Nicolás Larcamón prepares for Sporting de Gijón debut amid tactical scrutiny

Sporting de Gijón manager Nicolás Larcamón is preparing for his competitive debut this Monday against Sabadell at El Molinón. Following a preseason consisting of three wins and three losses, Larcamón expressed satisfaction with the squad's restructuring and the integration of new players, though he noted the team is still working on cohesion.

Larcamón confirmed he expects to have Gaspar available for the match, likely as a substitute due to a recent injury. The club is also working to finalize the signing of defender Andrés Cuenca.

Despite the upcoming debut, Larcamón has already faced scrutiny. Club legend Eloy Olaya has publicly questioned the manager's tactical approach, specifically expressing dissatisfaction with the 3-5-2 or 5-3-2 formation used during recent training and matches, suggesting it does not fully utilize the current squad's characteristics.
