Club Brugge have had a fantastic start to the new Belgian Pro League season, with the Belgian side sitting top of the table after the first four matchdays, having scored 14 goals in those four matches.
They also scored five or more goals in their last four matches in all competitions, another outstanding statistic for Ronny Deila’s side.
Another thing is that the goals have been spread evenly between a good majority of the attacking players.
Looking at the goals for each key attacking player, Philip Zinckernagel and Tajon Buchanan each have three, Andreas Skov Olsen has five, along with strikers Igor Thiago and Roman Yaremchuk each scoring four in all competitions.
This relatively even spread of goals shows that Deila is looking to circulate the ball to all areas of the final third and is not just looking to have one key goalscorer on this side.
This tactical analysis will look at some of the attacking principles and tactics that are beginning to show up as the Norwegian manager begins to grasp his new side.
We will analyse these in more detail, analysing what has made them such a high-octane attacking side so far in this young season.
