How many players would have let that ball bounce and the moment would be gone. He knew by hitting that overhead kick it would keep the vibe alive and it did. Extremely smart player with that split second untuition what you need

You see what happens when a rb just play the ball on the right time. One touch to control and then play. The midfielders are getting much more time because of that. No flicks with too hard or too soft balls. Just simple and very good. When its really needed you see a fantastic cross what he also...

You?re right. 95% of those players can do a lot of things good on the different position because the coach analysed them and otherwise they would never made the switch. Unfortunately on that moment supreme where the details are decided on your talent for that position or instinct what goes along...

Just what I was afraid of when i saw Frenkie his strengths and weaknesses as a Dutchmen at Ajax I keep saying it. His problem is to feel the rhythms of attacks. Some how some way he doesnt have that split second intuition to keep a flowing attack alive or decides it. He will play slowly with...

He has great qualities in beating opponents on strenght and still flexible. If he plays like he has the last 2 matches he will bench Frenkie soon. Because he can also turn but gives the last pass way sooner

I was impressed with this guy. His positioning is very good and he has that vision of seeing where the ball will fall. He?s not big or fast so his whole career is based on viewing the game and he studied good. His passing is always in the right moment so the midfielders or attackers have more...

That relentless trying will always stay in him unless he makes a crazy u turn. I have never seen him different even after crazy critics. He?s a very unpredictable player and his teammates will be irritated sometimes because he can shoot 3 times in a row from impossible angles. He will stay a...

I know Depay since his first PSV days as a Dutch guy. He?s a player that can play a 9 but also a 4. His downfalls can be extremely low but in form he gives passes that you scratch your head. IMO he?s to bulked up. I heared they told him at PSV that it was important for him to quit the gym. In...

Although I think he?s a good player and deserves more minutes , I cant bite the fact that he looks real sneaky to me. I can see why Koeman could be on odds with him. For instance that handshake for Mingueza after the substitution and quickly looks at the ground after doing it as if nobody should...

Yess in 3-5-2 he?s good at it but for his own future it?s not good because in a 4-3-3 he?s not a cb. Still most clubs play 4-3-3

In the first half you could see again that he waste so much chances to create danger. Like the 1-2?s with Sergi Roberto but he chooses to turn back. Danger gone. His pre scanning was horrible the first half. Still has difficulties when being closed down by more players to think outside the box...

You?re absolutely right about Pedro. He had the awareness to know when it had to be a one touch, where to walk, to create space and to keep the attack flowing. Also was good to play himself out of tight situations but always in a teams perspective. Not overdoing things. They were like a...

You name Cruyff and indeed he was totally different then the typical Dutch football thinker. Believe it or not, when he was analyzing those perfect details on television most Dutch people were actually laughing at the way he formulated it instead of learning from the master. The hype around...

At first, I like the way you put an example on Pep with Foden, Kimmich. You?re right about that. Pep is a maestro at reading those things and it?s no wonder why almost all players become much better under him. On the Frenkie question I will answer it from mine opinion and that off course...

Youre 100% right. I can give a little history why he doesn?t posses all those things. In holland people were waiting years and years for a new superstar to emerge since Sneijder, Ronben generation. So when he came and was so good with his dribbles at press resistance the media got crazy. He...

Frenkie have to make a step in order to be worldclass. I?ve known him since Ajax youth because I?m Dutch. If I compare him to let?s say Modric then the difference is there. The Croatian has 5/6 options in his head to make the forward plays and chooses the best. Frenkie is limited in his...

Honestly I think he played very good against Getafe. His choices of passing are better than Pique. He plays in midfielder way faster. Pique always hesitates and ends up with a cross. Normally defensively he doesn?t look confident but I see a little grow. He has potential but must act more like a men

Frenkie his eyes aren?t fast enough to see the option that could let to a chance. He also doesn?t feel the rhythm of a attack. He likes to let the team get used to his rhythm but Barca is no Ajax. Here they want you to play fast and in some sort of flow where everybody is already moving ahead to...

If you look at Thiago and Frenkie you see why he isn?t the top midfielder yet. Off course Thiago had more movement in front of him but he creates those opportunities with quick play and out of the box vision. Frenkie takes way to much time to decide. He puts the ball under his feet, turns...

What i like the most about him is that he keeps the tempo high at all costs. Even when he has 2 or 3 touches it stays in line with the rhythm of the attack. He also has the vision and football brains to know who to pick in a pass. He choose logical options and only does something special when...
