    Gamper trophy: Barca - Boca 3-0

    Good to see our forwards pressing and moving without the ball

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    Totally. I think technically he improved a lot during his career, increasing his range of passes and quality of his finishing. His ball control still is amazing, controlling the ball in tight spaces like no one else. Mentally, he sure improved in his extraordinary vision, decision making and...

    Arthur

    As I am the person that probably watched him more than anyone (I'm a Gremio fan), I want to clarify some things about Arthur and this "side/back passes" subject: - He's not an attacking midfielder to frequently send final passes. Ex: Isco, Coutinho, James Rodriguez. - He's not a pure defensive...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    Barca problem is not a walking Messi, because he actually do something amazing during the game. Barca problem is a walking Suarez + walking Messi.

    Arthur

    Exactly. You can have the best passers in the world, but if nobody is moving, the ball will reach the player and back, a thousand times in a game. Barca needs players moving without the ball, so the ball can go forward. The team that played in friendlies didn't have superb passers, but they were...

    Luis Suárez

    I'm shocked. He didn't improve in anything and looks terrible everytime he gets the ball.

    Arthur

    To be fair to him and others midfielders, this Barcelona is soooo slow that when he gets the ball everyone is man-marked. Busquets was behind him, Rafinha was jogging, Messi and Suarez walking mode and Dembele was the only one moving. The team that played the friendlies were much more faster...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    It's funny how people keep saying that ronaldo is a machine, has a body of a 18 year old teenager, scores anywhere and from everywhere, it's the superman, a god and bla bla bla bla. Looking at some stats I saw the opposite: 2017/2018 season: Messi - 54 apps, 18 assists, 45 goals - goals +...

    André Gomes

    Don't care about the price, just sell him

    Arthur

    For those who are worried about Arthur "being fat", he always looked like that here in Gremio. Maybe he ate a lot during the world cup :lol: but he will be fine for the season.

    Yerry Mina

    Keep him to use in special moments, like in CL hard games or against parked buses. Knowing that Barca lacks so much in the air, both offensive and in defense, it would be a weird decision to let him go. Not saying that he have lots of quality as a center back, but he adds a different dimension...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    You're giving too much importante to an armband. A talkative guy will be talkative with/out an armband and a quiet guy will be quiet with/out it. Maybe in the past being a captain would make more sense, because the captain was suppose to be the only to talk to the referee (at least in Brazil it...

    Arthur

    Do you need help? :lol:

    Arthur

    His best position is CM with a DM behind him. He can play DM if needed but it will reduce his possibility of making dangerous passes, because he will have to stay deep. He never played AM in Gremio but I think he would be great as well, due to his vision, technique and control. I think with the...

    Sergio Busquets

    Barca could bring Kante, play him as a CM to cover the middle and the right area, his energy, speed and stamina should be enough to do that. Let Busquets play as a DM and Messi at RW. I think the main issue would be when Kante goes to right area to cover Messi. In that case, our CF (Suarez...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    You're saying that based on what? Lots of sideway passes and run like a bitch to the area seeking for a penalty?

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Looking to the future, Messi really needs a preseason with focus on his physical. Technically he's still the best, but his speed and stamina are limiting his technique. Messi needs to understand that he's not young anymore, his physical abilities tend to decrease, not the opposite. We know he...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    I agree with that, but Enzo Perez played most of the time at right mid. If he's starting against France, then he should be the guy to cover that area. Also Messi himself needs to defend, he showed today that he can.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Kante is the reason why Messi needs to play at RW against France. If Messi plays in the middle, Kante will run 3x more than Messi and Messi won't get the ball. If you leave Messi at RW, Kante will leave Messi there or he will follow Messi and leave a gap behind.

    Sampaoli left the field just after the game ended. It means that Messi is the coach now :worthy:
