Like, I don't wanna pick on the guy. He's LCM (think he's an undersize CB who gets shunted in midfield...) This is a 3v3 🇫🇷CB LB CM 🇵🇹 RB RW CF How not to handle that situation by Ismaël Doukouré
You will not gaslight me that Ismaël Doukouré is a good player.

I have eyes.

Fullback cuts inside, Doukouré has to pass on the marker to 1 - the fullback to pick the deepest runner 2 - if the fullback is busy/hasn't seen, the CB has to track

That's stupidly bad defending, that's not galaxy brain, I've done it with U11s to U19s (and senior players) Ends up flattening the defensive line with no pressure on the ball (bar Tel who's wrong side and would be better off not doing a daft foul)

Doukouré reacts to his bad reading of the game, tries to put some pressure, Lukeba is a sitting duck trying to play offside trap.

Like, there's nothing creative here, if you are asked to put the fries in the bag and you throw them at the bottom of the bag, it's a bad job. Perception / action on a textbook defensive situation 2 minutes in, there's no excuse No wonder he doesn't play CB anymore




This one is badly dealt with as well, way too long to decelerate, feet in fresh concrete and turning like an oil tanker. Quenda's pass is outrageous but also should never be given so mich space at this level
