Houston Dynamo: Stick with 4-3-3 in CONCACAF Champions League
Houston Dynamo brought a sharply honed 4-4-3 defensive line-up to CONCACAF Champions League. Liga MX’s Tigres UANL brought the same on March 5.
For the first of two CONCACAF Champions League games in the quarter-finals, Tigres UANL of Liga MX showed a mirror image of Houston Dynamo’s 4-3-3 formation, defensive scheme. And the visitors won a 2-0 shutout in the effort.
The loss doesn’t mean Houston should abandon the 4-3-3, however.
If Houston head coach Wilmer Cabrera should try another go-to formation in Dynamo’s final match vs. Tigres on March 12, it won’t make much difference to Tigres UANL.
