Ansu Fati with another injury. Those Barça youngsters are very injury prone, they probably play too much too early.

Hopefully Yamal gets a better tailored treatment.

One of the most overrated players in Europe

Only one world class season in terms of goalscoring under his belt and His all round play is barely better than Haaland's.

essentially you get a really poor man's haaland in terms of goalscoring(though still quite unproven compared to haaland) with much of the same technical defficincies.

tbf, Napoli trash and got gutted. no matter how good u are, u need some type of support. If he goes to a solid team, he will eat

.

and who said he has to be "world class".

in general he scores about .5 goals per game.

that's good enough for most teams (as those teams aren't "world class" either).

+ 0.71 score rate at international.

You can be overrated and still be a good player, shocking I know.

Yamal need to learn how to fake injuries and fatigue for the next 4-5 years. Otherwise Barca/Spain will run him into the ground like they did with Pedri and Gavi.

Fati situation a bit different his problem come from the Meniscus injury the original recovery and the different surgeries to fix it. The hamstring injuries after that apparently are from over compensating on his non injured leg and left it compromised.

Doesn't work like that on the Coli or on X formerly known as Twitter.

Overrated means shyt. I'm not making the rules

at wanting to explain nuance in this day and age.

How dare you try and be reasonable in 2024

If it isn't GOATED or GOAT Potential than its OPPS.

When they are under 18, UEFA should cap the numbers of matches they can play. What Barça did to Pedri was criminal, he played like 70 games in his first season. Madness.

It's funny Yamal was breaking German law in the Euros.

UEFA and FIFA would find a loophole around it. Like that report doing the rounds about the players still playing the same amount of games as they always did without really taking into consideration the pace and intensity of the game has gone up.

Both are to blame for Pedri. Spain are the ones who took him to the Euros and then the Olympics. And Barca didn't give him the rest after the Olympics and had him out there as soon as he came back from Japan.

i think the whole of football agreed to that BEFORE you started arguing the same.

Exactly.

Even genuine world class players can be overrated

Classic example is Van van dijk who has spoken of in the same breathe as legendary defenders like Nesta,stam, cannavaro et al
