Nelson Semedo

[Hamzah]

I dont like Messi at false nine idea.

Barca basically become a slow passing team with not much variety.

Both this years cl finalists use 433 with false nines and play fast and varied football.

 

[JamDav1982]

I think Barca can play 433 if they ditch Suarez and rakitic. Messi would be a false nine, griezmann as a left winger/striker. Dembele could develop as a right winger. Really need a technical mid to go along with coutinho and busquets though.

Need more of an all round cunty tough man tht can play a bit with Busi and Coutinho.


Even if that means Busi plays a bit higher and cunto behind him covering a bit. That will never ever happen but Busi been better than aver way he spreads play and got forward a bit this season.

Real more or less play 442 and Firmino is completely different player to Messi.

 

[serghei]

Don't think Griezmann can play on the left. Isn't he left footed?

I agree whole defence was bad and Semedo was fucking horrendous as part of that.

No conclusions drawn from Levante game but it plays a part in my opinion. Can see how pans out.

But u refer to it pretty often. For me this game just does not count. For no player. There are these type of games where the team collapses as a whole and nothing works.
Vs Levante you could start in midfileld and then go back to the defense. Every part made the other part look even worse.
And ofc semedo played a part as he made a bad game as well which looked even worse cause of my explanation above.
But overall he rarely played bad the whole season but only average a lot. I wont repeat my explanation what could be the reason again.
But some people are overcritizing him a lot. We should still remember that its his first season in a top league.
Neymar fof example had his problems as well. Lets give him a
2nd season with the team then we can really draw our conclusions.
For me he has too much potential to drop him that fast.

Madrid don't play 4-3-3. More like diamond 4-4-2 with Isco as the most advanced midfielder and Ronaldo and Benzema up top.

Well dont count it then but for me and anyone associated with Barca it should count and he was awful.

Examples like Neymar are no more relevant than players that arrived who were just not good enough.

Hope you are right but I dont see it. All about opinions and I certainly wont be one of those folk that seem to get pissed off if get proved wrong, would be delighted.

Zidane varies it but he sometimes plays 433 with front three of ronaldo, benzema, Vasquez. Benzema acts like a false nine and ronaldo cuts in and let’s Marcelo take up left side.

When isco plays they go 442

Yea, but I think their best team is with Isco in it.

In CL past few years almost always been 442 and even then Benzema is not really a false nine and they play it differently to how Barca do with different threats.

Neymar was just an example.
Semedo is not like a vidal where you can easily see he has no potential.
Semedo has good technique, physical strong and extreme pace. He just has to use it better.
Vidal for example has nothing.
We hacw to wait and see....

To use it you need brain. Footballing IQ. That's where many fail. Look at Adama, Deulofeu and then Pedro. Pedro made it not because he has more 'potential' but for his intelligence.

 

[Danic]

Partly yes. But u dont need much brain to go more 1v1.
There were some situations over the season were he run past the defender pretty easily.
For this u need more confidence.

I wonder why he stays behind often. I mean hes physical strong bit sometimes ive the feeling he hasnt that much endurnce and cause of that stays behind. Not sure right now whats his problem. This is no iq thing for me.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Marcelo had many glaring weaknesses early in his career. He really developed his game. Maybe something similar can be done with semedo.

He still has big holes in his game. Marcelo is more of a midfielder than defenseman. He is shit in defense.

Apparently he is out of WC squad
