England prepares the “cat and mouse” strategy to stop Mbappé
England prepares a special strategy to try to stop Mbappé on Saturday in the quarterfinals against France. This has been revealed by the second coach of the English team, Steve Holland, who has explained that they will use the ‘cat and mouse’ strategy. Is about a system devised to annul Mbappé and that Holland already used to stop Messi when Chelsea beat Barcelona in the Champions League, a competition that the London team would win that season. Gareth Southgate’s assistant has a history of finding ways to shut down the best players in the world.
“There are a handful of players on the planet that you need to pay special attention to. Messi has been and probably still is,” Holland explained. He also recalled that this type of player always hides a weak point: “There is always a plus and a minus. It’s that cat and mouse: yes, we still have to try to deal with it, but also we have to try to exploit the weakness that his super strength offers.”
