Yep and when we sign another wonder kid he too would be declared more talented than all of the ones we currently have on our books ( including Kubo ) after he does a few fancy moves.
Messi is built like a truck, have you seen the man's legs? One of Messi's thighs has more muscle than Kubo has in his whole body.
Last I checked HGH isn't some magical elixir that gives you football skill and talent. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though.
Messi weighs as much as Mbappe at almost 10 cm less in height. He's grown a lot bulkier over the years.
Quick google search: Vini: Height 1.76 m, Weight 62 kg Messi: Height 1.70 m, Weight 72 kg Mbappe: Height 1.78 m, Weight 73 kg Now while Hazard is a lesson that weight fluctuates in the pre-season, I believe it's still safe to make that statement given the above.
Bale got also a lot bulkier.Just look the goal against barca when he outrun bartra.At that time he was also a lot faster than today.
If you think "bulky" affects speed negatively then you're stuck in the 60s. Sprinters are muscular Marathon runners are skinny There is a reason for this
Messi is also a player that appears every 80 years or so. I don't see comparing him to anybody as something healthy. He's on his own standards.
That I can understand. However, he is a live example of why Kubo can still be impactful with his current physical conditions.
"The effects of GH in the brain: It is well established that GH has profound effects on the central nervous system (CNS). During neural development, GH is involved in neurogenesis, myelination, and synaptogenesis. GH is also implicated in adult brain functions, including learning and memory, locomotion, psychological behaviors, and neuroprotection." HGH is like a permanent adderall for a developing kid. There was a kid in my highschool who was approximately 130 cm at 14y.o (1st year). He was started on HGH in highschool and he grew to 177cm before the end of fourth year. His brain development and his personality changed so drastically that you couldn't recognize him at all. On the intellectual side - his grades went to almost straight As in his last two years, he was dominating older folks in chess, was quick witted and funny as hell. All I'm saying is HGH has a well known effect on the physical development, but the the effects on the brain are not something most people are familiar with - yet it has a profound effect on learning and developing new skills etc. I know Messi was always a brilliant footballer even as a small kid before the hgh, but I also know HGH definitely didn't delay his cognitive development.
Won them a penalty but he didn't play enough to really say much about his performance. Got into the field with a Kubo Kubo chant going through a 1/5th in total capacity filled stadium.
He played for 30 minutes, but Mallorca didn't direct play through him enough to see him on the ball as often as one would wish. However, whenever he got the ball he dribbled really well when needed, and released the ball at the right moments ... but he is still not 100% on the same page with his teammates. They can utilize him better when he is more in synch with the movements of his teammates (and their limitations as well).
