Video Highlights From Napoli Vs. Chelsea

I reviewed this match and created a video, I was not able to embed the video for some reason.
I chose to review this match out of all the others because the level of competition from these two teams is incredible. No English teams has ever won at Napoli's stadium so the pressure is on Chelsea to beat this Italian team. I will post all the match facts from every first leg match within a few days. I plan to create one or maybe two match videos every week.

About 4-3-1-2

4-3-1-2 is a football formation. That contains four defenders, three players in the midfield, one player in center attacking position to assist in either the midfield or during the attack, two players the play as the right or left strikers. The two defenders who play out wide can also assist the team when attacking; over whelming the opposing team. This is my favorite formation based on how many people are able to play in the midfield position and if the player use good communication and use fast, short passes on the pitch they will dominate possession of the ball.
