@Jjj1971614@someballfacts These are not the only moments of the game. If you want some more examples of specifically long balls, look at the mane penalty claim. Also these goals come from a successful press and high line.
@Jjj1971614@someballfacts I agree, almost every goal comes from a cumulation of errors - pique and alba the worst. However these errors are forced by our style of play, and made easy from the play of your forwards (Messi and Suarez in this occasion) allowing us to hit long balls under no pressure.
@Jjj1971614@someballfacts Mane is running in behind, just because the ball is incomplete doesn't mean there wasn't a defensive lapse. Also no pressure? He has shaq + trent in front, hendo closing him down and mane behind. He either goes to busquets who is covered by hendo or go back and risk mane.
@Jjj1971614@someballfacts Again all players must buy into a high line. If your forwards don't close down the opposition, your defence is exposed with long balls in behind. One example - for the first goal Matip is allowed freely to drive forward and play the ball in behind while Messi stands and watches.
@TypicallyJayden When he beats his man - he usually crosses, wins a set piece or shoots - he rarely ever just gives the ball away. Decision making still can be improved but nowhere near as bad as its made out to be
@Jjj1971614@someballfacts Defending is done as a unit. Especially with the extremely high line Barcelona had in that game. Watch the game and see how easy it was for us to play out. Maybe you can blame the coach for employing these tactics when you have an ineffective presser
@CuleFermin@someballfacts ??? Is this a WC game? In international football you can get away with it because the quality is shit. Modern elite teams will make you pay
@Jjj1971614@someballfacts Did you watch the game or just a tiktok? This game called for defending a lead in a hostile environment. Also almost everything positive here comes from Fabinho unable to make a challenge because he got unjustly booked in the 10th minute. Captain sets the tone.
@MchaelSNM1 Our fans rate int performances but when its Gakpo who has lowkey been the only player itw (along with Rodri ig) to perform great at the last three major tournaments, they understand the level.
@riomarojay One of the best campaigns of all time and they're talking about psg "dynasty starts after you". Won the UCL with an attack of Werner, Mount, Havertz
@Eagle10ii This team literally was in disarray getting cooked in the media because bellamy bust up riise with a golf club the week before. They were the two scorers in this game. Also arbeloa's full debut
