In this sequence, we can clearly see the choices made by Arteta in his structure without the ball with Odegaard and Rice used to close the Rodri-Silva pair, accompanied by Havertz and Madueke, sent to frame the centrals and direct the restart. Behind, Gabriel comes out high to follow Cherki’s stalls, Eze follows Nunes. Zubimendi has a dual role: he must both come out on O’Reilly if he is touched and at the same time come inside in the event of a long central ball from Donnarumma to provide density.
