As the season progresses, it is clear that Osijek's coaching staff has implemented a new strategy that yields results. This change is not just tactical; it also reflects the players' mentality. Instead of a traditional system, Osijek strongly focuses on high pressing and quick transitions.

B. Barišić and D. Čolina are key players in this approach; their understanding of the midfield allows the team to win balls high on the field. In the recent match against Slaven Belupo, Osijek displayed greater possession height and attacking intent. This change results in increased goal opportunities and coherent gameplay.

Key moments in this game reflect numbers: Osijek is in 4th place with 29 goals scored so far, which is no coincidence. The coach encourages flexibility and freedom of movement, creating unpredictable situations for opponents. Through this prominent gameplay, Osijek secures a solid position in the fight for the top of the league.
