Before leaving.. Bartemou had to entertain us with one last joke. He did it For The CULTURE
Portugal & Barcelona curse.
A love story which never works.
Baia, Fernando Couto, Simao Sabrosa, Quaresma, Andre Gomes, Semedo, Trincao.
The only one who worked was Figo.
And Deco, but Deco was a Brasilian who played for Portugal and not a real Portuguese.
With his slow pace, the only way to turn into a world class player is if you have Figo's tecnique.
But even then, even Figo played 15-25 years ago so it is hard to tell whether he would work in a modern football.
But this is comical:
On planet Barca (board, directors, coaches, and majority of fans even though some have started to open their eyes lately), we are stuck in 2000 or 2009:
Puig has a teen physique
Trincao doesn't have any pace
Our other winger, Fati is also slowish
We had that bum Arthur as the new Xavi for 2 years.
We don't have a no9. Why should we? It worked 10 years ago with a false 9, lol.
Out of all top clubs, we are probably the most stuck in the past.
We don't want to embrace modern football tendencies like physique, pace, stamina, some height, a true no9, faster football.
And then imagine if Xavi comes and we go full retard with an even bigger return to a football from 2000'
People are harsh on him tbh
True. He was bought to be a backup, is 20 years old and cost 30m. He didn't do anything yesterday, but either did dembele and griezmann who cost a combined 250m.
There is a normal pass he tried to play but it went to stand instead. It is really ridiculous if you watch it.

They're all shit, who cares how much they cost. Sell all three of them.
Dembele and griezmann have had enough chances. It's harsh to judge a player on a few sub appearances. There is still time for him to come good.
Poor acceleration, predictable drop of shoulder technique...he's going to end up as a typical one dimensional winger. I don't need to see 3 years of him to figure that out.
He might end up being a flop, he might not. He deserves a proper chance to play RW. Griezmann has been useless there, dembele lacks football intelligence and we are broke. Who are we going to get to play there?
