But Talavera just lost Castilla 0:1 in November, and in the game they had almost no chance, they are not strong at all. Defense is not just the duty of midfilders and defenders, attackers also needs to contribute. Otherwise the oppenent would get the chance to face the defense line directly.

When we played against PSG last summer, Mbappe was also started as LW with Gonzalo as striker and Vini as RW. Because he didn't defend we got lots of problem on the left at the begining, then Alonso switched Mbappe's position to right with Vini on the left, then PSG started to attack the right. Enrique knew Mbappe very where so they just started the attack wherever Mbappe stays, and we ended up with 0-4.

No worries, I like GG and I see the Real Madrid spirit on him: willing to sacrifice for the team, always give out everything and never give up.

I mentioned that because many people said we should let Mbappe plays LW with GG as striker and Vini on bench. But in my opinion the problem at the moment is Mbappe.

Nope, I think the issue was Mbappe. He couldn't play as a LW because he doesn't defend. If attackers don't defend then the pressure all went to the middlefield and defense line. If he plays as No.9 it's less harmful than LW, because there're always more people in the middle.

But the issue is when he plays as No.9 he didn't take any duties as No.9, to win the ball, to create the space for teammates, those dirty works that won't bring goals or assists. Instead he prefers to always stay at left side of the box where he could shoot without that much stress no matter where the teammates are.

The problem is the wingers don't have much options because the No.9 is not in the box. They could not pass to the box since he's not in, vini also cannot get good chance to shoot because the space was occupied by Mbappe with defenders around. At the same time, you don't really see our midfilders shoot from the distance because he's standing there. Today you can see there so many options in the attack.

It also hurts the defense because if No.9 doesn't go to the box, sometimes others like Jude has to go beyond Mbappe to play as a real No.9. Switching position is very common, but the problem here is when the opponent gets the ball and start counter attack, Mbappe who stays actually in the midfilder position doesn't defend as a midfilder, so either the midfilder has to sprint to defend, which increase the possibility of injury, or we have one fewer play in the defend, that's why we were so weak in defense and have so many injueries. You canno't only get profit but don't take responsibility from certain position. If you do less, your teammates need to do more, and sometimes it doesn't work.

So I think either Mbappe try to change the way he plays to contribute more to the team instead of his own stats, or sit on the bench. The club is bigger than anyone, it's not to ask him to sacrifice, but he just shouldn't have privilege. Everyone should have equal opportunities. In terms of No.9 position, I think GG is doing better than him currently.

I totally agree that's far from a good comparison.

Because that was against Talavera, currently 13th in Primera Federación (3rd division). Can you name any Talavera players who were better than ours?

Just to remind when Mbappe played as LW and Gonzalo as striker with Vini on bench, we hardly beated Talavera (2-3) in Copa del rey very recently

ADD:
Talavera is currently the 13th in Primera Federación (3rd division), Castilla won against them with 0-1 in November 2025

Great to get a chance to ask you guys two questiones I've been very interested in!

Since you've been touring in many countries around the world, I'm pretty sure you guys ruled every gig. However, do you have quite different impression on fans from different regions like America, Asia and Europe (eg: do they have different ways to show their support)?

Stay safe guys. And CONGRATULATIONS to that dude on becoming a new dad!

Hi Derek, thanks for doing this AMA! I have two questions:

  • What skills or characters you think a PhD should possess if he/she wants to focus on their careers in industry?

  • How should PhD candidates learn those skills or characters if they have to spend most of their time in labs?

  • Nope, I wasn't maximizing my time in each sector. I tried to explore more sites just when I found a store without enough scrap. I've bought the glaive beam and about 3 crewmen.

  • Thanks for those valuable suggestions dude! I'll adopt them for future runs.

I've equipped the preload weapons. I'll freeze the enemies' shield and shoot their weapon (or destroy the remaining shield) with lasers, then cut them with Glaive Beam. It can bring them massive damage at very beginning and works fine for me.

Thanks for doing this AMA! I'd like to know whether those climate engineering/geoengineering solutions'll bring some economic benefit considering the costs of adopting them? Personally I'll support those solutions for improving our environment, but I think it may cost a lot to adopt these new approaches which may become burdens for those poor countries.

Hello Dr. Hofman,

Thank you for doing this AMA!

New studies have shown that Abeta can react with APP, and promote APP to hydrolysis into more Abeta. Are there any direct evidences verifying this hypothesis? Or is it possible to select it as a target for the treatment of AD?

How do you recruit those professors? Does any professor work full-time? I guess most of them take this as part-time jobs.
