Half of fans who watched him in Croatia, me included, from the first day said that he has a weak physique, low IQ, diva issues, professionalism issues.
And that he is a one trick pony more or less.

But he glided with the ball the same as Messi (similar to how Arthur's moves visually resembled on Xavi).
And we got two Wallmart versions of Messi and Xavi.

Yet RM won 5 CLs since then.
Do you know why?
Because they don't live in the past and sweet dreams.
They are not looking for the carbon copy of Zidane, Figo, Modric, Kroos or Cr7.
They just buy the next big thing and their tactics evolve and go with the flow based what is efficient in certain eras.

Yet we are always stuck with the same type of players for 15-20 years.

Let me guess: that's who we are, that's what made us famous?

Well, that is what made us famous in the first place but also what killed us in the end since we didn't evolve like the rest of the football world.

Alba was crying in the locker room.
Samper refused to play for a B team in play off matches because the pressure was too high and he couldn't stand a thought of his beloved team losing.
Bartra was afraid to play vs Bayern when someone got injured.
Andre Gomes couldn't cope under pressure.
Ferran Torres is following his footsteps.

But you can see a clear pattern.
Fc Barcelona lately: only technical skills
The shortest top team around
The weakest gym training regimes around
Zero leaders since Puyol and Masch
The highest amount of scared players and mental breakdowns

It is quite clear what are our scouts mostly looking for when scouting players: technique and whether they could fit into the exact system which worked in 2009'


Chill lil bro our team is more physical than real Madrid and city today

EPL outside City and current Ars is all about much running and puffing, not creativity. Fun to watch sometimes, no doubt.

There is no way you have even seen Arsenal play this season !!


They let the ball do all the work and are playing the best football around .. each week
