My two cents. Boring game, meaningless tournament, but still sweet to see us beating JuBe :slick:
As for the players. Handa was good, saved few good shoots from JuBe players. I didn't like Jonathan at all, he did make some interceptions, but it was mostly due to his poor positioning and tackling. He also lost few balls in the attack. Rano and Chivu didn't work very well, both made some decent interceptions, but also crappy understanding between the two. Disappointed by the defense. M'Baye was poor going forward, but was utterly beast in the defense.
The midfield. IMO Guarin was bossing it. Decent in defense, and good in the attack, he send some nice long balls and showed he has some vision and pass. Cambi was crap imo, sad but true. He has never been good going forward, but was pretty crap in the defense as well. Zanetti as usual, he aint midfielder. Good dribbling moves now and than, and that's all.
The forward departement, Milito was below average, but he didn't even got balls. palacio was decent imo, not as bad as some say. He did hold on the ball pretty well. he failed few dribbles, but at least he didn't have misplaced passes and was trying, and he also showed he has some vision in him. That ball to Jonathan when he alone opened a counter was great. Coutinho, will just say, good job lad, keep going! Hope it wasn't serious, his injury i mean.
I liked the flexibility from Strama. Changed few tactics, and even though a friendly, at least the players were motivated. We'll see how he does in the future.
