Hansi Flick still hasn’t unlocked the real Gavi yet
Everyone worships his pressing because they’re blinded by noise. I see something far more dangerous, a controller with the technique of Iniesta and rage of Gattuso
Built to dominate the flow of football itself #FCB

The hardest thing in football is to win the biggest titles as a heliocentric figure (only Messi and Maradona have ever achieved this), so everyone should be patient about Lamine’s club career and dependencia, good things will come soon as we bring smarter players and systems
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?

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.
Well,the face of world's best attacking system being PSG I think more of Bayern.
Players like Stanisic and Kane going out of their natural positions to help in other phases is something we lack.
Our Fullbacks offer way less than what's expected from ones who dominate europe
Terrific thread outlining the 'robotic' way of playing Barça is moving into, looking more predictable. Also outlines the burden the team heaps on Lamine despite the horde of talent in the squad, wrote something about it something ago.
Nice thread.
Amazing thread from Abe.
Thread fleshes out Yamal's burden, which includes Messi's career with Barcelona and his turn-around with Argentina as a case study for creative dependency and how to evolve away from it.
An ultimate reminder that football is a game played by 11 players.
