Matthijs de Ligt

what??? ofc players choose based on who is coaching or not, if you can be traininig by the best and play a good attacking football why would you be coached by a farmer and play stone age football, thats is the reason why everyone wants to be coached by guardiola or klopp and why they can attract every name in the market, i guarantee you between liverpool and barcelona the coach is a decisive factor

Based on your assumption surely, as a defender, De Ligt would want to play in a more defensive, negative side so that he can look better in a team that concedes few and makes his job easier? I think your just angrily lashing out because they've confirmed EV.

The day that Johan Cruyff blessed Ernesto Valverde: "His work is more than excellent. If you watch Espanyol play it's good to watch I'm very happy there are people like him and Rijkaard who are trying to play in a way people can enjoy."
"When he was a player he was very intelligent and he always showed me his interest in football and learning. He's one of the most outstanding and promising coaches in Spanish football."

Yeah Valverde was known for playing beautiful football before coming to Barcelona. Let's be honest the current squad isn't suited to tiki taka or intense pressing

That's fine and all but in the end he was just not up to it. Do you really think he would honestly like what we served this year under Valverde? Like hell would he aprove of the lack of midfield solidity and chaos all over the pitch that we showed throughout the season.

He will go to Liverpool or Juve. No way Raiola will cut a deal with us.

I understand that yall are scared to miss out on the worlds best defending talent and currently arguably already a top 5 defender, but he will shine in Barca's shirt next season. No worries.

For anyone who mentions Konate and Upamecano; those fella's aren't much of an improvement over Lenglet. Wouldn't even need them to be honest.

Exactly. Of course we are afraid we would miss him. He is a huge talent.

a) Players choose based on who is coaching. -> Where is your proof?

b) Everyone wants to be coached by Klopp or Pep. -> You mean, Messi? Ronaldo? Neymar? Mbappe? De Jong? Griezman? Mo Salah will leave Liverpool & Klopp the first chance he gets.

c) Between Liverpool & Barcelona, MONEYis the decisive factor. Anyone with a brain can guarantee you that.

He is the player I would love to see here not just because he is a huge talent but this kid has some serious leadership capabilities. On the other side I don't give fuck about that clown Griezmann.

He’s attracted the interest of ManU now and apparently likes the idea of them rebuilding around him .. not a bad idea for us as well ..

United? where did you hear that. i thought it was between Barca, Juve and Liverpool. either way i don't see him wanting to play in the Europa league. I guess he and his agent are trying to put pressure on us, hopefully we do the smart thing and give him an ultamatum
