Cerezo Osaka played a friendly with JFL side FC Osaka (40 minutes x 3 games) today and won 12-0 in total. Looking at the lineups (see below), it seems manager Yoon Jong-hwan is considering switching the formation back from 3-4-2-1 to their original 4-4-2. Considering that 3-4-2-1 was first employed not because he wanted to but had to, and they haven’t played well in the recent games, this is understandable although not sure if it works well.
