  • I agree. Mostly back then the “10” is a free role that doesnt do much defending. It is a position where the guy free roles and mostly attack, in addition to linking play and other roles.

    Ozil is one of this, as well as Coutinho, Hazard to a certain extend. Alexander Helb. And you know what Pogba too. I dont agree with KdB because he is more well rounded, can play deep as well as ST during that one season.

    Reason being tactics nowadays on top of demanding all players to attack and defend (which 10 can no longer free role and chill), it has changed. All players are expected to be in certain position in all phases of play. All players “attack” or fill in the space now so the burden of playmaking is no longer on the 10 to like “beat his man” or so on. Football has evolved sadly.

    But still, as much as that bald fraud love to tinker and chop and change, his team still defend using a good old 442. Perhaps the old days are coming back one of these days eh.
