I must have just dreamed that about Liverpool playing 3-4-3. What do people think that was, a bit of luck? A British coach playing 3-4-3? A foreign coach doing that would be a tactical genius. I imagine people think I fell into that system through a stroke of luck or something... it took some thought. I didn't just throw them out there.
I've always preferred a 4-3-3. It's a more fluid and dynamic system, and I think it plays to my strengths better.
Muller is part No. 7 and part No. 9, a second striker. But in Ancelotti's system, there is no room for that type of player.
For every man who has learned to fight in arms will desire to learn the proper arrangement of an army, which is the sequel of the lesson.
Preparing your tactical formation is essential. Each player needs to know where he has to be, and that is why there needs to be mutual understanding: because you need absolute discipline.
We are not a nation who has ever produced No 10s prolifically. When I was growing up, attacks consisted of a big man-little man combination, with two midfielders sitting behind.
In this system, I've always played in the position behind the striker. I also don't enjoy being classed as a striker - I don't see myself as one.
The triangle is a foundation to an offense.
I hate false nines.
Usually, when I'm in the 3-5-2, it's at the end of the game, in the 80th minute, where I'm really just attacking.
The 4-1-4-1 system is weird.
