23 - Jules Kounde

[Barcaman]

Koundé: "I'd rather win 1-0 than 5-4."

 

[Gnidrologist]

More like: "I'd rather smear my bulky tits with chocolate ice-cream but.. hey, football can be fun too"

 

[Horatio]

Great game. Maintain this level at least pls

He's been at this level the entire seasons.

Players aren't allowed to have off games.

Anti-Cruyff needs to be sent packing

With every post about this you are just showing that you didn't touch a ball in your life. I have nothing against you but you are embarassing yourself with this debate. Everyone who at least once played amateur football while tired knows exactly what we are talking about. This are not opinions, it's facts.

I have been playing amateur football and my touch doesn't change with fatigue. It is what it is.
Everything else like alertness, reading of the game, decision making, stamina, runs can change

Either you have a good or a bad touch, or grades in between. Technique does not change.

Have you ever seen this clip?
No, Neymar hadn't slept better the previous night than the rest to do this, nor he was super concentrated.
It's that the ball is part of his body MUCH MORE than all the rest, that's why it is glued on his foot.
And you can see the different degrees to which this is or isn't the case for the rest

I can find tons of others clips with Ronaldinho, Messi, Maradona etc.
And there is no point to object that these are freaks. I am using purposefully these extreme cases as prime counter-examples your claim that technique is dependable on any kind of fatigue

Technique is very dependable on fatigue.
Not just in football, but in all sports. There were times when top talent footballers in the dying minutes of the game misplaced passes, overpower them when usually they would deliver them inch perfect. Same with first touch, use more or less energy then they usually do because the mind decieve you.

Birdy mon ami I think you’re wrong on this one. Once body gets tired the legs become heavy. The control of making contact with ball worsens.

Sorry but I don’t get how technique freaks, who aren’t representative of the general pro, are “prime counter examples”? Seems like an Odd type of Logic to me. Kounde isn’t comparable to Neymar imo

Also not how the scenario in the video, is a useful comparison for an in-game scenario, As they’re all chilling.

 

[Don Juan Laporta Estruch]

At the start of the game I have the first touch of Dennis Bergkamp.

At the end of the game I have the first touch of Harvey Weinstein.

Can't put my finger on why.

 

[TacticsTim]

Total garbage yet again is it so hard to ask for good fullbacks this summer

Kounde in a nutshell defensively:

 

[MonteCuler]

Kounde overall in a nutshell

Offensively he can be great too. Against Betis he was moving like Alves. Then that assist in Supercopa.

But as great as he can be he can mess it up as well

 

[xXKonan]

According to Sport we reached an agreement to extend his contract until 2030.
