Ivan Rakitić

Can't wait to see Vidal thoroughly outperform Rakitic's average output in every single way next week only to get sent back to the bench again. Never seen a player quite like him, who can drop a 3/10 and have his thread filled with generic "good performance", "good defense" nonsense pulled out of peoples asses.

Only today when he is so undeniably horrific that even the casuals who pay 0 attention throughout a game can't deny that he was bad.

And rest is only part of the problem. Rakitic isn't Schweinsteiger incarnate just because he gets a bit of rest. His abilities are just completely overestimated by most of the people here and Barca followers on twitter/reddit too.

Do you really think that you are one of the few unique supporters who have fully grasped the complex concept of football and see Rakitic for the fraud he allegedly is in your eyes? In case you didn't know, Rakitic has been playing non-stop for two seasons now (WC up to the final included) and that definitely played a role in today's perfomance, for instance. The way he was strolling back during Betis' counterattacks (alongside Arthur and Busi) meant that he was either half-assed or completely gassed, and I am inclined towards the second hypothesis because Rakitic usually is one of the few players who gives a fuck and puts a whole shift. He could have become complacent due to his undeniable place in the starting eleven though, which is why it is even more important to fucking rest him in at least some games, a concept that EV does not understand.

I had a revelation and have reached a conclusion that must be the truth because nothing else makes as much sense as what I'm about to tell you now.

Valverde is a scientist on a quest to discover the amount of stress and work human body can sustain without breaking.

Rakitic is the human subject that Valverde is basing this experiment. He's taking notes, with specific dates and times and is observing the changes in Ivan's body as we speak. A file in Valverde's diary containing his scientific observations has been discovered. Its contents are as follows:

Experiment no32.

Subject: Rakitic, Ivan
Age: 31
Nationality: Croatian
Body type: Ectomorph
Body fat (percentage): 6-7% of body mass

Time of the experiment: November 7 2018
Context of the experiement: The day after the FC Barcelona game vs Internazionale Milano, Football Club (a professional football team based in Milano, Italy).
Number of minutes played by the subject so far in all competitions: 1.312

Observations:

Upon inspection, the body of the human subject shows no visible signs of decay, even if the duration and intensity of the applied stress should indicate more damage. The muscles can still sustain a moderate degree of effort, which can allow the subject to keep performing sporting activities of professional level, including professional football games with the senior team.

Extra notes of suspicious nature:
The subject known by the name of Rakitic, Ivan is showing to be a superior athlete. Other subjects haven't made it this far. We have to continue to study him to discover what exactly is impeding this subject from completely disintegrating as a result of ultra solicitation. It could be something in his DNA, or this could be a trait common for male specimens born in the Balkans. We have to further expand our experiment to provide a scientific answer on this matter.



Recommendations:

Further pressure needs to be applied in order to study its effects on the body (and, more specific, muscles and bones) of the subject in question. Until that moment is reached, we cannot form a clear conclusion. This experiment is thus classified as being in development.

Next scheduled experiment:

November 23 2018.

Update, 11. 11. 2018
Subject has carved under mental pressure, therefore the experiment will be put on hold for a week, when the subject returns from international break. His body is still in prime condition and capable of continuing testing, but because of the regulations of Spanish Football Association, the experiment must be put on hold.

+1 Been saying it for last couple of years. Also remember there’s a good 5 or 6 Croatian members on here who see him through rose tinted glasses.

What an utter bullshit. Vidal outperforming Rakitic who was great for the entire last season and who was superb against Inter and Real?! A player who has played over 1.300 minutes this season. Well done mate! A true picture of Barca fans these days. :worthy:
