Of course, forwards helping the defense is a big problem for Real Madrid, for example. You don't experience this at Barcelona. Barcelona forward Lewandowski often helps the defense and is tall enough to clear the ball from the defense. Sometimes, a ball coming off the defense can even create a goal-scoring opportunity for Barcelona.
Yeah! I can confirm, even before flick that has always been Barcelona system although it was quite different as some players are always alllowed to conserve their energy but in Barcelona now, I think only a single player is allowed to conserve energy, it could be Lewy, Rapha or Lamine but Lamine always has more option to stay out
but
However, with the presence of Ferran
heLamine always help the defence more while Ferran
stays out ..I don’t see that in Realmadrid either although they do fall back but not to the extent of going all in for defence, probably that was
part of their previous manager
tacticstrategy because he’s been there for long.. it could be different this time maybe
