The change in coaching staff at Esporte Clube Vitória brought a breath of fresh air and a new approach to the game. The team has adopted a more aggressive system, prioritizing ball possession and high pressing. This was evident in the latest match, where the team imposed its game from the first whistle to the last.
The new coach has emphasized the importance of quick transitions, especially with players like A. Almaraz and Gabriel Baralhas. "The speed in transitions is crucial. We want our attacks to be lethal and our defenses solid," he commented in a press conference. This tactical mindset is beginning to bear fruit, with an increase in the number of opportunities created during matches.
The formations have also changed. Esporte Clube Vitória is now opting to play in a 4-3-3 setup, which allows for more width and overlaps on the flanks. Players like Matheuzinho have been instrumental in this new format, contributing both defensively and offensively. Recent performances clearly show that the team is adjusting well to the new style of play.
