In the game we scored 4 goals in first half, and realized we will win. And scored 1 more in 2nd half.
Did we slow the game and took off the pedal in 2nd half? Or just conserving energy for the finals? I felt we could have scored more, but somehow they felt it was not necessary. Again, I may be wrong, give me your opinions on this?

yes if you watched the game you can tell the players weren’t taking it as serious
conserving energy
Was that a secret though?
Yeah no point in burning out when you’re 4 up first half.
Ofc, they didn’t need a total humiliation it was a semifinal game we were already qualified for the final, but in the final there will be no such thing.
Yes, its clearly visible that not a single player on the pitch did want to run anymore, no reason for it
i mean yeah we want to just bleed the clock and reduce the chances of freak injuries, errors and save energy for Madrid
This happens a lot on knock off tournaments and also in league matches. If you demolish a team in the first half is better to conserve energy in the second half
Smash 3 goals play possession. That strategy suits us perfectly.. only risk is our high line is part of our possession game as well (besides attacking game ofc) and that can lead us to conceding late goals.. so 3-0 at 65th min should be a good place to hand back and pass circles around the opponent
Looks like the team was running through the notions. Yamal got a nice warm up and Pedri, Raphinha got some rest. Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect night.
