21 - Frenkie de Jong

[-_- RandomUser -_-]

He's right anyway, people give too much credit to this competition. That being said, I hope Yamal destroys the Portuguese tonight.

Even taking that fake quote at face value, he's right, because there's at least two other of his team mates, who can easily be Bdoers.

Media circus for people who read just titles.

Lamine:

For me, it's the best player across the whole year, but everyone sees it their own way. I am confident we will win Thursday, but whether we win or not, I would vote for the best player over the whole year.

And then journalists ask Frenkie the same question. And he gives the same answer. I need a third opinion, someone like Rafael van der Vaart.

You can't compare anyone with Messi. The Getafe goal he scored in 2007... I mean come on... it's probably the best goal of the last 20 years to this day. I like Lamine, but Messi had a kind of explosion that is very very hard to see being matched.

Typo by you but aye, it was sensational. You can argue his goal against Athletic was even better - more of a zig zagging one coming inside the pitch a lot than coming in a little then going straight line to goal. It's still very difficult to fathom how Messi scored that goal from the position he received the ball in.

 

[serghei]

No. For me Getafe goal is still the best by far. People don't know but Getafe beat us 4-0 in the return leg. It was not a shitty defensive side.

 

[Maradona37]

No. For me Getafe goal is still the best by far.

Fair play. Think they are probably his two best goals. For importance allied to quality, I would say the CL semi goal against Real Madrid. Probably missing a few.

 

[serghei]

I would say, Getafe, Madrid, Bilbao, Zaragoza out of his solo runs goals.

No. For me Getafe goal is still the best by far. People don't know but Getafe beat us 4-0 in the return leg. It was not a shitty defensive side.

To this day, after looking at that result, I ask why

 

[Maradona37]

I would say, Getafe, Madrid, Bilbao, Zaragoza out of his solo runs goals.

Then there's the sheer amount of goals he scores just by beating one man or two in a small space, like Boateng. And his runs that lead to goals for other players, like the Gvardiol humiliation. He has the highest degree of difficulty ever in his goal and assist stats, probably along with Maradona.

This guy is a freak of nature. An alien of a footballer.

Getafe was a good team back then. If you look at Messi's goal, it was proper defending outmached by pure explosion and talent. He had attention and tight marking since the halfway mark.

 

[serghei]

If you look at the Madrid goal by comparison in CL semis, much worse focus by Madrid. Barely had to make any complicated dribling, probably just one inpresive pass, not 3 in a row. Probably tired legs and deflated opponent after 10 men and behind in the tie at that point. On pure ability to beat markers, Getafe goal is still no1.

What’s up with this plonker? Has he renewed yet?

Waiting up for Deco to return from his vacation?
