¡Hala Juve! - The 2018-2019 Other Players (and Teams) thread

I have spoken about Frenkie de Jong here on several occasions. I have talked about him playing at a consistently high level no matter the platform. On Friday he showed his class again vs France, the world champions. He did it by dominating the midfield and Kanté in particular. This kid is legit. Barcelona would do well to secure him. Dat pass at 1:48. Absolute class and ability.

Also noteworthy is the fact that de Ligt also had an outstanding game. Even keeping up with M’Bappe in a footrace and dispossessing him. Not to mention keeping a cleansheet against them. Of course, having van Dijk as a partner helps. Ajax have struck gold with these two.

On Friday he played the Busquets position, as requested by Koeman, and he does it well. Especially because he has often been fielded as a make-shift CB at Ajax. As can be seen in the videoclip, he can tackle really well, is physically strong, and can pick out a great pass. His ability to read the game and anticipate a pass allows him to cut out passing lanes and get possession back quickly.

He naturally tends to drift forward though cause he has the ability to “ghost” past players or make these forward rushes with the ball and has a knack for making defense splitting passes in the final third. He’s a special talent imo.

 

Croatia 15min away from advancement in UNL.

Oops I pulled a celito!!

 

Crazy match b/w Switzerland and Belgium! The Swiss needed to win and get a better result than 2-1 to win the head-to-head tiebreaker and advance to the NL finals. So when the Belgians took an early 0-2 lead it meant they had 2 away goals and the Swiss needed to score 4! Which of course they did! And even added a fifth. Nice goals too, especially with Courtois in goal for Belgium!

So Switzerland joins Portugal and England in the Final 4 championship. The last spot will go to Holland if they can grab a point in Schalke tomorrow, else it will be France. Germany already relegated so not much to play for,although they will earn a top seed in the Euro qualifying draw if they beat the Dutch..

 

Tiny Kosovo 45 minutes away from entering the 4-team League D playoff for which a spot at Euro 2020 is reserved for the winner.

I think PSG still makes it because they have a game left against Red Star. Just a tie against Liverpool at home almost guarantees them to go through because they have the best goal differential.

 

So ramos used steroids during ucl finals. Im surexmany rm players did that too, not only ramos

 

Or its doping in its clearast form. Its not amateurs you speak of. Irregularities.. if you're honest and clean, these irregularities would never happen. It's like the world has gone mad, call everything fake news and it becomes fake news. Best way to get away with shit. LPB Franco style!

 

But they didn't declare it, did they?

Also not leaving sample before a shower? Why not?

Two clear breaches, if it was a Russian player he'd be crusified already and banned.

 

@celito don't you do it.
