No, use zonal marking, so his AMs are covered by your side DCs and DMCs, and wide midfielders. No red arrow on your MC, only on the flanks since that is where you will attack.
He kicked my ass badly 0-6... kinda expected thou! too much of a lvl difference (around 20% better!)... ill try something else in the 2nd leg... but guess he will kick my ass the same!
