Michael Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Just now, Machado said: Indeed. He doesn't play like your regular 21 year old, that's for sure. Very dominating. Leipzig with a nice start but seemed a bit anxious in the last third. They don't shoot much and they don't shoot well. Carrasco a breath of fresh air for Atletico. Leipzig's passing in the final third hasn't been the best tonight, with Angelino and Poulsen the main culprits so far in my opinion. But I think they need a natural finisher like Schick on. Poulsen always works so hard for the team and when on form he's very dangerous, but it just didn't go well for him in that 1st half. A more natural finisher like Schick is what I think Leipzig need. He's also great at holding up the play. He doesn't work as hard as Poulsen, but Leipzig have plenty of other players who can do the running out there, they need Schick's finishing touch I believe.

That was my point, he isn't worth anywhere near £80 million. Probably £30 million at most in today's market and that might be me being kind.

Don't think it was a good move for him with the way Atletico play. You get the feeling if they had 20 players on the pitch, they'd still play with 20 players behind the ball. Benefits the Diego Costa type of player and does the opposite for the João Felix type. Griezmann did well enough there so I guess it can work for him but might take time.

Michael Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Some lovely crisp passing by Leipzig. I guess Morata is going to come on for Diego Costa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted August 13, 2020 Author Administrator Share Posted August 13, 2020 This is the worst I've seen Atletico play in ages. Maybe they're suffering from the extended break but even so, it's very underwhelming. Usually they're passing is accurate and precise. Never seen them misplace so many. If Leipzig had a better player than Poulsen (or if Werner was still there) I can imagine it'd be more than just 1-0 so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simeone convinced him, probably promissing more playing time than he would have at City, but Pep was always the ideal coach for him. Amazing talent. And totally changed the game tonight.
