The Italian League is Weird. Here's Why

1. Could you explain how do you define the lining formation?
   My team in Brasil, Palmeiras, plays different styles in the same game, I.e. when having the ball it is a type of 3124 and without the ball is 5131 but it depends a lot

2. How do you collect/record formation? What is the methodology behind that?

3. Excellent video

4. These are interesting stats, thanks for compiling.

5. 4-4-2 is the GOAT

6. 433 the best

7. I love the 3 5 2 depending how you make it move it’s like a more sophisticated version of the 4 3 3

8. Surprised that we go for possession and defense in Italy?

9. Beautiful Portuguese pronunciation of Antonio Conte

10. Does anyone know the avg gpg in Primeira Liga?

11. Our national team, Hungary's captain, italian Marco Rossi took the 3421 formation with himself in 2018. We tried it, and the rest is Nations League history.

12. Football Meta is "weird". Here is why…………….🙄

13. 4-2-3-1🔥🔥

14. NO MONEY FOR ITALY , ATTACKERS EXPENSIVE ,DEFENDERS CHEAP

15. My opinion is that the prevalence of the 352 in Italy is down to a significantly higher emphasis on tactics and adaptability, as well as an appreciation of cantennacio.

    The 352 creates defensive stability by forming with three central defenders to occupy attackers, with wingbacks trained to determine when to defend and when to attack. The wingbacks are usually the critical component of a successful 352, as they’re asked to be both fullbacks and wingers.

    The three-man midfield facilitates two central banks of three for attackers to break down, but can then shift to support forwards

    I often see a deep-lying forward (often even a typical winger) playing off a central striker in order to link midfield and attack, while the full-backs shuttle up the flanks

    I personally love the formation, and it seems so well-suited to Serie A, though not everywhere else, which is certainly curious

16. I started with a 442, tried a 433, switched to a 4231 last season, then a 3142 this season…high school level…just all depends on skill and ability of my players…be willing to adapt…

17. Might be worth adding the average league position of the teams who use the formations…e.g better team use 4-2-3-1 for example as or 3 2-4-1 as they are more confident in their ability to score and not concede, or that they are willing to sacrifice defensive stability in favor of goal scoring opportunities.

18. Seria a is best)

19. How do you determine the difference between a 4-4-1-1, 4-2-2-2 and a 4-4-2, come on. How do you even make stats off of these minor differences?

20. This is an interesting analysis, in my opinion there are (surprisingly) no ultra defensive teams in serie a this year, even the sides from serie b seem to be trying to play their own brand of football instead of just sitting back and hoping for counter attacks. This seems to be a trend in Italy, evidenced by newly promoted sides in previous years like Empoli, Venezia and Spezia. And on top of that the teams who play negative "catenaccio" football like Genoa were recently relegated.

21. Fantastic video thank you

22. There is no best formation: all depends of what idea the coach has, a formation does not guarantee success.

23. The most boring one is… The demonic 5 – 5 – 0

24. Really enjoying learning about basic characteristics of each formation and what differences occur due to unique managerial/player types.

    Would it be possible to do a video on the 3331/3313 formation. This is a system that seems to have very little information available in comparison to more popular styles. 🙂

25. could you do something like that for the worldcup too? would be awesome to see what formation is the best

26. The 352 is the most versatile scheme. It allows players to rotate pretty efficiently and occupy all areas of the pitch. A tacticaly minded league like serie A likes it for this reason, it's flexible, you can adapt to the opponent withou changing the overall scheme.
    It may be a difensive scheme but it can also be extremely offensive, take Inter and Atalanta as an example, so I donato think it is user in Italy necause of difensive attitude.
    Please nota that this attitude is changing a lot and Italian football is adapting to a more offensive attitude.

27. Can you do a video on Van Bronckhorsts tactics. Rangers are going through a bad spell at the moment and all we’re hearing from the fans is “I don’t know what he’s trying to do.” It might be a hot potato in the comments section 😂

28. can we consider the most dangerous formation to the formation that small teams play against top teams, I mean high winrate formation that has been used from lower when they are facing top teams, and that means this information is dangerous to play against for the top teams, and we can consider the opposite with "what is the highest formation's winrate that top teams use against low teams

29. How do you define what formation a team is using? There is an ultra-thin line between a 4-3-3 and a 4-5-1, or between a line of 3 defenders and a line of 5. Furthermore, there is a huge difference between what a manager plans and what actually happens on the pitch, such as wingers helping de fullbacks close to their box, or defensive midfielders joining the atack as a second stricker. Also usually you have asymmetric formations that are hard to define (e.g. an attacking right fullback joins the midfield, almost as a winger, while a more defensive-minded left fullback stays back, turning a 4-3-3 into a 3-4-3 when in possession)

30. As far as success and winning percentage goes, have you considered that the best teams tend to play certain systems, and not that the systems make the teams the best? Perform a causality test to see if the worst teams play certain systems because they need to maximize results, with a 442 being their most viable tactic (i.e. burnley and west brom in years past, bottom laliga teams)

31. 3 men defence is very common in Italy…

    Conte set the new trend with Juventus and brought it to England during his tenure in Chelsea. But his approach is way more simple than what it meets the eye. Compact defence, tight defensive lines, low pressure and lightning counterattack.

    Gasperini and Juric are far more dynamic in their offensive approach than Conte, and rely on high and intense pressing, as well as man marking in open spaces. Sottil style is also an offspring of Gasperini.

    Mazzarri, the first italian tactician to trademark 3-5-2, plays like Conte.

    Anyway, formations change during the games, according to the phase…

32. 433 has and always will be my favorite formation. So versitile, so dynamic, and unpredictable

    A defender shielding the defence with two free 8s being able to take up attacking roles creating a 3-2-5 in attack. And 4-4-2 in defence

33. 3421 is actually a 343 with the wingers slightly behind the striker. A lot of teams using 3421 actually use wingers instead of actual offensive midfielders.

34. Your stat about Italian league being the lowest-scoring league is false it's actually the league with most goals per game in recent time:

    Stat from 2021-2022 season:

    Total goals scored

    Serie A: 1089
    Premier League: 1071
    Ligue 1: 1067
    Bundesliga: 954
    La liga: 951

35. Nice descriptives to understand the leagues! However, little can be said here about causality. There is a huge confounding variable here. 4-3-3 is often the most favoured playing style by top contenders in a league. So then naturally the statistics will gear towards high performance for that playing style.

36. For me the best formation is 4 1 2 1 2 narrow it's amazing

37. Doesn’t take anything into account besides win rate and goals, and only as an average

38. The 3-5-2 line up is an very nice lineup cause it brings you many diffrent formations. to play in this line up i don’t understand why is this no an good line up

39. I still like 4-3-3 and I would say it is my favourite for sure, you have good attack with to wingers and a good striker, and at the back the security of having 4 defences with a right back and a left back allowing the team to have some backup in the attack like Valencia does with Gayà and Lato in the left and Thierry Correia in the right.

40. Could make a video about the benefits of pressing or not pressing

41. Gasperini has had more influence than Conte. Thiago Motta, Juric, Bocchetti, and Palladino are all Gasperini disciples

42. Nah the 3-5-1-1 is crazy ngl

43. Milan won the league with a 4-2-3-1

44. The formation as we know it is nothing more than a view of the team's XI. It all depends on the tactics and the way that players are used. For example, let's take the 4-3-3. In offence, it can be a 2-3-5 or 3-2-5, it can be 4-1-4-1 if the wingers get back in line with the two cm, it can be a 4-5-1 if the wingers get in straight line with the two cm and the cdm, it can be a 3-4-3 if the cdm becomes a third cb, it can be a 4-2-3-1 if one cm plays higher like a cam or it can be a 4-4-2 (or 4-2-4) if he plays even higher (of course there are a lot of other ways that those formations can be seen).
    So for me, the most dangerous formation is the one that your players can fit into.

45. Not a representative title. This video is dedicated to formstoons amd mot the Italian league

46. all german teams play with 3 defenders

47. Hello Barca fans, do you like 3-5-2?
    Too defensive right? Ahahahaha

48. I wished if you illustrated these statistics with the addition of home and away because it could facilitate if it was used attackingly or defensively as you know a formation like 352 could have a variety of shapes based on the roles of the wingers

49. I don't care much for statistics, but you may have touched upon the reason I like Serie A matches the most 🙂

50. who tf uses 3-3-3-1 🤣
