FM22 Rafael Benitez 4-2-3-1 Crushing Machine Tactic with Valencia 2001-2004

Rafael Benitez’s Valencia was one of the best Valencia teams of all time, if not the best. This is due to Benitez’s 4-2-3-1 crushing machine tactic, it is called the crushing machine due to the team’s intense pressing strategy leaving the opponent little space to breathe or build up. At first, Benitez started his Valencia era with a 4-4-2 tactic but had to settle with his legendary 4-2-3-1 tactic by the second half of the 2001/2002 season. Valencia under Benitez had been crowned the champions of 2001/2002 Laliga, 2003/2004 Uefa Cup and 2002/2004 Laliga.
