The thing is..
He is very bad defensively because Enriques side does force everyone to defend in transitions and as we saw in the CWC Palmers goal exposed his defensive weakness.
Sure his playmaking ability IS great and for sure he deserved top 5 and top 3 ballon dor we must say if the team suffers he comes down too.
I was impressed by your translation of the clip into several languages, especially Arabic. I really liked your translation and subscribed to the channel. As for Vitinha, I was impressed by his improved performance after his difficult start with Paris Saint-Germain during his time with the All-Stars. His composure under pressure and his accurate shots from outside the penalty area were particularly noteworthy.
Great and almost complete analysis. I d like just one thing: disadvantages and weak sides of players you analyse
Next: Yildiz (my presonal crush), Karl (overhyped as i think) or Wirtz (to see whats wrong with him in England)
A video on cesc fabregas' como would be great
I’d like to see Fabian Ruiz next, this video was so brilliant
For me Vitinha it's the player who show more quality and smart plays in the whole 2025
