๐จ Here is why Rayan Cherki doesnโt see many minutes for the France national team.
Rayan Cherki is a talented player. He is very technical, can keep possession, beat players, and create chances for his team. However, there are reasons why some coaches hesitate to give him more minutes.
Cherkiโs style is based around possession football. He likes to have the ball, take players on, and create moments, but sometimes he holds onto the ball for too long and slows down the tempo.
This style works better under coaches who value controlling the game through possession, like Pep Guardiola, Mikel Arteta, and other possession focused managers.
However, modern football has become more intense and transition based. Coaches like Didier Deschamps and others often want quick decisions, high intensity, and fast movement. In that system, Cherki needs to adapt because holding the ball too long can affect the speed of the attack.
Even when Pep Guardiola changed Manchester Cityโs style to a more direct and quicker transition approach, Cherkiโs role became harder to fit, and some fans criticised Pep without understanding the tactical reason behind it.
For now, I doubt Cherki will get consistent minutes under Didier Deschamps unless he improves certain parts of his game.
I see alot of Manchester City fans angry again about Didier Deschamps decision benching Cherki, he doesn't hate the boy he just doesn't fit his system
If Cherki can become faster with his decisions, release the ball earlier, and play with more intensity, he has the potential to become the world class player many people believe he can be.

๐ณ๐ฑ Virgil van Dijk is one of the first players at the World Cup to speak out against these hydration breaks:
๐ฃ๏ธ โI have been watching almost every game and I donโt really like the hydration breaks. And for the people watching on television itโs also not great.โ
โIf itโs REALLY HOT, then obviously you need it, but you need to look at it game by game.โ
โBut I think I have said enough alreadyโฆ..โ
He's absolutely spot on to call FIFA out, as they've just sneakily turned football into a game of four quarters, like NFL or basketball so that broadcasters can sell more advertising.
It's disgusting, it's a clear ploy to get more money and they've dressed it up as a player welfare measure.
๐ธ This photo of Luis Enrique, Josรฉ Mourinho and Pep Guardiola gets better and better with every passing season.
But who's the fourth guy, walking to the right of them?
๐ฆ๐ฅ Well, that's Carles Busquets, who turns out to be quite an important figure in the Barcelona history.
Not only is he the father of Sergio Busquets โ he is a former goalkeeper who was part of the club for 9 years as a player.
In fact, Busquets played a key role in reshaping how goalkeepers were viewed in modern football and what was expected of them. While Carles wasn't regarded as the most reliable shot-stopper, he was exceptional with the ball at his feet - something that was essential to Johan Cruyff's philosophy, which demanded that goalkeepers contribute to build-up play.
As a result, Busquets was hugely influential in popularising the concept of the sweeper-keeper, helping to redefine the position and paving the way for the modern goalkeeper's role in football.

The craziest part? Daley Blindโs assist was so good that Manchester United signed him later.

๐๏ธโฝ During a press conference, a journalist tried to plant the idea that Lionel Messi was the problem for PSG by pointing out that the French club won two consecutive Champions Leagues after his departure.
๐ฃ๏ธLuis Enrique fires back: โMessi is not a problem for any team; he's the best player my eyes have ever seen.โ
โI've had the honor of sharing time with him, and let me tell you, he's an excellent player and an excellent person.โ
