Neto plays for his club btw. Gusto can’t start for France and his team’s highest goal scorer didn’t make the cut for Brazil. Again, if you’re not seeing the pattern, then you’re blind. Join them to be tearing your own player down.
Bruno didn’t look great because Portugal’s game model was to strictly play around. There was no central presence or progression. Not blaming him for a system that didn’t platform him well.
Y’all expect Bruno to create magic, but who is he creating for? The LW isn’t making runs. The RW keeps passing it straight back to him. Ronaldo is standing two steps away waiting for the ball to feet. Mendes can’t overlap because nobody is attacking the space ahead of him. Yet somehow, Bruno gets all the blame.🤣🤣
🚨🗣️ Carlo Ancelotti: "I've prepared for over 1,400 matches. That may not be enough to understand football, but it's certainly a good amount of experience."
"Only one person has prepared more matches than me: Alex Ferguson, who has prepared for over 2,000. I take advice from everyone, but the only one who could really be the right person to give me advice is Alex Ferguson."
Deschamps has brashly taken all of his best players and fashioned them into the most lethal attacking unit in world football, sure.
But do they have the squad balance, leadership and cohesion provided by the likes of Dan Burn, Jordan Henderson and Anthony Gordon? I think not.
