Don’t know about his defending as I have not seen much of him but from what little I have seen he looks better than Theo going forward, again I say good luck
1030537259542609921 is not a valid tweet id Id give him a start soon. Carvajal needs to feel some pressure.
Truly great news. If Carvajal continues this whatever the fcuk it is he is doing the past years, we better bench him.
Taking on players with confidence, making runs behind the defense and providing dangerous crosses into the box. I think she should have got a penalty today as well.
The Julen - Odriozola thing will be the biggest mysteries. Just never understood what he was doing not playing him. Anyway, hope he gets more mins now.
Yeah, such a bizarre situation. I would never play Nacho or (freakin) Lucas over him, if he's fit to play. If Carvajal is out, Odriozola should play everything. Nacho can focus on LB and CB for all I care and Lucas can focus on next summer (i.e. new club). I wasn't high on Odriozola before his signing, as he never really impressed me when I saw him, but he's been a joy to watch and a true pitbull. Love it!
LOL, maybe JL never rated him and only picked him for the world cup squad because he was already angling for the Madrid job. And that's exactly the type of possible conflict of interest myself and others pointed to when he got fired. Imagine JL picking Lucas Vasquez at RB at the world cup and getting burned by five goals against Portugal or some other team. We never would have given him a second thought for the manager position.
The WC squad was announced on May 21st. Zidane announced he'll step down on May 31st. So much for that "conspiracy" theory.
You underestimate JL. He already knew the team would lack motivation and Zidane would quit for that reason and that Flo would hire him into a hopeless situation and not provide him the tools necessary to succeed, so JL had his revenge by sabotaging the club.
Best player of the back four- by a distance. Quite consistent and most hard working guy in the team at the moment.
Reminder to everyone that this is a player Lopetegui would bench for Lucas annd Nacho to play RB. He was left hanging by Florentino, but the man (while very likable) was an absolute dummy.
Had a disappointing performance today against Eibar (like the rest tbf). Was immediately subbed out after causing their 2-0 goal. https://streamable.com/a9e30
