Marco Verratti

[tacticvarium]

This cat could be all time great midfielder if he leaves France and joins Barca/RM/City...

Never seen any midfielder can tackle like him. Like Nesta in midfield

Not even close.
You should watch more past players

 

[Morten]

Besides the Euros, his career is basically a failure.

 

[FCMessi]

GOAT

2 goals

Rich man's Arthur

 

[vuji_31]

Absymal.

Plays 4 games per year and does shit like this.

 

[fergus90]

Kimmich levels above him.

 

[Porque]

Hilariously bad until you realise Verratti is actually Gavi who come in a time machine from 12 years in the future.

Rich man's Arthur

OK this is too much

 

[M3ls]

Kimmich levels above him.

Kimmich was not pressed like Verrati. Marco is one of the best players under pressure. Certainly better than Kimmich in this component. But Kimmich felt calm, because PSG had no pressure in the first line because Leo and Mbappe ...

 

[Andresito]

Always said he'll be forgotten as soon as he retires.

That said, he needs to be surrounded with proper offensive CM's if that midifield is supposed to function. Think it was last year he played as a 10 in a 4-2-3-1 because they lacked a creative mid.
A guy who scores less goals than Busquets and Kante is expected to be a threat?

 

[soul24rage]

This guy has great balance, ball control and agile.

What he lacks is scanning the entire environment so that he makes the right decision

 

[Rory]

A midfielder for a different time period. Can't have a centre mid that severely lacks a physical profile unless you're of the class of Xavi, Iniesta, Pirlo.

Lol nah not Pirlo, he nothing

 

[fergus90]

He was having so many touches without doing anything with the ball and lacked complete awareness of options around him. He is fantastic at escaping pressure but you need more than that from a midfielder.

I mean Kimmich's horse lungs are one of the main reasons why Verratti was pressed so much yesterday. The 1-0 was also not the first time Verratti is giving away balls while trying to dribble in his own box. He overcomplicates simple things and needlessly instigates these situations himself, even if he is often lucky and skilled enough to escape them, 1 error here and it costs a whole tournament and now that happened.
