This system would help protect possession and prevent the opposition from scoring, while still allowing opportunities to find Lewandowski, Vitor Roque, and Pau Víctor for more goals when possible. The focus should be on securing the win-there's no need to chase a 7-0 scoreline, as a two-goal lead still secures the same three points."
