@fc_mossman Will we count Elliot Anderson in this category? 😢😂

@LamdarhriAchraf The focus on playing through the centre is amazing to watch, hopefully we see more of the same in further rounds

Right now it’s looking like a stroll for them- but playing one touch passes like this with supporting runs will work against any level of opposition!

Andddd Raphina is now playing on the right side after the drinks break

Not sure on how the balance of the team sits in this Brazil side 🇧🇷

With Raphina playing on the left, Paqueta being on the right but always drifts inwards & Ibanez not the most attacking fullback

Expecting all attacks to run from the left

The World Cup is underway and there is already a pattern we can see from teams to create high quality chances.

Mexico took just 8' to score using it.

We saw it across many leagues this season, and now its on the biggest stage.

Expect a lot of this across the next 102 games, pressing as a unit and picking the right moments might be the difference between winning & losing.

Tournament football, all you need is ONE CHANCE.

Seen some clips of Japan🇯🇵 in the lead up to the Word Cup.

Wouldn’t be surprised if they go deep into the tournament!

Backing them to take top spot in Group F 💪

@Tactx_ Directness and verticality - really helps that there is a clear plan for him and others around him are supporting it

Yamal vs Hall, might see this battle in the World Cup as well 🤞

@JohyanCruyff Dangerous game, leaves the ones defending in a tough spot, the throw in from Danso, Fofana missed his header and Caicedo left his man!
Bentancur received it from 2 yards out

Counter attack yes, but not enough defenders to cover for each other

Difficult trade-off

[Pressing Issues @pressingissues8]

@CounterPressers Hoping that he gets the nod ahead of Isak for the upcoming games, feel like he’s done nothing wrong and still lost his place in the starting XI

[Pressing Issues @pressingissues8]

@fariskhan_ PSG are one of the teams that also get into situations like this

The difference is how Dembele drops into this space and Nuno Mendes find him the space, from where he can turn and go

No CB follows him, best examples are from the UCL games vs Arsenal & Liverpool

@pranav_m28 Receiving on the half turn for sure!

@pranav_m28 Tonali just to mess with Newcastle more 😂
