I think that the easiest thing, in theory, would be to convince Ronaldo to track back. That probably isn't happening, and it's a shame


Hey man, you never know, Jupp somehow convinced Ribery and Robben to play dedicated defense.

Clearly Ozil was not a perfect fit for Mourinho. Him and CR7 at least need to show something when defending. It killed me when they pull Ozil early because he is clearly their second best player.

There is no way to pick an optimal solution until we know who are the parts are.

Yeah, Ancelotti did have Pastore, Lucas Moura and Lavezzi working their asses back on defense (making hilariously uncoordinated tackles but nonetheless helping the team out) last year so maybe he can get through to Oezil and CR.

Ribery and Robben (and Mandzukic) working so hard on defense is the clear reason Bayern was so good.

They were twice the presences for their team that Oezil was and I guess that working his arse off on defense is also why Mourinho liked Di Maria as much as he did.
