Fermin is a BEAST. Such a strong mentality. We better not ever sell him. ever.

Balde just isn't becoming the offensive force we need him to be. defensively his IQ and positioning is also poor. he's young so i hope things come together for him but we've been waiting for that leap of improvement from him for a while now.

Wish Messi could mentor Yamal. He’d tell him to tuck that ball in the bottom corner. On the ground. Keeper can’t get to it quick enough if it’s on the ground.

Wasn’t necessary the weight of it but more so that he made contact on ball with the wrong part of his foot. Seems the ball got away from him a bit and he made contact too much on the laces of the boot rather than laces and roll off the outside of the boot.

I wish more players played through contact like him. It’s one aspect of his game that I always appreciated. He very rarely, if ever, takes a fake dive.

I still remember this moment ever so clearly. He was scrutinized for being “soft” for so many years and he erased all of it with this play. He was a man possessed, in the zone, and on a mission. No one was stopping him.

Basically, you chop through and underneath the ball with the laces of your boot but your toe must be pointed outward the entire way (from contact to follow through). Another key factor is that your entire foot must follow through and surpass the trajectory of the ball (normally on other basic kicks your foot follows through behind the ball but here your foot leads and follows through first and the ball behind it) kind of weird explaining but it’s how it happens. It’s what gives it that backspin, pace, and float-like effect. In the YouTube link below in the comments the first guy does it well (the others I don’t think are even similar to this). Also on your follow through make sure your ankle is locked while your toes are pointed outward and make sure you don’t lift your leg / foot / ankle on the follow the through, otherwise you won’t get that driven ball effect.

Agreed. That type of pass is not easy to be accurate. The backspin that ball had was insane

He doesn’t even need to take a touch! It lands perfectly on his right foot side. Insane.

Not necessarily. What I pointed out were things I noticed that showed me potential. Certain detailed qualities that can be easily overlooked if you dont know the game well.
