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. Hallin 08-Aug-08 22:39 guest 86.41.37.183 Better known as 3-3-1-3 or a modified 3-4-3 with the middle four as a diamond. Very Dutch in origin. Pioneered by Van Gaal. 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 22-Mar-09 14:59 guest 62.172.59.90 just love this site- used by Ajax ( with danny blind, de boer brothers - overmars etc- good system 04-Jun-09 10:28 guest 93.198.190.81 Germany won the EC 1972 and the WC 1974 by using this lineup. It can be very ofensiv or extremely defnsiv. The CMs got a lot of work i both directions. 18-Jun-09 22:19 nikolas Alternative attacking formation... Very rare in modern football... Guus Hiddink s PSV played it in victory over milan 1-0... 10-Mar-10 11:14 eccy Melbourne Victory use this system in Australia and it s gotten them to the Final! Good for both attacking and counter attacking.
