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
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
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

some #BVB thoughts:
While I'd agree w Nico #Schlotterbeck re SCF being better until 1:1
I think #Terzic had a really good gameplan vs the 442 of #Streich (w man-orientations) in particular vs SCF 2nd line (Grifo-Doan issues defending space,manipulating double 6's man-orientation)
the caveat ofc is how it was EXECUTED by BVB:
-inaccurate passes, Hazard, Dahoud, Hummels, Malen
-failures to execute immediate switch yielding 2v1s (Bellingham)
- or take some risks w passes
- slow rotations hinder optimal progress (Modeste, Hazard)
-chance for Malen after Reus carry,
-Modeste cant hold the Hazard cross,
-Reus runs at defense
-cumulative xT edge in first 15'
