Overage players
The team isn't using overage players (Rising sun arc, chapter 42, page 22).

Cooperation plays
One of their usual attack pattern is Schneider, shooting on Margus' postplay after a pass from Schester (Rising sun arc, chapter 89, pages 14 to 21).

Variety of attacks
Even if Schester is the usual playmaker, Kaltz can also act as a playmaker when it's important (Rising sun arc, chapter 79, pages 14-15).
Teigerbran's crosses of unmatched accuracy from the left or right foot added even more depth to their attack patterns (Rising sun arc, chapter 44, page 12).

Formation with no one on top
With all the players in defense, they can even more reinforce their central defense (Rising sun arc, chapter 75, pages 2 to 5).
But their real intention with that formation is to gain posession by targetting a backpass (Rising sun arc, chapter 75, pages 20 to 23), and breaking through an undermanned defense (Rising sun arc, chapter 76, pages 2-3).

Defending the lead
The team can defend their leading goal (Rising sun arc, chapter 51, pages 24-25).

They were considered the second best contender for the victory in the olympics by Netherlands' data (Rising sun arc, chapter 9 page 23).

They were the only team facing Japan with a handicap: they played them with two players injured, Kaltz and Muller (Rising sun arc, chapter 64, page 10), forcing them to reinforce their central defense and be weak on the sides.
