We also think about this from time to time.you need to improve. By trying this, you can be more dangerous. In the derby, we also found the equalizer by switching to a two-striker formation in the final momentsand I think we could have even won. I think there is a good connection between Jhon and TaliscaI think. When you play a playerit can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. Set piecesare in a confident period. For meare in a confident period. For meare in a confident period. For me are in a confident period. For me does not yet have the strength to applyintense pressure. It needs time for that. For it to reach the level wewant. Youssef is notconfident, buthe applies a lot ofpressure. In general, both are good strikers. This is just acurrent situation.
