Very interesting if we discuss Luis Carlo pattern in that match, Sadio Mane and Brozovic are in the right position. Meanwhile Talisca is currently only able to help Ronaldo, but I hope Luis Carlo tactics can be further developed next. I mean Talisca is not only can assist, but he also has to be able to make a goals. So that later in the new season we will see Al Nassr have a stronger power attack, Sadio Mane still hasn't got good chemistry at there, but I still believe he can show a good game next.
By the way if we look at Al Hilal formation in that match vs Ittihad, it's really good Sir. I mean Malcom is usually play as a winger, but Jorge Jesus put that player as a pure striker. Their coach seems have found a good pattern against Ittihad, they didn't get a pure Europa top striker, but they managed to concoct a good formula. It seems final Al Nassr vs Al Hilal will look more interesting, but I would probably favorite Al Nassr in final. Although Al Hilal defense looks strong but Al Nassr attacker also can not be underestimated.
If we talk about Talisca, this player can be relied upon to score goals. in the 2022/2023 season Talisca has scored 20 goals with Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, this player can also play in various positions including being ST. besides that, it's not just Talisca who can contribute in terms of scoring goals for her team. if Mane is able to adapt quickly, he can also contribute in terms of scoring goals and is not only in charge of providing accurate passes for Ronaldo to score goals.
While for Brozovic, he is ideal for his current position. thus, Al Nassr has 3 ideal players to help Ronaldo as a goal getter. besides that, if the coach can take advantage of his three players, namely Mane, Ronaldo, Talisca, they are players who can rotate with each other. So, let's see how Luis Carlo formulates a strategy for his team.
As for Fotana, it seems that the coach is more positioned as a pivot in a duet with local players, namely Abdullah Alkhaibari. in this match, he was able to play with an impressive performance and even contributed one goal for Al Nassr. Overall, what Al Nassr and Luis Carlo showed was pretty good progress. Next, we'll see how consistent they are for the next match.
I seem to have forgotten that Al Hilal had replaced their coach who was previously under Ramon Diaz. Also, I didn't follow Al Hilal's progress after last season's competition was over. it seems that Al Hilal didn't only bring in Ruben and Koulibaly, Malcom and Sergej Milinxovic were newcomers. in this match, Malcom and Milinkovic played very impressively. but most likely, if Jorge Jesus will still do some experiments with his system. well, if these two teams qualify for the final round later, I choose the opposite of what you choose. because after all, Al Hilal's dominance is still difficult to break by the big top Saudi teams even though they have several star players.
