TEAM SETUP

5-4-1 vs Korea 5-3-2 vs Australia

Basic setup is 5-3-2 or 5-4-1 with 3 center backs and 2

wing backs. Against Korea, one striker was employed,

supported by 2 wide midfielders while Australia found

more space in Oman’s midfield (one CM replaced by

an extra attacker) and they bypassed Oman’s midfield

(under-loaded) with ease.

Pressing: Two pressing groups (front 5 and back 5),

often isolated due to lack of coordination. If the front 5

players push higher, the back 5 won’t follow and push

higher. They would drop back( if an 1-2 opponent

player is around them). This led to gaps in b/w defence

and midfield. The CM in 5-3-2 will often be in 1v2 or

1v3 situation centrally (yellow region) and this led to

constant pressure onto their defence.

Their main weakness was when they go from a low

defensive block to medium defensive block, where their

5 attackers would get isolated from the other 5 and the

opposition would still have 3-4 attackers in the

attacking third, causing a unbalanced situation for

Oman.

SITUATION.

Korea and Australia both used slow build-up from the back,

forcing Oman to push higher up the pitch (trap). The slow

build-up allowed rotational movements, which further

disrupted Oman. Once the 3 Oman CB’s are isolated from

their 2 WBs, a penetrative pass (long or short) was played

against Oman. In this moment, 3v3 in the Oman defence,

with 2 more opposition attackers joining later as Oman

WB’s fall back to defend(making 5v5).

The penetrative pass (to bypass Oman midfield) was

different from Korea and Australia (since Oman used

different systems against them). If Oman played 5-4-1, the

penetrative pass would be a long ball to the attacker with

No 3 CB (attacking central). If 5-3-2 was used instead, the

gap in the central midfield (yellow region 2v1), would be

used with a short pass into the region would initiate an

opposition attack.

Constant ball circulation(recycling possession in defensive

and middle third) against Oman proved effective rather

than an direct approach(their defenders were effective

against defending aerial balls than ground passes).

PENETRATIVE PASS - SHORT PASS

D%20DRAGGED%202.avi?dl=0

Korea used 2 different traps to force the Oman

midfield to become flat in midfield to provide an

opening for a penetrative pass to attack.

Example 1: The player with the ball makes a

pass 1 to the player near to the Oman midfield.

This triggers the Oman midfield 7, 8, 12 to press

to win the ball. The 2nd

pass forces the Oman

midfield to fall flat and the 3rd

pass breaks the

midfield line and Korean player ( who has

dropped back) collects the pass and completes

the initiation phase.

Example 2: The Oman front 5 players are in a

polygon shape in midfield and are in their

defensive block. The midfielder 8 is man-man

marking the Korean player. The Korean player

drops back to receive a pass. This forces 8 to

follow him. No 12 doesn’t provide support to 8 (

in-line with 8). 1v1 lost by Oman in central

midfield, results in Korean attack.(Look at

Australia’s Second goal)

WEAKNESS WHEN SWITCHING PLAY FROM ONE SIDE TO ANOTHER

VIDEO:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/hashbiydutwp4tv/CHANGE

%20OF%20DIRECTION.avi?dl=0

Against slow build-up, Oman struggled to

win possession back and they weren’t able to

maintain their defensive shape for long

enough (often a player would neglect his

position/role and this allowed their

opponents to move the ball into attacking

zones with ease).

In this scenario, Korea’s slow build-up

forced the Oman midfielders to push higher

(minimal press). The Korean LB forced

himself wide in the pitch, with less pressure.

When Oman concentrated on the stronger

region (yellow), Korea shifted possession to

the left side, with the LB 1v1 against

Oman’s RB.

One notable feature of Oman’s RB (6) is his

tendency to press higher without

recognizing the position of his team-mates

(Australia’s 4th

goal). Few times, he was

trying to press high, leaving gaps behind

him. He was often caught by combinational

plays from the opposition on the Oman right

side. He’s poor in 1v1s and his final crosses

are not effective. The ineffective movement

of CB (13) alongside him further led to few

chances for Korea and Australia.

IBUTION.avi?dl=0

Oman, when in transition from deep defensive block to

middle block, tend to leave huge spaces in b/w midfield

and defence.

For instance, Korea would recycle possession when

they fail to penetrate Oman defence. When they get

their defence to initiate a new attack, Oman’s 5

attackers would push up the field. But the back 5

would do the opposite (fall back since they have to

mark the attackers who haven’t retreated back). The

attacking team will provide a direct long pass to their

attackers and the second ball can also be won with the

players in the space (black region).

Oman didn’t prefer to play from the back (Goal kicks

were long to the target man, who didn’t win most of

the headers ).On most times, their long kicks would

result in a poor defensive shape (image 2), providing a

3v3 situation for the opposition, if they penetrate the

Oman midfield.

FAST TRANSITION (DEFENCE FLAT)

VIDEO:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/swyd3tqkuqc4kyh/FAST%20TRANSITION%

20AGAINST%20OMAN.avi?dl=0

Fast transition in the break forces Oman defence

to fall flat and the midfielders don’t track back

with pace. Oman first look to regain the shape of

their defence and then look to organize at the

middle and forward.

Pressing: When trying to stop quick counter

attacks, Oman don’t press aggressively and

instead use only 1-2 players to do zonal pressing.

But the problem of leaving gaps (as mentioned

before) disrupts their cause to press. Both Korea

and Australia found out ways to bypass Oman’s

initial press and then setup their own attack.

A mix of zonal marking and man-man marking from Oman.

the 3 players on edge of box are 3v4 against the attackers. 2

1v1s inside the box and one player in the near post. The 3v4

situation led to a the goal for Australia, the movement of the

players blocked the Oman defender to follow him and led

him freely inside the box.

2 players are outside the box, for counter attack initiation.
