What will be the attacking formation of Kerala Blasters FC for the 2022 – 2023 season? Which partnership will take over from last season’s Jorge Pereira Diaz-Alvaro Vasquez partnership? Let’s see…
There is no Diaz-Alvaro alliance
Jorge Pereira Diaz and Alvaro Vasquez lead the attack for Kerala Blasters FC in the 2021-2022 season. Both scored eight goals each and provided three assists. With only days left for the 2022-2023 season, what will be Kerala Blasters FC’s new attacking line-up? As in the 2021-2022 season, two foreign strikers have joined Kerala Blasters FC this time. Greek center forward Dimitrios Diamantakos and Australian-Greek striker Apostolas Giannu.
Diamantakos – Giannu
The Greek connection of Dimitrios Diamantakos and Apostolas Giannu is almost certain to lead the attack for Kerala Blasters FC in the 2022-2023 season. Center striker Dimitrios Diamantakos is known as Fox in the Box. The 29-year-old Greek star is a sharp shooter who keeps the ball in front of the opposing goal. It is also worth noting that Dimitrios Diamantakos has played in the two-striker format in the past.
Australian striker Apostolas Giannu is adept at creating and creating chances. It is this brilliance that will pave the way for Dimitrios Diamantakos and Apostolos Giannou to be in sync with each other on the field. Another fact is that Apostle Giannu is also a boxer.

Diamantakos – Adrian Luna
The main problem that the Dimitrios Diamantakos-Apostolas Giannou striking combination is going to face is that both are box players. Both will try to wreak havoc inside the box. Therefore, there is a need for proper communication and mutual cooperation between them. The effectiveness of this alliance will only be revealed once the 2022-2023 season begins. Where this problem lies is the need for Adrian Luna.
If such a situation arises, the Dimitrios Diamantakos – Adrian Luna alliance will be formed. Adrian Luna’s intelligence and Dimitrios Diamantakos’ clinical finishing will form the core of this partnership. Adrian Luna is good at creating chances outside the opposition box. Adrian Luna can also become the second striker behind Dimitrios Diamantakos. Adrian Luna has revealed his presence as a playmaker in the 2021-2022 season.
Gianu – Bidyashagar Singh
It is impossible for all players to stay on the field for 90 minutes in every match. The coach will change the field depending on the occasion. In such a situation, the attack alliance of Apostle Gianu and Bidyashagar Singh will be formed.
Dimitrios Diamantakos and Apostolas Giannu are sharp attackers inside the opposition box. Therefore, it is not wrong to make Apostle Jianu a center forward. Bidyashagar Singh can be used as second forward in such a scenario. Bidyashagar Singh’s plus point is his quick attack. Bidyashagar Singh is adept at penetrating through the spaces that Apostle Gianu creates inside the opposition box.
Vukomanovic’s strategy
The 4 – 4 – 2 formation was used by head coach Ivan Vukomanovic in Kerala Blasters FC for the 2021 – 2022 season. That means two strikers in attack. Jorge Pereira Diaz and Alvaro Vazquez were the Serbian head coach’s attackers last season. Apostolas Giannu and Dimitrios Diamantakos in the team this time are actually center forwards. Therefore, we have to wait and see whether Ivan Vukomanovic will change his style.

Behind them are Sourav Mandal, Bryce Miranda, Sahal Abdul Samad, K. P. Kerala Blasters FC has several attacking midfielders like Rahul. The highlight is that they score goals from the outside without entering the box and attacking.
