I'm not convinced he's a false anything anymore. There are far too many things he's consistently garbage at. He's just a symbol of what a talented street player raised in a poor French minority area can become at top level. Mentally he's like that slightly challenged friend at school that is good at a few things and somehow seems endearing to everyone involved. But I guess he has finally learned one or two things about poaching.
He's the guy madridistas have every reason to dislike, but there's something that makes him crucial to how we perform and it's not as simple as the mythical space-creating-off-the-ball-movement stuff. Bizarre.
