Luis Enrique 4-3-3 PSG (24/25) PES 2021 |Tácticas|

Storyline / Context (what the video is about)

The video presents a tactical build of Luis Enrique’s PSG (4-3-3, 24/25) for PES 2021. It focuses on how PSG’s real identity translates into gameplay: high possession, side-to-side ball circulation, aggressive recovery when losing the ball, and flexible rotations between attackers and midfielders to create chances.

Gameplay highlights / Tactical identity discussed

• Possession dominance: long sequences where the team moves the ball side to side to control the match.
• Rotations + flexible positioning: players don’t stay fixed; midfielders and wide players swap roles to find passing lanes and overload areas.
• Wing-to-central combinations: even when attacking wide, the plan often ends with combinations that progress inward toward more dangerous zones.
• No traditional “center forward finisher” style: the attack is described as lacking a classic target; instead, the wingers/strikers rotate and create shots from outside the area or via restart patterns.

Formations / defensive shape

• Starting system: 4-3-3
• Without the ball: it can resemble a 4-1-4-1 / 4-3-3 defensive variant
• Defensive evolution during recovery: described as turning into a 3-3-4 / 3-3-? (receiver shape)
• Defensive features emphasized:
  • High pressure / aggressive pressure in the front
  • High defensive line
  • Pressing across the field with an “open row closure” style to trap space

Key attacking structure (how they build plays)

• Back line + midfield progression (build-up):
  • Nuno Méndez can sit alongside the two center backs, forming a line of three.
  • Vitiña and the midfield trio (notably João Neves and Fabián Ruiz) provide outlet passing and ball advancement.
• Hakimi as a trigger for combinations:
  • Hakimi moves forward and can act like a more advanced/attacking connector.
  • The video highlights one-twos with “Due” (Hakimi/Due reference in subtitles): receive → quick return → break toward the byline/interior.
• False nine behavior (central drop-offs):
  • The tactic uses False Nine to get the main forward role (Osman/Dembélé referenced as the forward) to drop between the lines, dragging defenders and enabling passing/turning.
• Restart pattern instead of constant high crosses:
  • With little “pure finisher” presence, the approach favors byline play → recycle passes → shot setup from the front/outside the box.

Advanced tactical instructions mentioned (useful settings)

Man marking / more aggressive pressure option

• Option to switch from normal midfield tracking to man marking:
  • “each midfielder follows the closest opposing midfielder”
  • helps generate higher, more intense pressure

Attack style (possession-based)

• Possession / short passes
• Attack through the center to combine, then reach the sides
• Look for 1v1s, but primarily after short combination builds
• Flexible positioning + close support zone for rapid give-and-go sequences

Defense instructions (system-wide)

• Containment zone pressure
• Aggressive pressure
• Very high defensive line

Three downloadable tactics in the video

Tactic #1 (base): 4-3-3 possession + aggressive high line

• Core idea: dominant ball control, long possessions, side-to-side circulation
• Defensive/off-ball: high pressure + high line
• Attack details:
  • Vitiña supports build-up and progression
  • Hakimi pushes to create inside/outside passing lanes
  • False nine instruction used for Osman/Dembélé to drop into between-the-lines space
  • Wide winger role discipline: Cabasquelia (subtitle spelling) is kept more controlled via instruction so they don’t always collapse too centrally

Tactic #2: Position exchange wave (Osman/Dembélé + Due rotation)

• Difference from #1:
  • Dembélé exchanges positions with the right winger (Due):
    • Due drops/comes in as striker
    • Dembélé receives open on the right wing
• Goal of the change:
  • Let Dembélé face up more often on the right
  • Create diagonal inward/outward runs to cut up the opponent and approach the goal

Tactic #3: Formation movement with Vitiña dropping (and simplified wide instruction)

• Difference from #1:
  • Vitiña acts like a pivot/left center back
  • Nuno Méndez advances into the shape
  • Hakimi and wingers adjust to stay available (wide openness + inside coverage)
  • Fabián + João Neves function as a double pivot to cover the space left by Vitiña
• How to trigger it in-game:
  • Use controller/arrow movement options while the ball is in play so Vitiña drops into the left-center-back role for build-up progression
• Key chance creation:
  • Use the new base to filter passes to fullbacks and especially inside-wired wingers (closer to the ball and more technical)
  • Those inside receives lead to dangerous finishes/attacking entries
• Advanced instruction changes mentioned:
  • In tactic #3, Cabasquelia positioning instruction is removed (false nine remains and high pressure stays as before)

Key tips / strategies emphasized

• Keep possession with patient side-to-side movement, but don’t go static—players should rotate into support angles.
• Use high pressure and a high defensive line to regain the ball quickly.
• Let Hakimi and the right-side runners create the “trigger” for one-twos and byline entries.
• Use False Nine to create between-the-lines overloads and enable turns/through passing.
• Switch tactics mid-match with position exchange when you want to change who receives in dangerous space (especially Dembélé vs Due).
