5 New countries added were Tunisia, Morocco,
Norway, Iran, and Cameroon. |
Morocco OFFENSIVE: 4-4-2 DEFENSIVE: 3-5-2 Key players:Offense 7 9 11 Defense 6
Features :Formidable vertical line
Explanation: |
This team forms a formidable line with number
7 in the center, at the top, and number 6
as a libero. However, their weakness lies
in the lack of good ball control. Strategy
should incorporate sending out passes early.
The defense players have low skills other
than number 6. To compensate for this weakness,
always be on the offensive and eliminate
any threat quickly. |
Norway OFFENSIVE: 4-3-3 DEFENSIVE: 4-5-1
Key players:Offense 7 9 11
Features:Tall players, exceptional center forward
Explanation: |
The height of the players on the team is
its strength. With fast players positioned
on the wing, the main strategy is to center
the ball from the side. However, with 4-5-1
formation, a killer pass through the center
or a post play by the center forward is also
effective. |
Cameroon OFFENSIVE: 3-5-2 DEFENSIVE: 5-3-2
Key players:Offense 8, 10 Defense 5,6
Features:Speed and leap height
Explanation: |
A team that utilizes speed and leap height
derived from physical advantage. While player
skills are high, the lack of combination
in the defense makes them vulnerable to well
timed attacks. Feed the ball forward as soon
as possible. As for an offensive strategy,
send the ball to an open space to take advantage
of their speed. |
Iran OFFENSIVE: 4-5-1 DEFENSIVE: 3-6-1
Key players:Offense 2, 10, 11 Defense
Features:Explosive offensive power
Explanation: |
The team consists of talented offensive players.
Number 10, 11, and 2 provide offensive power
on par with the top ranking teams. Despite
the fact, the team's weakness lies in its
bad positioning and weak defenses. The team
needs to vary its offensive strategy after
stealing the ball, and stay on the offensive
to cover this weakness. |
Tunisia OFFENSIVE: 4-4-2 DEFENSIVE: 3-5-2
Key players:Offense 7,9 Defense 4
Features:well balanced team
Explanation: |
No exceptional players of note, but it still
is a well balanced team. Overall, the team
lacks good ball control, but has good positioning
and speed. Therefore, use a direct pass in
the middle and use the open space effectively.
Despite the fact, this team has lower than
average stats. |
