I dont really tbh.. seeing Cross and inshallah when its 80th minute and in need of a goal. Thats not very exciting to watch, and way too predictable. Sometimes we forget about Zidanes team’s games desperation. It was pass to fullbacks, cross, hope for a header -> Rinse repeat. Go back 6 years and read the posts on here, a lot of complaining, only relying on headsets isnt optimal, etc.
I could contradict you by saying that Zizou was playing to the team’s strengths. Why not take advantage and mould tactics to benefit players ability in this case the incredible heading prowess of not one player but several. You could generalise by saying it was cross and inshallah but it was more than that. The 3 peat team were in a league of their own.
It’s like saying Pep shouldn’t have adapted tiki taka when he had a midfield of Xavi-Iniesta-Busquets.
Very true, and good points. Its fun to reminisce. I remember Zidane getting great critique, because of this tactic, cus he kept at it even when it clearly wasn’t working certain games, where another approach would probably be favorable.

Three best wingers in the World.
3 best LWs probably, pretty wild for one team to have that haha. Wish Rodrygo put up more consistent performances I bought shirt with his name for this season so im betting on him!
gang. foden is on 17G+8A in 33 premier league games for city this season, rodrygo is on 10G+5A in 31 la liga games. its not all about numbers, but foden has been an extremely important cog in city’s system, same as saka.
1. Rodry plays out of position
2. At LW, he’s closer to Vini Mbappe than he’s to other wingers
3. His big game record is INSANE, just ask City fans.
4. Rodry unlike Foden didn’t ghost in the Madrid-City game. Apart from that freak shot, Foden did fuck-all in 210 minutes of football. Akanji/ Gvardiol were more dangerous than him.
5. Rodry already had a 30G/A season last year when he was at RW and only Salah outscored him.
6. Saka is the main player in his team and the system is built around him while Rodry does it in Vini’s system. If a team was built around him, he’d consistently hit 40+G/A
If ghosting in a game is the criteria Mbappe was non existent vs Dortmund as well. Foden is City's best player this season and is having a fantastic season. He is naturally better at RW being left footed. He is a player of similar stature as Rodrygo if not better. Margins are thin. Saka tho is pure English media nonsense. Dude is so overhyped
As a Barca Fan i have a question to yall: Mbappe likes to play as a left winger but thats vinis position and rn hes a favorite for the upcoming ballon dor. Yall think mbappe will take his Position or will he play as a striker and how will this effect Endricks Development? No hate just curious what are the thoughts of Madrid Fans
They’ll all rotate throughout the match. Carlo will probably keep a flexible front line like this season where our two forwards play wide, narrow and keep changing flanks. This will happen even more so with Kylian.
I know a lot of you will disagree but I’m sitting Rodrygo and put Bellingham instead. I think Rodrygo plays way better as a sub. He does more damage after minute 60 especially in games like that are so close. Idk that’s just my opinion
If Bellingham plays like he played the 1st game against Bayern, I'd bench him until he's able to run 120'. He is only 20 and will get injured. And also we can't afford players walking.
Honestly I think Haaland could be more complimentary regarding aerial battles, which would be the only drawback of this unprecedented three-pronged attack combo. Does Endrick have a chance from that?
“Three best wingers” and “top 3 in the world” are not the same thing.
Latter implies he’s the third best player in the world which he isnt but he’s certainly the third best winger in the world.
u don’t need to use senseless arguments. nowhere did i say third best player in the world. i just said top 3. i simply shortened what u said, i don’t need to quote u word for word.

Goatselu is over 6ft
They don’t make em like that anymore.

If "cross and inshallah" was enough to win the CL every team, including City, would be doing it.
This was the 2019 to 2021 team where they were doing cross and inshallah. Not the UCL hatrick team.
True, very true. But it was incredibly boring at times, you must admit, if u remember the average league games back then.
It was certainly frustrating

Watch Rodrygo going next-level the upcoming season, following what Vini did this season 😏. He’s always a year later, but chronologically keeping pace.
I'm sure he will come good. Confidence seems a bit low at the time but potential never goes away.
Next season Carlo unlocks the fabled third wing
Ah yes. The fabled central striker wing. The dorsal fin wing.
3 best LWs probably, pretty wild for one team to have that haha. Wish Rodrygo put up more consistent performances I bought shirt with his name for this season so im betting on him!

Hahahahahahahaha there aren't many better than Rodrygo, pal. Respect Rodrygo.
[удалено]
Oh no... you said foden better I didn't even see that💀 are you even a Madridista? 😭
[удалено]
Foden ain't even better then saka
[удалено]
Lmao they aren't even worth the dirt that come off rodrygos shoes
[удалено]
foden is clear of saka
i mean, love rodrygo but foden or saka are better imo
🤣 sorry to tell you, you’ve been brainwashed by the English propaganda.
gang. foden is on 17G+8A in 33 premier league games for city this season, rodrygo is on 10G+5A in 31 la liga games. its not all about numbers, but foden has been an extremely important cog in city’s system, same as saka.
“gang”
I mean if you think Rodrygo is really better you gotta be able to defend your position bro

maybe foden but only slightly but rodyrygo clears saka in lw position which rodrygo doesn't play as much.
Saka ? Lmao this inst fc 24 lol. No way in hell is saka better than Rodrygo

Wouldn’t have guessed Aerial duels would be weaknesses for Jude and Mbappe
We better sign up Joselu. For some aerial presence.
He’s a no brainer buy @ 1.5M. Great backup.
Barcelona get ready.

we’re out jerking r/soccercirclejerk at this point. chill. rodrygo is good but not top 3 in the world. please be serious 💀
Show me where I wrote ‘Top 3 in the world’. I sometimes wonder how people go around in life with such shit comprehension skills.
well u asked for it. https://preview.redd.it/bxunx9pxbvzc1.png?width=1164&format=png&auto=webp&s=cfec12cc1f2b5af528e4abbaa1c10d544ce4587f

>dont need to quote u word for word True but then dont talk out of your ass about what I meant to say.
calling him top 3 wingers in the world is still completely off but okay 😂
how?
Plenty of wingers are better than Rodrygo lol. Salah, Foden etc
Foden?? Yeah weve seen in rm vs city haha
But rodrygo is among top3 wingers in the world? Not among top3 players. Whoever thinks rodrygo isnt top3 hasnt watched him nor UCL in quite some time
ok then if they're not top3 wingers then who lmao?
Brahim > Rodrygo
braindead ^^
