After a period of eighteen months during which he had set aside his preferred formation, the 4-2-3-1, Auxerre coach Christophe Pelissier has decided to reintroduce it in recent weeks. This tactical reorientation comes at a crucial moment for AJA, currently embroiled in an intense battle for survival in Ligue 1. The club, currently occupying a relegation playoff spot, is preparing to face Olympique de Marseille this Friday during the 26th matchday. Pelissier’s gamble is whether this return to his strategic fundamentals can guide Auxerre towards securing their top-flight status.
