Does it add anything to anything to call a user troll in a one-liner or even a one-worder? Report my posts and try to ban me, if my thoughts are so out of place here! Or just ignore them.
I try to argue my genuine thoughts the best I can in my posts, and I am fine to face ridicule if they look retarded to you, but this is just very boring.

In other words, the similarities I see to Deco: his tendency to use the outside of the foot, the way he draws a defender in to then flick the ball into the space to run into (mainly this he does exactly the same way as Deco), the way he "takes space" quickly with the ball on his feet to often end up finding one-twos, then there's something with his posture... I think he has about the same mentality and vision - to control everything when the team has the ball, he looks around to scan the same way Deco used to do and positions himself off the ball similarly, but still he will often try to be the spark to create something when he gets the ball, like Deco, and he isn't afraid to play very speculatively a lot of times. His shooting technique looks a bit similar as well, shooting from far forward down on his toes. In defence he has the same eagerness as Deco to win the ball back quickly. He is at the same time a typical la masia-player and very non-typical - he is a bit more decisive than most players from there, looking to tackle or to score rather than to cover and keep possession, but at the same time he has all the qualities we associate with the homegrown Barcelona player.

You're the only retarded one in this case, as I didn't say (or sau) that Puig was "way better" or "better" or anything of the kind. I said he was a bit of an upgraded Deco, and what I meant with that was mostly that he plays more intensely than Deco did, which I also did write.

There was an incredible Deco game vs England in Euro 2004 I recall. The one that went to penalties.

I couldn't imagine Puig putting a performance like that over 120mins.

I see more similarities between Deco and Maradona than between Deco and Riki.

https://youtu.be/scQ3a8OEGG0

I don't. But thanks for the nice video "Deco makes you fall in love with football"

The very first move in that video is exactly what Riqui does in the same situation, then there is also the same little flick with the outside of the foot towards the left flank, as well as some of the runs being Riqui-like just as I described.
Riqui isn't brazilian, so sombrero flicks isn't something I saw him do, neither does he use his heel or his studs as much, there are of course differences as well

Here is a sombrero though! https://youtu.be/kaCxXOnrHWc?t=637

To you who followed him in Barcelona B or earlier; was his style very different there compared to in Barcelona A?

"Upgraded" mostly means "better". I recommend that you remove your wording of "upgraded Deco"
