This formation or a 4-2-3-1 would be effective against Pekerman's 4-2-2-2. We do not have the speed or quality for a 4-3-3. When defending the forwards start pressuring the ball carrier when entering our half of the pitch. If we high pressure Colombia are too good and fast to avoid it. When attacking the fullbacks overlap, wingers cut in, Bradley would push forward, Cameron would stay back and shield the backline, and the forwards would make runs to stretch Los Cafeteros. The players I selected in my opinion have the best work rate. They would excel in this formation, positioning and instructions.
