Key features – Bosnia and Herzegovina

• 1-4-2-3-1; occasional switch to 1-4-3-3 with single screening midfielder
• Deep 1-4-4-1-1 defending with only main striker remaining upfield
• Emphasis on building from the back, moving ball slowly across the back line
• When under pressure, hit long diagonal passes to the wide attackers
• 10 Hasić the main attacking threat; vision for penetrating pass in final third
• Combination play hindered by ball losses in midfield, space between lines
• High press in 2nd half v Denmark; otherwise pressure on ball-carrier from midfield

Head coach: Zoran Erbez (19/05/1975)
