Bielsa's 3-3-1-3 is an inherently attacking formation that aims to take the game to his opponents, press and defend high up the pitch, and stretch the play as wide as possible when in possession. His back three and the defensive midfielder are essentially the four defensive-minded players, whilst the two wing-backs surge forward whenever possible, trying to create overloads against opposition full-backs, and also venturing into more central attacking positions to provide a goal threat.
The forward trio stretch the opposition defence and the wingers start from very wide positions to open up gaps that are exploited by the defensive forward and the advanced playmaker.
Training
Match training - Defensive positioning always.
General training - Tactics/very high - during pre-season swap it every week with team cohesion
Opposition instructions
Strikers - Tight mark always
