When you think of a standard 4-3-3 there is very little space between the CBs & DM during build ups.
When teams build in the 3-2 shape this space increases as the middle CB drops deep, making it easier for the opposition to counter.

It would also cause the back line more of a problem as they would be outnumbered 6v5.
