Roger #Schmidt's 4231 w super distances invites Juve to press and then goes on exploiting it w low FBs (Juve WBs cant get there) playing the straight chip ball to the wide mid running down the line vs a side CB

#JuveBenfica

another pattern is to drop the great #Enzo in to the Toni Kroos space to manipulate Juve's 2nd line (see McKennie) w the low WBs and play behind for their wide mids. #Aursnes receives wide here, followed automatically by #Grimaldo rotating into the halfspace

just entirely too easy to switch and play behind Juve here w the great overloading runs of Rafa Silva + Goncalo Ramos to support Joao Mario

here it's just too easy for #Enzo to receive it, move it Antonio Silva (I'm so glad I discovered him in UYL last season, he's incredibly poised for an 18yo) and reach #JoaoMario btw the lines. Juve w no resistance

a quick restart and Juve try to press w the ball near 8 #McKennie on the FB #Grimaldo (while #Aursnes drags #Gatti out) - look at the separation #RafaSilva gets on #Cuadrado w that headfake

then what all this low buildup really wants to achieve is what #Juve (ul w the #Vlahovic miss just prior) been doing, send e1 and play 3v3 rest defense (#Cuadrado at DM??)
-#Aursnes quicker to 2nd ball + momentum w run
-#RafaSilva calling his goal for 3-1
