For him, it is located in the middle of the field. “Facing a more aggressive Fribourg, we lacked a little activity without the ball. So we made them a little stronger. Dominating the opposition with the ball in midfield is an area where we clearly need to improve if we want to be a top team. If we want to take a step forward, we must also dominate in midfield and be able to dismantle a pressing opponent.”said the German defender.
This problem of controlling the ball in the face of intense pressing coincides with the new identity of the PSG by Luis Enrique.
