The start of the 2024 Liga MX Clausura Tournament is approaching. For day 1 of the contest, Cruz Azul will receive Club Pachuca at the Ciudad de los Deportes Stadium, next Saturday, January 13 at 7:00 p.m. And it could do so with a somewhat unexpected tactical novelty.
During the preseason, Martín Anselmi tried with Rodrigo Huescas in the position of leftmost, a place that knows about basic forces. The 20-year-old attacker would be outlined to occupy that place as a starter before the Tuzos.
The Argentine coach would lean towards play with a left winger with a changed leg, instead of placing one with a left foot like Carlos Rotondi. Next, at Vamos Azul we analyze What advantages does this tactical decision offer and why the coach might lean toward it?.
Anselmi would choose Huescas: What advantages does a winger with a changed leg offer?
As a first advantage, a winger with a changed leg provides one more tactical variant for two key areas: creation and completion. Unlike the winger with his skillful leg on the wing, with Rodrigo Huescas it could be improve partnerships with central zone footballers.

In this way, using Huescas on the left could generate numerical superiority in the creation zone facilitating triangulations and progression with and without the ball. As if that were not enough, by turning towards the center it could sometimes enable the external space to be attacked by the sidein this case Camilo Cándido or Carlos Vargas, carrying rival brands.
For its part, in the finishing zone the chance to perform dribbles towards the center that open the shooting angle with the skilled leg, this facilitated by a defense widened by the projection of a teammate on the wing. And the youth’s scoring ability, the youth scoring champion, is well known. In the same way, he could facilitate a better quality pass with the skilled leg in the “red zone”, just like orientation changes towards rival backs.
