Oga Pinnick. Maybe your Ighalo can perform better than Osimhen. Or maybe you know better than a experienced Coach Coaching at the highest level. Yeye sabotaging FA President.
Osihmen must look for a way of scoring even if teams park the bus. I noticed that he cannot operate effectively whenever teams park bus for him front. E.g Napoli vs Roma : Nig vs CAR
That’s normal. No Striker perform better against team that pack bus
Oga it is the work of midfielders and wingers to create opportunity for him in tight spaces.CAR game was due to no creativity in the midfield.
It is the Job of the bench to switch formation and at times make one or two changes along side switching of formation when a team faces such situation as parking the bus. I have witnessed a coach pull his #9 with two other players and brought in one tall player and two dribblers into the mid field just to make such they make nonsense of the packed 18.
@Gowetok and when you park bus just know too that your chances of scoring too will near zero.
A good team will strike and defend well. When an opponent park bus like that breaking down the defence is not the work striker alone.
