Garrincha vs Arsenal Tone Garrincha tactics: Arsenal Tone tactics: Playing a back five will give the full backs freedom to attack and most of my attack will be focussed down the left. Whilst the attack will start up as a front three, Sterling will drift out to the left with Davies doubling up on his right back. Ronaldo has played mostly as a striker and will not want to track back and help out. Scamacca and Abraham will both be in the box to get on the end of long balls and crosses. They will take turns dropping off to help out the midfield (or drifting out to the right) when we don't have the ball, but with the ball will play as a front two. With Davies pushing forward on the left, Alaba will slot across to cover the left back area when required (a position he knows well) so that the defence would appear at times more like a back four of Alaba-van Dijk-Tah-Hakimi. This is my most defensive line up and they will be difficult to break down. Van Dijk and Tah will easily deal with long balls and crosses and so we will pack the middle of the pitch and try to force his players into either playing the ball over the top or crossing from wide areas.
