Part 6/7:
A Balancing Act: Attack vs. Defense
More specifically, it’s crucial to evaluate how Oscar and Lucas can balance their attacking roles with the need for defensive support. Left unadjusted, this imbalance could expose São Paulo's defense, especially against teams with aggressive attack tactics that exploit spaces left open by midfielders.
Optimizing their performance may involve new training focuses on defensive responsibilities for the midfield, ensuring they can transition quickly when the team loses possession. This tactical flexibility will be critical for maintaining a robust team structure throughout the season.
