Bordel, Thauvin blessé, Amavi suspendu, je vois pas comment on pourrait pas ENFiN tenter le 4-3-1-2
(peut-être que Lopez et Ocampos sont plus à même de jouer les rôles de Zambo et Sanson respectivement)

Here is an extract of an interview with Ancelotti from an italian tactics manual I have(a lot of it isn't very coherent because it's translated from Italian:- )

Why do you use the 4-3-1-2 Formation?

Because it's a formation that allows us to cover the wings with the players and not in a static way. We can be less predicatable on the wings and alternate a lateral game to a central game.

What's the advantage?

As I've said, the lateral wings are covered in a dynamic way because during the attacking stage there aren't static positions.

What are the problems?

Sometimes it's hard to close down the wings and to play as the fifth man during the defensive stage.

This might create some problems during the fast changes of the game...

Of course. But if the back player doesn't have a man to mark, he can come out on the midfield players, otherwise he stays together with the defenders. If the opposition midfield player is way behind, he'll get cover by one of our midfield players. If the opposing midfield player stays ahead then he'll be covered by our back player.

Do you let the attacking midfielder come between the three midfield players?

No, because I think that we should ask for long runs from the attacking midfielder during the defensive stage. But it's obvious that they also have to be included in defensive action.

How?

If the opponents have a defense with three men, the attacking midfieldermarks the central midfielder and the two forwards move towards the other two opposing defenders. If the opponents defend with four men, the attacking midfielder closes down the opposing midfield player near the ball.

What are the themes you follow during the attacking stage?

The width of the field has to be taken by the two full-backs, who must have offensive skills. This is true also for the outside midfielders, who must be able to move. If neither the full-backs nor the midfielders can control the width of the field, one of the two forwards will guarentee the control while the attacking midfielder will take up a position next to the other forward to resemble the formation. We must say that when the ball is in our half of the field, our 'director' is the player positioned in front of the defence, whereas in the other half of the field it's the attacking midfielder. The reason is that with this formation the player in front of the defence has defensive duties and must help to build the game from the back. Unlike the outside midfielders he doesn't move forward much. He has to take advantage of the characteristics of the attacking midfielder he's playing with.

What are these characteristics?

As usual, technical qualities and tactical qualities, such as the ability of playing penetrating balls and playing between the midfield line of the opposing defence. I also want to say that I prefer a fast striker, where as the other is more physically strong.

Do you think it's useful to vary the formation during a match?

Only if the team has the knowledge to do it. Of course if you have to move from a 4-3-1-2 to 4-4-2 formtion, it's not a problem. Otherwise I think it's better to avoid any improvisation.
