and i dont understand the point of this asymmetrical 532. a central position is definitely in Gakpo's future as he develops, but they are only using half the field in possession. Blind's existence was justified before the tournament by the idea that he was going to tuck inside and combine with Gakpo on that wing. instead he's just standing around and Gakpo is fruitlessly running into very narrow channels.

if someone with a better tactical understanding could explain this, i would be very appreciative
