at the match

Solo Toro sempre Toro Cuore Toro

Only Taurus always Taurus Heart Taurus

Solo Toro sempre Toro cuore Toro

Only Taurus always Taurus Heart Taurus

 

May the season be successful for the club on this return and for Il Toro fans, watch great matches, victories, goals and perhaps celebrate a title.

See you next time, guys!

THE EVOLUTION OF REGULATIONS CONCERNING PLAYERS AND THEIR ATTIRE

 

As football has evolved, regulations regarding players and their attire have undergone significant changes. In this subsection, we will discuss the evolution of regulations related to players as well as their attire, which have influenced the shape of modern football.

 

At the very beginning, the number of players in a football team was not uniform and depended on local traditions and conditions. However, with the establishment of the FA and the publication of the Cambridge Rules, the number of players in a team was set at 11. Establishing a fixed number of players allowed for greater standardization of the game and a better understanding of the roles of individual players on the field.

 

The introduction of the possibility of substituting players on the field initiated further significant changes in player regulations. In 1958, at the FIFA World Cup, the option of making one substitution due to injury was introduced for the first time. In the following years, the rules evolved, allowing for a greater number of substitutions and the introduction of tactical substitutions. Currently, teams are allowed three substitutions during a match, enabling coaches to dynamically adjust their game strategy.

 

In the early years of football, player uniforms were often non-uniform, and their appearance depended on local customs and the availability of materials. With the development of the sport, football kits became more uniform, and regulations regarding attire began to be introduced.

 

Football kits must meet certain requirements, such as distinguishing team colors and displaying players' numbers and names on the shirts. Additionally, football kits must be made from materials that provide thermal comfort, which affects the performance of players on the field. In recent years, growing environmental awareness has also led to the introduction of kits made from recycled materials.

 

As football became increasingly competitive, greater attention was paid to player safety issues. Consequently, regulations regarding attire also began to include protective elements, such as shin guards. Initially, shin guards were not mandatory, but in 1990, thanks to the International Football Association Board (IFAB), they became a requirement for players on the field, reducing the risk of injury.

 

Another significant element of football attire that has impacted player safety is footwear. Regulations regarding football footwear have evolved, introducing restrictions on the material from which studs are made, as well as requirements regarding their length and sharpness. Such regulations aim to reduce the risk of injuries caused by contact with other players. Interestingly, over the past few decades, unified footwear for the entire team has been abandoned, allowing each player the freedom to choose footwear that fits the anatomy and physiology of their foot; only the construction of studs remains under control.



I hope you enjoyed the above article. If you are interested in other football-related facts or refereeing, feel free to evaluate and share your thoughts in the comments.

With sporting regards,

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE QUARTER FINALS SUMMARY

 

FC Barcelona vs Paris Saint-Germain F.C. 

 

It was clear from the start that FC Barcelona's clash with PSG would be one of the most interesting if not the most interesting quarter-final. Both teams were struggling with their problems. The first match ended with the team from Catalonia winning 2:3. However, this, as it turned out later, was not very important. The second match started with the Catalans scoring a goal. In the 29th minute, Ronald Araújo fouled his opponent when he ran in with a great chance to score. The Uruguayan was immediately punished with a red card. Already then it was clear that the Spanish team would have to defend. This, however, as it turned out, was very difficult. Already in the 40th minute, former Barcelona player Ousmane Dembélé scored a goal, followed by Vitinha and twice by Mbappé. PSG advanced by winning the two-match series 6-4.



Atlético Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund

 

The first match of this two-match series ended with a score of 2:1 for the Madrid team. Already in the 4th minute, De Paul opened the score in the 32nd by Lino. When it seemed that the match was about to end in the 81st minute of the match Haller hit the goal. BVB started the second match in the best way they could. From the very beginning, they tried to hit the visitors' goal. In the 34th minute, Brandt succeeded in doing so. Only 5 minutes later, Maatsen scored again. In the 49th minute, Hummels scored, but not in his own goal. 15 minutes later, in the 64th minute, Correa scored a goal. In the decisive moment of the match, Füllkrug scored a goal. The match is now in its 71st minute at 4-4, and surprisingly Sabitzer scores four minutes later. Although the Madrid team tried to equalise, they failed to do so. The match is now over. BVB wins 5-4!

 

Real Madrid vs Manchester City F.C.

 

We come to a really interesting juxtaposition. Nothing was certainly obvious in this match. Two very strong teams were facing each other. In the first match, Silva scored a goal in the 2nd minute. On the other hand, already in the 12th minute a suicide goal was scored by Dias and in the 14th minute by Rodrygo. There was a long stoppage time, but in the 66th minute Foden scored and 5 minutes later in the 71st minute Gvardiol scored. We did not have to wait long for the next goal and the last one of the match. Valverde scored in the 79th. In the second match, Rodrygo scored in the 12th minute. We waited a long time for an answer but it came in the 76th minute through Kevin De Bruyne. There were no more goals in regulation time. Overtime was needed, but there were no goals either. Only the penalty shootout decided the match. After the round of one (4-3) Real Madrid advanced to the quarterfinals.

 

Arsenal F.C. vs FC Bayern München

 

We move on to the final quarter-final. In the first match between the Londoners and the Bavarians it was very interesting. Already in the 12th minute, Bukayo Saka scored the opening goal. Just six minutes or until minute 18 we had to wait for Gnabry's reply. We had a moment of calm and in the 32nd minute a penalty kick was taken advantage of by Kane. Just when it looked like the match would end with this result, Leonardo Trossard scored in the 76th minute. After this match, it was clear that everything would become clear in the match to be played in Germany. The second match was lightly controlled by Bayern but Arsenal also had their opportunities. The outcome of the match, however, was decided by what happened in the 63rd minute. That's when Joshua Kimmich scored. No more goals were scored in this match. Bayern won the double-header by the score of 3-2.
