Team Strategy

★Ball Possession ATT
★Pressure
★Right Side Attack
★Left Side Attack - Mandatory when Da Silva's on the pitch, but when Domoraud was placed as LB on the Second Half, it could be dropped as the Ivorian barely pushed forward
★Change Sides: Pirès | Maurice/Camara
★CB Overlap: Laurent Blanc
