The next time you see a 1 v 1 developing inside the penalty area, observe the the nearest player who is in a position to intervene. Does this player move away from the action, or does he try to position himself for a possible intervention? Report back when you have seen about a dozen or so cases, and then we can have a proper conversation
As can be seen in other parts of this forum, you have this habit of picking your favourites and then, after that, it doesn't matter what they do, you defend them no matter what. I'm not going to get too involved in this discussion except to say that the second photo Heisenberg posted looks terrible from a defensive point of view - it's criminal that there are six Welsh players in the penalty area and yet we have two Croatian players completely unmarked in central shooting positions around fifteen to twenty yards from goal and I'm sure questions were asked in the Welsh camp after the match as to why Ampadu and Allen allowed such a situation to come about.
