Style of Play

Jicaral provides zero creativity on the ball. Jicaral provides zero creativity in defense. 

If there was ever a club that optimized the hard-hat, lunch-pail mentality, it’s them. 

Jicaral deploys the most vanilla 5-4-1 imaginable. Like most others, the restraining line drops to the halfway line; however, there are no pressing triggers. The opposition is welcome to penetrate the final third, understanding that breaking the last line of defense won’t be an easy task. Winning the ball cleanly to transition does not take precedence over clearing the lines. 

The counter is more qualitative than quantitative. 

Efficiency is crucial in every aspect of the game; efficient tackles, efficient clearances, and efficient finishing. The moments to transform a draw into three points are minimal. Avoiding those individual defensive mistakes allows the threat of the counter to remain prevalent for the full 90 minutes.
