Two contrasting managers
Facundo Sava has installed an intense, direct and high-tempo style of play at Sarmiento, with his team pressing in numbers and transitioning quickly from defence to attack when in possession, often playing directly to the strength of the forwards.
Ricardo Zielinski has a more conservative and pragmatic approach to his game, keeping a solid block in possession, building patiently and pressing selectively, with his players regularly changing systems to ensure defensive solidity, often in the same game.
