How does the 4-2-3-1 formation work? This video explains how the double pivot protects the defence and controls possession, how the number 10 operates between the lines, and how the wingers, full-backs and striker create attacking options. We also look at how the shape can become a 4-1-4-1 in possession or a compact 4-5-1 out of possession. #FootballTactics #4231Formation #FootballCoaching
