Potential problem area for the USMNT now and in 2nd half. Acosta paying attention to Alvarez and Williamson on Herrera. Tecatito takes Bello inside, meaning USA’s left side is open when Hoppe steps high. That means an almost-constant 2v1 of dos Santos and Chaka vs Lletget. -T
One example: Moreno finds Chaka wide as US high press. Hoppe bypassed and Lletget has to slide over to cover, meaning JdS now wiiiiide open, and #USMNT has to scramble to cover. -T
BTW, Lletget did REALLY well here. Instead of trying to pressure Chaka, he moved to get between him and the ball into space for dos Santos, and the move had to stop as a result. -T
