MY TAKE ON PSG VS RB LEIPZIG

 now PSG played leipzig in the ucl s/f . the result was already decided . it was just to be seen as to with how many PSG would win . how would they dominate the game and create chances at will . it didnt turned out  to be that . leipzig gave them a good game and had their manager made some finer adjustments then i think they could had sprung out a surprise . i think what led to leipzig's downfall was that they overdid things and had they kept it simple and then improvise it then i think that they would given PSG a good game . 

psg started the game with 4-3-3 but di maria would drop back to make it the middle four . leipzig started the game with 3-4-3 formation but they were 5-4-1 with almo and nkunu dropping besides kampl and sabitzer . i just wanted to see as to how leipzig can stop the front three and on the other hand how the front three of psg combine . the game started with leipzig sitting back and  psg controlling the possession and tempo .even though psg were in the asendency . even with the possession psg just couldnt create chances at will . leipzig defended very well . once they lost the possession they would go for back four and middle and they would work hard to deny psg player whenever they come forward . the trouble with psg is that they just couldnt get the ball to neymar and mbappe . 

now leipzig were playing on the counter attack with poulson upfront . whenever leipzig regained the possession they didnt went direct as they  should had . they believed in the game that they had been playing against ath mad . what i thought of the leipzig game is that they made one too many passes and that invited pressure . they should had gone a bit direct and should tried to put the ball in the box more . trying to play one too many passes invites pressure because the opposition can read the game inbetween . secondly it allows the opposition to bring players behind the ball . the other thing that i think bothered me was that poulson was playing upfront . when the ball was played to him he was trying to press against thiago silva . instead i think what he should had done is that he should had tried to peel off thiago silva and make him come to you to press instead of viceversa . when you press to him your weight doesnt remain stable and that allows the marker to intercept and most importantly you are just giving him the chance to dispossess . there are these little things that make or break the game and i think with time nagelsman will learn the importance of it . the the other thing was that  when leipzig had the possession and passing the ball they didnt tried to take the ball deep in the oppositions half and then try to cross or score . they just kept on passing on the edge of the box and i think they need to work on their passing given the kind of opposition they were against . 

while leipzig were playing their own game . psg were trying to kind of giving leipzig the possession because when they were losing the possession psg were countering them . they were trying to release neymar and mbappe behind the back line . since leipzig were coming in opposition half . it was leaving space in their own half and psg were trying to exploit that . the one thing that didnt liked about psg were that they were not able to create chances in open play which they should had . i think that even if psg win the ucl i think that their manager may get the axe.
