San Pedro Sports adopts a 4-2-3-1 formation at home, implementing an aggressive pressing system in the front field. The two defensive midfielders have clear - cut responsibilities. The forward - positioned one intercepts and blocks the opponent's passing routes from the backfield. Meanwhile, the other disrupts the rhythm of the opponent's defensive line movement through continuous lateral passing.
In the front court, when competing for high balls, Aurora players enjoy a wide field of vision. However, their weakness is evident in long - term positional attacks. The front - line players' running positions often overlap, making it difficult to create consecutive shooting opportunities against a compact defense.
When the full - backs make forward charges, large gaps are left behind for the opponents to launch counter - attacks. After 70 minutes of continuous running, the players' physical fatigue becomes obvious. Once they gain the upper hand in the game, they retreat to the flanks of the defense, avoiding a hasty all - out offensive that could expose defensive loopholes.
