3-5-2 formation

The 3-5-2 formation in soccer (football) is a tactical layout that consists of three defenders, five midfielders, and two forwards. This structure allows for solid defense while providing ample midfield support to control the game. The three defenders work together to protect the goal, while the five midfielders help in both defending and attacking, facilitating ball movement and supporting the forwards. The two forwards focus on scoring goals. This formation is versatile, allowing teams to maintain possession and transition quickly between defense and attack, making it popular among various playing styles.
