PLAY OUTSIDE

LEVEL OF SPANISH FOOTBALL REGARDING EUROPE

THE SYSTEM OF THREE CENTRALS
“It was not difficult for me to adapt to the three-center system, I did it at Fiorentina. The strength of this team is that we can do it with several systems. It also depends on each adversary, with a system of three centrals or four. It is true that in these games we have conceded, but in the same way that before how we defended was praised, now we must know that the whole team has to improve in the defensive phase, first we, the defenders, then the rest of the team.
MOTIVATION OR PRESSURE ON CHAMPIONS

We have a very strong opponent, with a new coach, now they have more continuity in the game. We are focused on the game ”.

CHANGE WITH TUCHEL
“They changed the system, they play with three centrals, now they dominate the game more. They have good results. We expect a very difficult game because they have young, talented, offensive players. We know that it will be a difficult game, but we are ready to make a positive game ”.
