Most people noticed that Rodri wasn’t playing those passes in behind the defence yesterday, even when the forwards were making the runs. Lamine was visibly frustrated by it. I was frustrated too, until I saw Rodri’s post-game comments. He explained that he was trying to slow the tempo down to reduce Galatasaray’s threat by keeping the ball away from them. That was exactly what we needed against Inter after Raphinha’s goal. Lamine, on the other hand, sees his team needing to push forward and wants to play direct, move the ball quickly and score goals, without worrying too much about losing possession or Galatasaray’s threat on the counter. So, if you’ve made it this far and are wondering what the solution is, I believe that in games like these, Lamine wins you the game, while Rodri protects the lead. And that’s exactly what happened yesterday. Forever Barça.
