I wish Diomande was affordable for Bayern, he’s such an exceptional player and this just the beginning for him. Even at this price in all honesty he’d end up worth it by the time he gets to that second contract.
I was the first one telling people about his lack of concentration...
If you don’t think a fully developed 6'4" Joan can make this save with his eyes closed, then you’re disrespecting his talent. It’s a huge flaw that’s limiting the amount of talent he can show; it costed us at the Champion league and even in the Copa.
if kvara & barcola were complimentary for ousmané then consider this a whole new level.
with diomande expect dembélé to get his 2nd 50+ G/A season & his 3rd balon d’or.
Maybe you gave it a blind eye. But all what am simply implying is our players tend to express more creativity when he's off the pitch, but defer to him when he's on it. We need players to be as proactive and creative with Lamine as they are without him, not dependent on him. Simple.
And once our team reaches the “just give him the ball and pray” phase, you’re no longer building sustainable control. You’re surviving off individual transcendence.
Thirdly, the buildup loses tempo because every sequence is delayed waiting for one guy to invent something
At that point, he isn’t just creating chances he’s carrying everyone’s decision-making
Like @immortalpains, he needs natural pass-first instinct

When LY becomes the entire creative system, we slowly lose footballing IQ
These things happens:
1) Nobody scans early anymore because everyone already knows who’s getting the ball
Secondly, movements stop being coordinated and turn into "lemme wait and see what he does first"
I understand people adore 1v1s but yet again, when one winger stops creating and the entire attack flatlines, it exposes the truth—there is no system only tactical addiction disguised as football.
There’s a quiet but dangerous dependency at Barcelona. Too many possession moments scream "give it to Yamal" and the entire structure collapses
Why does Flick allow the team to worship one creator while the rest forget how to think?

Barca's is less a player/talent problem than it is a coaching problem and lack of vision but for that you have to be able to see it, understand it and then to say it. The worst part for Barca fans is that they have witnessed most of it just a few years ago, yet...
