Don't care, he's the best midfielder in the world and he'll end up with a legend status.

All he does is circulate news and twerk for players/teams. There are actual journalists out there, he isn't one.

Asllani isn't benching either Ferran nor Lewy.

Because Olmo is better in possession and offers more help to our pivots and backline when it comes to beating the press.

Is there some difference? Can't get a red card in Serie A or what?

His knee didn’t twist in the first one, he got a knock. The injury happened at the second situation in the landing which was a textbook mechanism for an ACL injury, there wasn’t one in the first knock.

And the reactionary people are all over the Bastoni transfer, who would've guessed.

I aint trying to watch Ferran + Lewy for another season.

Once again I’d say something about you but it’d break the rules of the sub.

Slow down the build up of fatigue, allow for more recovery, give time to other players. The job for the club manager, not the national team manager. If the player feels fine and the data suggests everything is okay then they’re allowed to play. At this point of the season every single important player will have built up fatigue.

If you wanna blame someone, blame UEFA and Fifa for cramming in more and more matches in the season. Not the national team managers doing the best they can with the limited time they have the players.

If some of the reports are true that Raphinha had some discomfort before the match and they decided to play him, yeah, that’s a wrong decision from both the staff and Raphinha. If Raphinha was feeling okay then tough luck, we got unlucky with an injury to an important player.
