Part 3/7:
Júnior's tactical journey began with a defensive setup, where he relied on a fourth-back line combined with midfield formations that echoed Real Madrid’s winning style from the previous European season. This approach involved a fluid attacking structure that manipulated positioning between players but lacked a conventional striker. As the tournament progressed, the inability to score caused Júnior to reconsider his formation, leading to further experimentation that did not yield the expected results against top-tier competition like Uruguay.
