Which football formation is the most defensive one?
“Ten Behind the Ball” is a defensive strategy Greece use sometimes when they lead a game 1-0. One forward, four wide defense, a sweeper, and three defensive midfielders who just clear the ball down the field and waste time. That’s as defense as it gets. If you jam everyone together inside the box, other teams can still score. Ten behind the ball gives you defensive depth and is almost impossible to probe or break.
