Wow !! 122 in that time ?
The times also has an excellent breakdown min by minuet.
The problem for me with imposing the national pysce thing on the Argentine match was this team is different!
They have scored most goals after 70 mins.
Messi is a very different player to attack.
He was marked so well to begin with by Spence ,Jude and others. But we fell back on him
Messi was just like a ball machine endlessly crossing the ball , like those ball machines on a tennis court.
Apparently he plays like a robot with no emotion. He doesn't move much because he's watching and thinking and being strategic which he can afford to do when he is standing and not in the fray. He's like a chess player and can see moves ahead of time.
He had about 30 mins of pleasure to do his best in the goal area.
I'm wondering if tuchel had a strategy for this because they did the same at a few games.
So with a team that seems to specifically like to be down to get that zone commitment to winning it's a different kettle of fish for us also with a unique star.
