The other team can \"split the seam\" with without being picked up by a central defender or midfielder. A 3-3-3-1 or 3-3-2-2 should resolve this issue.

Unlike Cruijff s 3-4-3 which had a considerably flatter and wider midfield. Van Gaal s variation allows a link man such as Van der Vaart to combine with the front three. Later copied by Marcelo Bielsa with Argentina and Chile. Simeone has tried it occassionally at River Plate | | | |
