love dembele but this is exactly what’s wrong with modern fans, you're judging current awards based on last season's form, he's not even psg's best player this season
ofc olise has a case but dembele is nowhere near what he was last season. turn on the tv.
olise was great today but griezmann did 3x more than this every game while carrying the entire midfield on his back
the fact that people are only realizing his value now proves the "mbappe carried france" narrative was the biggest fraud campaign in football history
messi literally dragged a baseline argentina squad through conmebol for years (the hardest qualifiers itw) and took that 2014 team to the wc final with a cooked attack
you think he wouldn't qualify in europe playing with bruno & vitinha? be serious.
it takes a special kind of low football iq to look at a guy who pep and scaloni completely trusted and used everywhere to win a treble and a world cup, and claim
he’s 'less talented than endrick.'
@CFC_Dubois appreciating what exactly? the fact that he's holding back the most stacked golden generations in football history just to feed his own ego?
it's world cup ,if you can't press, can't run, and disappear against top teams, you get called out. that's football, games not gone.
nobody is saying a striker is finished over one bad game lol. haaland being subbed off normally isn't the gotcha you think it is when the issue with ronaldo isn't just having an off day
it's the refusal to adapt and play for the team instead of his individual stats
@grizi7i modric literally came off the bench for real madrid to help them win titles, zlatan took a backseat at milan to mentor the younger guys, and maldini adjusted his game completely. they understood that the team comes first
zlatan, maldini, and modric reached their 40s and got nothing but respect because they adapted, accepted bench roles when needed, and didn’t force the entire team to play for their individual stats
the criticism isn't about age, it's about ego.
@ayamavii1 players before him didn't have a massive PR machine claiming they were the undisputed 'GOAT' at 40 while actively holding back a golden generation of prime talent
when you demand to play every minute and your fans call you the king, expect to be judged like one
look at the sheer, ridiculous depth of this generation leao, bruno, bernardo, neves, vitinha, mendes,felix, players who are in their absolute prime, world-class at the highest club levels,
they should be playing a highpressing, fluid, modern football that suffocates opponents
i’ve been stressing about this for months. this is genuinely the most complete, deeply talented squad portugal has ever produced, and we are actively watching them handicap their own ceiling just to protect ronaldo's ego
it’s actually sad..
