The big problem with this 3-4-3 is that for this formation requires very apt centre-backs and wing-backs. For example, the main holding defender, not only has to distribute passes like Ki, but also act as an enforcer to basically dominate any loose ball coming to our half, which Ki isn't that good at. The only player I can think of in AFC who can do that is Aaron Mooy. Then the other two CBs, they have to be pacey since their job is to cover for the wing backs on the counter, as well as doing their usual role, and given that our CBs can't even do their normal role, it makes no sense to do this. Lastly, for the WBs, we need pacey and attacking-minded players, but also have to be an absolute workhorse to get back and defend when called upon. We have noone like that. So, the verdict? Try this sh*t against cr*ppy SEA nations but not when it actually matters.
The irony of playing against Bosnia in a send off match again: 2006: Won 2-0 Tonight: Lost 1-3 against a jet-lagged Bosnian team whilst deploying the fcuking 3 back system.
When Australia was playing 3ATB we still drew with Thailand. Just AFC teams are not good enough for this formation.
I would just play a back 4 as we don't have the time to play a back 3. It's at least the formation the team is more comfortable in and more suite for SHM and KSY
Thank god we had Hiddink back in 2002. There were moments during the Cho Kwang-rae era where it seemingly looked good, especially with the rise of Hong Jeong-ho who was a potential libero option, but it was too good to be true. We not only lack defenders for 3ATB, but we also lack a manager who has the proper tactics and utilization.
Well, this should be a warning bell for a NT manager. Sure, in club football you can sign players to fit your tactics and philosophy. In NT, you have to do with what you have, you have accommodate and tailor tactics to the resources you have, not the other way around. Smh.
no tactics will solve our defensive issues, so we might as well try to surprise our opponents and score more than we condede
Try telling this to Shin Tae-yong, it will only end up going in one ear out the other. In fact logic does not compute with his brain.
Shitlike was no different, he thought he could magically turn us into Spain/Real Madrid/Barca with his useless possession football. It was hilarious watching Mourinho tell Nakata how useless having a high ball possession is when you're doing nothing worthy with it.
Yeah I suspect 10:00 AM KST as that is the usual time for making squad announcements. In 2010, Huh Jung-moo made the announcement right after the match with Ecuador ended.
Whats up with the 3 back shit? Japan also playes it now. Nishino uses Hasebe as a CB just as Shin uses Ki as a CB. Two great DM midfielders wrongly used. Man this is going to be shite. Only i miracle can save the asian teams. Or at least for SK and Japan..
