Carlisle Wants a Transfer?

This substitution adjustment, whatever it meant for Barahona, had an immediate effect on the match.

The second corner was taken.

Tavares was not entirely sure of his role in the corner-kick attack and started running around aimlessly.

That disrupted Fiorentina's defenders.

Of course, in such a crucial Champions League group-stage match, Cheloti's approach would still receive support from some people.

Replacing defense with attack was also a good option.

But no one expected Enriquez to
