🚨🗣️ Zico: “I don’t see any player in Brazil NT with the same qualities and personality as Endrick when it comes to rising to a challenge.He is a game-changer.” @ESPN pic.twitter.com/xrj39KwIov— Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) June 16, 2026
I honestly dont see all the fuss about Endrick. Yes he is very fast, he has a power shot, and he likes to do some joga bonito skills, but other than that hes such a headless chicken. He still has no tactical awareness, coordination and timing is poor. Just way too raw at this level.
Some of them are bad passes to be fair..definitely doesn't look as sharp as he was from Sept - Dec..maybe he needs to be on a Taco Bell diet?
The fuss is that Igor the Terrible and Luiz Henrique are garbage tier forwards. They make Wagner Love look like prime Romario..
Mbappe will get killed for all those turnovers and lost balls but Olise isn't even in the same city at the moment
Mbappé plays like he think he's the video game character of himself. Back when I used to play football games, I'll have the ball on the wing as Ronaldo, Mbappé etc. and first thing that comes to mind is to try and run past the entire defence and score.
Senegal are never leaving their fullbacks 1v1 against the wingers. There is no space. Somebody has to be brave and try to dribble. Dembele also not in it but Mbappe plays in his position to be fair.
So reliant on pace its craz,y in 3 or 4 years time and that pace goes, imagine being stuck with him then.
For me that is on Deschamps. What is Rabiot and Doue doing?? All this attacking talent to struggle win through individual brilliance and some will say he is a great manager.
Honestly I feel sorry for the people who paid a good bit of money to sit in the heat and watch this match. Dry, boring and disappointing
France so far typical unbalanced team... Senegal has decent midfielders and just like that France with zero control.
That first half was so meh. Even tho i am watching bits of it on my phone but still looked so boring. All that talent out there. Senegal are doing what they must, they are a good team afterall. I am not french (gracias dios) so i have no feelings in the matter but i kinda want them to exit the tournament asap so Kilyan can have a rest and more importantly, the Deschamps era can conclude. Zizou is a very pragmatic coach as well so i am not expecting the showtime lakers to show up suddenly but man anything will be better than this. They have so much elite talent other nations can only dream of.
I watched the Belgium game yesterday. Talk abou unlikable players sheeesh. But anyway, Tibo didn't look as sharp as he does usually. The first goal from long-ish range, i don't usually see him get beat on those, his positioning is elite.
