This is precisely the problem with this squad under Zidane - conditioned to think one way = 4-3-3 and cross until you bag it
Then Zidane goes and tries 3-5-2 like he very correctly did today, because a) Nacho has been fantastic at LCB in the past few weeks and you don't want to sacrifice him to get Ramos back in, b) our wingers aren't good enough for 4-3-3, c) not enough men in the box to get on the end of these crosses.
And what happens?
We create several really good moves i.e.:
- Fede lets Benzema loose on the RW, he then lays off to Lucas who flunks the touch and it goes out of play
- Mendy races down the left, Vini takes the defender from the middle with a run, Isco gets a layoff in the middle, loads of time, sticks it in the middle right into the goalie
- fantastic ball to Vini who does great and exactly what he should, beats the defender, crosses to Benzema who need to finish first time = FUCKS IT RIGHT UP LIKE YOU'D EXPECT
You know what's going to happen min 60? We go back to 4-3-3 by sacrificing a defender for Hazard/Rodrygo. Because that's what these cunts are used to doing.
