@jdeposicion It's unreal that so far, 2022, we still give Busi the whole project, the main man in the middle, instead of giving it to Frenkie. We should be creating an scheme/ecosystem around De Jong. Busi is 33 smh
Frenkie (and Pedri) should be present and future of Barcelona.

🚨 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: Barcelona are considering signing Castello Lukeba if Alejandro Balde leaves this transfer window, reports @MarioCortegana and @theathleticfc

Hansi Flick a 𝘽𝙄𝙂 𝘼𝘿𝙈𝙄𝙍𝙀𝙍 of the 23-year-old defender, who can play both as centre-back and left-back.

"A lot still has to happen" before Barcelona makes a move for Lukeba, writes The Athletic. "Balde’s departure would be required before seeing real progress here, but it is one to keep an eye on."

At a meeting of the International Astronomical Union 20 years ago today, astronomers vote on a definition of a "planet." The new criteria:

🌘 Must orbit its host star
🌓 Must be mostly round
🌒 Must be massive enough to clear away other objects of similar size in its orbit

Pluto fails on the third condition and becomes a dwarf planet.

Xavi Espart won 10 of his 14 duels against Elche - more than any other player on the pitch.

And had an assist.

All that while playing as a left-back, not even his secondary position.

Such an intelligent, high-quality, and versatile player.

La Masia did it again. 🔵🔴

Statistically, Pedri got nothing from this: 0 assists, 0 key passes, 0 big chances created. Just another one of his 42 successful passes that people will look at and call him a “side-passing merchant”

[The Purist @ThePurist_]

We cannot truly understand all the forces at play in a football game. Every tiny decision creates a million possible outcomes.

So we choose to look at it through a specific lens. A simplified understanding that focuses on certain things and ignores others.

Coaches then pass on

No le han sacado la segunda amarilla a Vinicius por simular el penalti.

Do you know what Balde’s problem is?

He is essentially the same player who was given an opportunity by Koeman against Bayern five years ago, coming on for the final half hour at Camp Nou. Same strengths, same weaknesses, and that’s not even mentioning his injury issues.

During that same period, Fermín emerged, performed brilliantly, developed, and eventually became a big star.

Lamine Yamal and Cubarsí came through after him. They developed, became undisputed starters, established themselves as world-class talents, and went on to become global superstars, winning both the Euros and the World Cup with Spain.

Eric García reinvented himself and became a leader at Barcelona.

Gerrard Martín keeps improving every single day.

For me, a hard-working player who improves every day, every game and every season is more valuable than a talented player who doesn’t develop.

That’s why Balde leaving wouldn’t be sad news for me, and keeping him wouldn’t bother me either.

A quite frankly, ludicrous goal from Dom Ballard. 🤯
