Koeman Football

When I first heard that Koeman was trying a 4-2-3-1, my heart sank. Where in a formation like this would Riqui Puig play? The CAM role would be best, but we already have possibly Coutinho there, or even Messi. I thought it was time to kiss my hopes of hoping to see Puig play more, goodbye.

But today, Koeman used him and Frenkie in a double pivot and man, was it so good to watch. We completely bossed the midfield, and what Puig lacks in physicality and size he just makes up with his agility, technicality and his near endless running. I swear the guy has an extra set of lungs.

It's been sometime that I enjoyed watching us play. Yes, it was just a friendly against Nastic, but man am I hopeful for our future.
