FT: WALES 1 - 1 CROATIA. Match thread

[Tuerto]

You are seeing into the future mate, Ampadu had no idea what Brekalu was going to do. You can only react to what happens in front of you. Allen was already out of the game, so he had to cover for him as well. CH should have stepped up once he saw Ampadu moving towards the ball. What happens if Brekalu beats his man? What would we be discussing then?

You don't react at that level, you anticipate and keep your shape. If the Croatian player does the fullback and the keeper then well done to him, it's the fullback and keepers problem, not ampadu. He should 'be held his position, that would've forced the attacker to take the fullback on-fill your boots son-The central defender is in the correct position, he doesn't need to step out leaving a huge space to exploit. You are so wrong on all of this.

Aside from anything else, if the Croat beats the fullback then there's no way that ampadu would get there before he got a shot away.
