A common thing really. That is often a big issue for wing and fullbacks.
Juventus makes the play, press high. So there is alot of space behind him, wich he needs to manage. Positional awareness and decisionmaking suddenly become big factors.
At udinese, a rather counter based team, he never had those issues. he could fully concentrate on the offensive part.
And modern day football, really has very few fullbacks/wingbacks who are actually good at this.
Lichtsteiner and surprisingly asamoah, are very good at this. especially licht.
but it requires big stamina. Running 13+km per game. Its not for everyone.
remember in our top games when licht is totally destroying the opposing flank (and plays less the next 2 weeks), to be subbed out around 75th minute, when he's allready close to 13km run.
Thats one of the things that make him so damn great.
Thats exactly why you keep pepe.
Players that keep the moral high in the dressing room are golden. They are the ones who take care of the players going trough a hard time, they are the ones that are a buffer when the team is not doing well.
i would never ever sell pepe as long as he's relevant as a player for this reason
Pepe has perhaps the best aggression in italy, and is extremely good at pressing. He's like an asamoah for your 4-3-3. He is an attacker, but with the lunatic workrate of vidal and the agression of a pitbull terrier.
Tackling, i think they are somewhat simular. But pure defensively and tactically, Pepe is a very strong player for us to have.
You need to admire players for what they are. Isla isnt about the defensive part. He's supposed to be an offensive wingback for when you really need that offence.
