Well, the question is very brief and straightforward: instead of thinking so much about the fact that we don't score in attack in the first half, don't you think it's better to work on the defense, which concedes too many and doesn't defend well?

[0:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4bnRj8kd6T7b/en/improving-football-defence-positioning-and-lost-possession?t=19) Of course, I think everything is connected.

[0:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4bnRj8kd6T7b/en/improving-football-defence-positioning-and-lost-possession?t=23) Well, in the end, we're not very organized.

[0:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4bnRj8kd6T7b/en/improving-football-defence-positioning-and-lost-possession?t=27) If we look at the first goal, we had to hold our position outside the box and when a player carries the ball, we're already almost, already inside our own goal. So these are details we need to improve.

[0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4bnRj8kd6T7b/en/improving-football-defence-positioning-and-lost-possession?t=38) But I repeat, if we look at it specifically, the danger created against us comes when we lose the ball, we all play inside, everyone is close together and instead of going out wide and then coming back inside.

[0:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4bnRj8kd6T7b/en/improving-football-defence-positioning-and-lost-possession?t=55) Obviously, we need to improve our defense because we can't concede, we have to score first. to take the game to a different level, because we don't create many chances.
