Bournemouth has just written a new page in their own history. The 2-1 victory right at San Sebastián against Real Sociedad was not just their first three points in their historic European campaign, but also a bold tactical statement under new head coach Marco Rose. But beware of sunstroke. Because even on that historic night, the English side revealed a fatal flaw that Liverpool and Chelsea – their upcoming opponents – will surely exploit.
The early goals from Justin Kluivert and Rayan were the product of a high-pressing, energetic style of football. They made Real Sociedad – a team that loves to control possession – look bewildered in their own half. But then, as the opponent adjusted and pushed back, Bournemouth retreated deep and accepted 'living in suffering.' Coach Rose admitted it candidly: 'We were not so sharp anymore.'
This is the fragile line between a great victory and a bad habit forming. Is this a sustainable model, or just a one-off explosion before the 'tactical bubble' bursts against real tests?
