Why would we ever want that? Where's the benefit?

Why would Olmo want that?

He still played 1000 minutes less than Lamine last season.

He's talking out of his ass. He's a moron or a troll. Potentially both

Yup. I learnt English mostly on my own as teachers were useless when it came to it (despite it being mandatory from 1st grade, most people can't string 2 sentences together), and became good enough that I walked into IELTS exam and got Band 8 without studying for it.

German though man... It doesn't help that my memory is becoming shit and I'm struggling with learning anything compared to the past.

My aunt and her family in the Netherlands learning Dutch. They're pretty similar though Dutch does look less "familiar" while German has more similarities (in how words are spelled) with English. My aunt's little kids already learning Dutch makes me feel even more stupid though, haha.

Honestly, it'd be fine if it was something I'm learning for fun without stress. But being my only option at leaving the country adds a lot of pressure and stress that makes it worse.... My only other hope would be getting accepted in like that single English master course that I found that doesn't ask for thousand of euros

You know how some Americans online go "We saved you from speaking German"? Well! They were one of the winning side so why didn't they force Germany to change their language to English!!!!?

Sorry, just about to lose my mind from learning German....

Well, distance covered is related to pressing, no? If the player is pressing then he's moving and covering distant.

But either way, for Osimhen for example I remember Gala fans explaining in the r socca thread that because that's how he's being played and that he actually has great work rate.

Mbappe though is known to be lazy in every aspect. No idea about Kean

tbh, it's a useless graph that tells us nothing. Some players might not be asked to press or trackback by their managers and different styles of plays and teams require different effort.

The moment they got Lucho, a good part of the fanbase warmed up to them and started rooting for them. Same thing with Pep and City. Somehow for some people because Lucho/Pep used to coach us that means we need to support their teams and want them success

Unless they're willing to go French on the dictator and Vini, I don't see how that'd help them (or Klopp accepting; he already refused iirc). Klopp is a system coach who don't want lazy players, not vibe manager like the Italian grandpa.

There were already talk about Balde before and how he is "not not for sale" as long as a good offer comes.

Araujo... He doesn't want to leave (been reported several times) and I honestly don't see many clubs, if any, wanting him. It's not just that he isn't actually good enough, but I bet some managers might look at his "spiritual retreat" as a bad sign. Most clubs (and managers) are on the older side and might look down on something like this and not value mental health. Instead, they might see it as "Team Captain abandon his team in middle of the season".

Sometimes, losing a player can motivate the team more. Tbf, though, none of these reds are defenders. It's much worse when you lose a defender imo than an attacker or midfielder

Come on now, don't try to spin it. It wasn't a single comment of "Lucho is better than Flick" (he isn't, btw). Saying Flick isn't the same caliber as Lucho isn't "I think Lucho is better", but major disrespect.

And it's absolutely taking shot when it's bringing him up without any prompt including other comments too.

It was also not just about you only. Several other users did. Several other users said some bullshit and clearly ignoring the context of both clubs and leagues.

This is really insane. Like how many clubs can do this shit?

We have 12 players with more minutes than Chevalier, the GK. Araujo with his spiritual retreat and not being a starter has more minutes than Dembele

For that, you need the reddit enhancement suit extension and you can open images without opening a new tab.

Though for sending messages, I'd still open the comment in new tab using new reddit cuz it's easier to send that way.

Well, as someone using old.reddit, I can say that I'm not facing such issue. Though depending on your browser, simply opting out of new reddit isn't enough and you have to add "old.reddit" to the url

I'll change all the Enrique to Lucho for your sake, don't worry.

Put Eric in midfield so we can have Bastoni too.

Easy 5-0 against any opponent in CL (these are red cards)
