“The players approached the tournament with all freshness, at the perfect time of the season. This has made the matches of the 2022 World Cup difficult for all teams, even for the favorites.

Another thing that impressed me is the compactness in the game of teams. Almost none of the national teams used a “high” line of defense. Perhaps the fashion for permanent possession of the ball has ended? And thank God if that's the case! The fashion for possession of the ball is an absolute bore. This is the death of football! But in order to play vertical football, you need courage, ”Capello Corriere della Sera quotes.
