I don't want to damper the party but he doesn't look like wonderkid potential as hailed. But let's wait. Maybe he has a role to play. After all he's only 18.
Its weird, I wouldn't say he played particularly well but he seems to have an elite acceleration + awareness of space / attacking positioning. Don't have alot of hope for this season but hope he starts to get mroe game time next season.
He needs time, he is only 19 and he needs to adopt to a new country and playing style. Need to be patient when young players he will get better in years to come
RL9 is not Messi and should stop throwing toys out the pram like he is.
Zlatan was very intimidating for young players in squads he was in and it never helped either.
RL9 needs a young striker coming up behind him that is fearless and when he throws his tantrum the young striker scores goals to let him know he is not irreplaceable in the starting 11.
He can't control the ball nor can pass well. No wonder Xavi is no fan.
Think his usefulness lies in when cohesion is lost in later stages of the matches.
But yes. Sample is too low to be sure of anything and he is 18.
I am sure of this though: This money should have been spent on DM.
