8 - Pedri

[BBZ8800]

Pedri defensive work is underrated. Bet you guys miss having Suarez hanging up there with Messi while our opponents are attacking

Suarez will win La Liga as a key player.
Pedri won't.

You compared those two, I am just replying.

Suarez fits the Simeone Striker system to a tee. The other 9 players press like hell to make up for him staying up top and getting goal scoring chances. He would not be able to do that here.


Amazes me how many people wish for him back when it's clear that he was done for our system. He would be a major liability next to Messi

And why weren't we pressing like hell to make up for him and Messi? Because the squad's and coaches weren't good enough. We gave away a striker with quality still left in his game and kept the dross instead...

Because our squad is awfully designed. Zero sense.

Cause u can only press like hell if only one player is
Sleeping, cant be done if 2 players are sleeping.
U would be exposed like hell when u face good teams.
Modern football just cant have 1 player sleeping
And not pressing, let alone 2 players, so suarez or
Messi!?

No team in the world can press as a unit with one player that runs as little as Messi let alone trying to claim team should be running for both him and Suarez.

Absolute joke to suggest that could happen.

Look who plays next to Suarez FFS, two workhorses in Correa and Carassco who run themselves into the ground every game. The Atletico system is more of a 4-5-1 in defense, with Corea and Carrasco working their socks off in transition as midfielders.

Simeone even gave up on Felix as starter specifically to cover for Suarez's poor defensive work with stronger players defensively.

Simeone deserves the title tbf. He stuck to his philosophy all these years, at least it pays off for once. Not attractive football by any means but still effective.

8 Kantes will do it no problem

only pays off when both RM and Barcelona end up with absolute meltdowns due to mismanagement. even then, he almost bottled it. even if he wins, my opinion of him as a manager has definitely lowered. a tier 2 manager at best.

[vegitot]

Called up for Spain in Euro 2020 as expected. Hope he plays well.

 

[khaled_a_d]

Just hope this means no Olympics for him.
