Rooney looked at his team's starting lineup, then at Modric, and said with a surprised look on his face, "3-3-2-2? A three-guard formation, sure the defense has no problems?"
Modric also frowned, "I've seen some videos of Leverkusen's recent matches, and at this stage they're using a 3-5-2, with a parallel midfield, and when defending, the two sides can still be retracted, which is barely justifiable, but with this formation, I really have some concerns!"
Neymar isn't really concerned about that, he only cares, if he's in the starting lineup or not.
And Sommer was quick to put everyone's doubts to rest.
During a pre-training tactical seminar, Sammer described his playing style with this lineup.
"Forwards: Schürrle, Rooney."
