With the arrival of a new coach, Estudiantes has shifted its tactical approach in the league. This change has become evident in recent matches, where the team has displayed a more offensive and dynamic style. Players are now positioning themselves on the pitch in ways that maximize their attacking potential, while defensive solidity remains a priority.
One of the most noticeable changes has been the adoption of a 4-3-3 formation. This setup allows midfielders like A. Castro and M. Amondarain to control the game from the center, distributing the ball out wide. The attacking trio formed by B. Aguirre, L. Alario, and others creates multiple attacking options, generating chances every time the team pushes forward.
The playing style has encouraged full-backs, particularly G. Benedetti, to join the attack and provide additional support. During the recent clash against a local rival, for example, Benedetti made a couple of effective runs that resulted in shots on goal. This approach has led to an increase in the number of goals scored, contributing to the team's positioning in the league table.
However, the transition has not been easy. Some criticism has arisen over defensive frailties in certain situations. While the team is creating more offensive opportunities, the defense needs to be more stringent to avoid leaving gaps. Still, Estudiantes' progress in play has been evident and promises an exciting season finish.
