Under Tuchel, Neymar was much more virtual

In the first three matches of the Ligue 1 this season, Neymar has played in three different positions: striker, striker and left sideline striker. That was the biggest difference in Neymar under Thomas Tuchel compared to Barca or when Unai Emery also led PSG.

Under Tuchel, Neymar was much more virtual
Thomas Tuchel promised to make a significant difference at PSG on his inauguration at Parc des Princes. And the fact that the Ligue 1 champion this season not only plays in the 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 scheme as before, but also differs from 3-4-1-2, 3. -5-2 or 3-4-3, although not much. And Tuchel's latest move is to give the 10th to Neymar. The Brazilian star has just returned to preparing for the new season just one day before the 2018 French Super Cup match against Monaco.

And he only played this match last 15 minutes. In the first match at Ligue 1 2018/19 against Caen, Tuchel successfully persuaded Neymar to temporarily tackle the tempo as Edinson Cavani failed to recover. But in fact Neymar did not bring the necessary effect as the highest player on the team. Second match against Guingamp, Neymar returned to the position of forward left wing and scored a goal, creating a goal. At the match against Angers in the third round, German strategist Neymar dragged back to the defense in the role supporting Cavani - Kylian Mbappe.

Tuchel wants to take advantage of Neymar's ability to polish and influence, instead of a player like Barca or PSG Emery. "This is very important to me because PSG has three other important players on the line: Angel (Di Maria), Kylian (Mbappe) and Edi (Cavani). In my opinion, Neymar played very well in 10th place and that is why next time, he will continue to be given this role. Of course, Neymar can still play left wing. And obviously, neither of these positions has caused Neymar any problems, "Tuchel shared after a 3-1 victory over Angers.

Neymar built a goal and scored a goal against Angers. The original effect is pretty good. When Brazilian striker connects more with Mbappe (19 crossings), there are mixed arrangements with Cavani (tentative for Cavani to open the score), free play and also back to the defense. more effective. Playing right behind the strikers, or kicking with three-man strikers, Neymar is not only the heart of the striker, but he can rise whenever he makes a difference.

Face is not a diagram 3-4-1-2 poor performance when not own a suitable three-man defense because rookie Thilo Kehrer did not perform well. So, Tuchel had to let PSG return to 4-2-3-1 in the second half, and the Parc des Princes team played better than Angers to win 3-1. But clearly, Neymar's No. 10 debut was Tuchel's unmistakable invention, helping him solve the problem of superfluous publicity that Emery's predecessor had a lot of headaches.

Diagram 3-4-1-2 imbalance between the player and the player
Tuchel's 3-4-1-2 Test match against Tersel's Angers was ineffective as it led to an imbalance between attack and defense. Attack play broke when Angers retreated to the backyard. In the next match, if the 3-4-1-2 kick, the M-C-N trio will have to interact better to maintain the maximum pressure for the opponent. And so, Neymar will still kick the defense.

122 - This was Neymar's touchdown in a 3-1 win over Angers in the third round, the most games ever. And 37 of those 122 hits were passed to Neymar for Angel di Maria. Meanwhile, Di Maria also passed Neymar 20 times.
