The
3-5-2 formations are used by teams whose players
know to work together. This lineup is slightly
more offensive than the 4-4-2. The defenders need
to communicate well, and the midfield has to be
included into defendeng a great deal. Details are
below
Sweeper
(SW)
In this formation, the sweeper needs absolute
control over the defenders. The communication
between the defenders has to be errorless, since
they are more likely to be outnumbered than the
4-4-2 defenders.
Stopper (ST) The stopper has more
responsibilty than usual. He does mark a forward,
but he also organizes the defense.
Left/Right Defenders (LD/RD)
Communication is the key to a happy marriage and a
stabile 3 men defense. These players should be
less active in offensive plays unless the
midfielders can fill in sufficiently.
Left/Right Centermidfielders (LC/RC)
Both centermidfielders play a defensive part in
this lineup. They cover for the centermidfielder
who leads the offensice plays, and at least one of
them functions as a defender when the ball is in
their own half.
Left/right Midfielders (LM/RM)
Need to call for the ball more than usual, since a
team with a central midfielder tends to drive the
ball up the middle rather than the outsides.
Centermidfielder (CM) This player
needs good ballhandling and passing skills, for he
has the control over the offensive plays,
distribution of the ball in the opponent's half,
and standard situations.
Forwards (F1/F2) One of these
should occasionally drop back to support the
centermidfielder. Other than that, the forwards'
assignment should be clear. |
