Diego Alonso Uruguay Tactics 2022

Diego Alonso plays direct and strikes up front through direct passes and high dynamic moves.

Alonso is a coach who believes in the variability of building attacks. He also does not hesitate to change his formation during the match depending on the situation on the pitch.

There are moments when Uruguay retreat to the low block and try to exploit the free space behind the line of a high-pressing rival thanks to the speed of their players.

Alonso likes to overload on the wings directing up to four or five players who cross to gain space only to finish the action with a cross into the penalty area.

Another pattern of play is to use a false or inverted winger on one of the flanks just to stretch the opponent’s formation and create more space in the center, after which they immediately abandon their possession on the wing and switch to playing through the center or diagonally straight into the opponent’s box.

Defensively Uruguay’s target in every match is to receive the ball as quickly as possible using medium and high pressing. The idea is to take control of the ball as fast as possible.
