Lyon Changes Tactics to 4-4-2 After Lacazette Returns

In the wake of Alexandre Lacazette's return from injury, Lyon has made a tactical switch to adopt a 4-4-2 formation.

The French club had been playing in a 4-3-3 system before Lacazette's recovery, but they have now reverted to a more traditional 4-4-2 set-up that allows them to play with greater freedom and flexibility.

With Lacazette back in action, Lyon have looked more balanced on the pitch, with their forwards able to drop deeper into midfield to support the attack and provide cover for defenders.

This new formation also means that Lyon can play with a more attacking mentality, as the three central midfielders - Nabil Fekir, Bertrand Traoré and Maxwel Cornet - can push forward and create space for themselves and their teammates.

Overall, Lyon's tactical shift to 4-4-2 has been well-received by fans and critics alike, with many praising the club's ability to adapt to changing circumstances and remain competitive in one of Europe's top leagues.
