Here’s a perfect example of everything described. No team when in possession against a low/mid block should have a front line of 5. Villarreal in this screen grab have 6 players in midfield as well as adequate cover in the back.
@UtdDavidd 1. Utd are way too linear
2. A press resistant Ball Progressor is needed in this team as much as a destroyer.
3. Our CB’s are too fearful of utilizing space due to exposure
4. Exposure is caused by the fact that as a team we are too wide in midfield when in possession.
Nothing I hate more than commentators/pundits who say “the real Ronaldo” with a chuckle as if it’s blasphemous to say whatever statement they said about CR7. We all acting like y’all didn’t change the man’s name to fat Ronaldo when CR7 was in his prime?
@MohamedASalad@ZachLowy Portugal have all the signs of a poorly coached team. Why are we acting like Roberto Martinez wasn’t criticized at Belgium for havibg zero attacking patterns and structure. It was always give it to hazard or KDB. Made this WC midfield look average and we talking about Cr7 🤦🏿♂️
@AndyMitten classmate in primary school who'd watched his debut for Barca the night before recalled to us "there was a kid for Barca who had the ball glued to his foot", 2004 East Africa, the electricity would cut off 10-11pm midgame, they made sure the generator was always on for him.
@MohamedASalad Really bizarre because I think ultimately it was a convo worth having albeit shitting a bit on mbappe. Deleting it and changing his tune after a goal means the original comment was reactive and he is just focused on being right. Disappointing.
@umirf1 why delete the previous post slating mbappe? I mean I agree with the premise of that tweet tbh, but why the obsession to seem correct all the time from football accounts on here?
When FIFA eventually tries to paint a picture of America as an unpredictable host nation, just remember, the signs were there all along. This is from the Copa America which was held in the U.S.
@xfx_makky@BayseSports In the end tho, if you’re Ronaldo or Messi, you trust your finishing even at a bad angle more. I think the elite 1 of 1 guys who take responsibility for outcomes disproportionately are allowed such selfishness.
