    Lionel Messi - v7

    I watched the game between Argentina and Colombia. I was impressed by Cuadrado. He is undoubtedly the best Right-Back in the world; could have been the perfect replacement for D.Alves. Unfortunately, he plays at juventus.

    Gini Wijnaldum

    Some rumours reported Barca is interested in Gundogan (30y) from Manchester City to strenghten the midfield.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Lionel should focus more on how to optimize the pressure with the team. One of the advantages of an effective pressing is to slow down the opponent's attack and enable your defence to get back in shape and better organization. Brazil is already good at it; Argentina should improve. Also, they...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    - Argentina played a 4/4/1/1 formation: wwith Messi behind Lautaro. - In possession phase, Messi played mostly as a right winger (!yes), and DiMaria was more central, like a 10 role (but he isn't great at that). DiMaria is mostly a "crosser" by default. As for Messi, i think putting him on the...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    - In the second half, he played better and created some interesting chances. We see that he chooses his "moments". - Two good freekicks that were really really dangerous from him. - He played sometimes as a winger and sometimes as a midfielder/attacking midfielder. The problem is that the squad...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Argentina players are lacking vision; maybe cuz they need more chemistry and games together. I saw many situations when there is an "unmarked" player but the argentinian holder of the ball doesn't seem aware of it. + Ocampos is so dumb.. I would rather see Correa or any other winger at his...

    Memphis Depay

    - Depay has a good technique and composure. He can combine in tight areas. - He is not especially fast, but his pace is decent. - One of his weaknesses is his lack of defensive contribution. If he wants to play in Barca, he should improve that ! - The level of expectations is Barcelona is much...

    Ousmane Dembélé

    I saw his game.. Really nothing impressive. In many attacks, he was clueless.. and didn't create chances. Yeah he scored an easy goal, nothing else to mention. Don't forget he played with a strong France against a weak squad of Wales playing with 10 men only after twenty minutes of play !

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Laporte is another Lenglet. Nothing impressive about him. We need to sign a quality-defender who knows how to stop attackers, not just a defender who knows to give a pass. Remember the disasterclasses of Laporte vs Liverpool in UCL two years ago. You can't trust those average defenders.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    In PSG, ball recovery is the speciality of Idrissa Gueye, while creating from deep is the speciality of Verratti (+Neymar when available). Paredes doesn't have a clear speciality there.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    He can be a decent player, but no more. Argentina needs a worldclass defensive midfielder, as since the retirement of Mascherano they didn't find someone in his quality (at least in defensive skills and physicality, like in 2014). Brazil has Casemiro and Fabinho, two world-class players...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    I'd like to see a better quality than that in the position of Defensive Midfielders + Central Defenders (it's an average level). But this team still can win the Copa. They should believe in it, in themselves and fight for it. I think that's what will happen. This can be their year.

    "What's your name?" "Leo" "No what's your name." :lol: "Lionel" "No no, what's your last name" "Ahhaha, Messi" "Oh!" :o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p50g7kV3o1o

    N'golo Kante seems like the defensive version of Messi. A lovely player ! :D So smooth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhLrbeTQzNQ

    Lionel Messi - v7

    To be honest, the Ballon d'Or 2021 should be given to N'golo Kante. He is a great player that deserves it, no doubt. As for Leo, he doesn't need that individual award anyway. What he needs more than anything is the CopaAmerica with Argentina. It can be more valuable than 3 Ballon D'or combined...

    Gini Wijnaldum

    Overall, I am happy with Wijnaldum coming to Barcelona. I think it's useful for any team to have a physical player, a runner; like Ngolo Kante for example in chelsea. Wijnaldum has a similar profile than Vidal and Paulinho. But I think he is better than them in two areas : 1/ He is faster than...

    Gini Wijnaldum

    Gini Wijnaldum (Holland); Age: 30.5 actually. ; Position: Box-to-Box player. The (+): - The Availability, reliability: He disputed a huuuge number of games in Liverpool, under Klopp. Rarely absent. - His very good physical abilities: good stamina, movement, and pace: He is a "workhorse". This...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    If you ask me, both Barca and PSG don't have a good defence. But PSG at least has a stronger attack. And also has a goalkeeper who is often impressive in CL knockout games (either with Madrid or with Paris).

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Actually, this team needs a leader for the defence, before talking about a striker. We know Araujo, Mingueza are very unexperienced actually. Lenglet and Umtiti have no place in the squad. Pique, I don't trust him now; he is finished for the highest level and very slow. We need a new leader for...
