Cesc Fabregas explains why switching to a back five while leading can be a huge mistake.
When you sit back, you invite pressure, give the opponent more of the ball, and make yourself more vulnerable to mistakes, penalties, free kicks, and rebounds.
Fabregas says it can work sometimes on the counterattack, but 80-90% of the time it backfires.
And after England vs Argentina, it feels like he saw it coming.

Fabregas was seeing into the future 😂😂😂
England was better for 60 minutes in that game; regardless, no one was beating Spain in this tournament.
Problem for England is Argentina pushed them back into the penalty box already 8 mins before Tuchel made any subs. Another issue is England goes by have a holding player who can take the ball and soak up pressure. A lot of direct attacking players but not really any who are like a Modric or Xavi or Pedri etc. that’s why at Como he has players who do this. That’s why Spain beat a team life France like they did. They have players who dictate the speed and tempo of the match. Can play with their backs toward the goal or going forward
Most frustrating part is Tuchel knows what to do …he did the right thing vs Croatia
Agentfifa didn’t even justify getting to the final.
The semi should have been England v Egypt.
The fact Argentina got away with thuggery up to then made them think they could get away acting like that in the final.
An embarrassment to football and the beautiful game.
I saw the same way before 1-1. You take out a wing a middlefield and side defender for 2 fullback defenders and a side one. Is called catenaccio or the cowardice move. Tuchel is an idiot with 3 fresh forward wings and 2 strikers on the bench.
Fabregas a gobshite, everyone knows this. They couldn't get out long before he made the substitutions, watch it back
what if the opponent forces you to retract
Tuchel lost the gsme when he subbed Konsa in. Spence shifted and it opened the space for Messi. Tuchel was "that Irish among the English team"
Whilst Tuchel could have not subbed on more defenders to try and hold the lead, I think it's insane how so many people are placing the blame on him alone. From the moment England scored in the 55th minute until the hydration break and then the first sub came on, they were already retreating to a defensive mentality and Argentina already started their offensive bombardment.
Yes Tuchel's subs merely sealed their fate and he could have made offensive substitutions to try and get England back into the game offensively but these group of players seem to have a default mentality in high stakes game to sit back and defend a lead and that was what ultimately led to their defeat.
Csec wants to give Tuchel coaching advice now?
Como football club or not, we're going makinh his mark into the big leagues one or another. Excited to see what he can bring to the game in the next coming years.
All of a sudden? Bro waited 17 minutes after the goal to change it. The players already went full coward before any changes were made.
Did anyone not learn anything from Game 1 of South Africa
Not true. Inter and Atletico Madrid annhilated FC Barcelona playing park the bus.
Italy in its prime would have won the match 1-0 against Argentina easy
This aged pretty well😂
I said exactly the same to my wife on France- Paraguay match. If you go with the sole intent to defend yourself, then you are inviting disaster, it is a matter of probaliities, the ball will be most of the time near your goal, and most likely the ball will enter your more than the rivals
People keep blaming this and that still same.people who are blaming others cant do it better way, not talking about this vid im saying in general
No, está mal el análisis, no es que Inglaterra se encerró atrás y por eso argentina empezó a atacar más, argentina hizo que Inglaterra se encerrara atrás
Tuchel is the biggest idiot there is, in KO football it has always been like this you tell me who wins all the champions leagues? Ars or PSG?? I can't still believe Tuchel did that against Argentina
Why is he wearing a winter jacket in summer, taling about england argentina?? This is AI Bullshit! The same happened to Klopp, who NEVER did comment on the match at all..
Give him the England job now
he made it to the semis playing like that, and argentina push the team forward and england got cornerd, every team plays, if it was so easy every team would try to push forward instead of falling back.
Tuchel won the champions league with the same strategy though 😅
Everyone saw it as soon as Gordon came off and konsa came on, shocking decision, should have brought on saka for Gordon really
This idiote should never have the chance to manage a country or team again. Engeland must fire him immediately.
fabregas for england manager!
Just hanging back and not putting any pressure on the Argentina offense was ridiculous.
Defending 1 goal leads only for the last 5-10 minutes any more than that is cowardly
Why would 2 teams so far in the world cup do this against messi's side I wonder……….
That tactic works with a low class opponent like Mexico or Curacao but not against the current champions with the GOAT of Soccer. 🇺🇸🤝🇦🇷⚽🐐😎🦅
Lol, we saw this defeat too
A minimum of ball knowledge and you see the result
Tuchel got it totally wrong, having a good team, he should continue a normal game. Playing defensive for 10,15 mins is advisive, but not for a big time.
The coach bottled it. He got warnings when Argentina came close to scoring but continued playing the same game
Arsenal new coach
Yes, but he is used to highly technical midfielders like himself and his Spanish companions, not these sweating box-to-box midfielders who can't hold a ball or defend tight spaces.
Solidly VALID
Someone who can take Como to the ucl knows they are talking about and he is spitting facts here
He is a world cup and euro winner for a reason
Yea cuz they were told to do that to let Argentina strike fo the las 3 games is what happened
Please Man Utd. Dont hire Thomas as our new manager. Please please please
He will be the greatest managers
Even if you have back five or back ten, the first instinct of a defender or a player who defends in the box is to either block or clear the ball completely or at least to the nearest fellow player for a possible counter attack. But in england's case this didn't happen & mind you this same procedure happened until the argentine's scored their second goal which brings the important question to our mind, why? I believe both the semis were fixed, so that the euro champions & world champions would play the finals by FIFA. France was the most dangerous team of this world cup & teams didn't want to face them & even then France never tried to gain possession from a triangular passing tiki taka spain team, why? Are you all suggesting that a team like France don't know how to bypass a predictable triangular passing team. Are you all trying to prove that both these finalists just scraped through their games against the most dangerous team in cape verde. No disrespect to cape verde, if not for FIFA argenFIFA could've easily been eliminated by cape verde. Already this world cup looked fixed & rigged in favour of a racist zionist country like argenFIFA. Other than argentina, argentine fans & zionists every other football lover knows this world cup is rigged.
Favtegas and Messi same grain
Actually…arg were really good from the start..if tuchel didn't go for the defence argentina would have scored more early..but i don't think that argentina would've scored the second if england was not defending. But that's where messi's magic work. if you are not doing the defence he will ofc punish you for sure… that's what we are saying messi got a very good players with champion mentality. Messi is not like other players if you don't go for defend more he will get space and ofc he will score from wherever he wants !! Only thing you could do to defend your score is keeping the possession. That's why the final would be very special..cuz we have seen that spain can keep possession without going for defence and messi is the man who mastered the prime spanish way!!
If you don't defend and opponent wins, the same thrash coming from the fanntic, why didn' you defend, why attacking why why why ….talk is cheap.
England you lost you were NEVER gonna beat us so keep it moving.u never understand what we were doing to you,mind game was apart of our game,so stop your crying coz you got check mate😊.
CESC should haven been there next to TUCHEL and ENGLAND would have played in the FINAL !!! Crazy how things work in Football…
