For me, it just feels natural that if you attack better as a full back, you might be suspect in your defending since you're mostly up top and you have to patrol all the whole wing, especially in a demanding role like Barca's LB who is expected to hold width when we are attacking.

So if you're holding width, recovering your position defensively, might be harder.

And yes, speed is not everything since for Hansi Flick's tactics, Cancelo fits better because of the more emphasis on attack.
I'm happy you wrote this. That's the misconception. Example, Dani Alves was always up top yet when it comes to 1vs1, he was always there. Another example is Ashley Cole. Always running the whole left flank yet defensively very solid.

Currently there's Hakimi and Nuno Mendes. How many wingers can chop these two yet they're always up top.

Balde can defend 1vs1 because he's fast. It's his awareness like the goal conceded vs Udinese that's he's found wanting. His attacking output is also poor. But I think he'll do well in the EPL for a counter attacking team.

Balde hasn't dropped any disaster class performance when we were knocked out because he was never available 🙄

He was always injured at the business end of the season. Twice in a role now. Wasn't available against Inter Milan and wasn't available against Atletico Madrid.

I'm not saying he should be sold because I like the player, even though it's obvious his development has stalled.

However, if we can manage to get him fit during those crucial periods of the season, he offers different profile to Cancelo and he's the better defender of the two and this quality will be needed in crucial points in the UCL, as we saw what happened with Gerrard Martin against Inter. If Balde were there, we won't have lost that match.

Also, Hansi Flick tactics exposes his weakness -- he's expected to hold width when we're attacking to form a 5 man attack, he struggles to take on his man and beat him 1v1. This is why we think he hasn't improved greatly in his role.

But he's better at other areas like progressing under pressure and he has good chemistry with his teammates and also collects relatively low salary. We should keep him. He's still young and he can still improve.
...That Cancelo cannot defend is a myth. He's actually a better defender than Balde. Balde is only faster than him. Watch Balde's defensive awareness against Udinese recently and you'll see that his spatial awareness just insnt there. Defending is beyond 1vs1.

I remember Theo Walcott, arguably the fastest player at the time struggling against Bolton old man Paul Robinson. That you're fast doesn't mean you'll be efficient at football, either attacking or defending. Speed is a good skill to have but it's just one of those things.

I appreciate your knowledge of football bro.

But nothing do De Jong.. De Jong is a good midfielder and I don't understand the angle you always criticize from.

He is not uncoachable, his problem with flick started from the UCL 2nd leg with ATM. He refuses to start because he was just coming back from an Injury.
Dejong is good no doubt. Just like how Kovacic, Seydou Keita, Fernandinho, Fabinho are good players. Mind you the aforementioned players are better than him though. He's just nothing special.

Dejong's inability to adapt to that position is why Xavi cried his eyes out for a DM and ended up with this bros.

My argument against this, is that Barcelona did not set him up for proper success. And he also lacked ambition. He should have left to join ManUtd when Barcelona did not sign a defensively minded midfielder who could play alongside him and do the dirty job around him.

It was obvious he couldn't play this role but he played it anyways for many years and these years coincided with our worst outings in European competitions. It damaged his reputation amongst the fans and critics, who expected him to do what he is not able to do or learn to do. Everyone lost 7 years trying to make this work and now we're signing Rodri to try to fix a position which has gone rotten for almost a decade..
All these are excuses for the DJ.

A typical CM should be able to play DM comfortably. DM is about positional discipline something Dejong lacks in abundance. Add to the fact that he can't be coached and you have a tactical headache of a player.

Vintinha, originally a CM, now DM
Calhnoglu originally AM now DM
Gravenbrech originally CM, now DM.
Then there are players like Jorginho, Pirlo who played DM at Juventus among others. Without Casemiro, Kroos was the DLP when Madrid won thier most recent UCL title. Tchumeni was the runner.

The aforementioned players either won the UCL as DM or at least played in the UCL final. Grav didnt win UCL or played final but in his first season as DM, Liverpool comfortably won the EPL title. Gavi is a CM. As a DM, he does a better job.

Making excuses for DEJONG in 2026 is really a new one.

He's enjoying Dutch tax. Plus people have refused to move on from 2018-2019 Ajax De Jong. That player does not exist anymore and I can argue he never really has for Barcelona anyway

But for a club in the level of Barcelona to hand him the #9 role at such age, he must show some Lamine Yamal level of talent. I still think it'd be reckless for us to pressure him like this.
Hamza won't be ur main 9. But if he keeps on scoring like he's doing, I think he should be rewarded. He should at least be given the Ferran role. Na Flick sabi sha cheesy cheesy

jpmoriarti:
I will consider it too much to expose such a young boy and put so much pressure on him to score all these goals Robert Lewandowski use to score. If the club does this, they will be setting him up for failure. Not every player will turn out to be Lamine Yamal in terms of mental strength.
Yamal, Gavi, Pedri, Curbasi, Bernal and Ansu made their names at a very young age. Younger than Hamza sef. If Hamza is delivering, then there should be continuity. Football isnt really about age even though age is imperative. Recently, we saw how 17 year old Brian Madjo of Aston Villa dominated PSG in the UEFA super cup.

Dejong is almost 30, Xavi Espart is 19. If you understand the game, it's clear that Espart's positional play i.e give and take plus defending is superior. Dejong will never understand or learn that even at 40.

Jackson won't start scoring goals because of age, Tosin won't defend well because of age.

The issue with Hamza is that younger players in the team won't trust him. For instance, if Yamal is in a difficult position to score while while Hamza is in a better position, Yamal won't pass the ball. But if it's a big name like Lewy, Kane, Mbappe he'll pass. However, experienced players like Raphinha, Cancelo, Rodri and even weakling Dejong will pass and try to help Hamza build his confidence.

You'll notice what I just said and it'll prompt Flick to demand for a senior striker. Other than that, I think Hamza can have Ferran numbers if he's trusted.

Rakitic was a don at Sevilla and came to Barca and continued from where Xavi left off carrying Fraudsquets

De Jong is one of the most overrated players I've ever seen. He's kinda like Busquets but not even as good.
I think he's the most overrated player of all time. For instance, he doesn't influence games like players like Kovacic or Seydou Keita. Very normal player. I personally dont think he's much better than Rabiot. May be he's better but I just don't see it. He's also now very prone to injuries.

And yes Chelsea fans are in their right to banter, celebrate the downfall of Maresca as much as they want. He abandoned a project mid season to go negotiate with Citeh. For Chelsea, Maresca is history.

You remember this guy, you sabi ball!!!

Before being exposed as a hugggggge fraud, some barca fans used to say Dejong was better than him.

Aside Rodri, no current Barça midfielder would complement MSN like Rakitic. A high energy player who could do everything from running to cover for Messi and Alves to passing, control, long shots and brought so much physicality to their middle.

Rodri has been having some injury problems in the last few years so we don't expect him to play every game. I want him to see lesser league games so he can present for the UCL knockouts where the stakes are highest. Pedri won't also play every game. There'll be game time to go round though it'll affect gavi and bernal the most
The emboldened is a myth. Fans just say it to cope. Barca have Dejong, Rodri, Bernal,Pedri,Gavi,Fermin and Olmo. That's 7 players for for just 3 positions. That's over booking and at the end of the season, one or two of those players will leave due to lack of game time and Flick isn't known for rotating players.

I tip Dejong and Bernal to leave with Bernal going on loan or sell with buyback. I woulved tipped Gavi too but he's like Omonile at the club. He'll never want to leave barca even if it means playing RB or GK.

Araujo has not had the best of careers.

But he is good defender, he will do well in Liverpool.

Even with the best CBs in history Barca will still struggle under the flick's highline.

The highline is irritating, and if Barca play a team like Arsenal or PSG, we are done for.

If I am to be overly critical, we ain't UCL contenders, Rodri or Rodri.
But football is unpredictable.

I have nothing to say on Cubarsi, I pray he turns out good. We keep managing Martin until a decent CB arrives.
Im saying that Martin starting for barca clearly shows Araujo's level as far as his Barca's career is concern!
