I got tired of Barca and Barca's style. But more like: of Pep's Barca and trying to chase Pep's Barca for a decade. I grew up under Van Gaal's and Rijkaard's Barca, so post-Pep's Barca was slightly too extreme for me possession/technical/dwelling on the ball wise. For example, for years, I had...

Doesn't look like a typical DM but plays surprisingly well for now.

Turned into Ronaldinho junior out of nowhere

I like this Catalan-German DNA Barca Approved

I don't know about his spell at Germany, but his stats at Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia) aren't that bad in spite of him scoring only 8 league goals per season. When you dig slightly deeper into his numbers, they look better. Here is why: 1. Croatian 1st league lately has an average of goals scored...

That sounds somewhat like a false 9 Messi from 15 years ago. Imo, those days are over. All of the best teams in the world currently have a good, old no. 9 like Haaland, Morata, Kane, paired with two young, mobile, technical wingers, paired with a killer AM in the centre as the 4th man around...

Whenever I watched Olmo, he elevated his teams. He was a God at Dinamo Zagreb, connecting the midfield and attack as a kid. He was one of key players for Spain. And he will elevate Barca's play. When he came, I was posting some stats from European leagues which show how majority of teams...

About Mbappe's pace, stats from all over Europe say that teams are using younger and younger wingers lately. Their prime is often in the age 18-24. After the age of 27, something like 90% of wingers nowadays see a huge drop in pace and performances. Stats say that wingers aged 27+ have less...

About Perisic, Croatian fans are really pissed at him. The story goes like this: his childhood club is Hajduk Split, the 2nd biggest Croatian club, mostly supported by the fans in the southern, Mediterranean part of Croatia. Meanwhile, the fans from north are usually fans of Dinamo Zagreb. The...

Tldr: Dinamo was bad for a decade in Champions league and Europa league, setting negative records like 0:6 defeats against everyone and similar. Then a generation with Olmo (and Orsic) came and Dinamo had a few awesome seasons in a CL and Europa league. Then Olmo left and Dinamo kinda returned...

I am a kid who grew up in the 90s, so I have a soft spot for CAMs, the same as how younger guys who started to watch football around Pep's and Messi's era will have a soft spot for 433 and two controlling midfielders. Coitinho was a flop, mentally weak, slow, needed lots of time to adapt. But...

Ok, I think that Nico and Yamal are slightly overrated here. Nico was totally hot and cold. In some matches, he was a machine. In others, he was like: is he playing today? Yamal, I won't get too much into complaining since people will get offended, but let's say that his consistency was meh...

I haven't wrote about Barca too much lately. But the same as Barcaman, I am happy for this transfer. As a Croatian, we watched him a lot for Dinamo, and Dinamo got way weaker once when Olmo left. Also, he managed to turn Spain, who weren't winners in the last decade, into winners. I see that...

In 9 out of 10 cases, these inconsistent pens are awarded for tier 1 teams. England, France, Germany. Then Spain, Italy etc. Netherlands is tier 3 of importance, like Belgium and Portugal.

A team where Dembele is the 2nd best player in a team is doomed to fail. France with Dembele. Germany with Denis Musiala Suarez and Havertz. Italy with no one. Spain is the only half decent team on the tournament. A very low quality tournament overal.

Lol, ref Tier 1 Germany vs Tier 2 Spain This was a clear free kick for Spain

Havertz and Musiala are horrible. Morata is better than them

Btw, since Germany from tier 1 is losing, we will probably see at least +6 minutes of injury time

I can't watch this German Denis Suarez anymore Horrible match

Haven't watched Bayern too much, but this Musiala kid lost like 22 balls today, playing as shit as Denis Suarez at Barca. Horrible display
