Great game. Still only 20 years old. Mad talk here all week that we need a new left back. I'm with Ale.
Basta ya.
Basta ya.
Great news for us. Coz he's been doing well this seasonThat guy's injured
You all need to watch the first half again. He was awful and Bayerns every attack came through diagonals to olise who was alone every time.
Henry also called him out too he was really bad tonight
Exactly.Yes that is true but the reason for that has been mentioned here before. Flick's system is to have one atttacking full back and one defensive. Kounde sits for the most part and is very rarely found in attacking areas. Lamine is assigned the right attacking zone.
Ale has to push up in order to provide left sided width as Raphinha is assigned to move more centrally. Without Ale occupying the left attacking zone, Raphinha has to occupy that space and not the central space. Which means Raph is not in the position to score his 1st and 3rd goals.
Ale can be beaten with this stick of leaving the left back space open all season long, but people need to understand the huge benefits he is bringing by playing so high up as well.
