On the field, Juventus began launching consecutive attacks.
Guardiola shook his head with a hint of disappointment.
Del Neri, with over 700 matches under his belt, focused on a 4-4-2 setup, where the wings played crucial roles.
But today, Martinez was more focused on defending Huang Kaiwen, while Marchisio on the other side seemed more like a sideways defensive midfielder than a winger.
This kind of wing play naturally lacked the organizational ability needed in Del Neri's 4-4-2, and now it seemed that Juventus' attack was entirely reliant on veteran Pirlo and the two defensive midfielders.
This raised an issue, whereby if the defenders pushed too high, the defense lacked any protection during counterattacks.
Hoping to learn and refine his tactics, Guardiola felt that today was going to be a disappointment.
Guardiola looked down, retrieved his notebook, and started flipping through it, thinking it might be better to study equivalent exchange instead of the opponent.
