Pitso Mosimane Tactics
The way Mosimane typically sets up his team, he likes to defend high up the pitch and deny the opposition much space to play out from the back and play short passes.
In possession, Al Ahly’s two full-backs tend to get quite high from the very beginning of an attack. As a result, they’re rarely seen in line with the center-backs.
During the build-up, they usually form a four-man line with the two holding midfielders, as the center-backs are usually tasked with receiving the ball from the goalkeeper and kickstarting an offensive move via their passing quality from there, as a result, their ball-playing ability is quite important, as is their speed and the aerial ability for their defensive roles.
The holding midfielders and center-backs generally stay back to provide a deeper passing option and cover in the event of a counterattack, while the wide attackers pick up a narrower position, playing as inside forwards.
