@_elandur Yeah, let's go back to attack with 10 and defend with 8 that got Ancelotti,Xabi,Arbeloa sacked and Brazil knocked out against Norway... When will this dumb fanbase understand that left CM moving to track right back is a OOP weakness and teams are exploiting that.
@_elandur Yeah, coaches thinks Vinicius if played inside forward can't come back and track right back ( not even hard working players can pull that off let alone Vinicius who is lazy in OOP) but arm chair tactician thinks he can and coaches are just not applying it .
@_elandur Have you even watched Brazil and Vincius you dumbass.
How does one claim to follow Vincius and think with the left over brain cells and come up with conclusion that he is going to play inside forward and then could track his man in OOP.
This reeks of low footy IQ.
@abdule_10 Freedom ball era is over and is too dependent on turning up for champions league.
If Madrid want to continue relay on freedom ball with players doing what ever they feel like then trophies are hard to come by.
@_elandur Did you dumb ass not seen Vinicius was not tasked with any defensive duties on right back for Brazil because he was central.
Are you so idiotic that you think placing Vinicius from left wing to central will have no tactical headaches in OOP and IP.
It is 7th minute , 1-0 up and Barca has 7 people in the box in a static attack.
This is how they create chances after chances and clean ones too.
By having forwards who are defensively responsible and midfield that is positionally responsible.
Biggest idiotic thing we did was going back to left wing dominated attack through Vinicius like last seasons..Betis was very content with Bellerin taking care of the one on one.
They pressed right side and gave space on left for our supposed dribbler.
@RDrfx_RMCF Vinicius forced deep curler 4x and didn't even get past first guy in the second half. Entire second half fell through due to going back to Vinicius era of last seasons.
