Chris Richards, Starting v. Hertha

Thank you Sergino Dest for transferring to Barca instead of Bayern, very cool!

 

I'll only pollute the gameday thread with this, but if Richards is capable of starting for Bayern ********ing Munich, that makes the US starting XI look really good. And really young, too. Run through that team in your head and try not to get excited for 2022 and 2026.

We might have a Golden Generation

 

I read that Barca may want to convert Konard to a LB. Too early to see any signs they have that in mind.

 

I know where you are going with this. I did have that lineup but not now. The stars are lining up for us.

 

He looks at home early. Pushing high up, not looking nervous.

 

edit: nm, wasn't richards on the chest down in the box. still, he's looking solid early.

 

This is a helluva first 10 minutes. Game is wide open, tons of action and interplay.

 

Really nice touches from Richards on that attack. He hasn't put a foot wrong yet.

 

Hertha came to win.

 

This is quite the development. Really looking forward to this kid getting more time. Impressive.

 

Keeper plays a 40 yard ball to richards who calmly takes it down and pushes Bayern forward. You can see why they like him. He looks extremely athletic and with solid touch.

 

As they should. They’re a pretty good side.

 

Davies completely stifled so far. Hertha look to be shading the defense his way which def opens up space for Richards.

 

i dont think richards overlapping gnabry is the move guys

 

Good clearance from Richards on the corner.

 

And Richards with the clear. showing his CB abilities.

 

Playing safe, defense first. No mistakes but not offering much going forward. Good for a first game.

 

He appears extremely fast.

 

Caught with the ball a bit there. Should have played out better.

 

hes such a good cb, so confident in his touches

 

imperious bayern mia so far
