Union’s strategy in opposition to Nashville
Regarding the tactical alignment to start the game in a 3-5-2 formation and the plan behind switching that formation in the second half, Curtin said, “Obviously [we] started the game in a back three, just trying to neutralize a team in Nashville that is maybe struggling to create chances this season.” In general, we didn’t make many sacrifices. With a few tweaks, the second half emerged with a little more vitality.
