Preseason US Tour 2018

[Slevinn]

Result doesent matter in these games. Hope the kids learned from this.

First half was a joy to wach and im glad Malcom scored against those thugs.

Shame Oriol isn't playing these matches. Anyways, playing Juvenil A side is not the smartest thing to do without at least a few senior players.

 

[Jcar]

Arthur might have played is safe, but he didnt loose the ball once.



6AM

But for what i read on Rakitic topics, playing too safe is a problem. He is doing exactly that.

 

[Ascom]

Putting these kids all together at once isnt very smart, how can they evolve if they don't play with better players?

But whatever, nice game for Rafinha, Sergi, Malcom, Lenglet and Arthur. In the second half, the only one i liked was Puig.

 

[jairzinho]

Not surprised with the way the team capitulated in the end.
Poor marking and mistakes from those kids.
Semedo, Bob, Arthur, Malcolm, Lenglet and Rafinha did well.

 

[xXKonan]

There's a talented group of players but fuck me Cuenca and Chumi are a disaster of a CB pairing.

Chumi was much better in the small time he played with Lenglet and Semedo, but that all quickly went to shit when Cuenca was subbed on. I rate Cuenca but these two games have been a nightmare for him.

It's preseason. Results don't matter much. Let the kids play. I agree that it should be more structured so that the Juvenil A players get to play with senior players at any given time.

One more thing...

Roma played like it's a UCL final, those guys

Yeah like I said earlier team was playing like a bunch of tryhards in a preseason friendly, especially with the shitty fouls. Yeah like us they need to gain fitness but these guys were playing like it was some UCL match.

I have a good feeling for next season. We have a mix of young talents and experienced players. The team will have a lot of competition and hunger. Also the yellow away kits are always a good omen.

 

[Gaudi]

Did we play slow or with more dynamic?

 

[Barcaman]

The future is bright. This Juvenil side has so many good players in it. This is without Alena too. We have to caress and develop them properly.

Oriol too.

 

[BBZ8800]

Did we play slow or with more dynamic?

Way faster.
It will sound harsh, but imo, older guys like Busi, Messi and Suarez are slowing down the play quite a lot.
Without them, faster and younger guys were playing very fast, direct and nice.
Busi was raised in Pep's style of play.
Messi drops deep, drags the ball and killing a flow sometimes with dropping deep and touching every ball.
Suarez kills every action with horrible first touch passes.
Actions were more versatile because players didn't need to look for Messi in every single pass.

 

[raki]

Jorge Cuenca has been a disaster these two games. Got a lot to improve. Cannot rely him to be our 4th CB this season as MD and Sport have claimed he might end up becoming.

No way. Vermaelen will be the 4th guy.

 

[raki]

Game over.
Same theme from weekend.
We lose structure after wholesale changes are made.

Perfectly normal. Roma used great subs. We lack 10 class players in holidays.

Stegen
Pique
Umtiti
Vermaelen
Alba
Busquets
Rakitic
Messi
Dembele
Suarez
