He continued: “Camavinga? In this important match I wanted to give an opportunity to Rodrigo, who was fresh. Camavinga gives us a lot of distribution, he is able to get into midfield and helps us a lot.”
He continued: “Billy and Vinny duet? We ask Vinicius to find the position he likes best and when Rodrygo goes inside, Vinicius stays outside. They have a lot of creativity and their presence on the left flank certainly creates a lot of danger.”
