Meet the Emergence of a ‘New’ Darío Osorio
FC Midtjylland host Nottingham Forest in the Europa League return leg. The Danish side won 1-0 in England in the first match. Darío Osorio is available after serving a suspension.
The Chilean has become a focal point for the team. Meet the emergence of a ‘new’ Darío Osorio who shows greater defensive discipline.
Tactical shift and new role
Midtjylland have used a 3-4-3 or 3-4-2-1 formation this season. That setup has pushed Osorio into the right wing-back role. He now performs more defensive duties than before.
Coach praise after Silkeborg
After a 4-0 victory over Silkeborg, coach Mark Tullberg singled out Osorio. Tullberg credited him with enabling the system and influencing the match.
Osorio thanked the coach and said he took the praise calmly. He admitted he would have liked greater attacking impact but welcomed recognition. These comments appeared on the club’s site and were cited by Filmogaz.com.
Osorio on team focus and the Nottingham Forest tie
Osorio says he does what the coach asks and will continue to help the team. He accepts the need to work harder defensively and to play deeper when required.
On the return leg, he stressed the team must give 100 percent. A 1-0 away win does not allow for relaxation, he said. Midtjylland aim to repeat their season-long approach to reach the last eight.
