Great run and control from Jimenez but shot was saved by the defender. That one will be on the highlights.
He scored a great one just now. Overtook one defender easily and the last defender didn’t close in on him. Dudes really good at using his size.
Huge result for the Wolves. I hope they won't sit back and defend the result they are a very good counter attacking team and might could end the series with an early goal or two next week.
That is some god damn awful defending. AYSO U08 Awful, dude kept backing off...backing off...backing off.... wtf
Just like they are great at counterattacks, Wolves generally are weak defending counterattacks so from that perspective, I don't think they need to do anything differently...
All three of those defenders need to get smacked... The duse that fouled the winger was just jogging perhaps thinking the advantage wouldn't be played. The 2nd defender looked gassed and couldn't keep up after that lame ass attempt at a standing tackle and the last man should have stepped up and closed down but kept backing off as you noted... I can't imagine whoever coaches Torino didn't give them a verbal beatdown in the locker room...
The defending was nothing short of awful. Not sure they'll be schooler by the coacj though. Many teams don't really care about the EL. The competition requires many games interfering with domestic leagues, an awful lot of traveling, and the winner "only" racks up 20 millions euros, when each team gets 40M just to feature in the group stage.
