The debut of a coach always generates expectations, but in the case of Eduardo Coudet these are triggered by his style of play, unknown in Spain and practically in Europe. El Chacho has triumphed in South America through his 4-1-3-2 and does not intend to abandon his formula of success. This Saturday he will premiere his magic potion at the Sánchez Pizjuán.
Despite arriving in the middle of the season and not having the squad configured to suit him, Chacho will not budge from his style, at least for now. He will use a defense of four, with two very offensive lanes, a pivot that will get between the centrals when attacking, a line of three formed by two interiors and a playmaker and two forwards, one to fix the centrals and the other with greater mobility.
LaLiga Santander
* Data updated as of November 19, 2020
This game system is new in Spain and its premiere will be at Sánchez Pizjuán against Sevilla, one of LaLiga's most powerful rivals. It is also a double-edged sword. On the one hand, rivals are not used to facing this type of system and it can catch them by surprise. On the other hand, Coudet has barely been in Vigo for a week, insufficient time to implement their game mechanisms. However, he has already tested 4-1-3-2 in this week's game against the subsidiary.
Another handicap for Coudet is the 'Fifa Virus'. El Chacho will only have all the players in training this Friday, the last one before facing Sevilla. To apply his method well, good physical form is necessary, so the players have made a demanding work plan this week. The result will be verified this Saturday at the Sánchez Pizjuán, the place of the premiere of Coudet and his novel 4-1-3-2.
