When on Joao Felix he continued: “The same applies to him as to (Christian) Pulisic. If players with great quality, but a little light is forced to chase the ball more than play, then they suffer. In particular Pulisic struggled Also in his comebacks, which caused difficulties for (Youssouf) Fofana, (Tijjani) Reijners and especially (Kyle) Walker, who was often against two men, of whom the talented Paixao was always. “
Capello also said: “At San Siro I expect a completely different version, but we have to be very careful with the Dutch counterattack. And in particular of that Igor Paixao, who has placed a veteran like Walker in serious difficulty, which I am ultimately I am Even came out because he has experience and intelligence.
