Barca pre-season 2019

[abbbs97]

Nah, can only play winger. It is what it is, he'll probably not make it here as a sure starter, but will be useful in his own way, like he was last season.

 

[Horatio]

De Jong is so quick on his feet with complete control over the ball every time. Amazing talent.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

De Jong has been great, just so calm and composed when he gets the ball.

World Class. He is unbelievable.

 

[BBZ8800]

I counted at least 3 very good chances. Griezmann, and Dembele two times.

That's all.
And Alena weak long range shot in the 40th minute.

We didn't see any dribbles, assists, shots or lurking around the edge of a box from any of three midfielders.

I am talking a lot lately about it.

This way, midfield is bringing the ball into the opponent's 3rd and then saying to our attackers: now fuck you. You 3 alone should now find a way to score.
We will watch you from far away.

Funny how Real needed a new Midfielder yet they missed the boat on De Jong who would be far more useful to them than Neymar.

Nightmare to press since he has complete control of the ball and can wrong foot you in an instant. Arthur is similar. With these two we should be riding the pressing of the other teams with much better results, and engage our forwards in space.

De Jong over Neymar and De Ligt any day. Cant believe we got him for 'only' 86m. He is the future.

Drooling. It's going to be insane to get the ball from our midfield.

True. So far he looks the bargain.

Arthur and De Jong are going to develop a great understanding between them while chatting on the bench during CL games, groaning at grannies Busi-Raki-Vidal failing to bring the ball out of defense.

I swear I have seen a guy in pink RM jersey on the stands in the middle of the FCB supporters. LOL

What Dembele can create and then shit up. Guy is so "ying&yang" ...

 

[JohnN]

Very sharp midfield.
De Jong is great. And someone had to say it.. Alena was great too.
Griezmann feels out if sync with alba and Suarez. He seems out of position generally.
Sergi is ok.
Semedo very good.
Messi missing badly.
Do we need this no.9 thought? I am conflicted..

Those need to improve I agree, but the main job has been done properly.

I am having a flashback to last season. Oh God.

Dembele is a Schrödinger cat. From now on I will call him Schrödinger's Dembele. You never know what his output is going to be in any given situation. Is it a loss of the ball, a misplaced pass, a fancy dribble, or a slicing through-ball? I think he has no clue. He plays purely instinctively. It is funny that Suarez is the exact same type of a player too, but he is always furious at Dembele's mishaps
