which means it may start to get contentious.The center backs in a 4-3-3 are charged with all the
usual duties, but are specifically drilled for counter attack defense and air traffic controlling.
Of course, the biggest added responsibility is playing the ball out.
What a superb game-winning goal on the counter-attack by Arshavin. Nasri is off to the races, cuts
it back, patiently seeks support, and here comes the little Russian a second half substitute, to do
