@HBM_afc You are terrible at understanding. Those two you mentioned are forward players.
A midfielder is not supposed to take so many touches or make unnecessary runs. Listen to the video again without bias
England is the only country Pep Guardiola went to and his idea of football didn't reflect in their national team, and they didn't win the world cup during his stay.
@Yemisegs@zahamkhi@Wizarab10 There were constantly carving the team open while both of them were on the pitch. They hit bar like 2x, Pickford made some good saves while they were on the pitch. Like I said James was injured, while Rice was physically exhausted.
Thomas Tuchel! How do you start defending 1:0 from 56 minutes. Not just defending, there were booting the ball aimlessly.
Keeping the ball is still the best form of defense.
@Yemisegs@Wizarab10 You mean the Rice that has been absent all through the competition. He was average as usual. As for James, he was injured; as expected
@_theFisayo@jagabanoftweets You really underrate those two names you mentioned. England is never going to match them in possession but they are going to hassle and disrupt their tempo while leveraging the pace they have all over the team.
The energy of their midfield going to play a role
@_theFisayo@jagabanoftweets Thomas Tuchel won't give Spain that kind of Freedom on the ball that France gave them yesterday. They have the players to rattle Spain's midfield.
