Fm Boss Tactics Book FM Boss Tactical Guide Analysis of FM Boss Tactics 2012 4-1-3-2 of Cesare Prandelli Updated for FM 2012 The Reborn of Italian National Team Fratelli d'Italia, l'Italia s'e desta... Brother of Italy, Italy woke up... These are the first words of the Italian National Anthem. One country, 4 world cups numerous friends and enemies. But one thing the nobody can deny is the masterclass of Italian Coaches. Excellent in tactics, always extremely well prepared team and above all intelligence and flexibility. The last representative of the big Italian Coaching School is Claudio Cesare Prandelli. An ex player of Juventus, he played under the guidance of legendary Giovanni Trapattoni, winning recognition and trophies. A real fighter, despite he lost his wife in 2007 he continues to have the same desire and ambition for the game. Born in Orzinuovi in 19.8.1957 he was always the most hard working player in every club that he played. Outside of the pitch he is always smiley and humble. The Italian football federation after two failed choices trusted him till 2014. The immature experiments of Donadoni and the old time classic stubbornness of Lippi are over. Cesare keeps his nose down, he is not selling magic ideas and he is trusting a standard squad. He gives always chances to in-form players but he keeps on mind that Squadra Azzura represents whole nation so he needs to be serious and concentrated on what he does. He never speaks for the past and he rarely comments or compares opponents. Like we said before... humble and hard working. He is trusting mostly young ambitious players and he is not afraid of make them protagonists by giving them responsibilities and tough duties. He is aware of the challenges and he knows to handle with them. Cesare Prandelli worked in the bankrupted Parma and Venezia, he persuaded Della Valle (Fiorentina's boss) that football is not buy and spend and he persuaded Italian Federation that a "football circle" in a national team is from World Cup to World Cup and not from competition to competition. No doubt, iron willed. Now he needs to make the results to be equally impressive. In his new Italy, he removed all the problematic players with irrational behavior. Its not code of ethics, it's a matter of professionalism. Balotelli, Cassano, Legrotagglie, Miccoli and others are simply not normal people. They are not able to accept roles, rules and generally they cannot be members of a competitive group. Maybe Cassano has become more mature but he remains an explosive Italian from south Italy. So Prandelli needs to have alternative options. Giuseppe Rossi, Montolivo, Marchisio, Bonucci, Ranochia and many other players have the chance to be key players in the group and yes, Italy after 3-4 years seems to be a group again. Fancy sun burn tourists are over. Training schedules are organized, team plan is working and generally you see that team is working like a proper top club. Finally... Prandelli is not a wizard. He is using tight marking, he gives creative freedom in Montolivo, he allows Cassano and Rossi to exchange positions and to swap roles, his back-line is solid, resolute and they play quite simple. The lines are close and you rarely see gaps and his 4-1-3-2 is becoming easily 4-3-3 or 4-3-2-1. He has teach this formation exemplary so you hardly can see disorganization in the pitch. Criscito(DL), Bonnuci, Chiellini (DC), Montolivo (DMC/AMC), De Rossi, Marchisio, Mauri or Pirlo are his basic options. Rossi and Cassano upfront. It doesn't seem impressive but what is not popular became after some time top hit. Try and you will not miss. My results were very good, excellent defense, very solid attack and just to tell you that in 20 games I conceded just 4 goals. In all of my teams, I was rarely conceding goals. I was conceding 1 goal every 7-8 games. That was my record. 4-2-3-1 of Rene Girard for FM 2012 The hottest tactic for Football Manager 2012. Transform a relegation battling club into a top class side. They have brake our balls the last two years with PSG. The new heavy rich yankees who want to dominate football by purchasing everything. Unfortunately for American minded investors who have Arabian origins, the word "knowledge" is very crucial as well. You need to have apart from big wallet, big knowledge about football. As I can see, the fact that they leave the control to the ex-playboy footballer Leonardo says everything. This person tried to make AC Milan a brazilian carnival and transformed Inter into a zoggler sided team. Not just this, they overpaid Sirigu and Pastore like they bought Schmeichel and Maradona respectively. Money laundring and ridiculous decisions in total. They fired Kombouare for no reason and they hired Ancelotti who won only one Scudetto in 8 years with AC Milan. Galliani admitted that they were keeping Carletto because he was a close friend with most of players and mostly with Berlusconi. Galliani admitted all of these before Carlo moves to Chelsea. Ancelotti had for years some of the best midfielders of the world. Despite he won Champions League twice Milan never was consistent and they suffered from minnows team constantly. The last example but most recent was the Cagliari of Maximiliano Allegri which over played Milan in-out. Home and Away. Allegri stated after the two matches, it wasn't so difficult to outclass a predictable over-aged team. Now Carletto signed his last luxury contract. The fools will never die. Our hero in this Article is RENE GIRARD. A humble person, hard working who is closing mouths every weekend the last 3 years. Since he took over Montpellier in the summer of 2009 he managed to transform a relegation battling club into a top class side which is able to play top quality football without having expensive overrated footballers. Girard is showing to all the pseudo experts that working hard in trainings and having regular squad is more important than paying newspapers. I will post you all the results of Montpellier because maybe some people will wake up from dreams. Girard is showing to every football observer that when you are methodic, open minded and on the ground, you don't afraid anybody. He formed a stable defence without having top players, he uses two hard working midfielders and upfront he uses all his talented footballers. Jourden - Badimo as attacking left back - Bocaly plays right back and third stopper - two DC Stamboulli and Yanga-Mbiwa are always sweeper of eachother. The two MC are Marveux and Estrada. We go now upfront to the nuclear weapons : Utaka, Belhada, Cabella. All of these are moving constantly, the exchange positions and upfront the reference point of the attacking efforts : Girourd. All these players improved at least 50% under Girard. See them 2-3 years ago. Totally different players who have now personality and self confidence. The president of Montpellier announced that his team now has 3 times higher value since Girard took over in 2009. If this is not enough, no more words... Leave the other well paid liars journalists to promote their own guys as top coaches. History never says lies. Montpellier is writing history this season. Others, try to purchase history... Montpellier Matches for season 2011-12 4-3-1-2 of AC Milan The winning formula of Allegri I think we can all agree that the hiring of Allegri gave to Milan a chance to breathe a collective sigh of relief, but with his hiring now comes a myriad of unanswered questions regarding the team, formation and personnel. I don’t want to portray the hiring of Allegri as a negative by any means; in fact I am excited to have a young and innovative tactician at the helm to instill fresh ideas during the rebuilding of the team. My concerns are actually rooted in his system of play and the player’s available to implement the 4-3-1-2. When I first look at the roster of the team the last formation I really think of is the 4-3-1-2. The formation calls for a CAM play maker who can check into the midfield to receive the ball, turn, face play and make the pass or run that the two strikers can thrive off of. At this point outside of Seedorf there is no one who has ever really played in that role, let alone be successful. The CAM also has to have an element of grit in order to be able to stop the opposing DM or CM from having a carte blanche at the midfield line, at this point the dream #10 is Wesley Sneijder and while I have no doubt in my mind a player can found to fill that void the question becomes who and how much are Fester and Co. willing to play for such a pivotal position? The midfield three in this formation actually operate very similarly to the midfield in Carletto’s XMAS tree so in that sense we have the perfect fit, but then the issue becomes width. We can certainly count on Antonini to be a viable option next season on the right or left, he has earned that much, but the question then becomes where do we find the other back? Allegri didn’t neccesarily call for that type of width at Cagliari, probably because due to lack of personnel, but offenses become exponentially more dangerous when the full backs add numbers to the attack, forcing defenders and midfielders out of position to cover their deep runs.

  • Germans Blast Capello Over International Recruitment Comments
    Fabio Capello's recruitment comments not shared | Mail Online Pagina 1 Germans blast Capello over international recruitment comments By John Edwards Last updated at 7:32 PM on 30th December 2011 Fabio Capello was accused of getting his facts wrong and misunderstanding immigration on Friday as the German Federation hit back angrily at claims they were recruiting players by unfair means. Federation bosses reacted with dismay to the England manager's criticism of the way players from a Turkish background, such as Real Madrid's Mesut Ozil, have found their way into the Germany team. Still hurting: Fabio Capello dejected as England lose to Germany In an outspoken speech to an international sport conference in Dubai, the Italian claimed it was an unethical trend and called on UEFA president Michel Platini to halt the talent drain from poorer countries. Heritage question: Mesut Ozil He demanded football's rulers end the 'theft of talent' that goes on between national teams. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2080424/Fabio-Capellos-recruitment-comments-shared.... 17/01/2012 Fabio Capello's recruitment comments not shared | Mail Online Pagina 2 But Federation sporting director Matthias Sammer insisted Germany were blameless and that Capello had failed to grasp how immigrants settling there deserved equal opportunities. Ozil was born in Gelsenkirchen, as a third-generation immigrant, and although his World Cup team-mates Lukas Podolski and Miroslav Klose were born in Poland, they moved to Germany as small children. 'Immigration is a social development that we react to in a proper way and I can assure Capello that we never entice players away from other countries,' said Sammer.
