I was in the stadium for that last Sunday, last Sunday night against Panama.
And it was really, really interesting.
And you look at the scoreline, 6-2, triumph.
No, not really.
Because it was a game of two halves.
And he played the first half with his full-strength line-up by the centre-backs who were still coming back from the Champions League.
And in the second half, he had 10 on the bench.
He brought them all on.
So it's two completely different teams.
And the first half, his starting lineup really, really didn't work.
They were really poor.
Now, the idea that he's been going with is with a front four.
That was going to be Estevan of Chelsea right wing.
He's unfortunately missing out.
So his immediate reserve, Luis Enrique, comes in there.
And then reading across, you've got Hafinha,
Mateus Cunha, Vini Junior.
And in order for this to work and it's Vini's team, Cunha has to really sacrifice.
He has to drop back a long way.
He has to do the left wing as well quite often so Vini can be free.
