I got a pass from Xavi Alonso, and this is a situation where you have to pass horizontally
Then, he put a forward pass under Torres’ feet non-stop
We know it’s almost impossible for a forward pass to go in when the defense is blocked over there

In fact, this is not a class difference with Xavi Alonso, but rather a class difference with Spanish midfielders at the time
In particular, Sergio Busquets is the top tier in this field
Even if the opponent’s defense forms a line
It is an extremely efficient tool for successfully distributing balls with a fast and low forward pass between them
From the manager’s point of view, if there are midfielders like this
Who hates these players because it is very easy and easy to create opportunities if you plan detailed attack tactics on the opponent’s box
When you watch the game, it might look like they’re eating, so it doesn’t look like a big deal
Even Ki Sung-yueng says it’s not easy to pass between the tight defense lines
