00:00It's not a guy who scored a goal, maybe we saw Rodri with the goals he scored in that

00:05position so yeah listen when they defend with five in the back we start really

00:10well in two minutes we have two chances and they shape immediately four to five

00:14in the back and when they defend in five there is one man free in the ATR box

00:18that is Kovacic except Jimenez has to defend Kovacic

00:22otherwise there are no transitions so the two goals is because in that

00:26position they cannot defend it and today the first goal was brilliant the

00:31second one as well and you had to exploit more against teams that play five

00:34in the back and Kovacic was really important now the opponents know that

00:39they cannot leave him alone otherwise they can score a goal
