In the latest installment of the tournament, Aldosivi has demonstrated that defense is one of their fundamental pillars. With a well-defined back four and a midfield supporting the recovery, the team has become troublesome for opponents. In the match against Gimnasia, the team achieved their third clean sheet, a feat not seen in months.
The key to this defensive solidity lies in center-backs N. Breitenbruch and I. Acosta, who have forged a robust partnership in the heart of the defense. Their communication and ability to anticipate the opponent's movements have been crucial. This last match showcased how they intercepted various balls, practically cutting off the opponent's goal-scoring options in the first half.
Another element to highlight is the contribution of the full-backs in the defensive phase. Both I. Chicco on the right and S. Moyano on the left have done an excellent job closing down the flanks and assisting with defensive duties. Their speed and stamina allow them to quickly return to the center in case of losing possession. A clear example was in the third match of the phase, where their interventions secured a 1-0 victory.
Aldosivi has not only worked on the defense itself but also on the quick transition from defense to attack. This has allowed them to create opportunities from the opponent's mistakes. However, the task remains how to improve in finishing these opportunities. The foundation is set; now it's a matter of adjusting the attack to complement their solid defense.
