20 - Dani Olmo

'The photo shoot already took place in July. At the time, the 26-year-old German said about the shoot:
I was lying completely naked on set for seven hours. Considering how uptight I usually am about the idea of it being published, I felt totally at ease on set. I had no issues at all. I’m very professional on set. I switched off my mind, lay there completely naked, and then things just took off. I’m incredibly proud that I had the courage to do it and that I’m the face of the editorial.'


Atleast lamine's gf doesnt do that

Andy Bara met with Deco to discuss Olmo situation. Crisis is official.
I wouldn't call it crisis yet, but his reappearing injuries is something that certainly needs to be talked about. Both sides can't be accepting this situation going forward. Not only can't you plan with a player like that, but he won't ever improve if he's being thrown back again and again and again with injuries on a two-month basis.

They must either find a solution together to get his physical state to improve or it'll be better for everyone for him to try his luck at a team, that isn't that physically demanding.

We need actual men in this squad, not 'talents' that can do alot under zero expectations and become beta wimps here.

The likes of Olmo, AC and to some extent Cubarsi and Garcia reek of weakness, even though I actually like Eric's passion for the club and tenacity - he just lacks the physical attributes and talent to be a WC CB for us.

I miss Leo, Suarez, Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol and even Alves - players with cojones who wanted to win and radiated this desire no matter the obstacles.

The closest thing we have to this mentality is Raphinha, Fermin and to some extent Gavi - even Lamine and Balde can be underwhelming, yet they are still young and I feel they will become stronger in this aspect of the game.

Messi and iniesta when it wasnt their day sulked horrendously. You just cant remember it. Suarez, alves and puyol were different breed.

Olmo is a fighter, he'll come back.

Iniesta wasnt that type of player at all.

He had the ability though.

There have been a ton of pure cule players that are not good enough also.

Far and away ability matters more.

Iniesta was a huge personality even though he wasn't gritty - an example was his demeanor against Cristiano after pushing Pep at Camp Nou.

Also, his heart was immense - Dani Jarque, crucial goals in the biggest matches.

Cojones can be many things, not necessarily all about being cule or La Masia. Stoichkov, Larsson and Abidal are other examples of non-homegrown players who gave their all for the shirt. It's the will and mentality that's key.

Yes and all these Barca players are giving their all.

Quality is what matters... thats what got Iniesta where he was.
