4-1-3-2 Velvet Blitzkrieg Tactic – Recreating the Mighty Czechs

4-1-3-2 Velvet Blitzkrieg Tactic – Recreating the Mighty Czechs

I believe that modern managers can learn something from the Czechs tactic. Recreating this 4-1-3-2 Velvet Blitzkrieg Tactic, as I like to call it, will be the focus of this article. It will be my last tactical experiment in Football Manager 2019. It is also my attempt to get back to the essence of what…

So it should be another great year with AS Roma in FM20. Here are some of the reason why I love my FM19…
