How to get past Saudi Arabia's High Defensive Line? (Patreon)

Lionel Scaloni: 'We knew Saudi Arabia played like that! Few spaces to play between the lines and a High Defensive Line.'

Football Coaches Lyceum's suggestions:

- Swap Di María and Papu Gómez from lateral channels (play in the channel of their natural foot).

- Full Backs and Central Midfielders after receiving the ball, place the ball deep in the lateral channel for the entrance of the Wingers.

- Messi and Lautaro Martínez purposely put themselves in 'positional offside' to gain an advantage over opposing Central Defenders and finish crosses unopposed.
