The opponent plays quick counter-attacking football, they pass the ball quickly to find an opening, but with MARC coming off his line often, it should be neutered. There are risks of course but they should be taken. MARC due to his ballplaying qualities must act as a 4th CB to support UMTITI given his poor match fitness. The trio RONALD GARCIA UMTITI must maintain a high line, GARCIA especially. RONALD along with MINGUEZA have to stay back upon dispossession due to their speed advantage. BUSQUETS is our key man for this game. He must not be put in a position to track back against rapid wingers and fullbacks the likes of Sane, Gnabry, Kingsley, and Davies. In the event of a counter, Busquets if too high up the field must run back to Barcelona's half without the intention of marking a player with pace, but to hold a position in space to receive the ball for a quick reply counter-attack. FRENKIE must play the role of the engine, and the role of the distributor to connect the defence to the midfield. He has to cover every blade of grass for this game. A few creative passes here and there would be a welcomed addition but aren't required. PEDRI plays a creative role to link the midfield to the attack. With his incredible vision, he could find pockets of spaces between the opposition's defence. They are likely to keep a high line as us, but we have to create intensity by pressing quickly when dispossessed. PHILIPPE is free to roam the field being the first man to press high up the field. He is to switch flanks and find the wingbacks when they overlap on the attack, and in defence, he has to press the opposition's midfield along with PEDRI. MEMPHIS does the holdup play to get the ball to PHILIPPE or to whoever is available. We have to be intense and physical if we are to win. Visca el Barca!
