Four-Four-Two; As it Should

 

The best kind of formation should be an inverse of the famous four four two formation which is a Two Four Four.

Considering how often the full backs get beaten or sped past by the attacking wingers they almost seem like a literal waste of space and breath, however fast as they are all attackers eventually come to the middle where the post is.

So I'd rather not use them, and focus only on my 5.6 ands 4 as the defence and train using a 3 man defense at all times, Sometimes the fu backs are the distraction for the coherence of a two center backs. 

when a coach t4ains a team using a two man defence it builds understanding, reliance and codependency much like Cannavaro and Nesta in 2006.

four four two as it should be played stipulates that the 5 6 and 1 are enough for a defence
lucio and Luisao combination of the Brazilian defence that won the  confederation cup it creates an well energized  4 midfield and Gengen pressing 4 attackers that don't need to return back for defense.

Van Dijk and Matip proved that 2 defenders are enough, If I was a coach I would train with just 2 defenders all those coming from the flanks are still coming to the post with is at the center 
so why waste man power, why waste energy on the flanks.

Focus on Midfield and compound my attack 
I just need a good 4 like Fabinho to collect from defense and distribute, then I go full on attack with the remaining guys at the other half.

I won't even send men back when there is a counter attack do, the keeper and two defenders are enough, defense if they want to score let them score stope running back, ensuring they conserve energy
those three are enough many be the 4 goes back to give some help but I will make sure there are 8 men at the front at all times and ensure my high line gene gen pressing

With a target of 50 shots on target every game

which should get me what I want
