Its utter madness.
Hes whole argument rests on a this high line he imagines Carlo wants to play. Go and look at his Milan team, his Madrid team, his Bayern team, his Napoli team, his Everton team, not 1 of them played a high line.
I get the benefits of playing with a high line, but people ignore the benefits from playing a deep line, ain't nobody getting in round the back and it means other teams push on thus leaving their own space behind.
It was hilarious watching people jump all over Keane for making 1 mistake in the last 16 months, they couldn't wait.
"Hes whole argument rests on a this high line he imagines Carlo wants to play"
1: Cant play anything but deep. Thats not a "high line" thats being good in a deep defence and nothing else.
2: Keane is at peak value and isnt a top player. Hes also 28 and whilst hes not going to lose pace (never had any) his value will decrease as he gets older and keeping him means keeping him for 4 more seasons.
3: We have 5 defenders. You should always sell to improve the team with higher potential younger players.
4: Mina has 2 years left and ive also said its either him (who i like) or Keane to be sold this summer.
5: Upgrading players is a sign of ambition. Wanting to have the best team with the best players is called ambition. Is he going to be wanted by City, Bayern, Atletico ? No...we want players who are good enough for the top sides.
"Go and look at his Milan team, his Madrid team, his Bayern team, his Napoli team, his Everton team, not 1 of them played a high line."
Dont make me laugh, youve not watched any of those sides regularly, nor PSG, Parma, Juventus...perhaps Chelsea for a short period on MOTD lol
None of those teams were as deep as Ancelotti has set this team up.
This is probably the 1000th time ive typed all this out so perhaps remember it.
