Marcelo Gallardo - An interpretation/emulation of his 4-1-3-2 Biography Marcelo Gallardo was appointed River Plate's manager on the 6th of June 2014, replacing the most successful coach in the club's history, Ramón Diaz. Fast forward 5 years, and the mantle of River's greatest ever manager in their 118-year history is undoubtedly his. Once a talented playmaker who came through the youth system at River, he spent many years in France playing for Monaco and PSG before two further spells back at his original club, and a short while in Uruguay and the USA. Capped 44 times for Argentina, he ended his career at Uruguayan club Nacional. His first forays into club management came at the same club he finished his playing career at and lifted the Uruguayan Premier Division in 2011/12, having helped the club win it as a player the season previous. After leaving Nacional in 2012 with over a 60% win record, he spent a few years out of employment and studying the game further, before returning to the club he once represented as a player, River Plate. Since his appointment, the club has won 2 Copa Libertadores, 3 Recopa Sudamerica and 2 Copa Argentina. Gallardo is yet to win the League title with River as manager, but with the board and fans placing a greater emphasis on continental success in an attempt to catch up to Independiente's 7 wins, Marcelo has delivered the trophies those at the club so desperately crave. Style of Play The influence on Gallardo’s tactics from the great Argentinian managers such as Marcelo Bielsa and César Luis Menotti is clear, and similarities with coaches such as Pochettino, Simeone and Pep Guardiola are understandable. Preaching a high intensity pressing game, possession football played at a good tempo and solid defensive shape, it is easy to see why he has been linked to many of Europe’s largest clubs in recent years. Gallardo likes his team to control the centre of the pitch, both defensively and offensively; packing his midfield with hard working technical players who can work the ball up the field to the two forwards. One thing Marcelo cannot be accused of is tactical inflexibility and will often switch shapes in order to best counter his opponent’s threats. According to WhoScored.com, River have played with no less than 4 different formations this year alone – 4-1-3-2, 4-2-2-2, 4-3-3 and the 4-4-2. Aims · Manage River Plate – attempt to win as many trophies as possible in the first season · Emulate Gallardo’s 4-1-3-2 shape, but be willing to change things up should the need arise · An intense pressing style of play – switching between a high and mid-block depending on the opposition. · Control possession through dominance in the centre of the field · Move ball between phases of play in an urgent fashion · Wing backs provide width · Advanced midfielders operate in the half space, with a deep midfielder holding down the fort · A forward partnership who can both score goals and link with the midfield. Well that’s quite enough for episode one. I’ll shortly be uploading part two where we look at the current team in depth, as well as my process of creating our first iteration of the tactic. I’ve often attempted to emulate real life manager’s tactics, but this time I thought I’d take the plunge and upload it on here to see what people think of my efforts. I have played the game for many years, but I’m by no means an expert on either River or tactical emulation, so if there are any fans or regular watchers of Los Millonarios, I’d love to hear from you.

I have tried to download the app onto my iPhone XR and my iPad. They are on different Apple IDs however the app has failed to download on either. I have contacted apple for one of the purchases and have got a refund however they also advised I contacted the developer. Please help any advice is appreciated.

Good evening, I wish the developers of the game, would answer me. I would like to know if it is allowed to install kits (uniforms and club logos that are not licensed in the game). For example, in the Brazilian league, clubs do not have correct uniforms, but there are sites that offer kits. Is this allowed? does not it hurt some rule of the game? I ask this, because there is the EULA on the SEGA website, and it seems they do not allow it. But is it SEGA or Sports Interactive that should answer my question?

I'm playing Football Manager 2019, I wonder if I can install patches, uniforms, and club shields (files downloaded) for clubs that have not been licensed for the game. I went to the official website of Football Manager, I read all the terms of use, and I did not understand if you can or can not install these graphic files. SEGA site that Football Manager, there is a rule and I would like to know what it is, what it means, and if there is any doubt about the installation of patches, graphics uniforms in the times https://www.sega.co.uk/EULA 3.

Hi everyone, This is a bit long but I'd appreciate some support and thanks in advance for taking the time to read. Background: Me and my mate have been playing career games over the network since FM2010. Sometimes we get together in the same house and play over the wifi network (happy days) and sometimes from our own houses over internet (huge pain). Back in the days the game used to crash a lot (unexpected error) but the guys at SI have made considerable progress so we don't have many of those game crashes anymore where we almost killed each other while we decided which save to load from etc etc.. Anyway we somehow managed to come this far from 2010. But this year the game has been impossible to play over the network for us. We click the Inbox, messages take ages to load, you press the Space bar and it takes 5 seconds for the game to take that into play, you pause the match to go into tactics and it takes just AGES- like once a match lasted 35 minutes on key highlights... I was just wondering what the requirements really are for the game flow to be fast enough over network play (internet, not local). For example, what should be the internet speed, download speed, upload speed? What is the minimum pc requirements? Is it possible to have the same game play feel on a network game, as if you are playing a single career game? Doesnt have to be THAT fast but still... At this moment its just not working for us and we would appreciate some support. What are our internet speeds and computer configurations? I believe our internet and computer configurations are more than enough to play this game over the network. But let's see what you have to say We both have the exact same computers; MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011) 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB 1333 MHz DDR3 Ram, AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024 MB, Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB Internet speeds: Between 25-30 Mbps for Download and 7-10 Mbps for Upload. I think his was even 50Mbps/15Mbps. Rendering mode: Software Use caching to decrease page loading: Ticked Match graphics: Low Also see attached for Video Settings etc Where is the struggle? Whoever runs the server on their computer has no issues when browsing through the game or navigating from a player profile to Inbox for example - its almost as if you play a single player game. However for others it takes up to 15 seconds to load a page in the game which makes it extremely annoying. Sometimes you even disconnect. (speedtests were made at times when we thought the game was failing) What is the question? There must be something that we can do because at the moment its just not playable. We have tried all these below, so now I just want to ask: Are my computer and internet configurations enough to play this game over the network? If not, what should I upgrade? If yes, what are we doing wrong? Why should you write a reply if you think you could help? Since FM 2010 we had over 500+ hours played in our network games and unfortunately now we have only been able to have 150 hours of our tradition because we simply cannot play over the internet. Its just too slow. It makes us sad, really. Cheers for taking the time to read

Dear All I wonder if you can help. I have bought FM19 on disk and loaded the disk into the drive, I have accepted the T&C and input my activation code into steam. However from that point the game just will not download. it is constantly stuck on 0 bytes. I have read a bit on various forums and tried to clear the cache, verify the game and change the servers but nothing seems to work. I have also uninstalled Steam and re installed it. Would anyone be able to help me as its getting frustrating that I can't dosas theme. PS I am not a technically person, so any help in baby language would be appreciated. Thanks for any help Rob

Downloaded FM19 yesterday, found a few items in Workshop that I was keen on downloading, hit the subscribe button and I can't see anything in Downloads on FM19. I'm a big Kettering Town fan so found an edit to include non-leagues up to Level 10, and this was a key indicator to download the game. I'm on a Mac. Please can someone help? I'm pulling my hair out...

Hello sports interactive my question is will Football manager touch 2019 for Nintendo switch be download or game card? futhermore what about memory requirements and tech specs etc? Yours Farhan

Morning, I've been having issues with trying to download FM17 for exactly a week now. I pre-ordered it back last year and had it on a flash drive which sadly broke a couple of months ago. I bought a new one last Saturday and I've been having problems trying to download it ever since. The download was taking quite a long time last Saturday - I left it going whilst I was asleep and it still ran through to Sunday afternoon. It got to the "Installing" stage but for some reason it crashed and decided it would restart all over again. I spent the rest of Sunday, most of Monday evening, and have tried again every day since, only managing to download 2.7GB of the total 3.2GB. It only does it in tiny amounts though, hence why it's taking so long - just a couple of the blue bars followed by nothing except the green line. I've reinstalled steam, switched servers, tried limiting bandwith, turned my router on and off again, pretty much everything, and I'm 99.9% certain it's not an antivirus getting in the way. I don't understand why it's behaving like this now as when I last downloaded FM it did it smoothly in a few hours - although the internet isn't super fast round here I have no problems downloading other large files - for example I downloaded a 50MB file the other day in a couple of minutes, I've only managed to download 30.8MB in just under half an hour this morning. For reference I am running Windows 10 (and was last year), my old memory stick was a HP one and the new one is an Integral one. Many thanks, any support would be greatly appreciated. Kai

I have just spent 8.99 on fm mobile 2017 from the google play store. when I open the first thing it asks is whether I would like basic or player pictures. regardless of what i pick it tells me there is a download error and I should check my connection. connection is fine and plenty of storage. help please!!!!

FM 17 was supposed to go through a normal update through steam as usual, but it stopped. It keeps giving me the same error "corrupt download" as per the attached image. This has been going on for a week with no solution for the error. I tried downloading FM 17 Touch, to check if it downloads, and it did successfully. Don't know if it's a steam problem, because the Touch version was downloaded, and I've already tried EVERYTHING possible on steam from, Clear Cache, Change download region, verifying files. Nothing. Anyone knows what might be the problem? Much appreciated.

Hi All, Wondering if anyone can help with retrieving a save game from 5 years in? Does anyone have a save game from this period in, or know where I can obtain one? Thanks in advance all.

Hi, Whenever I try to update my game to the newest version, its gets only as far as 3.8mb/111mb and stops. I have absolutely no idea why? I have removed all my graphic packs and data packs from their folders to see if this helps and even tried all the steps I could find on Google such as changing download regions, clearing cache, firewalls etc. I'm confident it is not my own internet issues as I have no problems when downloading other files. I am desperate for help as I can not play the game otherwise. Grateful for any help that may be given Sean
