From what I from their training, they practice sharp short passing in tight spaces. But when we play from the back like this every player is so spread out and isolated. If we turn the ball over in Atalanta's half, that's when the players that close cluster of players should be able to work the ball forward with one touch passes. But on the few occasions where we repossessed the ball in their half. No enough Juve players are close. Midfield is simply not working hard enough in those moments to transition
That was the only good thing he did, actually. If he didn't let that ball out, the refs would have called an offside on Kean, who was good 2 meters offside on that Fagioli pass.
How did we get from like 28% possession in the first 25 minutes to 53% possession by the end of the first half? We gave away the ball every 3 seconds. There’s no way we had over half the possession.
