"Three points are crucial, but controlling the midfield is non-negotiable," M. de Ritis stated after San Lorenzo de Almagro's recent victory. In the opening matches of the league, the team exhibited a clear intention to dominate the center of the pitch, a strategic change that has yielded impressive results.

San Lorenzo de Almagro's style of play has become more aggressive, aiming to neutralize opponents in the central area. This strategy was evident in the last match against Estudiantes, where M. de Ritis and N. Tripichio shone by seizing ball possession. Experimenting with formations has produced a dynamic midfield capable of relieving forwards from pressure.

Ball distribution and quick transitions have been key to the team's success. With a cool climate in La Plata, the agility of the midfielders allowed San Lorenzo de Almagro to constantly press Estudiantes, leaving them little room to maneuver. Statistics reveal the team had 65% possession in that game, a clear indicator of the success of their strategy.

This new tactical approach has not only benefited the midfield but also allows for a more cohesive attack. The solidity in the midfield liberated wingers like R. Auzmendi, who has flourished under this tactic. As a spectator and journalist, it's exciting to see how San Lorenzo de Almagro adapts its style, and the prospects for the team are bright.

Such a strategy, which seeks midfield dominance, could be the difference in key matches as the league progresses. The club's history tells us that when San Lorenzo de Almagro controls the center, victories come more easily.
