The living breathing Garra Charrua terrorizing Madrid opponents - The Fede El Grande Valverde Thread

More meaningful than abstract BS about 'mental toughness to succeed' (how do you measure that), 'hes always the victim' (where the hell does that even come from?), or 'eternal promise' (the mother of all cliches with literally zero meaning).

Oh and definitely more meaningful than your white knight intervention here.

 

1. He was a bench player for three years because he had the two best players in his position in the world (at the time) ahead of him (Modric and Kroos). If you know you can be a starter anywhere else why stay, to prove 'mental toughness'? Was Llorente also not mentally tough then? Or Ceballos? Or Higuain before?
2. Never complained and blamed anyone so I dont know what youre on about there.
3. He is a regular starter for Chelsea and finds himself behind Modric again for Croatia.

So yeah, because this is wrong, it makes those statements also cliches.

 

I get that you are bitter that he wasn't rejoicing at another season of being a rotation player here. But I dont know who are you trying to lie to when you come up with cherrypicked examples that he was a starter when we know he was behind Modric and Kroos in the pecking order. Which should not be a diss, and by no means an indicator of his quality.

It hardly gets more hypocritical than petty Madrid fans blaming Kovacic of pettiness. We could have had a midfield of Kovacic, Llorente, Valverde, Casemiro and Ceballos. Perfect balance of physical, technical, offensive and defensive attributes. Instead we chose to keep going with lazy static Kroos and washed up Modric. Yeah sorry, right now I'd rather have Kovacic than either of those two. Its not 2017 anymore.

 

I don't know what was his potential or care about him living up to it. All I know and care about is that he is a fast, tenacious, hard working, highly technical midfielder who can play the ball out of pressure. And outside Valverde we have no one that checks all those boxes. You can use all kinds of argumentative techniques, deride, spin, use cliches, but that still won't change.

 

What use is he supposed to put those abilities to in order for him to 'live up to the potential'? Score 20 goals and make 20 assists in a season? Come on, keep the witty one liners coming. Still can't deny thats his profile as a midfielder. Hilarious.

 

Youre so full of shit. Only your pretentious ass can call appreciating Lucas' work ethic 'stanning him to bits'. Is there a quota of Lucas support posts I need to fulfill or something? And if it was a 'contrarian shtick' why don't I shit on Valverde? Or praise Bale? My opinion overlaps with 90 percent of the general opinion. But 90 percent is not enough, right?

In any case, when youre losing the argument you resort to personal jabs and deflections. Like clockwork, classic. Im still waiting for you to say that Kovacic is not a fast, tenacious, hard working, highly technical midfielder who can play the ball out of pressure. Come on, you can do it, just gather the courage.

 

Youre glad hes gone because he deleted the Madrid photos on instagram. Boo hoo. Hes the type of midfielder we sorely lack, thats the only thing that matters.
