The Red Devils opened under Tedesco with a win against Sweden. It will be different against Germany on Tuesday.
Four defenders, that was what Domenico Tedesco chose against Sweden on Friday. Something completely different from Roberto Martinez. An ideal situation for Jan Vertonghen too, according to analyst Patrick Goots.
“Because there is less space between the backs and the central defenders, he can also better compensate for his lack of speed with his positional play,” Goots tells Gazet van Antwerpen.
Besides Vertonghen, Wout Faes did very well. He immediately shows himself as the worthy successor to Toby Alderweireld. “How he got that ball off the line in the first half was a typical action that is in his genes. Faes always gives his all for the team.”
But there is and remains a problem with the Devils. “Behind the left back position, I still have a question mark for the time being. Arthur Theate did not play in his natural position and furthermore I do not see a left-footed pawn that qualifies. This will continue to be a quest.”
