Team Insight - Park Place

Andrey Borodin (0)

Hilario Ulloa (9)
Rosendo Torreguitar (6)

Apart from Park Place stalwart Hilario Ulloa and the team patron Andrey Borodin, we see a full change in line up from last year's Park Place side, unsurprising as they were unable to get to the Quarter Finals stages of either the Queen's or the Gold Cups. Juan Britos, who played with them for many years, and Rufino Merlos, who joined the side last year, have been replaced by Rosendo Torreguitar and Rufino Bensadon.

This tactical change will have a significant impact on the team's strategy which has in the past centered around feeding Hilario and clearing space for him to bring the ball, but with two such powerful attacking players added to the mix, it may well be that Hilario will be able to lean into his playmaking strengths and create plays for Rosendo and Rufino to share the goal scoring load. Having the attacking force more evenly spread throughout the team will mean opposing teams are less able to neutralise the threats. Where in the past taking out Hilario could render the team weak, now there will be plenty of passing options and forward running plays and the opposing teams defence will be spread thinner.
