Why didn t Paris buy a substitute for Ashraf? Team News: Many players can play guest roles, and the tactical effect is good
Ashraf will compete in the African Cup at the end of December, but Paris did not introduce a reliable right-back substitute in the summer window. The team newspaper wrote an article to explain the reasons.
The only one Ashraf in Paris is in the right-back, but Emery, Neves and Mayulu have all played guest appearances last season.
The team newspaper said that Paris sources revealed: "At the beginning of the league last season, we have made it clear that the position that does not need to be strengthened this summer is the right back. "
At the same time, another major reason why Paris did not introduce a right back is Ashraf's strong offensive attributes and coach Enrique's willingness to explore other tactical variables.
Paris insider said: "When Emery or Neves takes the position, the team will be built changes. When we don't have the ball, we ask them to defend the right side, but in fact the team averages 70% of the ball possession. In the ball-holding stage, they will return to the midfield, thus freeing another midfielder to broaden the front line. This enhances unpredictability and creates new problems for opponents. "
