Nobody in Serie A presses higher than Como, and their back line steps up to catch you offside.
“I dati SICS confermano che la squadra di Fàbregas è prima in campionato per intensità di pressing alto e seconda per fuorigioco provocati.”SICS data confirm that Fàbregas's side is first in the league for high-pressing intensity and second for offsides provoked. our translation
Como want the ball and almost everyone is on the move, so there is nearly always a team-mate free in front of the man on the ball. Nico Paz, the full-backs and the wingers never stand still.
“I giocatori di Fàbregas hanno sempre le idee chiare sulla giocata da effettuare in fase di costruzione e di rifinitura, perché il movimento continuo di tutti gli elementi – soprattutto di Nico Paz, dei due terzini e dei due esterni offensivi – crea sempre una linea di passaggio verticale.”Fàbregas's players always know exactly what to do with the ball when building up and when creating chances, because the constant movement of everyone — above all Nico Paz, the two full-backs and the two wide forwards — always opens up a forward passing line. our translation
Once they are ahead, Fàbregas will happily bring on an extra defender and pack his defence to see the game out.
“al minuto 65′, il cambio Kempf per Diao ha determinato il passaggio a un vero e proprio 5-4-1 difensivo, da parte della squadra di Fàbregas”on 65 minutes, bringing Kempf on for Diao switched Fàbregas's side to a genuine defensive 5-4-1 our translation
PSG hunt the ball back fast and keep their defensive line high, so a quick break can catch them, especially when Hakimi has stepped into midfield.
“En cherchant à récupérer rapidement le ballon et à maintenir une ligne défensive haute, les Parisiens s’exposent parfois aux projections rapides de leurs adversaires, notamment lorsqu’Achraf Hakimi est appelé à renforcer l’entrejeu sur certaines séquences.”By trying to win the ball back quickly and keep a high defensive line, the Parisians sometimes leave themselves open to quick breaks, especially when Achraf Hakimi is asked to move into midfield. our translation
PSG counter quickly when they win the ball back, and Man City's first worry is stopping those breaks.
“City will want to stop PSG's rapid counters and having Bouaddi in midfield could help with that.”Expect at least one player in a position he does not normally play. Luis Enrique changes the line-up and the shape from week to week, and not every experiment works.
“Depuis son arrivée à la tête du PSG il y a trois ans maintenant, Luis Enrique n’a jamais caché son amour pour les coups tactiques et les expérimentations.”Since he arrived at the head of PSG three years ago now, Luis Enrique has never hidden his love of tactical gambles and experiments. our translation
