A firm double back.

This trend spread to Italy. When Gao Shen was coaching Naples, he used double midfielders. However, in recent years, with the rise of the four-three-three, problems with the double midfielders have gradually been exposed.

The formation is a bit outdated, but many concepts of 4, 2, 3, 1, especially the handling of some details, are still worth learning from.

Gao Shen has always believed that tactics are dead and players are alive.

Soldiers have no constant momentum, and water has no constant shape.
