Looking at FC St. Gallen's current team, their distinctive playing style immediately stands out. Under the guidance of their coach, the team has found a system that is solid defensively while being dangerous offensively. Particularly the role of central midfielders, especially H. Vandermersch, is crucial for the team's success.
Statistics show that FC St. Gallen has less ball possession compared to other teams in the league but a higher efficiency in counterattacks. The players are trained to win the ball quickly and transition into attack immediately. This tactic has often led to crucial goals, as opponents are frequently caught off guard.
This style was particularly evident in the recent encounter against YB Bern: FC St. Gallen won the ball in their own half and launched an attack within seconds that led to a goal. Such moments make FC St. Gallen a lively and dangerous team, able to maintain control over games despite less possession.
Defensively, the organization of the team is noteworthy. With a stable defensive line, supported by defensive midfielders, FC St. Gallen is able to quickly neutralize opponents' attacks. This results in fewer goals conceded and an improved overall record. The key to their success so far lies in the perfect balance between offense and defense.
