UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

Time to bastard again.

Tactics versus Juventus

As you can see we lined up with Lozano and Sanchez acting as wing-backs and Theo Walcott in a defensive midfield role. These three are the only attacking outlets for Kylian Mbappe on his own up top. Lozano and Sanchez will overlap the flanking defensive midfielders who fill their void whilst attacking. Alli drops as the combined pace of Mbappe, Walcott, Sanchez & Lozano make four players seem like 5 or 6 on the counter.

Due to Tielemans and Goretzka’s suspensions, I fulfilled Tielemans’ sweeper role with Laurent Koscielny and Xhaka filled in for Goretzka as the left-sided defensive midfielder.

Of course, all of this doesn’t work if Gonzalo Higuain thundercunts two goals in from 30 yards.
