Looks like Lukaku was played at mid-time with the aim of providing sharper counterattacks in order to break through the enemy's defense.
But the enemy they will face is Manchester City so any kind of counter-attack will be difficult to break into Manchester City's goal.
The match that they will play is to fight for the title so that Manchester City will really give full strength to the defense position and the forward position for attack.
Interesting to see what you have to say, but I'm not sure. Manchester City has a weakness that Inter's forwards can actually exploit, you know what I mean? Yes, it's their defense that sometimes isn't swift on counter-attacks.
In some league matches, I found Manchester City struggled to handle with counter-attacks because the players tend to be in the central area. Through this scheme Manchester City have also conceded several goals. Not only that, Manchester City also still struggle with the pressure if the opponents really press well, that is their problem as far as I know.
That scenario could happen, but with the condition that the Inter players had to do it with a quick counterattack.
IMO, City's only weakness was seen in the match vs Madrid in the first leg. let's review, there are 3 City players who won't be too forward to help in planning attacks. when Inter got the ball, or in terms of being able to cut the ball and counterattack. The first thing a city player will do is Rodry will try a low block to hold back and narrow the opponent's space.
Meanwhile, John Stones will run into the defense to form a 4-player formation in the defensive area. while the other two midfield players, will come down quickly to form a 4-4-2 pattern. that's why, pep Guardiola's formation with his 3-2-4-1 is ideal with his team.
IMO, we can see City's weakness during the match vs Madrid in the first leg. when Camavinga dribbled the ball quickly, he looked for partners to channel, which in the end the ball was in Vini Jr's possession and dribbled into the middle. shot, a shot on target and a goal scored. if, Vini Jr moves him to the sidelines, the City players are already in his defensive area. the question is, can Inter players do it. Well, we'll see when the two teams meet.
