ever wonder why Iniesta was such an effective ball-carrier?
the secret is in the upper-sidefoot contact he made with the ball consistently.

- Josep Guardiola. the Grandmaster who chose pitches over chessboards. a thread:
- Alonso's Leverkusen are what my vision of ideal in-possession football is. Arteta's Arsenal are what my vision of ideal out-of-possession football is. Basque Brilliance.
- i genuinely don't think I've seen anything like Joshua Zirkzee, maybe ever. it's like 05-06 Ronaldinho and 03-04 Henry fused with post-CR7 Benzema all rolled into one. i don't even have the right language to describe how incredible he is. x.com/MunichComps/stโฆ
- Federico Redondo is a #6 made in a lab by aliens.
- Arsenal fans don't know how fortunate they are to watch this caliber of football week-in, week-out. the things I'd do to have Mikel Arteta at my club are unspeakable.
- Michel, Girona's manager, in an underdog situation, 1-0 up, with a full HOUR of play to go. asking his players to "play like you would in the street". with autonomy, expression, ingenuity, self-expression, creativity. this is football, man.
- Pedri does this constantly. almost always DELAYING actions until the last feasible moment, toeing the line between possible and impossible. he just waits, and waits, almost the way Jordan would hang in the air, waiting for earthlings to come down.
- when Zinchenko and Solomon post on IG nobody bats an eye. i think this should tell us all who's being silenced forcefully and oppressively, that being said.. FREE PALESTINE, FROM THE RIVER TO THE FUCKING SEA.๐จLeicester midfielder Hamza Choudhury faces FA action over โriver to the seaโ post. Comes after emergence of historic pro-Palestine tweets from chair of FAโs inclusion advisory Deji Davies. mol.im/a/12690099
- bodies usually move limb-by-limb when moving side to side, but Musiala somehow teleports his entire body there.
- Locatelli, 20! years old, against CL Finalists Spurs. THIS is a midfielder. Allegri, blood on your old, callous hands.
- If Europe found De Zerbi's football enthralling, wait till they they catch up to Gallardo-ball. - maintaining a positional frame, while free-flowing rotations reminiscent of Total Football are at play. Marcelo Gallardo, see you soon, Maestro.
- Moscardo is completely ridiculous, how is he even real?
- I've watched Juve win 9 leagues in a row, 2 CL finals, sign arguably the 2nd greatest player ever, win countless battles and legendary matches, i have never, EVER, felt more proud of my Juve than tonight ๐ค๐ค
