The backline looks very good in this high line and high pressing system IF the two lines above them win the ball back in a good rate and doesn't give it up easily. Basically backline plays as the creator and the last ditch lock. It is very different role to one where the football is played up and down."Remember when Sarri Ball encountered Citeh? We lost 6-0. I wonder if we shall see that again OR will it be like the 4-4 of last season? Most likely this game will end in a low scoring draw."
Yeah, despite that Sarri's team only gave up 39 goals. Sarri made Rudiger significantly better in his system.
