🕸️Coordinated Long Legs in⚽️ = Dominance
More space coverage naturally, natural propensity to thrive in the transition
Greater Radius (better tackling coverage, more space accessible dribbling (giraffe style), better separation & maintaining separation, greater span...
=PnP 📈
@MartienBall
If you think any keeper albeit a miracle from god can stop that from any elite player shooting on target there i don't know what to say to you
@F4STFATI
@Keyneer7
This type of mentality isn't sustainable and leads to superficial relationships
You don't make a personal decision off of public opinion, especially a big decision like your partner
Yup, Nunez too. Chicharito. Forlan & Cavani had it too
Romario & Diego Costa as well. Suarez the king of this.
It's South American forward heritage and it can get you over the line
It brings chaos, the opposite of what any defender wants and at this levels it's margins 🤏
@idoxvi
@EduCama_
My man scored an OG and i didnt even bother to see what happened with the Alvarez goal
Unlucky but you can't say Militao hasn't been poor in recent weeks
@dxmrem
One of the biggest tactical whoopings on a grand stage that I have ever seen in modern football history
Sheer naivety and lack of guile from Carlo not only with his lineup but with how he approached the game
The spaces Bernardo/KDB were picking up, kudos to Pep for that tweak
@4mxrioo
Oh this I agree with 10000% percent
Imagine he went to City for example or made a return to Madrid
Or even a Bayern project
Or stayed at Madrid, etc
@ExJohnHonestyy
They can both unlock it but easier to unlock the ball striking for Vini's case than Rodygo unlocking Vini's athleticms, and Rodrygo is quite rapid himself
Vini's scorcher against Sevilla last year and this vs Manchester City.... he's getting there
@PremLeaguePanel
Exactly, their goalkeeper is class, defense solid, midfield one of the best ntl midfields assembled ever but they just have no one upfront the likes of Petrkovic and Mayer
@vini_ball
Sometimes it was decent but ffs a full bald undercut and a comb over in the middle of his head
Best it looks when he blow dries it, lets the sides grow more
or even his shorter styles in his early madrid days/last bayern days
@totalcristiano
The guy is a legend tbh, remodelling his game, adapts to different players and sytems
If they win the world cup, he sits with Zizou and Platini/Henry for his time with Les Bleus
What a player, fell in love with his game at Euro 2016.
France's depth is nuts, even their z team.
@CompsPSG
@VikingoBlanco6
@KaizerRMA
The pace, the 1v1 ruthlessness, the clinicality, the speed of thought and execution, the sheer athletic and physical superiority, the brilliant link up play and vision, the technical dexterity
We need these generational player at our club, gawd..
@HugoFilmz28
Even has that same shoulder bob as he runs like Jude just a bit bigger
Box crashing, quick feet on the dribble, long legs to eat up space, frame that can shield the ball for ages
and is a precocious young prodigy....
@rajsinghchohan
Which is why when Vini Jr (esp 1st leg) stopped trying to always beat him in a full on straight sprint & began cutting inside we saw what happened to Kyle Walker
@idoxvi
@EduCama_
Not Rudiger , silenced Haaland when he came on as well, shameful he didnt start.
Alaba today tho.........
Tbf if his and the Kroos strikes go in.....
@rajsinghchohan
Especially with no profiles to play that way
Chelsea have no true physical outlets. All this when Palmer/Jackson were both off
Chelsea desperately need a clinical bully ball striker up there and they have none
Been crying out for this profile since Drogba/Costa days
Fumbled
@TeacherOfBall
@Clamps_Clampin
@MCFC__RAY
How many UCls did you win with Aguero, Kompany, David Silva, Leroy Sane, Gabriel Jesus & Yaya Toure?
How many UCLs did you win with Bert Trautmann, Mike Summerbee & Yaya Toure?
Man City fans trying to go history for history with Madrid is like Pep beefing with Arteta for hair
@crsxsa
@eokallel
He's had chances at LW and in left sided zones but hasn't been as consistently impressive as Vini and at times even shown just as/if not more incredible form on the right
One of his specialists, dribbling and cutting inside, ofc those left sided angles favor him more
@rajsinghchohan
The move in one action to settle the ball and then play with pass outside of the boot with the same foot
So effective at chance creation and take little to no time to execute the play
Common trait among top players, Bale, Modric, Di Maria, Quaresma, Dani Alves, etc
@PremLeaguePanel
Yup. Everton days, Belgium days, one of the best back to goal players I've seen.
Aguero, Romario other good shouts off the top of my head
Young Zlatan was a menace at this as well, became more of a bounce off stationary player as he got older, ala Dzejko
@TeacherOfBall
"struggling", we're top of the league + still in & juggling all possible competitions + starters out long term
+You guys have the luxury to spend 100mil on a center half piece to rotate with Ake/Akanji/Stones
Spent more in the last 5 years than us in almost double the time
@rajsinghchohan
From Jude to Fede to Tchouameni to Camavinga
Only spending money on the right profiles
Technical, Tall, Athletic, Intelligent
Just physical monsters, all young too. Learning, growing, morphing together under Madrid's triumphant culture
Success ✅
SHORT STORY:
Our squad is too flawed to use a free-flowing 433 formation with a controller/high-volume passer-
We are 19/20 Liverpool; we can ONLY win if we play to our unique strengths (identity) by staying narrow and ONLY starting players who can collectively press high.
@WolfRMFC
Why is everyone making a big deal out of it... people would be writing essays if they saw half the stuff that goes on behind the scenes
It wasn't "nice" from Lewandowski but that's not what life is always all about
Everyone robotically tweeting it too lol (love you wolf tho)
@fcimrobin
He can regain it, Speed is largely neurological. Writz returned better than ever from his ACL but not with the current methodology he's under
@TeacherOfBall
Top of the league +Topped our group in CL + whooped the reigning Italian Champions + our best best players are out injured + bigger squad holes than y'all
@rajsinghchohan
I NEED, Football 𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐃𝐒 to see a pure Mbappe/Rafa Leao vs Araujo 1v1
No back up defenders/triple defending, just mano a mano
Preferably on the transition/in wide areas
Would be a come & see, especially in a competitive match
Footballing specimen
The talent is oozing in every play
The height, the PNP, the duel winning, line breaking, chance creation, ZOI..
And people say Garnacho or wtv new age winger comes close to this
The way Ronaldo has added more tools every yr in his game since - A Reference
@andruchk
Seedorf x Makelele x Edgar Davids rolled in one regen
But taller, better aerially and the potential he has when he becomes better tactical wise (defending space)
and develops his right foot
He has inter-generational potential and more once his final third game improves
@SelecaoTalk
No idea why he's not getting capped
Brazil needs Thiago Silva back
Militao healthy again
and Lucas Beraldo integrated- can do a Gvardiol like stint and get minutes at LB too
The full back pairing starting and off the bench for Brazil is nasty
New blood needed in midfield too
@andruchk
He's finally breaking into the final third and testing himself
Shooting, breaking into the box, committing himself
Against Athleti at home he was prowling on the last line ...
Love to see the final 3rd aspect of his game rounding out
@andruchk
Even look at his masterclasses for Croatia, he cooks in deeper positions now
Less space for him to cover up & down & his build-up abilities only seem to have gotten better with age.
Can use his brilliant ambipedal passing range to good use there and has someone to cover for him
@ElGatoKBenzema1
@VikingoBlanco6
Siempre Benzema...... can't believe he left the camp
Roles reversed if that was Messi, Argentina would do everything in their power to preserve him
Maignan injury really hurt France, if they had one or two of their normal starters they would've won
@MAYORCRIS7
@EIonOUT
Shocking he has braided his hair on numerous occasions
His current GF likes to do the same as well
He sported it alot in 2004, that picture you posted is from the Everton Away 04
@MuhmdHishamx
His long passing technique and wing play to generate chances is fantastic
Has the intelligence and IQ to dictate centrally and had completely changed his game - the guys a fantastic target man and ball to goal link up player
So darn complete
@UtdMuRay
@utdcynical
Did bro just use his hands lmao
I had to run that back 3 times lol, so slick for what?
Thought he was dinho with that ATW knee tap wannabe lmao
@losblancoszone
Has been fantastic the times I've watched him and if the board wants him, he's truly special
Might be a couple out there that trump his profile package overall but you can't go wrong with Inacio
Arguably Portugal's best performing CB atm
@NazTechez
@MartienBall
Context is everything, can't take apples and compare it to oranges
Messi literally retired from international football b4 someone brings up the trophies dont matter argument lmao
This was when Ronnie legitimately had the upper hand in the great debate
Profuse of iconic games
@rajsinghchohan
Did you see his assist to Joselu vs Girona (top of the table clash)
Trivela inside those pockets is such an underrated chance creation technique,so high XG or creates expected goals out of nothing
The boy like Erling is very physically gifted & talented is very eager to improve
@pelesburner
He was referring to Mbappe staying for the season and not leaving in January
"Finish what he started" was not just in reference to the champions league but Ligue 1 , etc
It'd wouldn't classy for him to dip middle of the season from his boyhood club/city
@muss_j10
Mbappe in that central free role drifting wherever he sees fit, doing damage in that LHS (linking, firing off shots) & threatening the last line....
It's cash money man... can't wait for him to develop more CF traits (aerial ability, hold up, etc)
@JohnProgress7
@Mooriarty0
@JA9ballr
He was good there at Dortmund and even had some spells there for England
Madrid don't use him there because he's the most efficient player in world football as a midfielder and top goal scorer of La Liga? lol
@andruchk
One thing though I want him shooting more in zone 14 areas/making runs ahead of the ball especially when we're playing Tchou - Kroos/Cama with him to cover
He has that class to hurt you then (games against Sociedad and chances vs Granada perfect example)
This can win us games
@andruchk
Solid CB, phenomenal, outperforming Dias at times and should be ahead of Silva have watched him a couple times for Portugal
Wish he was a bit bigger , he's not slight at 6'1 31 kg
Still prefer the likes of Beraldo/Lukeba
PSG's frontline is BOUNCING
Electric & Exciting
Bradley Barcola's physical profile is immense. Those long rangy legs grant him access to a whole other side of his game most wingers don't have
Dembele's wonderful agility & ambipedality
& Kylian is Kylian - intergenerational🙌
@MightiJamie
@TheDunkCentral
@IQfor3
Telling a WC athlete he needs some "muscle" because he you dont fancy his form/looks and cant look beyond the superficial
His function is telling you all you need to know
Twitter casuals trying to weigh in on super athletes, we've seen it all
Vinicius' mentality is truly desirable/enviable for many pros
All the battles he's had to deal with since he was a youth, off the field, with the fans, the racisms, the obscene fouls and he stills kicks on
He still decides games
The memes, the trolls, the laffs, STILL
Vini Jr
@rajsinghchohan
His brain simply is on another level to other footballers in combination with world class fascial biotensegrity (ie agility, athleticism, etc)
He's also on another level technically , reminds me of guys like Pele, Maradonna, etc , you rarely can get the ball off of him cleanly
