The Deportivo La Coruña is making a good run, fighting for direct promotion, returning to winning ways in the last round against Almería away from home (1-2), with goals scored by Yeremay Hernández and Samuele Mulattieri. The team is structured in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Eddahchouri acting as the central reference to establish the back line and direct movements within the box. Behind him, Yeremay Hernández, Luismi Cruz, and Stoichkov make short diagonal runs, converging inward and alternating roles to maintain possession. This style compresses the field, focuses play in decisive areas, and enables the team to reach the final third through associative sequences, reducing fixed references and making the opposing defense more reactive rather than proactive. Defender Arnau Comas is suspended and will miss the next match.
