Preseason US Tour 2018

[EdmondDantes]

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

Stegen
Pique
Umtiti
Vermaelen
Alba
Busquets
Rakitic
Messi
Dembele
Suarez

You forgot someone mate.


Decent game for us. Particularly the first half. Puig did well yet again. Pre-season is not about results, it's about fitness and getting the players to gel, especially new signings and some of the youngsters that are expected to play a part during the season like Cucu/Miranda.

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.

And that is the main problem, Messi is ok, he is magician so he can slow things down but only him, noone else.

Now wait for the senior players to return and ruin everything for the season. i am talking about pique, suarez, and partly rakitic

How can we compare a meaningless friendly to competitive games?

We can see if Valverde is seeing the problem or we'll have another simillar season.

man this milan team is really underwhelming, which is insanely sad. our b team/u-21 are gonna have so much fun with them

 

[jairzinho]

Juve v Real should be a good game. Would be weird watching CR play against Real.
