4-3-3 Interpretation Video

I love this video. Obviously not the only way to play or the only formation to use, but the simplicity of explanation is compelling. Of course, there are always questions:

Why would you use this formation over another?
How do you teach it?
When is this formation not ideal?
What type of players does this suit best?
What defense is best against it?
What is “Plan B”?

Still, for a soccer parent like myself, this is quality content, a small plank in my educational scaffolding.

And as an added bonus, now compare to this Barcelona analysis. Interesting, no?
