Strangly it wasnt better on the side with Alba. The whole defense was completely off including DM. So bad positioning jumpd from one to the other. Idiotic to blame a single person for this.
If he would position wrong every game valverde would be a very bad coach cause this would ve the easiest thing to fix...
You have natural ability in positioning (and in every skill) and a part which is learned through experience and training.
In defending, some players naturaly "know" where to be.
Some others learn those skills over time, but will never be as good as those "naturals" (who have both a natural skill and a learning process).
The same is in attacking actions.
You can try to teach Munir, Sandro, Adama and other guys where to position themselves in order to score 1000s of easy tap-ins goals.
But they will never reach a level of positioning and reading the game, where to be in the right moment like CR7, Van Nistelrooy or some others who "have" it naturally.
So, in short, as always, if a player is truly bad naturally in some skill, he can improve up to a certain level, but he will never reach an elite level no matter how much he'll train and try to learn.
Other examples are: Halilovic's IQ, Adama's IQ, Bartra's positioning, Samper being scared etc.
