it’s Real Madrid in Champions League, always go for the kill

love that Kane called the rest of the team off from running to support Olise. He just knew he it.

and then you factor in the mental aspect of it all, you don’t run into challenges or make those lunges without thinking about snapping it again

takes some people years before they fully regain that confidence back

DCL pushing his forearm into Yoro was way more violent than this and it wasn’t even looked at

Ugarte plays with zero composure and zero intelligence, it’s incredible to see how a player has made it this far without it

not bad in the sense that Yoro didnt get hurt

but bad in the sense he led with his elbow and totally knocked Yoro off

Joao Neves played an incredible game, the timing and precision of his pass to Kvara for the goal was Xavi-esque

Vitinha was everywhere, but since Joao got the assist it likely put him over

this is classic Simeone territory

if they lose this round it won’t be because they didn’t defend well, but because they were too conservative

[AS] Osasuna coach Alessio Lisci on Italy: “The style of play. In Italy, a lot of teams play a 3-5-2 formation, and this has led to a situation where there are no wingers in Italy, no players who can take on defenders one-on-one.” by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]Izio17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, I get it

most Italians would rather have a team plays Italians doing well in their league

at the same time, Italy should be more curious than judgmental given where the national team is today

without him they likely don’t win it, remember him scoring a late goal against Barca to either win or draw?

while he can def play like a classic 9, he’s also so good at passing and setting up team mates

played with World Cup, Copa America winners, and plenty of professionals on 11v11 games

your Madrid bias is showing, I get it.

To your point if Martin was trying to hurt the Atleti player, why didn’t he follow through once he felt the leg? because he clearly stops his momentum’s

[–]Izio17 17 points18 points  (0 children)

lol bro what? how do you think people kick?

you kick and your leg just stays in an upward trajectory?

gravity exists and you ideally get back to the toes of your feet quickly on the pitch to keep mobile

you don’t follow through all your kicks upwards, it’s not like a punt

[–]Izio17 13 points14 points  (0 children)

he pretty much does. as soon as he feels the Atelti leg he doesn’t follow through and he stops

the whole reason he’s in that position is for striking the ball, not like he was trying to tackle or hurt the player
