Trying to pass the ball around will not work. Senegalese players anticipate well, and they are strong physically. Most challenges they make end up causing a turnover in possession. The only player who can stand up to them is O Se-hun. Lump it out from the back at him.
Hanging in there against a very physically strong and fast squad. I am troubled by the unforced errors though -- missed passes when under zero pressure. Sigh.
I’m proud of the way they’re playing right now. We would not be in the position we are now if they had played like this from the get go.
