Imanol’s 5-3-2 didn’t work

Imanol surprised everyone and everything in yesterday’s lineup. The Oriot native has already ensured in the preview that the less common players will get minutes but nobody expects the coach to include a defensive line of five defenders with a 5-3-2 formation. Pacheco, Zubeldia and Aguerd They formed the central line, Javi López played on the left winger and Aritz Elustondo He occupied the right wing, replaced the suspended Aramburu. In the middle of the field he placed Zubimendi as a pivot and Sergio Gomez and braise inside and above he lined up two forward numbers Becker and Oskarsson to add more gunpowder.

Overcome

Defensive problems appeared from the first minute. Pacheco’s position is too cornered Javi Lopez on the left wing and the canary can’t go up and take advantage of his burst. Zubeldia and Aguerd They didn’t know how to protect their backs and defensive messes doomed the team. At the beginning of the first part Diego Lopez he finished only one center Foulquier. Fortunately for txuri urdin, the Valencia forward did not clearly hit the ball and went down the baseline. In the second failure of the txuri urdin’s defense, Hugo Duro He did not forgive. Foulquier He sneaked into his house like Pedro because of the passivity of Sergio Gomez, Zubimendi and Pachecoexpelled and neither was the one from Azkoitia or Aritz They are keeping an eye on the Valencia striker. He didn’t waste the pass Foulquieron a bad shot, and finished at will to score. The formation also punished the txuri urdin attack, which had to assume too much weight Aritz and Xavier Lopez due to inefficiency of the spinal cord, covered. Oskarsson and Becker They were forced to accept very far back. The one from Suriname moved across the field and was dangerous, but he was alone.

Back to 4-3-3

After a chaotic first half, Imanol He reverted to the usual 4-3-3, introducing himself Olasagasti through Pachecowho saw a yellow card in the first half and was replaced at halftime. The classic method did not work either.
