Reprisal posted:

Just read that Pavard plays as center-back for his club.

It’s interesting to see that 3 center-backs played in a back 4, with one of them played “out-of-position” as a fullback, is still such a winning strategy internationally.

The same formation underpinned Germany in 2014 (Howedes at LB) and Spain in 2010 (Ramos at RB).

More club teams should try it. (Tottenham does it a bit with Dier.)

Interestingly, the opposite has happened too with a full-back slotting in at CB in a back 5

Azpilicueta at Chelsea, Cresswell at West Ham, and Walker for England
