Just like always, Norman was using the four-three-three C formation, and today, he made sure he had all his starting players on the pitch except for Carlos who had to sit on the bench for Merino to start.
It was always a hassle on who was going to start between these two as they both had their good qualities which were always needed in a match.
Carlos had the speed to quickly zoom past the left back and create chances but he wasn't that good with shooting, he was also able to produce good dribbles although he wasn't as good as Merino.
Merino wasn't as fast as Carlos with the ball on his feet but he didn't really need that to get past the defenders, he had very good ball control that allowed him to dribble efficiently, he's way more decisive when it comes to shots and somehow he manages to get into good positions to take care of rebounds near the edge of the opponent's box.
In conclusion, Carlos was way more technical and that's why he was considered more of a playmaker.
