i didn't mention them buying him, an investment can be time, not just money. Pedro was a big investment into an academy player, as they had to risk giving him time on the hopes that he would come good, which was the same with bojan. investments doesnt automatically mean spending. sorry if it came aross a bit confusing♥️
32:32 it’s pronounced (marka).…. and they didn’t say Modric was the worst signing of the season nor did they predict he would flop……. it was a poll among their readers.
I always liked Bojan and Deulofeu. Bojan was too striker oriented tho, he didn't have a similar adaptability nor act as a playmaker. Deulofeu seemed like a complete forward and was great at adapting. He was definitely the closest to what they wanted in "The next Messi". The issue, is the club never cared enough to actually build either of them. Bojan and Deulofeu proved they could reach the heights, were consistent and impactful, yet never had the support that should have been given. Bojan was suppressed and disregarded for new talent, Deulofeu always brought back, but never allowed to grow. At the end of the day, bad coaching and general mismanagement kill careers and ruin potential
People are already writing off Ansu Fati. Chill out fellas, he's still only 21. He still got plenty of time to prove himself. Ousmane Dembele is still considered a superstar with that inconsistent output per season, how is he not considered a failure already?
Players performing so good in youth football that they have huge pressure to perform before their first game is a problem. Take Moukoko, if only nobody knew about his goalscoring record in the youth leagues. I think that there should be a law where youth football stats are automatically blocked on the internet or something, and the players names are filtered out from their devices so they can’t check what people are saying about them until they’re old enough
If we’re to look at the case of the next Argentine to lead Argentina to glory, it’s gonna be a left footed forward that was born in 2022, and in about 15 years, he’ll pop up in one of Europes top youth development systems and be balling out. Ofc he’ll be 2 inches taller than Messi and will be 5’9”. So the next left footed argentine was probably born 2 years ago
We had Pele, Maradona, Zidane, OG Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo CR7, Messi and other players in different era. We will never have next Pele, Maradona, Messi or Ronaldo. We will have somebody else different. We are fortunate to have Messi-Ronaldo era for over 15 years now. Hopefully, new era begins soon Mbappe-Yamal era.
