Quakes’ high pressing could be outwitted
Steven Cherundolo has stuck to his guns since taking over as head coach of Los Angeles FC in January 2022, and his possession-based approach has been the best way to approach games in the MLS.
His 4-3-3 system is well drilled and has enough structure to allow the team to build up play in a controlled manner, while also having enough flexibility to adapt to the game.
Bruce Arena has gone the other way with his San Jose Earthquakes, employing a high-intensity man-marking system that aims to disrupt the opposition’s play, which could be a problem against LAFC’s structured build-up.
