Talking about Holland’s ability to block up the middle of the park, well – Portugal’s 4-4-2, whether flat or a diamond, can do the same. If it is the latter, though, too many players ahead of the ball might be a problem, especially given the onus that’ll be on the full-backs to supply the width. Pelova and Van de Donk will fancy themselves to exploit that.
Fara Williams is one of my favourite co-commentators. She’s in the studio today, and has just invented the verb “trialling and erroring” to describe Hollands’ experimentation. Superb work.
