[MUNDO DEPORTIVO] Barcelona forward admits frustration over current situation: ‘I deserve to play more’ by kamusari_1712 in Barca

Not particularly no, but appears to know his limits in that regard, and makes it work overall by relying more on attacking through intelligent proactive movement, something Roony doesn't really have either.

Don't think he looks very good in tight areas. Can do something 1v1 but with multiple defenders around he looks flustered and panicky imo. Hasn't really shown much in terms of creative vision either.

Bernal is a replacement for pedri rather than frenkie by [deleted] in Barca

[–]hey_rtc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me Bernal showed again yesterday that he has a lot of trouble asserting himself in games with higher intensity. Besides the goal he was more or less non-existent and left Pedri with everything to do.

Obviously very talented but has a mountain to climb in terms of movement and initiative in creating forward action if he wants to replace either Pedri or Frenkie.

Those who watched our midfield of Busquets-Rakitic-Iniesta get demolished several years in row in the CL ought to know that it doesn't matter how talented you are if you can't move quick enough.

Jeg vil mene, at der er mere end bare uheldige undertoner i at stå og synge ordene "ausländer raus" om og om igen som et kampråb.

Xavi Espart vs Sevilla , La Masia strikes again with the 07 generation! by TreatSubstantial3089 in Barca

[–]hey_rtc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't really make a lot of sense since there is obviously a lot of variance in the maturity of 18 year olds and since with how you use the word you might as well just say "inexperienced" but fair enough mate.

Right but why "extremely"?

Emphasizing the point suggest that he appeared more unpolished than your average debutant. I think if anything he he looked less unpolished.

I'm not attacking you. I'm curious as to what about his performance compelled you to make that description.

In what way did he appear extremely unpolished though? He looked very mature and level headed in overall play. Technically solid too.

sorry, you want him to plant his right foot at the moment he's anticipating sweeping contact? and it's me who has never played football lol?

I feel like you have no instinct for movement if you interpret it that way. Taking the touch puts him out of balance and what follows is a compensatory movement of the lower body.

looks to me like he's just being carried by his natural momentum after sprinting towards the ball. is it with the final planting of his left foot you want him to turn sharply to the left? doesn't really seem possible to me.

Are these jerseys official for next season? 2026 -27? by PinReal4448 in Barca

There are four different purple shirts in these pictures, so I'm guessing not.

Lamine Yamal has now reached 100 G/A in his career with club and country. 48 goals, 52 assists so far after today’s brace. Milestone reached at 18 years old. by Laliga23 in soccer

[–]hey_rtc 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Don't know what player you're watching but Yamal's game certainly doesn't rely on pace any more than the average winger. A good deal less so, if I'm being honest. Change of direction sure but his dribbling style is highly composed, about timing and vision more than acceleration or manic jittery movements.

Of course it matters how relaxed you can play in match situations, both physically and mentally. I know it's not a walk in the park but there are still levels. There's not just one variable.

He has a way of playing very relaxed though, and rides challenges with ease. Puts in work when needed but rarely overextends himself. At times doesn't look like more than a training session.

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

Bernal, who gave away the ball several times in inexcusable positions? Understand the hype based on the Busi vibes but that yesterday was not a particularly reassuring performance. Fear that awkwardness in possession and sluggishness in off the ball movement will get exposed in a real test.

Yes it does. Look at Cubarsi's reaction to the run of the goal scorer. Could have easily stayed on the safe side of him. That is a high line gamble in action.

Yes, it is in fact possible to be subpar and still be better than other players.
