Thomas Tuchel before the match against Manchester United

"It will be necessary to stop them before the counterattacks"

Thomas Tuchel feels that they will have to pay close attention to Pogba and stated that he is one of the best midfielders in the world, as well as to Bruno Fernandes who makes a lot of assists.

“Pogba and Bruno Fernandes are key players in the middle. With Nemanja Matic, they’re very strong. They play with super-fast attackers, and for me, they are one of the strongest teams in Europe in the attacking transitions.”

“It will be necessary to stop them before the counterattacks. We want to take the ball, show our style and impose it, but we need to play with a good structure to evolve with a good counter-pressing and to prevent opposing counter-attacks, especially since they are also efficient on set pieces. These are key points on which it will be necessary to defend well.”
