Pls note - This Manager is for pure counter-attacking
It doesn't suit possession players

Rossi is the perfect manager for you if you want to play fast-paced counter attacking football.I just reached 1500 with him last week..Currently my rating is 1374.
His specialty is his attacking zone which is centre with 4-2-1-3,so your wingers or wide SS tend to come into the centre for attacking.....I will further explain this in the Squad Builder.
Also AOD +Agressive Pressing+7 Compactness is perfect for defending(Pls note I use his Defensive tactics)
Also these are his tactics for your reference
π¦π€π¨ππ ππ¨πππππ₯
Goalkeeper - Someone you trust in front of goal( I use Donna+Neuer in subs but Neuer is in B Condition this week so I added VVD on my bench)
Centre Backs - I prefer one agressive bully like Sule,VVD,Puyol etc paired with someone fast like Koulibaly,Varane,Kabak,Campbell.
They should have decent physical contact
Wingbacks - One Offensive wingback + a defensive wingback or neutral play style with essential defending skills....I use Kabak and Maldini
Some good players are Maldini,Wan Bissaka etc
Double Pivot - I use an Anchor Man + B2B with Vieira on the bench.
I have OTP on Marquinhos and Kante is a powerhouse.
Tbh these are biased picks coz I am a PSG and Chelsea fan.
You can use Ndidi, Marquinhos,G.Silva,Barrios etc + any defensively good B2B or Vieira
AMF - This is the position you should choose depending on how you play.....I use Neymar(another biased pick)who is a Creative playmaker...De Bruyne is also Good..
But I would prefer most of you to use Hole Players or Neutral play style players there as it is Hard to use a CP ....That's the reason I have Bruno Fernandes on my Subs Bench
You can use Bruno,Ronaldo,Sane,Cruyff etc
Wingers - I prefer to use atleast one Wide SS Goal Poacher (you can also use 2) but Featured ManΓ© +Mbappe as SS is amazing
As I said earlier,Wingers tend to come inside in this formation to score...ManΓ© has 7 conditioning and his positioning is also good,Double Touch is bonus.
And no need for an explanation for Mbappe.
You can use Rummenigge,ManΓ©,Mbappe,Sane,Ronaldo,Del Piero etc
CF - I chose MVB here as I need a Physical CF who can pass and as I explained before the Wingers go Inside so the CF drops to pass.
MVB has great Passing and can score from literally any range..
You can use a target Man with good passing here too
If you have MVB put him there but if you don't have him you can use Batistuta,Dzeko,Kluivert etc
Bench - My Bench is obvious so no need for an explanation....I have 3 super Subs ....Sane is a delight at AMF after the 60th minute and Haaland is great,I also managed to pull Jota from POTW
Most of my Rank Push was also done with my Bayern Munich custom MD squad

Build Up Long-Pass doesn't mean that every ball has to be a long ball.
The difference between Build Up Long Pass and Short Pass is that Long-Pass is a more direct way of play.
His Support Range is ideal for Counters and the compactness is balanced for better defending
The Defensive line is safe aginst Long Ball Spammers
ππ’πͺ π§π’ ππ§π§πππ
There are mainly 5 ways you can score from except set pieces
1)A direct low pass from your players(Mainly your CMF or DMF) to your CF who holds the ball and then gives a through ball/pass to your wingers who score
2)Triangle passes between the AMF,CF and either winger to go through the opponents defence and score
3) Wingbacks cross the ball and the FITB or Target Man are always in a position to head the ball and they rarely miss delicious crosses
4)CF Holds the Ball and the AMF makes an overlapping run and a through ball by the CF to destroy the opponents defence
5)A pass to the CF and he simply scores
π¦π’π π πππππ‘π¦ππ©π π§ππ£π¦
I am a Manual switcher and most of the defending is done by the DMF and CMF
Make sure not to overpress with your CBs
Rossi's AOD+agressive makes it easier for you to defend
7 Compactness can handle wing play as well as players who attack from the centre but make sure to keep one Defensive fullback or a neutral play style player
In this formation you can turn defence into counter attack with crucial interceptions.
You can check this post for a detailed defending guide

M.Rossi is a good all-round manager for online as well as offline matches with great attack and perfect defence...In all he doesn't have any major weaknesses and the best part about him is that you can enjoy Beautiful football in the game rather than spamming ping-pong with your 4-3-1-2s...
This was my first post so please excuse any mistakes and feel free to mention them in the comments
So that's it...
If you've managed to reach to the very end,you deserve a big Thanks from me:)
