Watched the highlights and I must say that he uses “pausa” way too much. It’s good in some situations but against deep blocks you need to release the ball quicker, preferably one time passes.
Lol, why do you think we're bashing our heads in the walls on this forum? The system of don Valverde doesn't allow us quick passing build-up due to no movement in midfield and forward line. We need to release the ball quicker and I agree, but for that you need smart movement, and this is the chapter that Ernie's Barcelona is downright terrible at.
The passer has to constantly dwell on the ball because there's no one free 90% of the time. Hence the often 'pausas' and the many non-constructive side and backwards passes.
Agree with the fact that the coach isn’t helping but Arthur has the same problems for Brazil and the games I watched with him in Gremio. It’s a little better now but still overdo the pausa.
It seens that Gremio already has the "new Arthur" Matheus Henrique whom is 20 years old. He is still a sub, but has talent.
