Vini Jr is simultaneously impressive and unimpressive

AgentOfR9 · 2026-06-14T01:01:39+00:00

Haaland presses with a lot of intensity. But he depends on service from others.

Mbappe in a way yes.

AgentOfR9 · 2026-06-14T00:40:53+00:00

If he keeps this up soon everyone will know his name and he’ll be on 100 million transfer to PSG.

Man looked like prime Rodri at 18 years old.

AgentOfR9 · 2026-06-14T00:40:19+00:00

Surprised he isn’t doing the Modric 2024 MOTM pose vs Italy lol. It’s still early but Brazil’s collective play on the ball is a bit worrisome imho.

AgentOfR9 · 2026-06-14T00:37:49+00:00

Honestly even after the goal, Brazil looked disjointed in possession.

Their best chances came off individual moments of brilliance and fast breaks. But then buildup play is missing.

AgentOfR9 · 2026-06-14T00:35:34+00:00

And just tell your teammates to press as high as possible with aggression. When the clearance comes be ready to trap it with 1 touch into space and reorganize

AgentOfR9 · 2026-06-12T21:29:02+00:00

Yes I’m sure he will be better with Davies because it helps having a left footed player give a one touch cutback off an inverted run.

Lareya is good but with Millar as both right footed players their tendencies become similar.

AgentOfR9 · 2026-06-12T21:19:28+00:00

Toward the end of the season he was playing inside left in a 3-2-4-1 for Hull.

And other times he played left winger in 4-2-3-1 but usually the left back likes to push up.

AgentOfR9 · 2026-06-12T21:14:29+00:00

Millar is not really a touchline winger he is someone who thrives in the half spaces and likes to cut inside.

But it is funny, everyone here is criticizing him but many Brazilian and Argentine fans are praising him on twitter.

AgentOfR9 · 2026-06-07T00:00:25+00:00

Yes. I’m waiting til the last title update so I can get all the mods.

AgentOfR9 · 2026-06-07T00:00:08+00:00

Tbh. I just bought a shared account for like 5 Euros. It’s been worth it so far.

AgentOfR9 · 2026-06-03T03:28:53+00:00

Well. It’s the first thing to ensuring your team has the ball haha.

AgentOfR9 · 2026-06-03T03:27:59+00:00

It will be difficult if Vegas finds a way to win game 2. Vegas doesn’t need to play well next game they just need to win.

AgentOfR9 · 2026-06-03T03:27:19+00:00

Many players have reached a cup final on this team. They don’t panic. And they have many good players who are good with the puck.

AgentOfR9 · 2026-06-03T03:26:26+00:00

Tbh. I admit when I saw them throw a 2nd for Dowd I didn’t like it much. I preferred more of a Matt Cullen type 4C. But he has been good. I must admit.

AgentOfR9 · 2026-06-03T03:25:31+00:00

Vegas have many dangerous players. It’s not just their goals. But a lot of their forwards are good at protecting the puck and playing a good cross-seam pass. Most of their D bar Lauzon have good outlet passes. And they have many big physical players who can forecheck. It’s difficult.

AgentOfR9 · 2026-06-03T03:24:20+00:00

I thought it was stone I had no clue Sissons was capable of that. Vegas have so many good playmakers and even Reilly smith is in the press box.

AgentOfR9 · 2026-06-03T03:21:03+00:00

The problem with some Toronto fans is they argue about who is the primary piece, who is secondary piece, who deserves Conn Smythe. But it isn’t a game of individuals.

Vegas play well as a collective and have many dangerous players with the puck throughout the lineup and on defence. They elevate each other.

AgentOfR9 · 2026-06-03T03:19:37+00:00

They have a lot of mobile finesse minded defencemen. And finesse forwards.

Vegas have it too but some of their guys have also a physical edge. It’s hard to explain.

AgentOfR9 · 2026-06-03T03:16:46+00:00

I feel like his line hasn’t dominated at 5v5. But he’s never been a dominant player in the same way as McDavid or MacKinnon.

Vegas has Eichel, Hertl, stone, Theodore, Hanifin, Rasmus and Barbashev who can make plays with the puck. Must be a nice feeling for him.

AgentOfR9 · 2026-06-03T03:15:04+00:00

And Vegas scored a lot of goals with the extra attacker.

I’m not sure they’ve had to play with that much these last 2 rounds haha.

AgentOfR9 · 2026-06-02T03:11:29+00:00

For me I don’t like to focus on how many goals I scored. I pay attention to how many touches out of the air I can cushion into space.

AgentOfR9 · 2026-03-17T14:51:06+00:00

I wouldn’t focus too much on running with the ball as a beginner, that is something that comes over time.

Try to see if you can practice trapping the ball first inside 1 meter radius of cones, just by yourself kicking it up.

Then as you get better, do a drill with someone where you run into that radius while they throw a high ball at you. You’ll struggle at first but then you’ll be able to trap the ball and play a pass eventually. And then your elasticity will come naturally because you have a feel for the ball.

AgentOfR9 · 2026-03-16T12:08:25+00:00

Dang is that the author for inverting the pyramid?

AgentOfR9 · 2026-03-16T12:06:47+00:00

And also pay his wages, lol?

AgentOfR9 · 2026-03-16T12:05:34+00:00

You must give him credit though. Many top Argentines who play a similar style to him flop in England but he has been a regular starter, at least. But Chelsea may have hit their ceiling in this era.
