Style of Play

Grecia played actual futbol in the 2021 Apertura, a far cry from the boot-and-pray tactics of the previous season.

The formation shifted to a 4-2-3-1 that relied heavily on dynamic wing play; however, the burden did not fall squarely on the wingers’ shoulders. No system incorporates the use of its fullbacks more than Grecia’s.

Wingers and fullbacks are interchangeable in the final third. One is positioned tight on the touchline, while the other drifts centrally to create numerical advantages near the top of the 18. A combination of carries, pull-backs and crosses generates most of the chances.

Possession is purposeful for Grecia. The personnel isn’t interested in possession for the sake of possession. Even recycled passes look to create penetrating prospects. Opposing defenses rely on transitional moments to counter Grecia’s bold style of play.
