It is undeniable that Lanus has undergone a tactical evolution under the guidance of their new coach. From the start of the season, the team has incorporated a more aggressive and dynamic style, aiming to dominate matches from the midfield. This was evident in their last match against Estudiantes, where they showcased high pressure that left their opponent scrambling.
One of the most notable changes has been the creative freedom granted to midfielders like D. Aquino and A. Cardozo. Both have been functioning in more advanced roles, allowing them to not only regain possession but also contribute significantly in the attacking phase. Historically, Lanus midfielders have played more defensive roles, but this season is markedly different.
The new approach has also impacted the effectiveness of the forward line. Players such as R. Carrera and B. Acosta are enjoying more goal-scoring chances thanks to the space created by the team's high press. This shift has resulted in an increase in goals across the team, making them more unpredictable in attack.
As the league moves into its mid-point, it will be interesting to see how the team's tactics continue to evolve. Lanus fans are hopeful that this new direction will lead the team to compete for a place in international cups and perhaps reclaim the prestige that the club deserves.
