This tactic mirrors Arteta's real-life approach at Arsenal, focusing on a fluid, possession-based 4-3-3 system. Like Arteta, it emphasizes high pressing, building from the back, and versatile attacking play, reflecting his philosophy of tactical flexibility, control, and quick transitions.

Formation
Build Up Style
Players will come short to support the ball carrier rather than make forward runs. This more cautious approach allows the team to maintain their defensive shape for longer during the transition.
Defensive Approach
A riskier approach to defending, applying situational pressure, and adopting a high line that tends not to track opposition runs.
