Regardless of the result and defensive blunders, i really really liked what i saw today and it's still very early on!
The players looked unleashed, like smth was holding them back untill now and could deliver their full potential.
Even when winning we were underperforming according to our actual value last years.
We showed a new beast today, a beast that can beat any team in the world at those moments!
Not Pjanic or CR7 dependant, we ve shown creativity, ambition and smth more, like we were enjoying kicking that ball.
I don't know if Sarri has managed to instill this, or just the players were eager to change things.
I m sure they were intentionally holding back after the Ajax disqualification last year, but this is smth more, it goes beyond that, we will see how far in the future.
However today we can be sure that Sarriball tactics started to take root, that swift one twos kicked in and our rythm was frenetic.
This needs some time to become ours and I'm very glad that we already started to own it!
The coach and players did a serious job to have it ready already!!
