Albacete Balompié led by Rubén Albés has been playing captivating football for a while now. Even though he may not be the league leader he was three days ago, his upbeat and vertical football still draws plaudits from his opponents and cheers from his supporters. The Alba has the second-lowest budget in the division, which strengthens the case for Albacete Balompié. In a recent interview with Marca, the Spaniard gave an insight into his tactics.
“I’ve been here for three months, and they’ve been excellent. We’ve worked hard with the sports management to put together the best team possible given our financial situation. But we’re happy with how things have gone overall. In addition, the fans have treated us quite well, which has been wonderful for all of us.
“The capacity to switch between two different structures while using the same players during a game is. Which is why we utilize two distinct structures depending on whether we are attacking or defending. This is what I believe the tactical future of football will look like. However, we also have two other options to change the game as needed. Everything depends on what the game and the opponent need. Some days we attack with a 4-3-3 formation, other days with a 4-4-2, other times we defend with a 5-3-2 or a 4-3-3.”
