It's obvious why he is licking Valverde's arse constantly. He is in his comfort zone. Being overplayed and pictured as some kind of undroppable crucial player almost on Leo's level in that regard. I bet he is petrified by the thought of De Jong's arrival without Ernie being here.
Let's not go overboard. He's not some egoistical idiot and he actually did sacrifice himself for the team playing in a more defensive role than his natural.
But yes, he is not Barca standard anymore. In 2015, yes, he was hungry and eager to prove himself so it was different.
Partying it up in Seville not even a full 24 hours after.
Lmao.
