WE NEED TO BE PERFECT IN THESE GAMES
“In these form of video games, we have to be excellent and on this sport we weren’t excellent. The frustration is all the time the identical due to the quantity of possibilities we have to rating objectives. We have to work on quite a lot of issues for the subsequent sport. In these form of video games, with high groups, the small margins will make the distinction. The efficiency shouldn’t be good, in sure moments they had been higher than us and ultimately you do not have feeling.”
NUMBER OF MIDFIELDERS IS NOT THE PROBLEM
“It’s the identical factor, it’s all the time the identical dialog. They [City] put 4 within the center, we now have three central defenders and two midfielders. You may see Bryan [Mbeumo] is all the time inside and [Benjamin] Sesko is there, in order that dialog is all the time the identical factor. We play final yr the identical approach – after all with distinction as a result of the opponent is enjoying otherwise towards Liverpool, towards all these groups in the identical approach.
“So it’s not the midfielders as a result of, once more, in case you really feel that what you’ll do within the first aim has to do with the quantity of midfielders. Doku receives the ball, turns to the defence after which takes two guys contained in the field. Then the second half, we begin very well with two midfielders. You’re close to the field controlling the sport after which throw-in, aim. Third aim, you’re controlling the sport, making an attempt to open the sport, Bryan has an ideal alternative, Amad is pushing on the facet, we had some distraction with going to the ball, Haaland has all the sector to run so it’s to not do with the midfielders.
“It’s the best way you need to see the video games. I noticed quite a lot of groups enjoying right here [at the Etihad Stadium] with 5 midfielders simply blocking and so they undergo greater than us. I see quite a lot of video games from Manchester United enjoying right here with quite a lot of midfielders. Alternatives generally with one, two, so it’s not about that. Once more, generally we play with the three defenders, 5 defenders, generally it’s 5 midfielders or two midfielders. It will depend on the sport of the opponent.”
