The Importance of Adaptability in Football

Napoli are a fantastic case study for this one. I think Kim and Jair there, their primary centre back, he's in the top five or six for clearances, which you'd be absolutely amazed if you ever saw. Real Madrid were just a perfect example of they don't need to dominate the whole game,. They dominated in spells, but came into it more in the second half when obviously the score line had changed at that point. Manchester City scored three goals in about 10 minutes against PSG after being 1-0 down on aggregate from Champions League last season. Liverpool beat Barcelona 3-1 despite having 59% of the possession with 90th minute strikes by both sides.
