Galliani: "Allegri has done a good job in changing the tactical set-up. We will continue with the 4-3-3 formation next season."
Galliani: "Allegri will also be here next season. And all our youth teams will play in the 4-3-3 formation."


As I had stated earlier, 4312 is dead and 433 is the new modern system being used by more and more clubs.


I find it funny how Ajax have always been ahead of the game. They've been using that for the last 15 years. Barcelona implemented their fundamentals as well. It really shows.

Speaking of which, I like the 4-3-3 because it is a formation that offers a lot of flexibility as opposed to the others. The traditional 4-3-1-2 is a bit too transparent in it's intentions and needs top top players to make it work. It's not like in our glory days under Carlo, our gameplay was surprising.

Everyone knew what to expect, but when you have Seedorf, Pirlo, Rui Costa, Sheva and Pippo in one team gunning for you, and Rino,Cafu, Stam, Maldini and Nesta in your face, there is f_ck all you can do.

The other CB will most likely be Mascherano. I don't know how that can work... Will they use Alves and Alba on the attacking wing? Or will they just go their usual 3 in midfield and then just lump Iniesta, Messi, Villa and Pedro up front?

I don't think they can do much about Pazzini since he's basically constantly in their faces because he'll most likely drop as deep as he did at San Siro... And Mascherano will end up pushing up into midfield anyway so it would look very strange.

Personally I don't think Barca will change much. They still have their pass pass pass style and they'll stick to it. The only things we might see is Villa coming in for Cesc, or maybe even Tello playing. Can't see Sanchez starting as he's be awful lately for them
