Juve were without many key players in this match, Pogba, who was bought in the summer, immediately suffered a meniscus injury, Di Maria, who was bought from Paris, also suffered an injury, Chiesa had a knee injury, and finally goalkeeper Szczesny suffered an injury to his thigh muscle. Juve came to the away match without their two main wingers, their main back, and their main goalkeeper.
Paris started the game looking very lively, Gatti's formation and tactics for the team were different from last season, in this game Paris played a 343, in a three center back configuration, with two wing backs, Mendes and Hakimi, pushed forward, and in the midfield Verratti and Vitinha formed a duo in possession of the ball, while up front it was still Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe.
This tactic in the opening immediately suppressed Juve, Juve lined up 352, basically 3 center backs and 2 wingbacks, put Cuardrado and Kostic on the side of the road, the midfield is a three-man Rabiot, Paredes, the young Miretti want to stabilize the midfield, the front line relies on Vlahovic and winger Milik to rush, but the Parisian possession of the ball is clearly immediately Pressing Juve

Paris's tactics are very interesting, it looks like 343 to play on the side, in fact, it is not, in the game you will find that the number of vertical passes of Paris is very high, most of these passes are not to penetrate the defense directly, but in a vertical way in pulling Juve's back, and everyone's most concerned about the

Instead, they played a very erratic game, mostly moving in the middle, working forward and backward with Verratti and Vitinha at the back, because of course Juve would be afraid of

And the back of the two waist constantly forward and back to pass forward to the top of the penalty area, when the Juve center back and waist want to pounce on it, the two sides will reveal gaps, and then pass the ball to both sides of the Mbappe or Neymar, if the two people are seen to be dead, the more you can continue to distribute the ball to the side of the defense Mendes and Hakimi, it is only at this moment will be rushed to the side of the road attack, because at this time the central The center of the field has already been

Juve's biggest problem was the lack of tightness in the midfield, Miretti, Paredes and Rabiot clearly didn't work together effectively and looked like they were jogging, and with just five minutes to go it was Neymar who made an easy pass for Mbappe to break through from the left side of the defense and then hit a first time shot to the far corner of the net.
This position is Rabiot playing back and the back center is the new Bremer's defensive area, in Neymar pass Paredes did not go over to stare at him, these two not long ago or teammates ah, Rabiot put Mbappe rushed in to try to block Neymar's time is slow, the last two sides of his failure to block, and Bremer did not even realize that! Mbappe rushes in to pass the ball, when Neymar picks up the ball, Bremer turns around and it's too late, this is actually a very low level of lack of defensive coordination, but Bremer is really young (he was in Doolin last year), this should be his first game!
European crown
It's not his fault.
Paris's vertical passing pull this trick is quite effective, basically the central area is not any of the forward passes are crossing passes, just use this constant one forward and one back pass to make Juve back tired, than the left and right flanks of the mobilization, this kind of front and back mobilization of the back is not common, the implementation of the difficulty is also very high, the central area is very dense, not enough skill if it is easy to break the ball on the spot counter-attack, the That's why Gatti used two highly skilled players to support him in the center of the field.
And for those who have already lost the ability to

In this area, it's easy to be the brain of the passer, Neymar and Mbappe are very close to him, with his ability, if the opponent has a slight leakage, he can easily pass in, if not, he can go back to the back waist, or to the side of Hakimi, and in fact, he always passes the ball in this way, and the opponent can easily kick it out.

Definitely down for set pieces, this is definitely a position where they can go straight for goal

Juve had been suppressed and the midfield was in chaos. 22 minutes in, Verratti took the ball from the right and passed it directly to Mbappe at the top of the arc, who then played a two-on-one with Hakimi who came in from the right, and when Hakimi flicked the ball back in, Mbappe took another shot in the air at the 12-yard box and flicked it on to the goal.
Mbappe's form is quite good, there is no doubt about it, now he is Mbappe, Mbappe's director, but it seems to be really strong with him at the center, this goal has nothing to do with vertical passing, Juve missed Hakimi from the side and let him rush in, the center is not any midfielder staring at Mbappe, this goal is just like the undefended practice shot!
