Jude Bellingham is lighting up Real Madrid already. He’s bossing the midfield in the famous Zidane 5 shirt, scoring winning goals, and has the Bernabeu singing his name. And yes, he is still only 20 years old.
But how is he doing it? What is he bringing to Real Madrid? Sam Tighe explains.

#RealMadrid #Bellingham #RMCF - Спорт
Madrid needed a Striker who could play the roles of a Midfielder like passing and linking up. Instead, they found a midfielder who can play the roles of a Striker. Absolute Ancelotti masterclass.
With you until you mentioned Ancelotti. Not sure how he gets any credit for Judes existence. Jude would do that for any manager that had him in their team
Bellingham now playing as a false 10
Zidane came to Madrid and won 3 champion league because Ancelotti left. Absolute masterclass from Ancelotti
@@sidney_433there's no way of knowing what might or might not have happened if ancelotti stayed, so no point in mentioning it
@@sleepingstate1978like southgate's England?
Only Jude can enable this setup because the elite distance and territory he covers. He is number 8, 10 and false 9 in one. Complete package.
I really hope he doesn't burn out.
He is so entertaining to watch.
@@srenjensen2625he’s not even in his prime
@@srenjensen2625 Not like he just came out of the academy. He had been doing it in Dortmund. So I'd say he has learned to look after himself
@@TheSaladin777I think he is talking about excessive game time leading to injuries, the same thing that is happening to Pedri and now Musiala
Madrid probably have the best midfield depth in the world they will definitely rest him when needed @@thatracingguy5694
He is 100% a generational talent
Yet Barça fans say he is only good for goals
the best english midfield talent since david batty
@@thatracingguy5694 cuz they saw a video of him joking with his mates in a game of two touch, that fanbase is hilarious 😂
@@dasmilyshelf7500jude n vini need names now 😂
The word "generational talent" has lost its meaning
It's amazing how resourceful Ancelotti is. And it's like he's becoming even more creative as he grows older. Must be remembered as one of the all time greats.
Positionally, that looks a lot like Ancelotti’s old AC Milan - very different, modern players. But narrow wide forwards, diamond midfield…
w o w! that is absolutely right! Bellingham like modern day Kaka from this AC team
Can we applaud how good of a coach Carlo is! He transformed so many players to world class players with his tactics ❤
Yes, that's his specialty. He's done this for over 3 decades. Coached Zidane, Maldini, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Pirlo and Cristiano Ronaldo himself.
He's been getting a lot of flak since last year for his philosophy. But critics are rather silent now. I'd say the applaud should be as loud as the booing.
@@Chip_Fuse totally bro! if you see Jude being flourish under Carlo, you'd know why. this formation is low key a flase 9 4-3-3 with Vini and Rodrygo on either flank. he's the midfield that does all the link up and also dashing into the box to score some goals (in fact he scored a lot in his first 4 games)
his vision and his stamina is gonna fit this so well. everyone was worried when benzema gets old and has now left the club. RM didn't buy any high profile strikers (room for Mbappe to join I guess) but Carlo loves using whatever he gets in his squads and turn them into a world class squad.
classic like u mentioned is AC Milans. where he has all these numbers 10s and turned them into the famous Christmas tree formation
gotta love this dude bro ❤ and I'm not even a RM fan!
He hasn’t transformed Jude though, Jude has always been good but honestly hasn’t been playing at his best in Madrid
he was terrible with everton lol
Real Madrid fans have been dragging him but when you really look at how he's been coaching them he's actually doing a great job mind you the team is still relatively new and they're all still getting used to each other but he knows where each player is weak where each player is strong and caters to that
I never doubted that bellingham would do well at madrid, but this is way beyond expectations
He is exceptional and I cannot stop being concerned about his long-term health due to the sheer number of games he's already playing at 20. Like, I really, really hope he stays healthy, he's a blast to watch, but dude's been playing 40+ games a year since he was 17. It's a lot.
As a Dortmund-Fan, I dare to say that he is fairly robust, although his absence in the last two games because of a slight muscle injury probably cost us the Championship. His presence on the pitch stood out the most when he was already gone: have a look at the start of the season of Dortmund. They are struggling because they’ve lost their creative mind in the midfield, and also a silent leader. It’s successor Julien Duranville is luckily healthy now and will hopefully make an impact this weekend.
@@julianschmidt147yes, people severely underestimated how important Jude was for the team. Sometimes it’s the players who play every game that you underrate the most, you only realise their worth when they’re gone
Bellingham will get the Ballon d'Or at some point
Next year, at this rate
Not while there is Halaand, Mbappe
@@onke not true.
Eventually, but he's got strong competition. At least the days of the duopoly are gone.
Mbappe? Unless PSG win the Champions League, he shouldn't get anything. You can't win the Ballon d'Or when your club can't win anything outside of the french league @@onke
What an exceptional and versatile player he is! The way he receives and carries the ball was one-of-a-kind. His qualities and physique give the lad the ability to perform more than decent in any position that he fills in. My hats off, Jude ❤❤❤
Lovely player ❤❤
Three generational midfielders and Madrid managed to get all of them. Crazy pulling power from Los Blancos
generational??
@@dswill3709Bellingham, Camavinga and Tchouameni
@@losk3442 Bellingham yes but are Camavinga and Tchouameni really generational? Being very good or even great doesn't mean generational, there's only 8 or so generational players in any given generation at most. Are Camavinga and Tchouameni in the Iniesta Xavi Modric Kroos KdB tier for this generation? Otherwise the word "generational" doesnt mean anything
@@za9883 You're acting as if Iniesta, Xavi, Modric, Kroos, KDB were performing at a high level with great stats at such a young age. When in reality most of these players became what they are by the time they reached their mid 20s and were able to achieve everything right after. Camavinga is unstoppable, still so young with a potential to become a top 5 mid fielder in the world, same with tchouameni. We say generational because which 20 -22 yo will perform and perform for a big team the way they are performing. If these players stay at Madrid they'll become the best at their position just for training will all time greats like Modric and Kroos. And as a Spaniard and Real madrid fan, same thing goes to Pedri and Gavi, these are potentially top 5-10 midfields in the world by their mid 20s
@@losk3442 There can't be 15 generational midfield potential talents either. There could be 15 young midfielders who have a generational *ceiling* in the absolute best case but you just cant call everyone with a very high ceiling "generational", then the word becomes meaningless. Potentially top-10 isnt generational. It doesnt mean they arent amazing, its just generational is the kind of level only a few players in every decade can reach. It just means they haven't earned the "generational" label yet
All of Tchouameni, Camavinga, Pedri, Gavi, Foden, Musiala, Odegaard, Wirtz, Enzo, etc cant all be generational. Players may have that potential to be generational in the future but the ones that get the label so far have shown it by being so far above their peers at the age. Like how Haaland Mbappe Bellingham etc have already shown generational talent at that age (Bellingham winning Bundesliga POTY at 20 years old is also a generational bc it almost never happens)
Jude Bellingham in madird is what everyone expect Kai Havertz would do
this is so accurate 😭
Both still have time. Hopefully both can reach their full potential ...
Jude should return to his cm position, Havertz should play Jude’s new Real Madrid position in arsenal when Jesus leaves or gets injured
@@maynamCR7orRAY why should jude return to his old position when his contributions in his new position are meaningful to real? he's equally capable of playing both
@@maynamCR7orRAY what position? Believe me, there are no "positions" in Ancelotti's game like Pep's. Just areas. There's space, and players drift into it accordingly.
Kudos to Carlo for identifying this potential and taking the big risk of giving him this freedom
So, basically, Bellingham is playing as a playmaker at Madrid instead of the box-to-box role that he played at Dortmund. The game's next great Number 10, what Pogba should have become.
Just like Tifo IRL is transforming the knowledge base of its viewers ❤
Actually it's Real Madrid who changed the way Bellingham plays.
Ancelotti is a máster of exploiting the strengths of each player in a structured manner that benefits the team as a unit.
It's not casual like people make it sound.
I personally don't like how some downplay his level as a coach, making it sound like he just sends his players out and it just works out.
Only coach to win all the top 5 leagues, aswell as having the won the most Champions leagues 4, he deserves more respect.
Bellingham is a beast of a player, but it was Real Madrid and Ancellotti that saw his potential in that new position, which has propelled him to another level when it comes to influence in the game that has everyone gushing at the moment.
No, he’s always had that skill set and it’s always been obvious. Ancelotti is just using him to fill the gap because he doesn’t have a striker
@user-ed7et3pb4o Obviously he had the skill set, nobody said otherwise, but it was never explotied as much as it now playing the 10 position.
I disagree with the rest, about lack of planning on RM behalf, and the decision to play him there being somewhat of a desperate move due to a lack of a 9, Ancelotti a month before the transfer deadline when asked about who was going to be Benzemas replacement, clearly said that it was Bellingham.
If people didn't take that seriously its because they didn't see this coming, therefore he deserves credit for trying something most didn't think of.
Lets not forget Benzema was a 9 but had a heart of a 10.
He rarely played behind the centerbacks, instead he would drop back and link up the attacks, drawing out defenders with his high movement IQ to benefit the 2 wing players (Bale and Ronaldo) , he was also capable to change his role depending of what was needed.
Jude has taken to that same role but in his own way, eventhough they are different there is alot of similarities in their play.
Also RM have Valverde, Cammavinga, Kross, Touchameni, Modric, Ceballos in midfield positions, RM wouldn't overstock so much unless they had a plan so all could have playing time.
It's not casual like you think. We are talking about the best club in history, they are not amateurs in the transfer market, they arguably have the best squad planning in Europe, they rank 28th in net transfer over the last decade and we're still able to achieve the most success in that same period, and also secured the back bone of the team for the next 5-7 years.
Finally someone said it. Both Sir Alex and Ancelotti get shoe horned into being casual about tactics but you don’t reach 4 UCL finals and 5 UCL finals respectively by being a casual tactician.
Their greatness is in the fact that they can drill their teams into playing a variety of systems and a variety of patterns.
Jude is also changing England man national team too. 🎉
Yeah, he was great as a 10 against Scotland!
Yep agreed, by far the best player on the park. I have to say Englands passing towards the end of the first half was probably the best I've ever seen from an England team. @@soulsqueezer4022
He's gonna be captain of Real Madrid and the England national football team
This formation is more dangerous than people think. You literally have a centre forward in Jude Bellingham who plays as a false 9 and drops back to help his teammates defend, leaving the wingers up top for counterattacks. Jude is the PERFECT player for this role.
You said he "Little bit like Benzema". As a person who has been watching Real Madrid in post Cristiano era non stop, I would say he is very much wearing the shoes of Benzema. I might be wrong, but Benzema used to be in midfield a lot more than people usually expect from Number 9s.
Still feel they are missing a Benzema, somebody to show up when needed most. Madrid can't expect Bellingham to score all the time. I'm not sure the balance is right in the team. The wins they've got so far are more down to one player and that's really bad. Madrid look a shadow of the team of past cycles. The pressure will catch up with them.
Benzema was a perfect false nine in terms of link up and positioning but had thot excellent end product which I always thought was underated.
Bellingham being more midfield focus has better link up play starting from the middle of the pitch (benzema would usually off load to a mid and reposition to create gaps) and more of a defensive presence which is welcome and needed but his end product isn't quite where benzemas was, but then again we're comparing a great like Benz to a 20yo which is madness already.
Would love to see him in an attacking 4-3-3 with him as a no.10 and joselu up front with vini injured, would love to see him assume a more playmaker role but only to allow him more deceptive runs into the box allowing him more space to choose the correct shot and compensate for that end product or refine it with experience.
He is pretty much the complete player.
England with the amount of talents that they have should win at least 1 major trophy in the next 5 years.
🤞🏼
We've been saying that for the last how many decades now? Lol
Beckham's generation should've won something as that was a formidable squad. 2006 England was prime Ferdinand, Terry, A. Cole, Lampard, Gerrard and they still couldn't reach the latter stages.
Not with Southgate as coach
@@CarefreebluesI’d say that’s because of the rivalries between clubs. It never felt like they truly trusted or liked each other. The morale is looking a lot better than 10-20 years ago
@@damoman21spain won with their entire team being from either barca or madrid. No excuses
Vini jr new role is kinda like the role mbappe plays..naturally they are LW but mbappe tends to drift more central as the play goes on. As a real madrid fan am hoping this new role will elevate vini jr potential and football awareness to adapt to different opposition.
Jude is just magnificent. Lost for words on that guy
If Real manages to get a good LB, they’ll be even more dangerous offensively but replacing Marcelo will take time and money
@@dashuntas.m4045that why they want Alphonso Davies
@@dashuntas.m4045 we looking at the Davies guy. I heard he’s a decent LB😂 but only problem injuries..but we’ll see hopefully RM will land him n we’ll deal with injuries atleast knowing that he’s in our squad
The thing about Vini being dragged out his former more wide position is that for last 2 years Madrid only attacked by him and by that left side.
We need to be threatening from both left, right and centre position.
With this new diamond system, I think we acomplish that, specially having Garcia and Carvajal in good form.
And I really think Vini also wants to score more goals. If he adapts to this new role, he will score more goals.
Great player! I also think the fact that he is playing in a league with more emphasis on technique, makes it easier for him to be a false 9, as in the rugged and physical PL you'll get more involved in fights with center backs and have to play back to goal and be a focal point, which makes it a whole lot harder for a midfielder playing upfront
As we saw with Havertz, it’s no surprise Real wanted to sign Havertz but Bellingham ended up playing the role he would’ve played for them
I don't really agree with you that La Liga is more of a technique-oriented league. If you are a Madridista, you would painfully know how Vinicius has been beaten up by his opponents. Now, Vinicius got out of squad because of his injuries, Jude are emerging as the following victim of low-block teams; however, this lad did manage to dribble with no fear and continuously score some important game winners. Just to say how decent he is, and of course, it has nothing to do with which league he plays.
What a player!!!!!
love your breakdowns and this channel in general!
one small editing suggestion tho: why not flip the screen of the pitch 90 degrees when showing tactical analysis so that the opposing goal is at the top and own goal is at the bottom. It would be a better POV and when making points like "...going up the left of the pitch", it would actually be on the left of the screen.
Very well scripted video, it was super concise and informative. Good job Sam for narrating it as well, really enjoyed this one.
I don't know how much data that are avaible from the 00's. But doesn't this tactic and roles seem familiar to Ancelottis AC Milan? Especially at the time with the front trio Kaká, Shevchenko and Inzaghi. It could be interesting to compare these two teams tactic and philosophy.
I can say it is a more modern Ac Milan version of Don Carlo, the way it works is extremely similar, 2 numbers 8 play freely Seedorf/Cama - Rihno/Valverde, if you let Kroos play number 6, it's just like Pirlo and Bellingham are the midfield versions of Kaka
If you have a look at sofascore they might have it. For example Zidane had an average of 47.5 touches in his last season for Madrid
@@FarCry2311 - okay, then we have the same understanding. I'm aware, that the two 8 now in Madrid are more box-to-box midfielders, than at Milan. Seedorf were more offensive there and Gattuso had more defensive responsibility.
And for more protection they have an 'anchor man' instead of a regista. But otherwise, they protect the left side with the wingback being more defensive (as Maldini), and the right wingback have more freedom to attack.
Maybe the striker combination is what have changed the most. With the front trio might act differently compared to AC Milans front trio?
@@trylification I think the current two number 8 tend to be more hybrid than Seedorf and Gattuso, the essence is still the same, Cama will make play more and Valverde creates more workrate, and the strikers are the difference, Vini and Rodrygo are still wingers, they only partly replace the striker's ability, Sheva + Inzaghi are real strikers, in fact Carlo in 2005 was more of a positional coach, but now Carlo is more functional coach, Real depends on the connection between players, playing football depends on the situation
That midfiled of madrid is a an engine. If they play to their potential they can not only dominate possession but also out run teams and press teams into oblivion. And all of them got the ability to shoot and an eye for goal when found in the right positions. Valverde himslelf can run for a 180 mins without break and still have enough gas left in him. That is a crazy midfiled
Hi Sam! I miss you at Ranks FC but I’m glad you’re doing well!! Viva la Ranks!
I'm a big fan of this host, i hope to see more videos from him
he is a magician
Camavinga and Tchouameni behind him?? Best thing that could ever happen to Jude.
I don’t think the formation is that simple it’s quite fluid and the full backs are providing the width and vini and rodrygo closer to the goal giving them more chances to score with the defense focus on them Bellingham getting alot of l space with late runs
would love to see how that will look against tougher opposition like UCL or Barca, Atleti...
Carlo is playing him like Muller, he is the second coming of muller. Just always in the right position.
Don Ancelotti is really creating the future for Real Madrid, maybe this system does not help Real win cups, but it creates space for players to develop, if Vinicius can break through and improve himself in this role, it will help him be able to combine with Mbappe after this season, and Jude too. Carlo is really solving the future problem for Real, there are some problems at Camavinga, but I believe in him can overcome it
Wait, is mbappe coming to madrid next season?
@@nik8468he didn't turn down Saudi Arabia for nothing
There will problems with starting Camavinga when we go back to 4-3-3. The midfield will probably be Jude, Tchouameni, and Valverde.
@@magicfox_1759 if Mbappe arrives, then 4-4-2 diamond with the double pivots of Tchou and Cama would be more of a better choice I think.
Generational talent!
So Bellingham is playing the Lampard role where he plays as a sort of CF/second striker but acts as the linking point for the midfield and the main attacking outlet in midfield.
Lovely work. Now it brings into question where does Mbappe fit if he comes in next yr. He already said that he doesn't like to play through the middle but to bench or sell ViniJr is madness. Hmm....
DON Carlo is using JUDE like he did KAKA at Milan the tip of the diamond that has everything to destroy teams, hes has pace, power, smart enough to understand the game, can sore from anywhere if required and gives them someone to go long too if needed.
good comparison - so true!
What a player that guy is turning out to be
Good Video
Ancelotti is utilising Bellingham in a similar position as he did Kaka in that generational Milan side although in a different role. Let's hope he achieves similar or even more what Kaka did
Is the formation change because of Bellingham though or because they don't have a striker.. Think about it.. Jude joined before Benz left.. And I don't think if Benz had stayed they would have changed to this formation. Still good to see though
It's mostly because they didnt get a striker. Ancelotti likes to play like this, but lets not act like they adjusted this system specifically to Bellingham.
They have played like this many times with Benzema too with Modric playing the role Bellingham plays just in a different way.
Amazing
I think there doing this because they're biding there time until Mbappe shows up next year, they have a new manager and the new corporate friendly Bernabeu starts printing money so they can buy a No 9 as well, then we'll see how Real Madrid really look.
i agree this position for jude is not permanent
The FA have to sack Southgate, get a young progressive, forward-thinking modern coach and rebuild the national team around Bellingham. This boy will deliver trophies for England.
Since when did aaron Ramsdale join tifo
its not really a new thing from carlo ancelotti. He played this system before in milan. He just found the new kaka
He's playing as second striker, but with his unique style, I think he plays better as SS than CM, Carlo Ancelotti plan for Jude is great.
great video. but for me the two man combo isn't as elegant as a one man show. when you do this analyses alone really personalizes your videos. especially while they are standing. Just a thought.
He seems like an old school number 10 to me 🤷♂️
Remember how Tifo kept saying for the last 2 or 3 years that an English club should pick up Bellingham while they still can? They were right.
Scotsman in peace here. Jude Bellingham has the potential to be one of, if not THE best player in the world. Yes, he is that good! A phenomenal talent. And still only 20 years-old. If he can stay injury-free he is destined for great things.
Scotland were poor against England. But England are a class act with a great team and world-class players all over the place.
I believe England will win the Euros in 2024. France would give them a game for sure, but I still think England would beat them should they meet in the Euros.
Anyway, back to Bellingham. England have got an amazing squad of players at the moment, but even so, Bellingham stand out as something special and just seems to get better and better. Against Scotland, he was outstanding, easily man of the match. He was head and shoulders above even some of his more illustrious teammates. And he was the youngest player on the pitch..! He is a generational talent due for greatness. England are very lucky indeed to have such brilliant footballer. And his best is yet to come. Just how frighteningly good will he become?!
When Pep's bald head poped up it had me rolling. It's so creepy and funny at the same time.
Mendy was starting LB that first game
Bellingham could walk into a kitchen cook a meal and transform it into a Michelin star restaurant by the end of the day
Please do a video about Brennan Johnson and why Spurs sign him .for me it's a mystery transfer . An overprice for a back player ,who seems not quite fit to position football.
Please do szoboszlai
You guys don't do a Barcelona assessment?
Bellingham is number 1 in the Soccer World now. DOMINANT
best summer signing
He is the one.
Is Bellingham low key the eventual replacement for Harry Kane in the England squad? We've seen great players move in to the number 9 role before, CR7 notably
Hope he carries on like that, we need him for Euro, would have loved him at City. He will get at least 15-20 goals for Real, this season.
Why would he come to City, though. 😂
@@rexwanner5736No doubt that you have a stronger team, but your club is a sportswashing project through and through.
Just like Carlo use of Kaka at AC Milan
city v madrid this season if they face in the ucl gonna be pretty good
They just need vini to understand the new role
Do a video next on why no team has signed Jonathan David as yet
probably not as good as you think he is? there, saved him making the vid
Best signing since Ronaldo
When did he score a header from a deep cross?
Has anyone called him a 'False 10' yet?
False 9.5 even
😂
More like reverse false 9 if that makes any sense. Muller plays or used to play the false 10 for Bayern.
@@berane8909 Ozil,Schneider were false 10
Imagine what would happen if ancelloti was the manager for england and not southgate
He'd be crucified in the media way more. His philosophy is unlike any other that's seen in England. When it comes to the England NT, there's a very conservative approach to it from within the nation. Fans and media want "total control and order" from the team, while Ancelotti professes a "chaos let loose" style of play.
Ancelotti Masterclass
Thank you Aaron Ramdale for this breakdown
Bellingham is the best English player I've seen
Why is no one talking about what Sam Tighe likes? LOLOLOLOL... 0:05 loves Tighe food, especially chicken pad tighe 😂😂😂
so youre telling me kai havertz needs to study bellingham becos thats whats hes trying to be? arteta needs to take a look at this video too. both tall midfielders who like to drift into striker position.
Teams will figure them out soon and theyll be looking for a striker by january
Bros using my FM tactic
Ancelotti is using Bellingham similar to Kaka in Milan.
I don't quite understand why Vini is playing more centrally, if Bellingham is playing that role in the centre, why doesn't he maintain his position on the right? May have missed something....
Bellingham doesn't start centrally. He drifts into that area when he can. Carlo plays Vini more centrally to develop to be a genuine goalthreat, like he did with Cristiano.
Do something on ac milan players
Generational refers to players like both ronaldos, messi, pele, maradona. Once in a generation talent. If so many are generational, then no one is. Reminded me of a movie phrase: If everyone is a Super, no one is.
That is how it use to be in the old days. Its only in the last generation that we had 2 generational players and it seems like we are going back to the old days where we had more then 5.
Reminds me of Kaka at AC
They need an actual #9
He’s amazing. If he could get rid of that
Megan Rapinoe celebration, he would be the complete player.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂wat do u mean how is her celebration like
He's like a good Kai Havertz
Can’t even lace Pedri’s shoes LOL
then how has he outperformed pedri in every single aspect of the game in the first few games of the season...delusional barca fans clutching at straws go to bed son
He plays like Kane a little bit
I want to see more English players at madrid.
Still sadge he didn't join Liverpool
Is it me or the graphics are poorly done in the beginning
All I can think of is how mbappe would fit into this system
Seems unnecessary IMO, they would be better off finding a strong & technical target forward.
@@Carefreebluesyou keep saying dumb things
If they keep play this systerm, and develop themself, when M3p come, return to 433 they will play like crazy, masterclass Ancelotti
@@TheSaladin777 Get a job.
Depends really, i think he would play the CF position with freedom to roam, kinda like how he played under poch at PSG. Madrid would probably revert to a 4-2-3-1 or 3-4-3 to accommodate him.
Bellingham as the tip. Bellendham?
The fact that Bellingham was slightly more expensive than Havertz is just sad.
Premiere league transfers are now forever dumb thanks to one Chelsea football club 😂
Stats show Bellingham has higher attacking actions and lower defensive actions because he's playing further up the pitch at Madrid than Dortmund. Dun-dun-dunn!
As good as he's been (he certainly has been) it's still only a few games and they could easily have dropped points as a team. Imho, Madrid still lack a striker up the center. Therefore I'm not sure if this current set-up will continue indefinitely. Still good for Bellingham to gain all this experience and match expectations and raise his performance.
I agree, I personally think he is still ar best in the advanced 8 position
@@thatracingguy5694 As said half of it depends on the players they have: Real have those 2 French players behind Bellingham already and no striker so it makes sense to put him at the top of the diamond for now strengthening the offence.
But as said, bring in a striker and his position will probably change again.
I don’t understand why Ten Hag don’t wanna try and play Bruno in that role last year when we don’t have a pure 9. Let Erikson play the 10.
Let's face it, Ten Hag isn't a master tactician like Carlo here. Ten hag still hasn't come up with a philosophy of play at Utd, he's torn between playing possession and counter attack.
why is ed sheeran so knowledgable about football
