Marc Bartra

[linetty]

The kid crumbles under pressure

Because he plays very few matches during the season

 

[reaper]

naa, just low quality and he knows it. He simply doesn't have speed or technique, just a little bit of height which must have impressed someone..

We dont see the same in players like varane, nastasic, zouma, marquinhos,

Bartra has great technique for a defender.

 

[reaper]

Actually I think his technique and speed are his weaker points. His strong points are his size and height and that he is a youth player which should count for something.

I watched Man U get humiliated by Olympiakos mid week - they had a centre defender who is perhaps 70 times the player Bartra is, hugely fast, brave and massive technique... his name was Manolas (sp?)

You're comparing 2 defenders in completely different teams with completely different playing styles against completely different opponents and you dare to call others fools. Nothing else to add there really.

Bartra has great technique for a defender.

He is good on the ball and the fact that he takes risks by moving forward with the ball shows he doesn't lack courage either, since most defenders pass the ball sideways. I still think he doesn't read the game well and he needs a leader next to him, someone like Puyol, circa 2009-2011, not like Pique.

He doesn't have speed or technique? You clearly don't know much about football. He is great, just needs REGULAR playing time.

Bartra: "I don't feel pressured to become the new Carles Puyol, it's a challenge for me." [ara]

 

[Antimadridista1]

I think that Reaper knows as much about football as I do about Ouzbekistan.

so you can't compare good players in different leagues?
lol if your good, your good.

and reaper is right, bartra is bad.

Bartra: "The intensity in training is spectacular. This year, 20 players can start, you only know it last minute, so you can't relax." [ara]

Bartra: "Last year, my head told me: Marc, go to a place where you can play. But my heart said no. I'm a Barça fan, this is the highest."

Are dos santos, sergi roberto, cuenca, afellay, tello, montoya among those?

 

[Ghost]

Bartra: "I'd like to face Bayern again in the CL final, to get even after last year. It'd be a good way to win the Champions League." [ara]


k.

 

[Galning]

Try reaching the final first.

 

[Semi-Neutral]

He's just saying it would be nice to get revenge on Bayern, obviously he's not saying, "Oh yeah should be a breeze stroll in the park walk on the beach CL easy win no problem smack Bayern around take trophy be happy," he's just throwing out ideas.

But I do agree there's no chance we'll meet Bayern in the quarterfinals onward this season... nor will anyone else.
