Ok, i have been manager of the brazilian national team for about 1 and a half years. I am in 2012 and got to the final of the confederations cup and semifinal of the copa america. my main lineup looks like this, not i play a 442 diamond attacking system.

--------Jo------Robinho-------
----------Kaka----------------
Ronaldinho-----------Celsinho-
-----------Denilson-----------
Marcelo--Lucio--Felipe--Alves

i defend deep, get wide, play slow tempo and i use jo as a target man. I have found when i am vsing weaker teams this worksout very well, however, every time i play a team equal or above me in the rankings i never ever seem to win, can anyone help me with my tactics?
