THE ABSOLUTE MADMAN
How does he do it?
>>68395909
Why does he do it? Seriously, what possible benefit could there be in standing so far forward?
>>68395966
The logic behind it is that if an enemy player gets the ball and starts running isolated it's already pretty much over,
By standing there he acts as a last defensive player
>>68395966
Can get an extra attacker into the box.
>>68395909
he lives on the edge
>>68396057
Only for the very last play in the game and when you're desperate
>>68395966
Closer starting position to run to the corner flag and celebrate after your mate bangs in a goal.

?
When sending the keeper into the box? Yeah.
But putting him there on corners means a position player doesn't have to sit back behind the play, and can instead get involved.
>>68395966
so there is always one more player you can pass it to. it's not that hard to understand. the CBs can just pass it 20m back to Neuer when they're under pressure. Otherwiese they would have to hoof it out of the stadium. If they lose the ball it's over anyway, no matter how much space there is between Igor and and Neuer.

I watched a Bundesliga game where he was in that position. He received the ball, played it forward and Bayern scored within a pass to go up, and they went on to win it. He's there for a reason, and it ocassionally pays off.

the Neuer-wannabe ter Stegen got lobbed twice last season
>>68396628
Ter Stegen is awful really, Great with his feet but that's all. Have you properly heard about Éderson yet btw?

yeah I heard he did alright in the CL.
>>68395966
he's short-sighted
>>68395966
he is there because ukraine doesn't have an attacker around the midfield, which is a positioning error on their side. if they had their forward just behind the midfield line, to avoid any offside for a long pass, two fast players - not necessarily centre backs as they would probably be in the penalty area to score a header - he would have positioned around the borders of his own penalty area.
you can ignore other answers.

forgot a part in the sentence:
two fast players - (...) - would be covering the ukranian forward, and he(...)
