Style of Play
Guanacasteca plays in a 5-4-1. Guanacasteca does not play like a 5-4-1.
The most utilized formation in Costa Rica experiences an aggressive makeover in Guanacaste. A predictable low block is countered by an aggressive pressing game. Opposing defenders are baited into unnecessary turnovers. Naturally, goal-scoring opportunities are created, but individual weaknesses are also left exposed and later exploited with an even more aggressive press higher up the pitch.
On the ball, it’s route-one futbol for Guanacasteca. The objective is to send the ball vertically and inside the area as quickly as possible. Even if a goal-scoring opportunity isn’t produced, the ariel duels allow for countless fouls in the attacking half.
Set-piece goals are an extension of Guanacasteca’s attack in these moments. It’s a sustainable style of play for a club looking to survive promotion.
