Kovacic aint got the legs, I remember when odegaard destroyed him at the emirates and kovacic wouldn’t track him.
bench warmer
Is there any way to block all the comments from Africa and Asia?
Blues lost a good one here him a Mac r the two bargain signs
In long term he becomes a CB like Mascherano
Kovatic is an excellent player but will not replace Gundogans goals, assists or play in the final third. So I'm not seeing it.
This show becomes much more sensible and watchable when Gab Marcotti is on leave..
Gab and jules both have there own agenda going on, biased agendas, I meam to say.
Kocacic's career is very interesting. He is very talented and very successful but he played for teams where he was overshadowed by other midfielders . At Real, he had Casemiro, Kroos and Modric, in the three UCLs he won with Real Madrid he didn't play minute in any of those finals. He goes to Chelsea and when Tuchel decided on the 3-4-2-1, Kante and Jorginho were his starters. Luckily in the final against City he came on in the 80th minute. He started for them in the Europa league final against Arsenal so there's that. But isn't it interesting. Very good and talented and clearly a selfless player but never the guy thst team revolved around and now he goes to City where the same thing will happen again.
Kovacic will play great football under Pep. I am happy Gundogan signed with Barca. I will miss him a lot watching City games without him. 😮💨
Brilliant Chelsea, sell to direct rivals 👌🏾
He cost 25+5 you melons
The problem is he going to be starter at Manchester City if they sign rice?
Kovacic will do well in Guardiola's system. Selfless intelligent player who is comfortable in many roles and one of the most technically gifted player at Chelsea.
Mateo Kovacic is not a great player, he will play very few games for Man City
A much better show when Gab isn't on.
Hopefully he turns out like Fernandinho when he came in his late 20s.
I feel that pep is turning more defensive in his tatics with how he played 3 or 4 CBs in games this season. This will be the fifth if he becomes a regular starter
He is the best dribbler from midfield in the world in my opinion. City have a huge weapon this.
Kovacic is better than Gundogan ….trust me
Kovacic is am elite technician, world class dribbler and totally press resistant … He is amazing …
