Mavericky Puig

[xXKonan]

I'm going to keep a balanced view on him.

It's good that he's taking his chance and doing good so far, but he also has stuff to work on with that ball at his feet and his physique as well. His height isn't really isn't that big of a deal, however, while I'm not some guy who prefers meatheads for players, the physique does matter to an extent though. No, he doesn't need to massively roid up, however, it wouldn't hurt for him to bulk up either.

He'll need it especially in the CL, where you will certainly face teams that are Physically strong and technical as well. Guys like Xavi and Messi etc aren't the biggest, fastest nor the tallest players but they had that right around Physique that they didn't get floored every time they went up against some physical opponents in the CL. Xavi also covered an insane amount of ground during his prime as well.

He posted his workout videos during the early phase of the epidemic and you can tell why he is not bulking up.
He does the exercises in the worst possible and least effective way and it even made me feel like he is doing his best to avoid any possible gains.
I'm certain there are many great professional trainers and physical therapists in the club but they should pay more attention to how Riqui is doing.

 

[vegitot]

Excellent first half.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

This guy understands Barca football and the way we play. We need more players like him. QUALITY.

He is always available, never hiding behind anyone (like Raki). Always looking to move the ball fast FORWARDS. That's what this team needs. Not hold on to the ball forever.

Ricardinho Puig is 30x the player that bum Arthur is.

 

[te amo barca]

Puig masterclass

 

[Vilarrubi]

Unreal.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Ricardinho Puig is 30x the player that bum Arthur is.

At least in games like these yes. High pressure games, Arthur was good.

Puig can actually work as an offensive midfielder. Arthur no.

 

[CatalinR10]

puigoat.

 

[fergus90]

Puig is actually the player that people assumed Arthur was. One touch passing, quick, cycles possession, can thread a pass between lines. Hopefully many more things to come from him but patience is needed.

 

[Raketa10]

Nice game!

 

[clemente]

Safe to move the thread, he ain't B player no more

 

[vegitot]

Ricardinho Puig is 30x the player that bum Arthur is.

4 key passes + 2 assits = 6 chance created. Dribbling, passing, work rate, stamina....

Puig is like De Bruyne this match.

 

[Xaviniesta]

perfect style of play for barca midfielder. not sure if he can replicate it against tough opponents, but if he can (big if), he'll be a star

He was very good against Atletico too which is promising.
