Ousmane Dembélé

[M3ls]

It is known that the winger of Brighton Mitoma, while studying at the university, wrote a dissertation on dribbling. It is clear that dribbling is a key aspect of a winger's game, so this is especially interesting.

The goal of the work was how best to beat an opponent using a camera placed on his head to collect data. In the work itself, he identifies several principles, the essence of one of the principles is the correct movement of the body and destabilization of the opponent. Mitoma will always be on the lookout for an opposing player when he receives the ball and will try to destabilize the opponent's center of gravity before dribbling.

One of Mitoma's theses is: it's best to go to the dribbling, looking forward, not down.

In practice, Mitoma uses all this very well, he plays in the Premier League, where there are many strong right-backs, but 1 on 1 he can beat almost any player with many different movements. This season, he ranks third in the league in dribbles per 90 minutes, averaging 2.3 dribbles, and has one of the highest percentages of successful dribbling attempts in the Premier League, with a 59.4% success rate.

3 hours left before I couldn't care less what happens.

Tick tock.

 

[JamDav1982]

No chance of Mitoma.

Wasting time even discussing him.

The latest rumor says Joao Felix is Dembele's replacement and Laporta really wants him now more than ever. Fcuk me.

You sound surprised. Since the news that Dembele might leave, Felix became closer than ever to Barca.

The latest rumor says Joao Felix is Dembele's replacement and Laporta really wants him now more than ever. Fcuk me.

Never got the hype about him. Just another player who doesn't have a clear position in Barca's system. Had enough of that sort in recent history. Should learn from that. Shouldn't make another costly mistake after Griezmann.

Joao Felix is not a Xavi signing or a Deco signing.
He's a Laporta-Mendes signing, and it's a shame if we sign him as Dembele's replacement as he's not the type of player needed.
Club basically repeating sins of the past by replacing players that are quick, direct dribblers with guys like that.

 

[JamDav1982]

Know for a fact Chelsea internally did not rate Felix.

Ability wise... best in training.

Came to games.. had no bite/agression to him and game passed him by.

 

[Porque]

How does Felix even cover Dembele position let alone role.

This rumour is all Mendes because no one gives two shits about his client.

Shame Barcola is Gestifute otherwise he would cost 40m.

 

[DonAK]

Not saying they are super talents, but profile wise and cost wise someone like Nico Williams or Jeremy Doku makes more sense than spending whatever absurd amount Atleti want for a player that has no position.

Both can also cover both LW and RW.

 

[KingLeo10]

Is Ousmane Birdbele gone yet?

How about Luiz Henrique from our friends at Betis.

 

[Daisymorr]

Joining PSG says enough about Dembele - lack of ambition.
Prove yourself in a top league like PL or La Liga.
Backwards step going to Ligue 1. Looking for an easy ride and big paycheck.
Better off without him in the long run.
Crazy talent but that's been said about many before him and will be said about many after him.

We move on.

 

[DonAK]

How about Luiz Henrique from our friends at Betis.

Gotta be honest I haven't followed him much so cannot comment. Same about Barcola.

 

[delancey]

There is no 50m release clause (expiring today). Dembele wants to leave, incentivized to leave on or before 31st of July (50% of 50m). PSG want to purchase him. Yet no deal occurs today. 🤣👍

we need more reliable transfer gossip. 👀

 

[JamDav1982]

Its crazy Barca have spent so much money on forwards and not one of them has pace.

Cant think of any top team that would lack pace the way Barca front line will.
