Maresca's 24/25 Chelsea 4231 dynamic possession system

This tactic abandons modified and exploited loopholes, focusing on restoring the logic of real football. It is suitable for players who pursue authenticity and tactical depth. It is recommended to combine targeted training with on-the-spot fine-tuning to gradually run it in to achieve the best state.

• **Ball Control Phase**:
  
  • The left full-back moves inwards to the defensive midfield area, forming a 3-2 build-up structure with the two central midfielders.
    
  • The right full-back pushes up significantly and widens on the wing. The four players in the frontline create local numerical superiority through horizontal position exchanges.
    
• **Defensive Phase**:
  
  • Quickly shift into a 4-4-2 formation. The two defensive midfielders protect the area in front of the penalty box, and the wingers drop back to block the opponent's wing attacks.
    

• **Three-axis Linkage**:
  
  • The inward-moving left full-back acts as the third central midfielder, forming a triangular passing network with the deep-lying playmaker and the defensive midfielder. After attracting the opponent's pressing, quickly switch the ball to the open space on the right side.
    
• **Right-wing Corridor**:
  
  • The right full-back and the right winger form a "crossing - finishing" connection. Focus on playing low and flat crosses into the penalty box. The attacking midfielder and the center-forward make crossing runs to disrupt the defensive positions.
    
• **Left Flank Penetration**:
  
  • The inward-moving left full-back attracts the defense. The left winger cuts inside to the flank area to receive the through ball, and the attacking midfielder seizes the opportunity to make a forward run to complete the finish.
    

• **Pressing Trap**:
  
  • Intentionally leave an open space on the wing to induce the opponent to play a long ball. Utilize the speed advantage of the central defenders to set an offside trap, and the two defensive midfielders are ready to intercept the horizontal passing routes at any time.
    
• **Zonal Marking Defense**:
  
  • The wingers drop back to form the first line of defense with the full-backs. The attacking midfielder retreats to block the opponent's defensive midfielder's passing options, creating a four-layer defensive depth.
    

• Change the left winger to an inside forward (in attack).
  
• Adjust the game pace to a slower one and increase the short passes in the area in front of the penalty box.

• Reduce the role of the right full-back to "Support" and decrease the frequency of forward runs.
  
• Change the defensive line depth to "Standard".
  
• Assign both defensive midfielders the "Defensive" role.

• Switch the mentality at the 75th minute and set "Time Wasting" to "Often".
  
• Substitute one winger and add a "Ball-winning Midfielder" role.
  
• Change the passing style to "Many Short Passes", ban through balls, and play more passes into open spaces.

• Conceding more than 1.5 goals from counter-attacks per game → Check the speed of the central defenders and the positioning of the two defensive midfielders.
  
• Expected Goals (xG) < 1.8 → Check whether "Attempt to Play the Ball into the Penalty Box" is enabled.

• Right Full-back: High-intensity back-and-forth running ability (Crossing/Stamina/Work Rate).
  
• Deep-lying Playmaker: Accurate long passes (Vision/Passing/Decision Making).
  
• Center-forward: Finishing ability in front of goal (Off-the-ball Movement/Anticipation/Composure).

• When failing to break through after a long period of attack: Manually cancel the inward movement of the left full-back and attack the wing forcefully.
  
• When in a stalemate: Push the attacking midfielder up to the frontline to play a two-striker formation and disrupt the defense.

• Pre-season: Ball Control Tactics + Team Coordination.
  
• During the season: Defensive Positioning + Set-piece Attack and Defense.

- Strong ball control stability, diverse combinations of wing and central attacks, and significantly effective in suppressing technical teams.

• High dependence on players' tactical execution ability (especially the two full-backs).
  
• Vulnerable to long-ball counter-attacks when the central defenders lack speed.
