deciding to have when you know that they can fit in with their ability anyway, but their understanding of what the coach wants takes them to another level.
Yeah, it's it's very, very solid, very organized.
They're always prepared to take the ball.
But I love how aggressive they are with their 1v1 defending, because there are lots of times when, you know, they're on the halfway line, isolated with a striker, and everybody's coming towards them and they have to be able to slow the game down.
And I think they did that very, very well throughout this game.
And, you know, obviously I want to talk about defenders, but I need to talk about Haaland as well, because the g the points that the guys were making.
Something that's really impressive, I think, about Ellen Harland is his patience because as the game was starting, he didn't have a ton of touches.
But it all serves a purpose.
In some ways, it's a selfless striker because he's in a position for the way that Porto defended against him, as I'm sure the guys saw, where there were frequently two players right next to him, touch tight, trying to sort of like unsettle him, push him around and so on.
But given the fact that football is essentially a numbers game.
That means that there's somebody else on the pitch for City who is free.
So he's standing there and he's sort of occupying those plays to allow other people to have a level of creativity in a game which wouldn't be there.
If he got bored and said, I just need a touch, let me go and wander.
And I think as a consequence, he ends up having tons of chances created for him.
Because as I say, he's doing the job, which you know, for the way that narrative works, if he doesn't touch it for 10 minutes, it's like, oh, he's not touched it in 10 minutes.
But his impact.
He's probably bigger than somebody who would drop off and take ten touches and do nothing with it.
So yeah, credit to Haaland and yeah, to those two centre halves for City.
I thought they were excellent.
And even see Mark Gahey on the right hand side, like we're very much used to seeing him on the left.
