16 - Fermín López

Some players get every excuse in the book. Witch girlfriend, pubaglia, depression, age, lack of quality teammates, fasting.

Other leaves his heart on the pitch working tirelessly to defend and press while on top assisting and scoring basically every match. Rides the bench, subbed out whatever.
All this earning fraction of this superstar.

And still gets criticised.

Yamal is levels above.

It is a pointless comparison that one and wont work out well for Fermin.

He gets criticised mainly for his selfish behavior at times

In El Clasico he fumbled a 90℅ goal when it was 1-1 because he shooted instead of passing to Rashford

This is where he has to improve and then I'm sure many will rate him better

Always levels to players and different roles.

He is criticised for his shortcomings as a midfield player, just like every other player on this team.

He scores and provides assists, but he can also be selfish at times when a teammate is in a better position to score. He often wanders around the pitch instead of getting involved in the build-up when the team is struggling to move the ball forward, etc.

There is a reason why he is not a starting midfielder, and it is not because he is not a big name.

His contribution for opener against Villarreal was what he's all about.

Pressed hard and won the ball and set up perfectly Yamal for 1-0.

Fermin is a gem.

He was very good yesterday, but again you clearly see the night and day difference between these guys and Pedri/FdJ in terms of controlling the midfield. Our midfield yesterday was very mediocre before Pedri was subbed in.
