He is still very young . I firmly believe when he gains more muscle mass and has more experience he will make one hell of a fullback. His profile is most desired at fullback nowadays. For me his biggest flaw is his crossing is too shit, and it's very important for a fullback and we see zero improvement on his crossing
Nah, he's braindead and his technique is far from what I expect from a Barca player. Left footed af, 0 brain, can't defend, can't read the game and his crosses are worse than fucking Sunday league level. Dude is AT BEST benchwarmer in a club like Barca, not even that tbh...
At prime Barça yes, this is what you people miss to acknowledge when saying such things
He actually isn't imo. We have great players all over the pitch... Yamal, Pedri, Frenkie, Eric, Kounde, Cubarsi, Raphinha, Joan, Rashy - imo even Olmo is alright, Gavi is useful and Tuna is doing good. Bernal, Casado, Christiansen and Ara a step behind - but Bernal might catch up. Balde though, he's a fucking donkey - liability in attack and defense. One trick pony only good with his left and shit crosses. Nah my man, with a new #9, WC LB and decent backup CB we're actually going to challenge for CL next season.
I was just pointing out at the fact we have a blueprint on how Balde would look in a "normal" defensive system
It does make it harder on defenders, but it also sorts out the average from the good defenders.
I won't judge the second half on anyone. The game was over after Araujo red
