Tuchel is also another great manager who’s:
- Renowned as an innovator
- Adaptive to opposition strengths and weaknesses
- Uses great formations
Tuchel always tries to exploit the weaknesses of the opposition as much as enhancing his own sides strengths.

His usual formations are:
- 4-1-4-1
- 4-1-3-2
- 4-2-3-1
- 3-3-2-2

Tuchels Two football philosophies are:

- Counter-pressing
- Positional play

The counter press usually focuses on playing long balls over the top for the attackers to run onto.

The positional play focuses on rotational passing ( pass and go, triangles, 1-2). It focuses on ball retention ( possession ) and to not lose the ball as much, forcing turnovers, purely to counter press.

For this he used the 4-1-4-1 quite a lot, players would work the ball until there is a space out wide to whip into the box and/or attack at pace there

His preference is a 4-1-4-1 which can rotate to a 2-3-4-1 as the full backs can push up or cut inside.

His preference Features:
- Deep-lying central midfield
• creative players
• screens
• retain possession
• rotates the ball
- Usually entrusted this roll with young players

His central midfielders tend to be quite attacking, which would suite the likes of Havertz and Billy Gilmour.

Tuchel is excellent at entrusting and developing youth players, which is great for Mason Mount, Tammy, CHO, Billy Gilmour etc.
