#AUT having huge issues breaking #NED first line of pressure: 3v3 (one of the CMs pressing) completely pinning players and unable to get around it.
Sabitzer, who was incredibly dangerous in that left half space is having to drop down to essentially play as a #6.

Just can't stress it enough: Alaba is not a CB for this team.
Some examples of this:
- 3v3 against (i.e. lots of players in the first line) making it difficult to create danger or 2v1s in wide areas that worked so well against Macedonia
- Sabitzer having to vacate halfspaces to get on the ball
- WBs position a hinderance (linked to above)

Freeing Alaba up to roam (ideally off the left), manipulates the Netherland's press and allows the two CFs to pin back Dutch CBs, and midfielders to stay higher.
