The Juventus Tactics Under Thiago Motta | EA FC 25

In this video, we’ll be breaking down **Juventus' tactics under Thiago Motta** in EA FC 25. Motta has introduced his tactical style to Juventus, implementing a dynamic and well-balanced **4-2-3-1 formation**. This system allows for solid defensive organization, fluid ball progression, and aggressive attacking play.

### Formation Overview

Preferred Formation: **4-2-3-1**

Motta’s Juventus focuses on controlling the game through midfield dominance, quick transitions, and a combination of width and central overloads in attack. The 4-2-3-1 formation provides flexibility, allowing Juventus to build from the back, maintain a strong defensive shape, and apply high pressure on their opponents.

### Defensive Setup

- **Back Four Organization**: Juventus’ defense under Motta is disciplined, with the two center-backs holding a compact line. The full-backs provide width defensively, while also pushing forward in attack. They ensure Juventus is solid at the back but ready to overlap and support offensive moves when needed.

- **Double Pivot Protection**: The two central midfielders in the double pivot provide balance and security. One plays a more defensive role, breaking up opposition attacks, while the other is tasked with distributing the ball and initiating attacks from deep. This setup ensures that Juventus can maintain control of the midfield while also protecting the defense.

### Midfield Control and Transitions

- **Midfield Trio Movement**: The central attacking midfielder operates just behind the striker, linking up play between midfield and attack. Flanked by two wingers or wide midfielders, this trio is responsible for creating chances through quick, intricate passes and positioning in half-spaces. The wide players offer both width and the ability to cut inside, making Juventus' attack unpredictable.

- **Vertical Transitions**: Juventus’ transitions are quick and direct. Once possession is won, the ball is moved rapidly through the midfield and into the attacking areas, allowing the team to exploit gaps in the opponent’s defense. Motta’s emphasis on vertical passing ensures Juventus are constantly on the front foot.

### Attacking Setup

- **Lone Striker Role**: The central striker plays a pivotal role in holding up the ball, bringing others into play, and finishing off attacking moves. Juventus' striker is not just a goal-scorer but also a link in the buildup play, combining with the midfielders and making runs behind the defense.

- **Wingers and Full-Back Overlaps**: The wingers provide width, but often cut inside to create overloads in central areas. This movement allows the full-backs to push up and provide additional width in attack, creating multiple layers of threat for the opposition.

### Conclusion

In **"Juventus' Tactics Under Thiago Motta | EA FC 25,"** we’ve explored how Motta has utilized the 4-2-3-1 formation to create a balanced and versatile Juventus side. With a strong defensive foundation, fluid midfield play, and dynamic attacking movements, this tactical setup is designed to dominate games.

We're having a tournament at the place where I work. You know, EA FC Champions League. I drew Juve and I couldn't win shit with their basic tactic. 😅
Thanks to you, my friend, I've finally started to win something. Maybe I'll not end up at the bottom of the table after all.

Great breakdown 🤩 need to buy myself a juve team and try this out!

[gianmarcosaudino]

very good video, can you do the atalanta's gasperini tactics please?
they are truly a strong team and beautiful to watch

[maxreichegger]

2 things:
1) u said Locatellis focus should be on balanced but u set it on defend so which one is it?
2) I suggest to always have the freekick takers with inverted feets (a right footed player should take the left side kick & vice versa) same with corners. It gives you a better angel & a better curve when they kick it.

Could u also include the roles for the substitutes pls. So when I/we substitute a player, what role the incoming player has. Would be amazing! Thx in advance & keep your work up! It’s worldclass.✌🏼
