Technical report of the match:

The Mazembe club team plays with a game plan (4-5-1) or with a plan (4-4-2) and puts pressure on the opponent with balanced pressure in the place of the ball, that is, in the zone defense method, and cuts balls from deep in the field and plays long balls in the depths of the opponent’s defenses to end the attacks with counterattacks.

The Mazembe club team is distinguished by playing fast through balls to transfer attacks from defense to attack. The Mazembe team is distinguished by its strong structure, and the Mazembe team is also distinguished by direct shots on goal from outside the area.

The Mazembe team's weaknesses are that the defense line is not good at reverse coverage, especially from the (right) side of the team.

One of the team's weaknesses is the lack of direct pressure on the opponent from the team's defensive four, while there is a space between the (right) goal and the (right) back of the team, a space the width of the field.

One of the team's weaknesses is the lack of direct pressure on the opponent from the midfield, which has spaces the width of the field between it and the defense line, which leads to direct shots from the opponent, and God is Most High and All-Knowing.

May the peace, blessings, and mercy of God be upon you
