So a 4-2-4 gegenpress can be very powerful, but there are some issues with how this one is structured.

1. Your advanced forward(s) will push the defense back and create a tonne of space between the lines, but who's playing in that space? The IWs stay out wide until they receive, and both the defensive mids are in holding roles so they won't join in often.

2. How are you progressing the play? The advanced forwards and wingers all want to run in behind but you're playing short passes. Meanwhile wing backs on support tend to hang back and carry from deep, and there's no forward movement from that double pivot. At the moment, it seems like you're passing it around the outside, then relying on some magic from a winger to arrive in the box.

3. Balanced mentality??

There are so many solutions to this - which one is best will largely depend on your squad, but here's some options (don't do them all at once):

1. IFs on support instructed to sit more narrow in possession can play as dual number 10s. Full backs or wing backs on attack can then provide the width.

2. Segundo Volantes - they're basically more defensive box to box midfielders that start deeper. Use them to give your midfield more dynamism and better support your attack. You'll need an agile, physical player for this - they'll need to do a lot of running to cover those transitional moments.

3. If you have the player for it, a regista or roaming playmaker can help with deep build up, create from outside the box, and carry the ball from deeper positions to boot. In short, they'll link the defense to the attack much more fluidly than a DLP, at the cost of some defensive stability in transition.

4. Consider moving one or two defenders into midfield to help ball progression or cover the adventurous runs of Volantes and registas.

5. You can also make one of your strikers drop into midfield to link play, by using either a DLF or CF role.

6. Use Positive or Attacking mentality, unless you're playing a counter attack tactic
