Attack is the best form of defence time to unleash Chiesa and Cuadrado
That’s just a nonsense platitude that has never really applied to any sport.
There’s another well-known sports maxim too, ya know.
“Defense wins championships.”
What is actually the case is that well-balanced teams that can both attack and defend well are the best teams. Which is why Zidane Madrid was so good. Which is why our two CL final teams were so good. Which is why Klopp Liverpool were so good. Etc etc. All well-rounded teams.
We are currently a mess both in defence and attack. But I absolutely know which I prefer being fixed first, defense, because it will create a more solid and organized team that will eventually lead to more freedom and opportunities in attack.
Y’all talk about attack and possession but until we have a solid, well-organized base teams will just run rough shod over our midfield and back line if we try to do this “attack is the best defence” nonsense.
