How to play your 3-5-2 in soccer?
Playing soccer in the 3-5-2 formation requires players to organize themselves and move as a unit in order to take advantage of the extra midfielders and strikers. Defending in the 3-5-2 formation should start with pressure on the wings and a strong centre back line. Also, when attacking, wide midfielders should look to exploit the space in behind opposing fullbacks and wingers should look to cut inside. Overall, the 3-5-2 formation is a strong defensive setup that allows for quick and efficient attacking transitions.
