If you’re playing Fiorentina, make sure you have full-backs who can defend 1v1…
Franco Mastantuano (19) and Alieu Njie (21) are making the Italian side one of the most exciting teams to watch right now
They both thrive when they’ve got the ball and are running at players, making things happen and given freedom to express themselves
They’ve contributed to 10 goals so far this season combined with Njie causing mayhem on the touchline and Mastantuano loving to drift inside and exploit spaces in midfield
Together they’re a breath of fresh air, both capable of getting you off your seat. Wing wizards who are still so early on in their careers
types of players fans pay to see🟣.

🇪🇸Fermin Lopez (23) comes alive when the lights are brightest
Another 2 goals today against Atletico Madrid in a top of the table clash.
That makes it 8 goals and 7 assists in 16 games for Barcelona this season. Last year he hit 30 g/a in all comps too
A few years ago, many doubted if he was at the level of other La Masia graduates and deserved to be a part of Barcelona’s first-team
Now he’s an integral part of it. A technically top attacking midfielder who makes brilliant runs into the box, finds space well and most importantly - scores goals
It’s an invaluable part of his game and he often comes up clutch when the going gets tough for Barcelona
becoming underrated.

No idea why Alonso persists with this flat midfield 3 of Caicedo-Lavia-Henderson. None of them are good enough in the attacking half-spaces. And if the idea is to give the Chelsea full-backs more freedom to attack then they aren’t good enough at attacking to be doing this.

I’ll always love Tuchel but it’s very obvious his talent ID is abysmal and always has been. He can’t pick players to save his life, he’s shown that throughout his career
Is it a stretch to say he’s only had 2 successful signings ever?

Algunas de las últimas compras del Bayer Leverkusen para su ataque:
▪️€20m por Martin Terrier.
▪️€35m por Malik Tillman.
▪️€32m por Eliesse Ben Seghir.
▪️€29,5m por Afonso Moreira.
▪️€28m por Moussa Diaby.
Casi €150m invertidos en jugadores que desde su llegada no te cambiaron la ecuación y no te dieron el salto de calidad esperado, ya sea por problemas físicos o niveles bajos. Los tres primeros parecen tener un fin de ciclo más temprano que tarde y Moreira y Diaby tienen el beneficio de la duda por su reciente llegada/vuelta, pero por ahora muy poco de ambos.
Rolfes va a tener que revisar el futuro inmediato de alguno de estos nombres, sumo a Tella y Boniface, y viendo la situación del equipo también tendrá que intervenir en el mercado de enero. Nos quedamos con los problemas defensivos y en el arco del equipo, pero el ataque está dependiendo exclusivamente de lo que pueda crear Maza y la cuota goleadora de Schick. Si el argelino no tiene un buen día, nadie levanta la mano en la zona de creación.

🚨 Mamadou Sarr on living again and getting out of Chelsea:
"I am living again. I had to be patient and find the best way out [of Chelsea]. I was hungry, very hungry. I wanted just one thing: to play football […] I have rediscovered a bit of the Lyonnais atmosphere. A very good club on a sporting level and a family club, too, that trusts in young players. Real Sociedad is the perfect club for me."

At the moment there is an absolute gulf in physicality between the Bundesliga and La Liga.
Also why Flick’s style and squad building has been so effective at decimating everyone bar Atleti and Madrid

Nusa this season already has more club G/A than each of his totals in past ones

One goal and two assists in the UCL for Liberali, in only 30 minutes
improving with every game.
🇮🇹For years, Italy have been struggling to produce quality players on a consistent basis
But this short video offers a glimpse towards a more promising next generation of players
Mattia Liberali (18 ~ AM) is a magician on the pitch. You can see the quality in every touch. He’s currently learning his trade in the Italian second division
Christian Comotto (17 ~ CM) has the technical and physical foundations to blossom into a really top midfielder. Can pass, tackle, carry and gets on the end of chances
Jamal Idrissou (18 ~ ST) has been ripping it up in Inter Milan’s academy this season. Strong number 9 who’s great in the air and with his back to goal
Italy recently always seem get far in major youth tournaments. There’s a huge wave of talented footballers rising through their youth teams
They have players like Inacio, Camarda and others also coming through to create something that could be quite special in the next few years
These could be the players to lift Italy out of their footballing rut and propel them towards the success their history warrants
there is something to be positive about italy fans, the future looks bright

This is Antonio Nusa’s (21) season🇳🇴
With 6 goals and 7 assists in 13 games so far this campaign, it’s fair to say the Norwegian winger has taken a step up, filling the superstar-sized hole left by Yan Diomande
If people are worried about “Bundesliga tax”, Nusa has consistently performed both for Norway and in the Champions League, taking his output to new levels this year
One of the main things he’s been missing so far is consistency in front of goal, but if he keeps up this form, Europe’s very best teams will be in for him
Ball-striking, dribbling, athleticism and crossing ability are all at a high level. Sometimes we forget that he’s still only 21
scary hours.

🇷🇺Aleksey Batrakov (21) has made lightwork of his move to Galatasaray
The Russian midfielder was reportedly being monitored closely by PSG and Luis Campos, and if his performances so far are anythjng to go by, you can see why
The most impressive thing about him is to go along with his natural easy and ability on the ball, he’s consistently finding the back of the net
4 goals in 4 Champions League games. 8 g/a in 13 games in all completions
The attacking midfielder is clearly a very smart operator with a brilliant first touch and knack for being in the right place in the box to finish off chances
could find space in a phone box.

Last night, another PSG starlet announced himself on the European stage
In the past few years, Ibrahim Mbaye, Senny Mayulu and Warren Zaïre-Emery have all graduated from PSG’s academy to make huge splashes in the first team and beyond
Last night, right-back David Boly (17) made his UCL debut in a 6-0 thrashing against Villarreal, and even walked away with a goal
Those who watch PSG’s academy closely have always tipped him to be the next one up and the reasons are clear:
He’s an incredible athlete who excels in carrying the ball down the touchline with great control and balance when running at pace.
He also has the vision and composure to consistently make intelligent decisions in the final third, which is a skill separating him from most his age
🇫🇷paris’ production line is one of one.

clickbait title but wanted to explore how expecting certain players to scale up to more important / starter roles on the basis of their volume p90 data can lead to misguided conclusions
