The ball was still rolling at that point he hadn’t taken a touch yet. When he took his touch to push it forward Brahim was covered.
Reread what you typed and tell me what that has to do with his poor decision making and terrible finishing? He needs to do better regardless of whether the board dropped the ball on a CF or not.
Pretty sure Ancelotti confirmed a few weeks ago that he of course talks to Vini, and those discussions are private.
You saying he acts like Cristiano and Acores saying he is a better playmaker than finisher -- yeah no s***, but we asked him to fill in at quasi-striker instead of his actual position and he's done better than I thought he would.
