Qué es esta mierda de verdad

Paulo Maldini on Gerard Martin's season and Spain selection: “Watching Gerard Martín this season has been one of the biggest surprises in European football for me. At Barcelona, it is never easy for young defenders because the pressure is enormous, every mistake is analysed, every performance is questioned. But he has shown personality, intelligence and maturity beyond his age.” “People talk a lot about talent, but for a defender the most important thing is mentality. Gerard Martín plays with courage. He reads danger early, he stays calm under pressure and he understands positional football at a very high level already.” “For me, after the season he has had with Barcelona, he absolutely deserves to go to the World Cup with Spain. Not only to go, but honestly, to START. Sometimes national teams rely too much on reputation instead of current performances, and Gerard has earned his place with consistency.” “I look at some of Spain’s current centre-backs and I genuinely believe Gerard Martín deserves to be ahead of them right now because he is performing every week at the highest level, against top opposition, under pressure, in important matches.” “And when you combine him with Pau Cubarsí, you can already see the beginning of something special for Spain. Their understanding, composure on the ball and tactical intelligence remind me of the great defensive partnerships built on chemistry rather than only physicality.” “The modern game is about defenders who can think quickly, play under pressure and control matches with the ball. Cubarsí and Gerard Martín have that naturally. They complement each other perfectly.” “If Spain are serious about building the future, then those two should be the foundation of the defence for many years. Honestly, I believe their partnership could be one of the reasons Spain compete to win the next World Cup.” “Barcelona may have discovered another defensive leader for the next decade, and Spain should take advantage of that immediately.”
