Tactical Identity
4-2-3-1High PressAlt: 4-3-3In poss: 4-2-3-1 — two pivots deep, Kluivert/Adli free between lines, wide forwards stretch high, striker first target when ball is won to catch opposition unorganisedOut of poss: 4-4-2 mid-to-high press — front two and wingers form aggressive press unit, block passing lanes into opposition 6s, force wide or long ball
Intense gegenpressing, vertical attacking, Iraola's relentless intensity. Alex Scott and Kluivert in AM roles. Evanilson as the high-pressing striker. Adli and young Brazilian attackers providing wide threat.
Iraola's high-energy gegenpressing system remains the foundation. Heavy summer turnover with multiple key departures. Alex Scott (€40m from Bristol City) has established himself. Junior Kroupi and Rayan represent the new wave of Brazilian talent. Petrovic excellent in goal.
