[0:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cRuYnhuJfEnK/en/football-tactics-facing-a-back-five-and-pressing-against-spain?t=6) I thought, in general, we simply had problems against the back five, especially in the second half.

[0:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cRuYnhuJfEnK/en/football-tactics-facing-a-back-five-and-pressing-against-spain?t=10) Um, I thought it was better in the first half.

[0:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cRuYnhuJfEnK/en/football-tactics-facing-a-back-five-and-pressing-against-spain?t=15) In the second half, um, it naturally gets harder for the back four too.

[0:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cRuYnhuJfEnK/en/football-tactics-facing-a-back-five-and-pressing-against-spain?t=21) What—what do you mean? That means we should've—we should've changed something.

[0:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cRuYnhuJfEnK/en/football-tactics-facing-a-back-five-and-pressing-against-spain?t=26) No. I'm saying, we didn't instruct anything different, but I thought, on the pitch, I had the feeling that against this back five, to defend it, uh, in that four-two-three-one, we had—we had problems there.

[0:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cRuYnhuJfEnK/en/football-tactics-facing-a-back-five-and-pressing-against-spain?t=46) Maybe I'm wrong about that, but when we shift across at the back, I— let's say, then maybe we could fill in with—with—with a defensive midfielder, with a defensive midfielder, because that's a favorite topic— But that's not the way we want it,

[0:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cRuYnhuJfEnK/en/football-tactics-facing-a-back-five-and-pressing-against-spain?t=59) the way we want to do it. But then we really do have to be able to rely on someone making that run forward.

[1:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cRuYnhuJfEnK/en/football-tactics-facing-a-back-five-and-pressing-against-spain?t=63) Yes, but—do it like this. I don't know, maybe, maybe I'm saying it somehow differently, or or, or speaking a different language, but I think that's exactly what we said.

[1:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cRuYnhuJfEnK/en/football-tactics-facing-a-back-five-and-pressing-against-spain?t=72) If someone makes that run, he has to, he has to know, my teammate next to me will close down, he'll cover my back.

[1:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cRuYnhuJfEnK/en/football-tactics-facing-a-back-five-and-pressing-against-spain?t=78) He'll cover my back. Right?

[1:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cRuYnhuJfEnK/en/football-tactics-facing-a-back-five-and-pressing-against-spain?t=83) I always think it's better when the team moves forward together like that.

[1:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cRuYnhuJfEnK/en/football-tactics-facing-a-back-five-and-pressing-against-spain?t=87) It might be a slightly longer route, but once that's in place, then it's one hundred percent the idea, too, of how we want to play football, and then put it into practice accordingly.

[1:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cRuYnhuJfEnK/en/football-tactics-facing-a-back-five-and-pressing-against-spain?t=101) With everything, and what’s supposed to be going on?

[1:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cRuYnhuJfEnK/en/football-tactics-facing-a-back-five-and-pressing-against-spain?t=104) I’d think it’d be pretty good if we set up that kind of midfield press again in training now, uh, so we’re really clear on the patterns of play.

[1:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cRuYnhuJfEnK/en/football-tactics-facing-a-back-five-and-pressing-against-spain?t=112) Because I think that’ll be important against Spain too.

[1:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cRuYnhuJfEnK/en/football-tactics-facing-a-back-five-and-pressing-against-spain?t=116) All right, then let’s do it.
