"But in the Champions League, the opponent will also have a lot of quality, and you know that at one point or another they might create a chance. There have been matches this year where we've played very well, but there are situations we need to be aware of. We played against Atlético, and they set up a game where if you don't execute well, they know exactly what to do."
"Against Atlético, almost all of their attacks came from counter-attacks due to our turnovers. Knowing how we play, we can expose ourselves to this risk in some situations and try to minimize it,"
"If they win the ball back, especially on the left, we have Balde, who shoots more, and on the right, Jules covers more, and they know they can create more danger down the wings."
Almost all of Atlético's attacks arose from counter-attacks caused by turnovers, exposing the team to clear risk. The team's style of play can make it vulnerable in certain situations, so minimizing those risks is necessary. Champions League opponents will possess high quality and are likely to create chances at some point. Matches have shown good overall performance but specific situations require heightened awareness. Atlético implemented a game plan that punishes poor execution. If the opponent wins the ball back, both the left via Balde and the right via Jules can generate significant wing danger.
