The reason I rate him is he can do both. I don't like any weakness in my CMs, whether technically or physically. There's a reason why he is only second to Rodri in passes this season.
Then he’s good. I don’t think we have upto 5 midfielders with such qualities in Europe.

He plays for which country? Denmark?

Hojberg and Kante will be just fine. Hojberg is a decent passer too
I’ve not watched him that well, I just know him as a combat dm.

Your understanding of this is purely theoretical. Practically, whatever an attacker does to bypass you is counted as a dribble. If an attacker runs past an 'escort', technically, the escort has been dribbled.

You are rated to be good at what you do not because of how often you do it but the precision you show while doing it. Kante is an efficient tackler due to the precision of his tackles not necessarily the number of tackles.

If you play football with someone who gets dribbled easily, you will understand how tiring it can be.
Someone who gets dribbled easily is better than someone who doesn’t even attempt to mark, let alone getting dribbled.

I wish we had Hojberg instead of Jorginho embarassed lipsrsealed
Hojberg and Kante will be a disaster, unless we’ll be playing 3 midfielders for another flexible and calculative player to pair with them.

Stop typing spoil. You can even hear the commentator saying Son is quicker than Jorginho. It's was all about son pace nothing like escort there David Luiz did absolutely nothing sensible there. He completely fooled himself. L
He has shifted from Jorg escort service to David Luiz, not Hbjerg again. grin

What a way to accept the L

Watch the video again Son didn't stop. He kept on pushing the ball before accelerateting away from Jorginho. If David Luiz was sensible and not rushing to meet Son like a mad man that goal wouldn't have happen. David Luiz rushed out like Højbjerg would have done with out thinking properly grin.
Son stopped, and then moved again.

Watch from 0:08 to 0:12... grin


David came out to engage/challenge him and got dribbled, reason i earlier told you that escorts don’t get dribbled because they don’t engage.

If Jorg had wanted to engage Son and not escort him. He would have made use of these lines to wait for him.

Jorg Na escort. He had all the time in the world to engage and challenge Son.

Is that the definition of escort? A fast player outrunning a much slower player ? huh
It’s something to be out-paced and it’s another thing to be terrible defensively. Jorg was defensively terrible.

At this point, they weren’t running, Son stopped, Jorg as an escort was waiting for him to decide what to do with the ball instead of engaging him with a tackle or body jam.

Fernandiho no get that pace, but them no burn Son well to stop just to think of what to do with the ball.

Jorginho Na escort, although good in some areas.

I asked you first. Can you post those videos of those so called escorts running away and hiding from attackers?
Watch Son’s goal and tell me if Kante or Hbjerg will be lazy and foolish enough to escort Son in that manner. grin

Ibime I am checking the stats and it seems like even Jorginho has better defensive stats and at an ever better rate of success than Højbjerg. What do you have to say? Could it be that some players are more Sensible than others and don't dive in foolishly?
Let’s check something...

Let’s say out of all the necessary defensive duties in the midfield, Kante contested defensively 100 times, and won 40% of it.

Then Jorg contested 10 times and won 70% of it.

Who will be awarded a better success rate and who attempted more?

I said provide enough video evidence let's all see how Rodri,Jorg and all the other escorts where running away from attacker bro.
Provide videos proving that Hbjerg is all ginger with no efficiency.

Please help us that don't watch ball with video evidence of this so called escorts doing so cheesy cheesy.
Jorg, Busquet and Rodri are examples of escort Dm. They don’t engage opponents, they are only useful when they have the ball because of their passing abilities, not when opponents are penetrating with the ball.

The likes of Hberg, Kante, Fred, Fernandiho, Ndidi and Rice will be dribbled because they engage players a lot and it’s normal for them not to succeed anytime they engage players which is why they get dribbled sometimes.


This shouldn’t be hard to understand, unless you are trolling.

If e sure Pep, he should bench Fernandiho and buy another Rodri to use. grin

I see you’ve added Portugal to the list. Care to expand it? You’ve got like 24 different choices o grin
I earlier rated Portugal but has to choose England and France ahead of them because of subs. If Na by first 11, Portugal get am, possibly more than England, but that’s not enough.

If Bruno or Ronaldo gets injured, it’s actually over for them, same can’t be said for France and England wey their subs fit make standard 11. grin

Melvyn11:
By your definition then escorts should be the ones getting dribbled more since they are useless and easily bypassed unlike the almighty Højbjerg but it's the opposite here. Maybe he is actually all ginger with no efficiency. cheesy
Escorts don’t mark, they don’t face opponents, they don’t attempt to challenge them.

They escort them to do what they want to do and how they want to do it. How can a player dribble an escort that didn’t challenge him?

Una no dey watch ball?

Will you put your money on this ? Folks will be surprised when a totally different team wins it.

You can’t accurately predict something like this
We’ve passed that generation where any team can just win a tournament.

France, England and maybe Portugal is winning this tournament.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by donstan18: 11:28am On May 26, 2021
This tournament won’t pass France or England.

I’ve gone through the squads of France, England, Portugal and Belgium.

Portugal no get good subs for backup, Belgium don’t have straightforward serious players, just fancy players with high price tags.

England is a complete team, thou I don’t rate their coach. France is so much complete too.

I don’t see any team outplaying France or England in this tournament. I don’t.
