Back when winning Copa America & Tournament MVP didn’t even get you a Ballon d’Or nomination, not to talk of a podium finish. Interesting times.
Alexis Sanchez won the Copa America, Copa America Player of the Tournament and was involved in 31 goals.
No Ballon d'Or nomination. 🤔

Reminds me of the time Falcao, Higuain and Benzema all hit 20+ goals in La Liga. 24, 22 & 21 goals respectively.
It was like they didn’t exist because Ric Flair scored 46 goals and Rey Mysterio scored 50. Terrible people.

The reactions to “Dibu” are interesting. “Love this guy”, “elite shithousery”, “he owns the French people again”. Media hailing him, fans loving it, all that.
Meanwhile, Vini’s existence draws ire and racist abuse.
We know what it is, and why. We know.

Rodri sounds exactly like Xavi and many of the Spanish players from that generation used to. The belief that you “deserve” to win because you had more ball possession is ingrained in them.

◉ UCL
◉ UCL Golden Boot
◉ PL
◉ PL Golden Boot
◉ PL Player of the Season
◉ PL Young Player of the Season
◉ FWA Footballer of the Year
◉ FA Cup

The balls on Pep. Arrive at a team that just finished 3rd, 10 points behind Villarreal & 18 behind R/Madrid, & you get rid of Ronaldinho, Deco & Zambrotta. And your biggest signing is a right back.

Yamal attempted 2 dribbles in 105 minutes. Do you know how insane that is?
He has been averaging 4 completed dribbles per game all season.
Nuno, who is marking him, has attempted 5 dribbles and completed 4. This is a hall of fame performance from Nuno.

But then, you do this. 20/30 metres to the finish line, you know you’ve won by a mile, so you start beating your chest and running sideways.

Nah. The ‘greatest hate-watch of the social media era’ is still Liverpool - Atletico on Covid-19 lockdown eve. Nothing comes close.
People were in the streets celebrating as if it was a trophy for their clubs & crying hateful tears, not even concerned about Covid killing them.

Vini is what every winger should aim to be like.
Fearless, relentlessly duelling, dynamic, generating danger over and over again, and direct with solid dribbling ability.
Only thing left is being a 40-goal player, which may have happened this season if not for the injury.

There’s just no greater pressure in football. This is the peak of everything. To do it more than once, on the same day, was insanity.

Key thing; he’s picking up the ball more often now in spaces linked directly to his natural position, SS. And executing actions with more conviction. None of that humble nonsense he was doing earlier, leaving the ball for others. Half SS, Half 9.

There’s nothing sad about Gayà’s career. Played for the club of his life. Won Copa with the club of his life. Became captain of the club of his life. Will retire in the top 3 for appearances at the club. This means more to him.
Football doesn’t only belong to the “elite” clubs.
Gayá's career, such a sad story. Now thirty years old, rejected many offers to leave Valencia and now pointlessly fights against relegation. He had potential to do so much more in football, a complete waste.

As someone who almost destroyed himself by trying to live up to a brutal standard he set for himself, I do not recommend.
Forget whatever potential you saw in yourself as a teenager. Real life doesn’t work that way. Let go of all that pressure. Give yourself grace. Slow down.

You really think they rate you eh? You think you’re on the team? Lol. You will collect.
this koko guy insulted Vinicius a few months ago and said that “he was asked to be racially abused”
and now it happend to him in a friendly game in atletico’s stadium, hopefully he thinks twice before saying these things next time.

Well, if they’re giving out Ballons d’Or for performances in Copa America, I see no reason why the AFCON Player of the Tournament — who has 20 goals and is on course for a quadruple —shouldn’t expect to be a frontrunner.
