A friendly reminder before psg and Bayern kicks off

If psg wins Messi will win his 8th ballon d or

If psg loose Messi will still win his 8th ballon d or

I just said I should remind some certain fan base

It’s so sweet being a Messi fan
Nothing can stop the 8th... It's easier for a CAMEL to Pendu sorry, pass through the eye of the needle than Messi not winning his birthright.

When you park the bus, a DM makes many interceptions because space is tight and most opposition attempts to pick through a parked bus will run into interceptions from the DM. That's where he racked up interceptions to fool the gullible with false stats. You can check Chelsea interception stats in 2012 UCL to confirm

More telling in that game is how he was hiding from the ball as usual under the press, and how he made virtually the same no of passes as Veratti who left the pitch on 73 mins while he played 120

And he still didn't make the top interceptions per 90 mins for the tournament despite his bus parking extravaganza against Spain
Against a ball-retaining and possessive team like the Spanish team, it's normal that the less dynamic Italian team would have to play low block to prevent the Spanish strikers from running behind the defenders and Jorg worked according to his coach's instruction.

Same thing he does in Chelsea too. In a proper team that plays 4 ATB and play more progressive football, his lapses would be less noticeable. But of course, the last days of Sarri, Tuchel and now even Potter are not clinical enough to play offensive football that'll probably allow him to play better.

He's sure not my go-to DM anyday but there are certain falsehoods that shouldn't be sold for agenda.

Jogginghoe was nowhere near top of anything per 90 mins

He is the only non defender that played every minute of 7.matches including 3 that went to extra time. He simply had far more minutes on the pitch than any other non defender. Veratti within his own team performed above him in all the metrics per 90 mins

Jogginghoe simply went hiding when teams matched Italy 3 for 3 in midfield, he was lucky to have a parked bus defence and a goalkeeper that saves penalties. You have no clue what you have been yarning since morning. Lazy and clueless people point to overall stats as if they are sharing good information and making foolish assumptions on that. That's why Oyinbo man say a little information is a dangerous thing


Who can forget against Spain when Jogginghoe was actively hiding from the ball behind players, Veratti was the only one even showing for a ball that game.
The same against Spain where he made 8 interceptions which was the highest number made by any other player in that competition.

I'm not even a fan of his to begin with... I only interfered cos Hesben was trying to compare him with one of the greatest DMs of all time.

This is nonsense stats from being the only DM playing 7 matches, playing extra-time in 3 of them, and parking bus.
The same seven matches that cemented him as UEFA best midfielder... Nah.. You don't know better than them

italy too has quality CM with strength around him; verratti, barella and locatelli. Like i said before, jorginho actually achieved in Chelsea too but personally i don't like his type of CDM, mostly in epl. With physical weakness if he had quality offensive play i won't budge, it means he can be used as CM but his progressive play is average, most times, there is no attacking threat in his passes, just side and back passes.
Maybe I should juggle your memory a little. Jorg's style of play was limited by a long stretch because Tuchel believed that he had a midfielder in Kante that could make dashing runs with the ball into the box and Kovacic who'd load the sideways for either Chillwell or James to overload the box until something happens. Jorginho's work was just to serve as a figure head for protecting the defense and maybe maintain tempo of the game which he shared with Kova too. This was different in the Italian national team as he was VERY pivotal to their winning it.

He had: as per tribuna (https://tribuna.com/en/news/chelsea-2021-07-11-passes-interceptions-more-8-stats-unbelievable-jorginho-leads-italy-in-at-euros)

Most touches

Most fouls won

Most interceptions

Most possession won

Most passes

Most passes into final ⅓

Most accurate through balls

Most distance covered

Mount was the only one tasked with creating chances from the middle and he was also a forward player which didn't really make it too obvious and now that he's no longer in form, it feels like a herculean task for the rest of the team since they are not used to it.

Maybe the overhaul is what you guys need but I tell you again, it's not completely Jorg's fault that he was limited.. The Chelsea's managers, were primarily at fault.

[b]There's no way Jorginho is weak and easily subdued when compared to someone like Gundogan. [/b]Pep used the same Gundogan as a Dm in the same league and was dominant. He would have used jorginho to dominate the same league as well. Blame your club for not knowing how to use a player like Jorginho effectively.
I don't think it's fair to compare physique of Gundogan with Jorg though

Rodri is actually a robust CDM with attacking contribution. Jorg is thin and weak, his attacking prowess is poor; can't shoot due to his tiny thighs, can't context for heading ball like Rodri and rarely progress play. Kante carried him most times, when Kante is not playing our midfield become express and we look thin and average in midfield.
And in the Euros where Kante wasn't carrying him, he emerged as a winner and as one of the best players of the tournament.

Take it or leave it... Chelsea simply lacked the major prospeneties to allow any technical DM prosper in the team and unless something is done, one other midfielder will have to cover for the DM, leaving so much space when he's actually not there... Just as Kante was to Jorg

Pep that introduced those type of CDM into the game won't dare rely on them in epl or ucl mostly when there is no messi to do magic.
Maybe you think Rodri is actually a fast or robust DM but he's here... On course to maybe win the 3 EPL trophy.

Your team might lack the impetus to know to use technical DMs but don't blame that on Pep who knows what he wants and go for it.

Lies. jorg is weak whereas gudo is astute with the ball, it's just like saying sylva is weak because he is small which is not true. Jorg is weak and easily subdued. Pep would've bought another cdm already and bench or sell jorg. You guys talk like it's every player pep sign that clique. Because he played bousquet in la liga doesn't mean it will work for him in epl.
Jorginho is nothing like Busquets. And yes.. If he could bring him all the way to City.. He surely would depose Rodri without batting an eye.

Pedri is something else

He's a top 3 defender and not even the number 3. Top 5 feels like an insult to "THE ROCK."

Next up is Man United.

Araújo is THAT guy!! Unplayable.

Pedri scoring yet another winner ⭐️

How do you describe Frenkie? Flawless.

We lacked the quality to control the second half. Busquets’s absence?

11 points clear at the top
Xavi will probably play Pedri close to Frankie the next time we play a team that wants possession as Villarreal. Kessie doesn't have the capacity to control games and wants to bomb forward, although he did well with inviting pressure and offering some splitting passes but be couldn't just dictate the tempo.

To replace Busquets would be VERY VERY hard.
