93OVR
Sacchi's 1988/89 Milan. Baresi as the brain of the back four, Gullit and Van Basten as the spear, and a 4–0 European Cup final that still looks modern.
Same club, other years in the database: 2025/26, 2006/07.
Tags on the page — high press, offside trap, dutch pair — are shorthand for how the model leans, not a documentary.
Chemistry is 97. The model treats this as a side that has played together, not eleven strangers in a photoshoot.

Shape
Pressing 92, so turnovers are supposed to happen high up. Tempo 82 — the engine will try to rush the game. Defence 95 is the thing the model respects most.
