Arthur

[BBZ8800]

Our ideology should be a mix of physical fast players, with players more on the technical side. Nobody likes teams who are slow and weak, bullied in CL by everyone. It's been a misconception on your part that this is something some of us like.

I don't know a name of that documentary.

In the last scene, I guess that a guy was a director of a movie or something.

He was laughing at people who want physique and called them idiots.

In a movie, they said that kids in La masia youth categories are picked due to technique and not due to physique.

Also, a movie said how La Masia teaches kids to be nice, not to fight, not to argue and similar.
Again, that is nice.
... if you are raising kids to sing in a church choir.
If you are trying to raise those kids to be strong and to survive matches against bullies in England, that won't end well.

Imo, a problem is that a lot of people (not you) think that technique, our system and choir boys are a good combination because it worked in 2010.
That combination was flawed even then.
But Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Alves, Busi, Pep saved our asses.

When you remove those Goats, you get a flawed system and players who will always get bullied and overrun by big teams.

And a portion of fans will (not you but a director of that movie) will always ask to go back to our roots: technique and choir boys.

That way:
We will win a World cup trophy in singing.
And zero trophies in football.

BBZ having a field day

Theres literally no way you can conclude anything from our recent performances. Noone (!!!) wants us to play with a Griezmann-Vidal-Messi frontline. We would look terrible with any midfield behind them (and heck we dominated the first 50 minutes).

 

[YodaMaster]

So BBZ out here hating on a technique-based midfield, writting novels about how it won’t work in CL KO stages.

Just FYI mate: last year we got our ass beat in CL with a Rakitic-Vidal midfield. So what’s your point exactly ? Lol.

We never lost a CL KO game with Arthur yet. At least wait for that to happen first before hating and writting nonsense.

Arthur performed better last night than FDJ, Rakitic and Vidal, who are all 3 supposed to be physical beasts compared to him, according to
And that despite the fact that it’s obvious that Arthur isn’t back to his best form yet after his injury issues.

You’re pathetic, as per usual. But have a good night, cheers.

I usually don't agree with you... that time period was such a circle jerk of huge proportions. The thing I hate about the physicality v technique argument. Like it's sports. Sports in general are physical. All the GOATS had some degree of both. If you're referring to attackers. Sure football may require proficiency in mental and technique but it's not to say you shouldn't do away with one or another in order to advance. You need to be great in all three.

That's not to argue with the development philosophy of Barca. technique is king because it's a technical team. But if you want decent players to compete then you get the technical skilled but you make sure they're strong, fast, agile before they get to the 2nd and 1st teams.

 

[MTL_Barca]

Having superior physique (in the sense of muscles, height) compared to other kids might make you stand out on youth level but once you play vs adults that edge often disappears. It's also hard to judge because kids simply grow at different rates.

So picking young players based on technical abilities makes a lot of sense because that's not something that can easily be learned or fixes itself by growing. That also doesn't automatically translate into only having weak, slow, low stamina players it just means there is a focus on technical abilities and a certain standard all players are measured by.

 

[Rory]

He was the only midfielder to make any sort of attacking thing happen. Through ball for Vidal in the first half just for griezmann to fuck up the lay off and pass it to messi instead of taking it on himself. Also of course his own chance which required a good save, he was strong enough to hold off Kroos who is 6ft. The team is incredibly unbalanced there's no one person you can point the finger at it's the collection of players that don't belong together.

 

[LeeRomeno]

He really seems to have very low stamina or then he just always looks so tired. Think it was something like 20 mins in and camera showed his face after some faster attack and he looked like he had played for 2 hours straight, completely breathless. Not bad game, but he just does not seem to be able to run for full game.

He was always tracking back at full speed though. Even if he looks tired he's still got gas in him. He rarely cheats in defence, even if he has workhorses like Vidal and Frenkie next to him.

Exactly. He puts in crazy effort.

Yea, not questioning that, just saying his posture and facial expressions give image that he is out of gas immediately after starting running. May not be the case, but this may very well add up to his image of not being that fit physically. Compare him to for example to likes of Alba, who hardly ever even break a sweat, although they run all the time.
