20 - Dani Olmo

[Co0ter]

Had a great game.

Still don't like him to be the solution at LW.

That's because he's not a LW, and we should stop acquiring players to play positions that they don't actually play.

Crazy concept, right? 😚

 

[fergus90]

He’s had quite a few top games in the last couple years.

 

[te amo barca]

I’m sorry for slandering him. I was not familiar with his game

 

[Barcaman]

Happy for my ex Dinamo Zagreb boy.

Only got to play because Pedri got injured and ended up man of the match.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

I always diss him, but he always ends up playing well. Maybe changing my idea of him. Seems to show up in important moments. Not a bad player, but please don't sign him..

 

[Porque]

Olmo is still not the priority despite Pedri not being trusted injury wise and Gavi not to be counted on next season. There is still Gundagon (who should arguably be ahead of Pedri in the hole, and Fermin.

But those two double pivots, who seem to have been forgotten about with all the focus on Nico, looks very very light in both quality and depth.

 

[Givenchy]

I can see Olmo ending up at City and doing well

 

[Andresito]

Also scored a hattrick against Bayern in the Supercup like a year ago. He has his moments for sure.

 

[Maradona37]

Like I have said before - and maybe I just get him on good days - but he always looks class when I watch him. Great movement, high football IQ, cute touches and good finisher. That touch to bamboozle Tchouameni is something that a lot of players won't think about - most players shoot on their weak foot there and it's blocked or goes high and wide. It opened up the whole goal for him and creating a great goalscoring chance, which he took.

But I don't watch Leipzig much so maybe he is worse when I don't watch him. I like him though - he's far less hyped than someone like Leao but easily a better and more intelligent and impactful player, imo.

Pedri's injury is actually a bless for Spain. Olmo is a clear upgrade for that 10 role.

 

[fergus90]

Sent Tchouameni for a hot dog.

 

[Barcaman]

Happy for him. Had to go through hard road to succeed. Still held in high regard both as player and person here in Zagreb.

 

[jamrock]

Xavi may have been on to something.

 

[Devils]

Great player.

Would be huge to have him in attack over dowski.

 

[Porque]

Really stepped up when needed, considering how poor he was in the first two games.

I think Spain still reach the final with Pedri though. But Olmo has had a great intensity and leadership for the attack. Impressed.
