Soccer 4-4-2 Formation Infographic in Bracket Layout

Sports infographic titled "Soccer 4-4-2 Formation". TOURNAMENT BRACKET archetype adapted to clearly explain a soccer 4-4-2 formation while preserving a bracket-style layout: a central, accurately scaled top-down soccer pitch based on current official rulebook dimensions and markings, with bracket branches on both sides grouping the 11 positions by unit and progression from defense to attack. Retro 1970s sports print style, green pitch and white palette, editorial sports illustration, clean vintage ink texture, no real team / league / sponsor logos. On the pitch, render all player positions with small player icons and English labels plus short English role captions: Goalkeeper — shot stopper and distributor; Right Back — wide defender support; Left Back — wide defender support; Right Center Back — central marker and cover; Left Center Back — central marker and cover; Right Midfielder — width and crossing; Left Midfielder — width and crossing; Right Central Midfielder — ball winning and passing; Left Central Midfielder — link play and support; Right Striker — runs behind defense; Left Striker — hold-up play and finishing. Bracket nodes should group lines as Defensive Unit, Midfield Unit, Forward Unit, and Full Starting XI, using connecting lines and simple seed-like progression styling inspired by a tournament bracket but focused on formation structure, not competition results. Include a small English legend for position icons and formation spacing notes. Accurate soccer field markings to scale: halfway line, center circle, penalty areas, goal areas, penalty spots, corner arcs, goals. Visually evoke search intent through bracket composition only, without referencing other sports in on-image text. All text MUST be written in English (array). Every heading, label, caption, legend and metric name in the image must be in English — not English. Spell each English word correctly using English characters and diacritics. Numbers stay as digits, no real team / league logos, no watermarks No real team / league / sponsor logos. Field dimensions and rules accurate to current official rulebooks.
