@PaRaLlEx99 He is the “bullet” in a well crafted gun for PSG France has many bullets It’s why the Ballondor should always go to “trigger” players not “Bullets” Eto was the Bullet for 2005 Barcelona Ronaldinho was the trigger Make of that what you will

@teror_litletrey @Xcellent70 We are in 2026 The last time i saw a madrid trophy celebration was 2024 Thats 2 years

@matchObserver_ @Xcellent70 When is this recent ure talking about Because last 2 season Madrid won champions league,Laliga,club WC and supper cup Recently is since when exactly

🚨: Breaking There’s been a major flood in spain due to the HERE WE GO for BERNARDO SILVA to Real Madrid, so the govt of Spain is urging everyone to be careful

Best attack but with a cut through in thesame positions If you play them avoid sending the ball to your fall backs and play through their middle They do not have a 9, all their best players will be running at you from the wings Its why Argentina played Di maria LW in that final If they played the ball to messi and he loses it without tracking back, it would be a goal opportunity for mbappe So they sacrificed messi out of the game and kept sending the ball straight to Di maria wing, thats why Mbappe was silent for much of the game till Di maria left Remember mbappe second goal was from a messi possession lost also Thats what they tried to avoid for 90mins

@matchObserver_ France has the best attack, by a distance. But people will see they are not that good as a team. The Senegal game should be an eye opener.

Two very balanced midfields, but it depends heavily on the style of play. Portugal → 2 DMs and 1 AM. Spain → 1 DM and 2 CMs. Personally, I think the 1 DM + 2 CMs setup is the best midfield balance in football tho.

@LaNRaY_SHeeRan Bernado likely ends us RW or CM If they do that, they'd be great in possession Out of possession am not sure how that works honestly

@matchObserver_ But we need a cm that stays in his position

It funny I just found out Bernardo Silva is a center midfielder from comments . You mean this Bernardo Silva is Here to give us control in midfield? Which Bernardo did I watch at city please. Cos I never saw him in midfield

Well thats Perez job, am speaking as an observer Perez is in his last legs and the election results showed socios are not totally happy So he is trying to buy players that will trigger excitement in the fanbase am not sure they have structured the squad planning and formation yet

@thee_ovie Yeah in tournaments The most important thing is when your attackers are shoot blanks your midfielders should keep the score flat or your defenders Thats my issue with the France squad If the attack has a bad game, France would be ran through

@matchObserver_ They played a midfield 3 of Busquets, Alonso and Xavi that had Iniesta playing left wing. Premium ball retention 😂

@teror_litletrey @Xcellent70 Not necessarily speaking as a Barca fan But in football only recent achievements matters at times And the recent cabinet at madrid as not been a good sight to behold

@matchObserver_ @Xcellent70 Wait u want to banter Madrid with trophy?😂 Which trophy did you have over Madrid?

@Mutsaa_ Certain conversations are only left for those that label themselves "GREATEST" or "BEST" of if their fans call them that No one cares if Doue or Kvara has a bad game But Lamine would be massively trolled If you pray for rain you have to deal with the mud too

Why haven't I seen y'all talking about how South Korea started scoring after Son was subbed off or the agenda is only for Ronaldo??

@YashRMFC This is actually a great line up, Silva can be a make shift RW during the game Tchoumeni and Valverde provide defensive cover in DM Jude plays in 10 On paper it looks good The players actually converting this in reality is a whole different matter, especially out of possession

Europe ain't ready 3.0

@thee_ovie Its Spain heritage, in 2010, they had Xavi Iniesta, Busquests, Alonso Fabregas David Silva Cazorla Mata They went to the world cup with 10 midfielders and 5 attackers They score 1 and these guys keep the ball till the match ends

@matchObserver_ Insane midfield depth mehn..

@ClinchRMCF Portugal vs Argentina Is like Barcelona vs Atletico in the UCL knockouts Only this time Atletico has Messi up front to feed Alvarez I wont say more than this

This on 19th July ❤️🇵🇹

@thee_ovie I follow back Chief

Spain’s midfield has had only a handful of bad games, it’s rare to see them struggle. The last one I can remember was the UNL final last vs Portugal summer.. it wasn’t that they were completely outplayed, but they did struggle to dominate midfield. For me, they have the most balanced midfield, and the depth is impressive too.

@mfc_mrpage Nah Isco is more Barca coded

Bernardo Silva would be the most Barcelona-coded player ever to play for Real Madrid.

The difference is adaptability. Portugal's midfielders are excellent at what they do. Spain's midfielders can become different players depending on the game. Rodri and Fabián can control, compete physically, progress play and threaten goal in the same match That's why when Spain have a bad game, they usually survive it and it goes to a penalty shootout And surviving bad games is how you win tournaments.

Portugal midfield 🇵🇹 vs Spain midfield 🇪🇸 Which one is more balanced and better?

Its not about someone telling anyone how to play There is a reason Eto was scoring the goals but Ronaldinho was winning the awards and getting the plaudits in 2005 Barcelona The heart knows what it wants to see when it buys a match ticket You wont be honest if you classify Dinho and Eto as thesame players or say Eto is the better footballer because of "style"

I am not even concerned about who is better between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi I have always said they are not above each other. They are the same Football is dynamic, wide and cannot be boxed into one corner There is a background and foundation to players or managers arriving at their style But when someone comes out to say if you don't play this way or this style, you are not good. I just see them as not understanding what football is

Figo never forced his move His release clause was triggered Its the same reason Enrique isnt loved by madrid fans He was a madrid player, he ran down his contract and left on a free to Barcelona in the 90s The club was ok with it, but the club he went to was what made them unhappy

@matchObserver_ @cityzenken_ It’s a different case my brother, Am a Madrid and a United fan but let me tell you this Figo had a contract with Barcelona and forced his move to the biggest rival of Barca which is Real Madrid but bro Silva respected his contract till it ended and your mid club never renewed

Thierry Henry left Arsenal for Barcelona- still an Arsenal legend. Cristiano Ronaldo left United for Real Madrid- still a United legend. Frank Lampard left Chelsea for Man City- still a Chelsea legend. Messi left Barcelona for PSG- still a Barcelona legend. But Bernardo Silva leaves us for Real Madrid and suddenly he's not our legend? Wow!

@emmy_naira001 @cityzenken_ Ofcus he can be happy But he shouldnt expect some of the fans to be happy with him it doesnt mean he cant be happy

@matchObserver_ @cityzenken_ So bro can’t be happy because he wants to please Man city retards
