what a livewire ffs, peak Mane-esque in how agile he is. has explosive sharp turns in any direction throwing his body around yet still manages controlled movements + focuses on delivering into box & involving CMs. how you can watch Mbaye in training & not start him?
Whats so disappointing. I had them as a Dark Horse,
Took my stocks out as soon as i realized Thiaw essentially doesnt know how to platform their talent properly
there’s absolutely nothing wrong with African talent. there is a huge idiosyncratic problem with how they’re set up, and in how we see ourselves in the world right now that goes well beyond the game.
Dembele's activity is so important as a Ballon d'Or balancing act
And because he doesn't bitch in media outlets people are left with no choice bar making up their mind on their own and we can all see that
"Just get surgery" "injury prone"
He's not. He's the best athlete at the world cup (and incidentally the best footballer)
And was badly managed and forced on the pitch too soon repeatedly
Same people who call Messi world class at 39 dont hold him to world class stats expectation btw.
Cant pick and choose when to use the age card.
In football, age is the least important attribute in a player.
He hasn't rum more than 11KM since 2011. FACTS.
I find it cute when these newbies in Europe walk around in the safest quarters of these cities and call the whole nation safe.
Go to Marseille lady, or even Gare Du Nord, Porte de la Chapelle in Paris at night.
The funniest archetype of footballer is a generational national team player who is a defender playing out of position for no reason.
Remember when Alaba used to play as a no.10 for Austria in Euro 2016 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
