1-4-3-3 Game Plan by Ruud Gullit PDF

Advantage of a 1-4-3-3 formation by Ruud Gullit

• The great advantage of a 1-4-3-3 formation is that you can play in groups of three all over the pitch, and you can link up from one trio to the next as you move forward.

• Working in trios makes it easy for the player with the ball because when it’s done right there are always two options to pass forward.

• This leaves defenders in a difcult situation since they have to make choices, and are constantly having to anticipate which direction the attack is heading in and where the trio are moving.

• The key to the combination is to pass the ball with the right pace and to the correct foot.
