Wolves 2022/23: Your tactics under Julen Lopetegui Scout report

How Julen Lopetegui managed to lead Wolves from rock bottom to safety in the Premier League in time Scout report The manager of the season award will almost certainly fall on Arsenal manager Mikel Artetas lap. Change of form and direct balls out of depthBefore we start analyzing the Wolves tactical lineup over the past few months. its important to mention that Lopetegui hasnt innovated at Molineux. his tactics havent been outside the bounds of normal. nor has he managed to to fully restore the make up of his Sevilla squad that rose to European glory. however. this was never the aim after taking over mid season. his goal was to implement a style of play that would lead to an immediate turnaround in results which he has done admirably After completing a full pre season pre season. the typical Lopetegui plan may emerge more clearly next season. Breaking a Deep BlockDuring the build up phase. the Wolves formation is pretty telling. The full backs are deep. the wingers are set wide and the two front players usually play over the shoulders of the opposing centre backs. However. further up the pitch the base formation loses any resemblance to itself when the West Midlands club attempt to unravel a medium to deep block or a very low block. This is often referred to as the second phase or even the progression phase. The structure of the wolves changes from a 4 4 2 or a 4 2 3 1 to a 3 1 6. Defensive issues: Wolves have been solid defensively under Lopeteguis reign. Wanderers have conceded 26 goals in 21 Premier League games. which isnt perfect but certainly better than many other teams in the same division.
