Interesting to see this was perceived as mostly a poor Dutch performance.
Never easy against a low block, and the numbers look quite good overall. š¦
Sassuoloās 4-4-2 in action. MatiÄ stepped forward but the deep jump from Berardi, off GonzĆ”lezās pass, meant that he could shadow the ball to AlajbegoviÄ, whilst encouraging Koop move it outside.
Tough night for Juve, @Joelazzo with the analysis: betweentheposts.net/sassuoloā¦
It's an Eredivisie novelty, but what about other leagues?
Both of Telstar's goals were scored by Ronald Koeman Jr.
Yes, Ronald Koeman's son.
Also: Telstar's goalkeeper.
Enzo Maresca: "Ili [Ndiaye] just had two sessions. He needs to understand how to move. Most of the time he was moving the wrong way, wrong position. But again, he needs to learn, and for sure he's going to learn...
"When Marc Guehi had the ball, he was dropping a lot. We don't need that. We need him in the last third so he can be a little higher. That space was more for Josko Gvardiol. It's the same this side; when [Abdukodir] Khusa had the ball, sometimes Antoine [Semenyo] was dropping, but Antoine has to stretch. That space is for Enzo [Fernandez]. But it's normal. With time they're going to learn the way we want them to play...
(That's where the goal came from!) "Exactly: Enzo wide, and then Antoine receiving in-behind, and we score..."
Monacoās in-possession shape. Nazinho looks for the rotation and makes the run into the half-space from the backline. Golovin switches wide instead of playing it short.Ā

Lille created space in behind PSGās defence through successive drops from MbappĆ© (decoy) and Haraldsson. The latter dragged Pacho higher while the former was already attacking the space left vacant, before receiving Santosā long pass.

Elversbergās aggressive press. Mokwa putting pressure on Tapsoba as Petkov prepares to jump on GutiĆ©rrez. Far-side winger Campbell shifts towards Fernandez as Onyeka closes down Garcia. Tapsoba with no short options.Ā

Comoās positional play pierced through a disorganised Napoli block.
Couto and Da Cunha placed tensions in the second line, free outside the block but creating a dilemma for Napoli wingers. Two-v-oneās created, diagonal runs to attack the last line and free to crash the box at the back post.
