this formation provide large wing spaces for teams to utilize. also the distance could be drawn between the CAM and the target person (#9). therefore a fast #9 could be used very efficiently in 4-2-3-1.
france defeated brazil in 06 world cup with a 4-2-3-1.

| 05-Mar-08 01:02 guest 134.192.56.103 | | | This formation was used by Fabio Capello to win La Liga with Real Madrid, with Beckham and Robinho used as the wing players, and Emerson and Diarra as the holding middies. However, as told above, this formation is defensive and sometimes R Madrid resultingly played \"ugly\" football - and it seems that cost Capello his job. | | | |

| 10-Jun-08 07:03 guest 78.53.192.122 | | | The formation is not necessarily that defensive. Bayer Leverkusen used it in 07/08 and until their inexplicable breakdown in the last third of the season, they were among the teams with the most shots on goal in the league. | | | |

| 17-Jun-08 14:50 guest 190.55.85.7 | | | This formation is not defensive.
Argentina s team River Plate use this formation in the tournament. That team is now the champion.
One of the CM is really oriented to attack. In River, Ahumada was the CM, and Abelairas was like an LM.
The RB and LB usually go to attack. For example, in River, Ferrari y Villagra.
The FW is in that place to do the goal attempt. And the ST is in that place to do the goal when he search the goal.
The RM and LM are like a RW and LW. They acts as a wing in many situations. | | | |
