#2 Diego Forlan was off colour
Trending
Before the game, a lot of newsprints was written over how the famed Forlan might impact the game. To be honest, the former Manchester United man did not affect the proceedings a lot, save for a deft touch to Defrederico which helped to set up the winning goal. He started off as a lone striker in a 4-2-3-1 system but was soon joined by Defrederico on the left and Leo Costa on the right to turn it into a very flexible 4-3-3 formation.
The Uruguayan dropped deep repeatedly to get the ball after he failed to receive proper service from his wingers, but he didn’t make pose much of a threat. One hopes that he can settle in as the tournament goes on, and make a more telling contribution to Mumbai’s attack.
