The furious pressing of the PSG in the Monaco final against an aforementioned and hinged Inter. If we understand it, next time it will be better

Before definitively archived the Champions League final, let’s save three lessons. The kick -off or courage. The PSG voluntarily sent him to the side, forward. A rugby touch. A threat: “Now we come to take you in your curtains”. They did it by pressing a furious and frightened Inter, like the three pigs. It was Sacchi who taught the world modern pressing. “Everyone learned it, except the Italians,” Arrigo had to recognize. We are children of the Piave, the mystique of the trench is still sacred. The last Scudetto was also won in defense. AC Milan was from Sacchi passed to Allegri who asks the defenders to run back. Dembélé or the sacrifice. When Sommer was set, the attacker observed him from the edge, slightly bent on his knees, with his bust forward, like a wrestler in the octagon, ready to jump on the opponent.

that hunger

Mbappé, for talent nobility, refused to get dirty with pressing. Pacho or hunger. Barella defends a ball that is ending in a corner. It seems impossible that the defender can reach it, instead Pacho, with a movement from Taekwondo, the harpoon, beyond the interist’s body, beyond hope, and the ball becomes 2-0. There was no single Inter player with that hunger. Everyone just get up from the table. Vitinha or technical quality. Two caresses, two assists. For us, the median is a department of demolitions, for Luis Enrique a cenacle of poets and put three 10. Courage, tactical idea and shared effort, hunger and poetry. If we understand it, next time it will be better.
