@xxfw1da What the casuals didn't realize is that Flick only wants attackers that fully understand the pressing and 'rest defense' side of the game too. Barca creates so many scoring chances that finishing is not the only priority. Gordon has better defensive understanding and work-rate.

@Benedicto_2000@penaldocentral I know, but he usually does not deal with issues like a gentleman, and if he did, I'd definitely would have much more respect for him.
@Ayor_rebirth@penaldocentral He's definitely not the goat of football and not the best role model. I wish he did not act like a egotistical kid, cuz we all would have enjoyed his football more.
@penaldocentral Great achievements, not much grace. I know in that game, the opponent was trying to provoke him, he generally does not control his ego well, which is the main reason some of us dislike his attitude.
@sayo_bb2@BarcaUniversal I agree with the respect part, but not by playing him. Also, I kinda believe Flick has a system for new players to prove their commitment to his tactics. Maybe the new goalie still does not play sweeper-keeper like Flick wants. Flick care about age, but about tactical-level.
@georgio69_@_onlyscott However the point is: Naturally, no athlete will be the greatest every single year of a 20-year career. Plus, the votes are subjective anyway.
@georgio69_@_onlyscott To some extent, it's a popularity contest. Messi was certainly popular in the football community and for good reason. Also, the majority of football tacticians and experts rate Messi higher than everyone in his generation, if not of all time.
He did not need BDs to be the goat.
@vwcaife@_onlyscott I know you know how great Messi has been. If Messi had zero Ballon D'ors but still had the same career, would you think less of him?
