🤣 Madrid.
Alonso is at the wrong club if he wants to make this team run hard and press. They can do it in spurts but not consistently. Also for Alonso system or any pressing system to work everyone has to press. Thr forwards are just too lazy and the midfield lacks composure.
Madrid will compete in la liga but CL highly doubtful.
Football is more of a system game nowadays. Lazy, individual stars can hinder team success.

I think you are spot on.

I agree about the individual stars.. one star is fine, like Messi GOAT level in the world cup with Argentina, but everyone else has to run their socks off for the star. That ain't happening in Madrid, because they all think they are stars and others run for them. :D Vini, Bellingham and Mbappe. Massive massive egos.

Not a fan of Rodrygo. He has occasional quality but that's about it. Not a starter at big club, what hundred mil says. He is Torres level guy.

You are saying to me with a straight face that he is Torres tier, and should not fetch more than 50mil in Premiership market?

How much Real spent already? Arnold and signing bonus and all. A lot. I guess with the World Cup money and Rodrygo sale they could still buy someone. Probably midfielder.

Not nearly enough to worry about it, even without selling Rodrygo and prize money.

I am saying he is overvalued and will flop. British teams always pay too much, that doesn't make things smart or good. I also wouldn't keep those as a good valuation of a player.

He is not a 100mil player. That's a starter level for a top team. Is he starting for Real? No. Not sure what these teams see in him.

What? KingLeo and I said even before tourney began that they would trash Real.

You doubted PSG all season.

Too late now to talk about trashing, when it's obvious they are the best team in Europe.

Horatio L, too busy trying to read minds and not enough time trying to read balls.

😂 😂.

I'm kidding

As a profile of player, intelligent, controlling midfielders will always be way more attractive than guys who are on the periphery of the game and just get in the box to finish.

It's actually disgusting when some football fans compare Gerrard to Xavi or Bellingham to Pedri. The audacity. There's a lot of crossover between those types and the types who think Ronaldo is better than Messi, counter-attack better than possession, Jose better than Pep. The Temptation thinking type of football fan, in other words.

They simply don't hold Barcelona style as the pinnacle of the sport. Which makes no sense as Barca has influenced everything in modern football. Even watching this amazing PSG side - managed by a Barca alumni and have Cruyff, Pep, Xavi and Messi's fingertips all over it in terms of style.

Now tell me who in modern football is wildly successful but modelled in Mourinho and Ronaldo, or Ferguson's United? Fucking noone. You can win trophies playing like that but it is an outdated way of playing best left in the 00s.

Only January - March 2025 version of Flick Barcelona can handle Lucho’s PSG.

@NKMaribor told you you would get slapped around by PSG if they’re serious. Just like Barca slapped you all around. Too weak in midfield and too slow as a team. And garbage pressing.

That's what you get when you give a top system coach endless money, same as City with Pep. In the end, all their success is Barca's work and knowledge. They just bought it, like everything else in their oil states.

Everybody is talking about endless money at PSG. But defense was already there when Lucho came in, bar Pacho of course. And the other top performers he bought weren't even that expensive, by today's standards.
Nothing Barca couldn't swing, but we blew 120M on Ferran + Olmo instead of scouting for likes of Kvara, Barcola, Doue, Neves etc

Bullshit, he's their best player behind Courtois. He's just been disillusioned with the selfish galactic culture.

Front four of him, Pedro, Palmer, Willian (if he plays up to hype and not CWC level) would be best attack in PL.
