The strategy of Newell's Old Boys relies on midfield control, where players like Valentino Andrés Acuña and M. Esponda are key. In their last match, the way they connected attack with defense allowed the team to dominate possession and create clear opportunities for attack.

With Acuña directing through his distribution skills and Esponda moving to offer support, the midfield became a strong pillar. The team implemented a 4-3-3 formation that enables midfielders to intercept the opposing game while creating spaces for forwards. This formation has provided them with the flexibility to adapt to different rivals.

One of the statistics reflecting the midfield's effectiveness is the number of completed passes by Acuña and Esponda. In the last match, they completed a high percentage of 85% of their passes. This figure highlights their ability to retain possession under pressure, a crucial element in modern gameplay.

Moving forward, it's essential for the coaching staff to continue refining the midfield gameplay. Every match is a test. With rivals clustering more in the center, finding new ways to unlock the defense will be crucial, especially in the upcoming matches.
