If Isak had been match fit, he should still have been hooked at half time. The lad stands between centre halves and waits for the ball to be handed to him on a plate. When he closes down he wants the ball to be passed before he gets there. He is on for minutes before the World Cup. That’s it.
Wirtz thought the game should be played at a quarter of the speed it was and did not want to know.
