Based on his team selection -which I was fine with by the way- and his approach it is clear that he was trying to shithouse his way into the final. Except you don’t figure out how to organize a low block counter team overnight.It’s not simply putting bodies behind the ball in a desperate fashion. Just like organizing a fluid high block attacking team, it’s a skill a manager needs to cultivate over the course of his career. And also a habit that a manager needs to ingrain in his team from early on in his tenure, instead of pouring scorn on it as the morally inferior way of playing the game.
It is what it is. I wish he wasn’t 60 so matches like this could have been easier to digest as part of his learning curve, but he’s way past that point.
