There are a few things i don't understand about chelsea's tactic.

First off how do they get their fullbacks so involved in the game? ive tried this but never to the same effect.

How to they play a slow tempo passing possesion game yet manage to get a reasonable amount of width with a three man midfield without their passes getting closed down?

Hopefully some of the tacticians in here can help em out.

To start off i am not a great tactician but because i am a big chelsea fan; therefore watch a lot of there matches, i have noticed that the fact that the midfield play narrow almost forces the opponant to go narrow as they try to stop chelsea dominating the center of the pitch which leaves the fullbacks to to run up and down the the sides - like the way milan play (i think?)

Except in the game Chelsea play very wide, just check out Mourinho's stats in the editor. It says widt 19. I tried him as my assistant manager and indeed he plays very wide.

maybe just another difference between the game and real life?
by the way, how did you sign mourinho as your assman?
