Talking Tactics
Tactically, Santos could be called similar to last season's Houston Dynamo. Their formation can vary from a 4-4-2 to a 4-3-3 depending on their opponent's strengths and weaknesses.
When it comes to the match against the Dynamo, only time will tell whether Santos fields a group of starters or reserves or what type of formation they'll line up in. Gomez sees a few similarities in both clubs and knows that Tuesday's result isn't the end of this series.
"When you look at our tactical formations, they vary from a 4-4-2 to 4-3-3. It all depends on the opponent, it all depends on who we have available, who's on the pitch. The coach has done a very good job at implementing those systems regarding personnel and the opponent."
It's going to be a tactical battle, a physical battle, and it's gonna be a 180 minute battle. It's important to remember the result in Houston isn't as important as the second result. We're definitely aware of that, this isn't our first rodeo."
"I still don't know who we'll field, what formation we'll be in. But we do cater to what we have in front of us. Without giving too much away, we do have a similar style of attack and defensively this team has changed so much.
I think we're one of the best defenses right now in Liga MX.
That all starts with the way we pressure up front, the way we move and close down gaps and keep those lines compact and make it difficult for our opponent.
It's going to be a battle, no doubt about it.
Santos didn't win the US/Canada leg in either of their MLS match-ups last year, they just obliterated both opponents in the home leg. I expect the same here: hard fought draw in Houston, complete domination in Torreon.
