Thomas Tuchel continues to run an excellent marketing campaign for professional football managers; Los Hijos look totally transformed from the Lijnders team, with Rakitic orchestrating everything in midfield. The struggling Arbor Red were no pushovers here, either, fighting hard despite a one-two punch early in the first half and netting some truly delightful goals in response, with Neymar’s a real highlight. The hosts looked far better going forward than in defence but must fancy themselves to turn things around if they can give this kind of effort in every game.
