The Cameo against France in the semis, the cameo against Argentina in the final and now this cameo, i think it's only a matter of time before DLF will have to start Pedri again.
Football is finished, man. Soon, there won’t even be many people left who actually know how to watch it.
Look at Dani Olmo yesterday. He put in a reference level performance as a No.10, one of those games where you can actually learn something by watching him — and barely anyone said a word.
Then you wake up today and X is flooded with posts praising Bellingham.
That’s what football has become for a lot of people. They don’t necessarily talk about the player who actually played the best football; they talk about whoever is more popular, more hyped or gets the most attention.
It’s not about understanding the game anymore. It’s about repeating the names everyone else is talking about.
Olmo can dominate a game technically and tactically, and people will ignore it because he isn’t as popular as Bellingham.
Actually watch football instead of watching the hype.
Rodri @ 23 secs in is the type of arrogance on the ball when you feel like you've achieved complete mastery of the sport lmao, he acc let it run across him to bait a press just so he could stunt,
When you’re chasing 1 goal deficit and your opposition’s midfield has Pedri it’s over. He goes 5 levels above the rest and thrives in these kinds of game states. He calms the ball down, let’s your team breathe and frustrates the opponent. He and de jong did the same vs Newcastle.
