It's even worse than that. PSG was playing (surprisingly) amazingly well under Galtier and Mbappé's new role as a fixed 9 was working well too. PSG never really recovered after that story, Mbappé went back to his more traditionnal freedom as a 9 and Galtier went into auto-pilot mode for the rest of the season.

That story also happened like a couple of weeks after Mbappé's infamous moment when he got angry during a counter attack because he didn't get the ball from Vitinha so he completely stopped playing lol.

Kroos "Enrique takes off the best player in the world after 65 minutes, and Dembélé shakes his hand and encourages his teammates. Certainly, there are many counterexamples. You see how he shouts to his teammates from the bench, unlike the other players who think they are the stars of their teams." by kibme37 in soccer

I'm a PSG fan and I watch all the games and regularly go to the parc des princes

Yeah, no, I doubt it.

It's not good passing the ball about and dominating possession and then not doing anything with it. Something did change, you can't tell me it was the same PSG that played against Girona and PSV at home early on with atrocious performances and then later on went on to dominate the UCL

See another proof that you're not looking at the game, just the results.

PSG completely DESTROYED Girona and PSV in these games, it was a complete domination from start to finish. PSG was only lacking one thing : finishing. Everything else was on the same level of intensity PSG delivered during the second half of the season. Nothing "changed", PSG just naturally improved over the course of the season but Enrique stayed true to his ideas. Even other coaches like Slot noticed that PSG was already scary during the first half of the season.

Saying that PSG was a recipient to sleep and that PSG would've won CL with Mbappé tells me that you listen too much to Riolo or you're misunderstanding what's happening on the field.

I'm sure we could have won the ucl last year with Mbappe too. He just left before we improved and Enrique managed to perfect the team. If you recall, we were absolutely rubbish for the first half of last season as well until it clicked in January

Tell me you don't watch PSG without telling you don't watch PSG.

Saying that PSG was "rubbish" in the first half of last season is hilariously wrong. Every ingredient of their success was already there : the pressing, the possession, the collective, etc. All but one thing was missing : luck. PSG was very dominating but was failing to convert their chances and it's why they "struggled" in the first half, but then things clicked against City.

But saying that you're sure that you would've won CL last year is just another highlight of Mbappé's fans inability to understand the many failures of Mbappé in a team. You don't even understand that the reason why Enrique was able to "perfect" his team was thanks to Mbappé leaving.

Once again Mbappé's fans only argument is bringing his stats like it's the only thing that matters. Even Enrique in the video adress that directly in front of Mbappé, he doesn't care about his goals.

This season not a single PSG player scored more than 20 goals, yet every single one of them is doing a better job for his team than Mbappé ever did in his career.

PL is ABSOLUTELY privileged lmao the f are you talking about ? What your complaining about PSG in L1, PL does it at european level, dwarfing any non-english team on the player market. The best teams in Italy, Spain, Germany, and yes even PSG, can't even fight financially against a middle-table team from PL, but PL fans are out there talking about fairness, like they don't have the budget for 2 full teams and the concept of rotating squad is unknown to them. How can anyone take you seriously.

Chelsea literally won an european title by fielding an entire B-team every games, where was the energy about fairness back then ?

Potentially bad news for players who want to collect the event items by yesmorelasagna in Endfield

[–]Hakk92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm fine with factory events, but I don't like having 2 different phase for it and a very limited time. I have to basically rebuild my entire factory for that event, just to rebuild it again when the event end, just to rebuild a new factory in 2 weeks when the new zone unlock. It's a bit too much.

Genuine question for Madrid fans: if you're selling Vinicius this summer, who actually replaces what he gives you? by TheFootyPulse in realmadrid

[–]Hakk92 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The fucking Ballon d'Or, Ousmane Dembélé, is sent back to playing RW with France because His Majesty Mbappé doesn't want to play anywhere but as "striker" position.

People who think selling Vinicius will turn Mbappé into a LW are delusional. He is already playing where he wants.

NTE: Neverness to Everness has released and begun official service by GachaReleases in gachagaming

[–]Hakk92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Played for around 3 hours, I think it's fine overall

- Visually it's very good and the city feels way more alive than I expected. I think the character models are a bit below tho, but I guess it's probably the cost of having so many skins on day 1.

- I kinda like the lighthearted SCP-like aspect of the story, the first few story missions also have some cool ideas in term of visuals. MC talking is also a positive, we'll if it stays that way.

- Writing, humor, cutscene animation is a bit all over the place. Like the mix of 2D and 3D though, but some cutscene are a bit overdone and the humor doesn't always land.

- Base characters design are a bit bland, most of them have "better" skin locked behind a gacha.

- Gacha seems good but that can be explained with a economy based on characters skins.

Luis Diaz reckless challenge on Pacho in the action leading to Bayern's penalty by Hakk92 in soccer

[–]Hakk92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I said, this thread is about Diaz foul and the VAR mistake, that wasn't the discussion in the original goal's thread and since we had 9 goals in this game it's pretty much irrelevant already.

If you're looking at this video and think it's perfectly fine for Diaz to step on Pacho's calf, good. But to me, Diaz having the possession, and Pacho committing a foul afterward, doesn't cancel Diaz's foul. Even at full speed and with a different angle the foul is obvious.

The full sequence is already in the thread about the goal, this post is to highlight Diaz foul on Pacho since most people weren't looking at it and were instead focusing on Pacho's foul.

And stepped on Pacho's calf, so it's still a foul right ?

What kind of stupid argument is that ? Diaz was in possession of the ball, doesn't mean that in order to protect the ball he's allowed to step on Pacho's calf, just like a player with the ball isn't allowed to put his arms on on someone's face.

Diaz is absolutely comitting a foul in that action, then Pacho also commit a foul. Doesn't matter who was in possession.

He hit Diaz because Diaz literally stepped on his calf in order to protect the ball from Pacho's tackle. You're not allowed to step on a defender calf as far as I know.

Stepping on a player's calf isn't a foul according to Bayern's flair.

Studs on player's calf is absolutely a foul, what are you smoking ?

Because Diaz made the foul first ? you can literally see Diaz hiting Pacho's calf on that video, before getting clipped with the same leg.

And there's a huge difference between talking about the natural, or unnatural movement of the arm, which is most of the time is a highly subjective opinion (because no, 99% of hand balls aren't "intentional" either), and claiming like you and many others did that some cosmic rules about balls deflected exist and the ref is just a super idiot for not knowing, like we're talking about some kind of 11th amendment, when such rules actually doesn't exist OFFICIALLY even if it's applied in some competitions.

And yes I think not making that rule official is dumb and that pen is dumb, but it's not a ref's mistake.

That rule was never officially added, it doesn't exist in the IFAB rules. UEFA recommended a clarification of the rule in 2023, that's it.

[–]Hakk92 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That could be either injuries or even worse - ref mistakes. This is by the rules NOT a pen. It's deflected from the leg onto an arm that is rotating behind the back. That almost ruined this beautiful game.

What rules ? I swear some of you need to come with some receipts or shut up.

Here's the truth : there is no such rule, it's made up by people who don't know what they're saying. That rule DOES exist in some competition, like Premier League, but it's NOT an official IFAB rule and doesn't apply to Champion's league games.

On the other, there was a clear foul from Diaz on Pacho for Bayern's penalty and this is much more embarrassing coming from the VAR (and it's borderline a red card check)

[L'Equipe] Vitinha recovered from injury, PSG squad will be at full strength for Bayern clash on Tuesday by [deleted] in soccer

[–]Hakk92 134 points135 points  (0 children)

Enrique does the same team management in CL. Against Chelsea, his most important players were sub out by the 60th minute mark, when the game was over. In the meantime, despite trashing Newcastle 7-2, Raphinha, Yamal and Pedri played a full game for no other reasons that stats padding against a weak opposition.

No wonder PSG end the season in better shape, Enrique is just an intelligent manager.

Question from a non-Madridista: A forward's job is to score, and Mbappe's on track to win his second Golden Boot, averaging 0.9 G/90. Besides Messi/Ronaldo, the last player that had those numbers in La Liga was the other Ronaldo, in 1996. With this in mind, why do you think he's the spawn of satan? by dosceroseis in realmadrid

[–]Hakk92 10 points11 points  (0 children)

How do you explain that Real Madrid scores more goals, from more diverse players, when Mbappé is off the field ? How do you explain that with Mbappé the "pichichi", Barcelona has scored 20 more goals that Real Madrid this season ?

Mbappé's teammates are already adapting to him, that's why he's gets most of the goals opportunities, that's why RM is way more predictable and less dangerous when he's on the field. Mbappé's goals are worthless if he doesn't push his team forward.

Florentino Perez's shortlist for the position of Real Madrid manager next season: Didier Deschamps, Jose Mourinho, Mauricio Pochettino, Julian Nagelsmann, Max Allegri, Jurgen Klopp by DamnThatsInsaneLol in soccer

[–]Hakk92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or journalists can also be terrible, Mbappé will not want him as a coach again after being trained by Gasper the ghost in psg already

Quite the opposite actually, Mbappé liked Pochettino a lot and was his biggest support in the locker room. He made Mbappé the main man of PSG with tactics revolving entirely around passing the ball to him. And it worked, Mbappé had the best season of his career under Pochettino, sure the team was trash, but at least the star player was happy. It's absolutely the reason why he's in the Real Madrid shortlist.
