Nah not pressing is an issue that impacts team,
But when he offers no threat at all against a high line like that as cant run in behind.. or offers no hold up play either to help team up the park.
The fact he cant do any of those things is evident again and paying far far too much for a 37 yr old on books for that.
All while let go of a player for same fee and less wages who is younger and goes on to win balon dor and CL.
He is redundant unless getting ball into box and limits how BArca can play and provides options for top teams how to play against Barca.
150m gone for 4 seasons of it and nothing at end.
Abysmal planning.
Could literally have kept Dembele, Auba and LDJ for that and had a stronger squad and still money left over and a player in Dembele with value 4 years on.
