The most press resistant midfielder in the world.
Barca might just have missed out on their Busi replacement.

It's quite refreshing to see players like him playing for other clubs and not feeling a bit jealous.
We good, we have two players quite capable in that position. One of them, Bernal, if all things go well, will be our Busi replacement for a decade

He flopped at Bayern because he was mispositioned.
He doesn't have the eye for final balls or ability to score himself.
Whenever he finds himself close, around, or inside, the box his mind gets an 'error 404'
The genius of Slot is that (like all GREAT coaches) he found his real position: ball-retainer DM/CM and not an AM or an 8.
Tons of examples with great coaches doing that: Flick with Raphina, Klopp with Winaldum, 2000 Ancelotti did it with Pirlo, etc.
Surprising that Klopp did not see it last season

Indeed.
It all needs the eye of a WC coach to turn a 35m good-ish but nothing special number 8
into a 100m+ WC ball retainer DM

Frankly, he was useless last season. The fanbase wanted him gone and for good reason.

I would not say useless, he could glide easily past opponents, but it was evident that close to the box he did not know what to do
Now he is perfect some meters behind circulating the ball and never losing it

Even I who was a fan of him before Slot, did not know that he had this skill in his locker

He was always a wonderkid who was stagnating at Bayern and Liverpool(pre Slot).
