183 - Hakimi

Luckily, Jimenez had foreseen that Brighton, despite having a possession style of play, might have moments during the game against Real Madrid where they couldn't have that style of play, so he prepared his players to be more reactive and adapt to that game, being able to defend.

That Brighton trained this new style of play only to play against Real Madrid was one reason Daniel and Luiz Fernando were performing so much better than normal. This system of play favored them.

The English team's attitude surprised even the commentators. Although the Spaniards kept more of the ball, it was Brighton who showed greater tactical discipline and adaptability.

However, Hakimi, the Real Madrid right-back, was one of the most active players on the pitch. Whenever he received the ball from Óscar Rodríguez, he sped into the opposition half with an impressive burst of pace. Aidan had contained his attacks so far, but Hakimi was far from giving up.
