“We have to take extra danger and now we have to be extra courageous to have the final line a little bit bit greater. Metropolis, each time we cross the ball backwards to our centre backs they go three in opposition to three and their line squeezes a lot and it's very troublesome to play by the strains as a result of the areas between them are very slim.
“We’d like individuals to be very aggressive in the meanwhile of stress. Metropolis make a midfield 4 in opposition to a two so that you want those behind you to leap (and pressurise opponents). We did it in opposition to Arsenal, that's why they didn't play, they couldn't discover the house.
“That's what makes it very slim for groups to play in opposition to a group that may be very aggressive whenever you go on the entrance foot. In case you are not courageous sufficient to try this, it's very troublesome and they’ll discover the areas to play, small gaps and they’ll play the balls.”
