Brief summary of Tuchel’s favoured CM-profile. In Attack In attack, the role of Tuchel’s CM can be summed up to one word, distribution. As learnt in previous articles, Tuchel’s philosophy regardless of formation, manifests into a 3-4-3 diamond. This formation consists of 3 aspects: 1) a 3-2 base, 2) a midfield-4-diamond and 3) a wide front 3. As opposed to Tuchel’s DM, whose sole distributive responsibilities lay within the 3-2 base, Tuchel’s CMs’ distributive responsibilities lay within both the 3-2 base and midfield diamond. In simpler terms, Tuchel’s CMs must contribute in progression from both deep-lying (no.6) and advanced (no.8 and no.10) areas; making them the main distributors of Tuchel’s system.
Excellent article from Ryan Gunness.
Great article!
How does Gallagher's profile fit? Seems to have a bit of Kovacic, a bit of kante, and a bit of Mount?
