@avluey Playing a line-breaking pass through an opponents' press is always inherently a risk. You are blaming him for Puli's mistake, which is that Puli never checked his shoulder.
If Puli makes the correct play and we advance up-field, you would never be citing this video.
@JB_In_SC@Milan4eva1026 Can you provide one example of him "wanting to be the poster boy for the team and get credit for success"?
He's at worst, the third best player on the team. You seem to be equating that with him needing to be a vocal locker room guy. He's not, and that's OK.
@JB_In_SC@Milan4eva1026 what does this even mean? "wants the perks of being the team leader"? Huh? He's the most accomplished player on the team. Generally regarded as the best at soccer. That's it. He's never been a leader, never asked to be the leader.
