Why can't you? Mourinho, Ancelotti teams have done that successfully in the past.
You can adapt and tweak stuff based on your opponents.
You can still retain the basic principles.
You can play out from the back but when there's obvious risk you can go direct.
I really don't get teams trying to be sophisticated against superior opposition.
If you can't pull it off, go long.
This dogmatic insistence on playing out from the back is so stupid.
Pep does it coz he can afford it.
With FDJ out, spotlight will be on this guy.
He's the only one Xavi will play at DM now(unless he opts for a kid).
Whether he's a good transfer, we'll know within the next 2 months.
Physically he's a beast. Immense combination of strength and pace.
But in terms of marking, tactical discipline and defensive positioning, Chistensen is a level above him as of now.
On the ball, both Kounde and Christensen are a level above him.
Not everyone suits the bald look.
If you have the resources then why not?
Generally, everyone prefers a full head of hair.
Bald men aren't alpha males by default. Pep is bald and loves men and behaves like a neurotic crackhead.
