"It's a new beginning for us," proclaimed Godoy Cruz Antonio Tomba's coach in the press conference after his first month in charge. The arrival of this new helm has brought frictions and, of course, adaptations. Undoubtedly, his focus on ball possession has clearly marked a difference in the team's playing style.
During the initial matches, a variation in the employed formation was noted, shifting to a 4-3-3 setup that seeks greater pressure in the midfield and facilitates quick transitions. This strategic change has allowed players like G. Gil Romero to exert more influence in the midfield, freeing up attackers to explore more offensive options. His goal in the 2-1 win against Defensa y Justicia is a clear example of this.
However, the evolution has not been without its challenges. The new formation requires time for assimilation, and defensive errors have cost valuable points. In the latest match against Banfield, although the tactic was effective, mistakes led to a goal against.
