Good game from him.
He also conceded the biggest chance of the match for Young Boys tbhPleased with his performance today. Hopefully returning to his solid and reliable self.
Oh I forgot that. My eyes were so full of blood and my brain so full of angst...He also conceded the biggest chance of the match for Young Boys tbh
Yeah, apparently De Vrij call to cover twice/I'm going to say that De Vrij was not the main culprit in Juve's first goal but Zielinski and even in the second, there was Zielinski doing a big mistake.
1st goal: Yes, De Vrij is pressuring quite far on the left flank, but that is not some big mistake (or not even a mistake at all). We play in a way that other players backs up (or should) when players go "out of position" (in quotes because our game is actually about being "positionless"). And it wasn't like CF was free because De Vrij was missing. It was McKennie who was free and Zielinski should have marked him. Or even Bastoni since Pavard had Vlahovic.
2nd goal: Yes, De Vrij could have anticipated that differently where the pass would end up. But before they entered the final "defensive" positions, De Vrij looked up that okay I have two guys behind me, maybe thinking they'll handle stuff behind me with Sommer (that lane between him and the goal line). It was too late for De Vrij to react that Bastoni would cover the cutback pass. To me Zielinski should have marked Weah better since Weah was in front of him the whole time and he didn't react Weah's movement at all when Weah did his brief run forward to the final scoring position. I think that play was a learning lesson for Zielinski that you cannot quasi-defend like that in this team. Maybe you have done that at Napoli and at Poland NT but at Inter everyone needs to defend properly.
Still had trouble with covering more space than he usually does, let’s see if he can grow with the role
Sure, but what the fuck is de Vrij actually doing on the second goal? Him pointing is great and all, but he was marking air and did nothing to eliminate the passing lane.Yeah, apparently De Vrij call to cover twice/
Guys, it seems that De Vrij has entered the "traffic cop" period. Remember Cambiasso?Yeah, apparently De Vrij call to cover twice/
