@NickStoll Probably 20+ other babies who lived in Barcelona at the time, who signed up for the photoshoot with Messi, but no one knows them now, still an impressive confirmation bias, like a Harry Potter passing of powers haha

@OrlandoNapoli22 Lol you put Juan Mata in that category, he was never out of shape or had the talent of the other 3, despite being undersized physically

@jaraaxz @UsmanIfc Name two you fool, I've seen the majority and the consistency is staggerring

🎙️ | Capello: “The national team is a reflection of the Italian league. In our league, players either walk or jog, whereas in other countries they run and sprint. When you then go to play a match where you need to sprint, you’re not used to it and you struggle. Habit makes you think faster, gives you the technique to anticipate a pass, to handle the speed of the exchange and the control — all things that in Italy we do at a rhythm that’s not suited to the international level.
The biggest mistake lies in the youth academies, where 12-year-olds are already doing tactics. I always have a bit of fun during speeches when I ask: do you have kids who play football? Yes. Do they do tactical schemes? Yes, they answer proudly. Well, I’d sack the coach immediately. Even professionals struggle with tactics, and they expect them from kids! Let them have fun — teach them how to kick the ball. Do you know what the problem is? It’s easier to teach tactics than to teach technique. That’s where we’ve failed — we don’t have the right teachers. You need to understand each player’s flaws: we’re not all the same; height varies, one may have a big foot, another a small one. Coaching is about observing, understanding, and teaching.
I was lucky to have GB Fabbri as my coach at SPAL — he lived for technique. Liedholm, for warm-ups, made us spend 20 minutes juggling and passing. It may sound old-fashioned, but we still play with the ball, and you’ve got to know how to handle it.”

🗣️”The problem in football is that players often learn to play in the wrong way, in reverse: first the execution, then the decision, and only last the perception.”

Take it up with Arsene. He said it. 😳

@cambi_2 Please translate that surely explicit spray he gave Karacic once his curled shot went wide haha

[Denis @deniserge1]

@cambi_2 Unless we’re talking force of character and the low sock aesthete, don’t see it, quite distinct profiles at the this point in there careers, although I could see Adjin morphing closer to De Paul’s style five years down the track

[Denis @deniserge1]

@cambi_2 @Hirald0 @passevertical Surely not, De Paul and Paredes have been underwhelming in possession with the latter laughable off the ball in his cameos, most impressed with the undroppable Macallister in his varied ways of receiving the ball, better than Messi in that respect and allows continuation of play

[Denis @deniserge1]

If you need reminding of extent of talent we’re speaking about, here’s a brief montage of his time in Rotterdam, driven on by the death of his step-father, he reaffirmed his abilities as the greatest European player ever - https://t.co/JiCpqt7Nce

You should invite @nirvanadiary onto the show, with his recent book release, being of the few English sources regarding Cruijff’s epic final playing bow - https://t.co/BA3C0re7jN

@Forsberg1Jim Who demoralised, has rested on his laurels since the World Cup, stagnating his development/form, far below the peak he reached at a young age. Arteta’s enlightened midfield knowledge can be beneficial for him if he still wishes to exhibit his supreme talents in the future ...

[Denis @deniserge1]

@Forsberg1Jim Come on man, that’s not a very informed view, both parties are in the wrong, Arteta was unwise to alienate Mesut from the squad, especially with the recent lack of creativity. On the other hand, it’s hard to feel sympathy for Özil ...

[Juani Jimena @JimenaJuani]

How many matches are played in the same match?

In a talk (one hour long, which I already started to subtitle in full) that Bielsa gave in Argentina a few years ago, he tells about the different games are played in a game.
