I remember in UCL final vs Utd 2009, Messi dribbled from half way line then Carrick, Rooney and Vidic pressed and pushed him, he still kept the ball and didn't lose balance at all. Or like this goal. Lewa (and most players) would likely fall down Rooney was a force of natural in his prime.

EV is a good coach. Setien is average one. Current Xavi is not much different than EV. EV's ball actually was better than Xavi's ball.

Bbz is right though. When a young player starts first few games, he will have surprised factor. Opponent won't know about him first and they can be shocked. But after he plays games after games, that surprised factor is gone and opponent will manage to contain him. The same will happen to...

Pep is probably the only elite coach that will say no. Other coaches, Klopp for example (if he leaves Liverpool), would like to coach Barca. Of course club must back him like current Xavi.

Serghei made a good point here though. Similiar to Bbz's point when he explained why youth talents can find spot in current Barca.

I would say plenty good coaches will like to take Barca's job.

Is he going to win Pichichi or something

That was against Koeman's Barca in 2021/22 season.

You seem to be quite exicted with Felix in the team.

On paper, yes. But the fact in 4 years since Benfica days, he has been a mediocre player and not any sign of improvement. Of course he can revive his career with Barca but fans have reasons to doubt him.

Scene that two Joaos destroy Barca's dressing room.

Probably will be new fan's punching bag

Injuries indeed cut short his career. But R9 also didn't take care of himself and couldn't control his weights. Still the most transcendent striker in history. A fat R9 can do this Or when he was over 100kg

To be fair Lewa is 34 so people should know that his physical, movements are getting worse and worse. Problem is he is still the only striker. And you have to live with it.

Btw, R9 is the best striker but to be fair, his achivements are not enough for his talent. He only won just 1 league tittle in his Europe career. No UCL. But it is his football and his Brazil NT career that made him the best. Similiar to Maradona (no UCL and only 2 league tittles).

Why staff members still let so much trolls/clones in this forum???

Club have history helping players improve their physical. Neymar, for example, if you looked at him in his first season (13/14), then in his following seasons (14/15-16/17), he was thicker, his balance was better too. Though it may depend on player's genetics, ages. I expect Pedri reach his...

Yeah. His frame is still skinny, though it is thicker if you compare to Pedri 2 or 3 years ago. Messi's physique should be his target.

He looks thicker imo. Also his weight is increased. In his first season, it was 60kg. This season it is 67kg by report. Obviously after this injury, club must see what went wrong with Pedri's body and find the solution.

It was reported when Pedri first arrived that both club and Pedri worked together to improve his physicality. I think the plan is making Pedri stronger physically, improve his balance to play at highest level. Avoiding injuries also. But we have to consider that his body might change forever...
