Analysis of World Cup Match Dynamics

4 minutes before the end of the game,

England were 4 minutes from the World Cup Final plus stoppage time,

but that goal from Enzo Fernandes felt

like the most coming goal of all time, it felt like everyone knew it was coming,

when you're playing in that game as an Argentina player,

do you also know it's coming?

You feel it, they put pressure on them just like the gentlemen here said,

the music was coming and it got louder, they got a lot of opportunities,

they hit the post, they had a lot of opportunities after that also,

and you got to see here

the shot from Enzo Fernandes, by the way what a game he did also Fernandes,

magic also, look at this shot, not a power shot but precision,

precision, a little knuckle ball there or what do you say Thierry?

Whatever it is, it's beautiful and the ball went in,

that's the most important, they got done on the corner. And this makes England

even more deeper, in deeper water, how do you say, like oxygen

finished, but before that they were too defensive, we can say about Argentina,

they're amazing, Messi is amazing,

but England they were too defensive.

And I'm interested Thierry, from an England player's point of view, when you are

then going deeper and deeper and your manager is essentially sending that message

on I assume, you tell us, do you know you're doing it, are you trying to step up,

what happens in the psyche of a player?

First and foremost, I'm

going to have to bring you back to when you're on the bench as a coach,

things go so quickly,

we sit here, we calm, we're having a sandwich, we're having a coffee and we're like

oh I would have done this, I would have done that,

now we need to analyse it. Thierry, explain with Rashford, what happened?

We need to analyse it, Rashford was supposed to come on just before Gordon scores,

then suddenly five minutes after he goes into a

back five, and then when you go into a back five early, you lose Rich James,

then you lose Rich

James, what do you go about it? Then Spence changes, then you put O Reilly,

but then O Reilly now is playing on the wing, what are you doing?

Boom, they score, where do you go from that 5 3 2?

You know and then boom they score again, and then you try to put guys towards the

end, it's not easy, I will repeat it again.

They went into a back five too early,

but I also will tell you something, when you're on that bench,

and you start to think,

and you look at the clock, you're like oh,

it's nearly the end, and sometimes you look again and you're like 20 minutes has

passed, I can assure you that, it's not that easy, but still,

you went into a back five too early,

you don't play that team too low, too early like that. That is so interesting.

And of course, for fans, it goes so slowly, but for the coaches, it

goes so fast. Latan,

you were going to say? That's why I said, Thierry explained the situation with

Rashford, that's the dynamics,

what was supposed to happen and what happened.

It was meant to go for Rashford to come

in and push for the counter attacks,

and then suddenly you score a goal in that moment, you go in a back five,

they had in total six

defenders totally at a certain point, the England team.

But this is the feeling you have as a coach, this time it didn't go his way,

it went in Scaloni's way, when he pushed all the offensive players,

he played the cards right for Tuchel, he didn't play the cards right,

but if Tuchel would have won the game,

we would have said, whoa, what a genius,

like, he went on the defensive part, Argentina...
