RE: Let's talk about soccer: ''LA XAVINETA'' of Xavi and FC Barcelona. [ESP-ENG]

Oh my, why does this post have only this few upvotes? This is a dissertation of a sports presentation.
Respects to you sir.

Well I think that's because @cryptoandcoffee hasn't seen the post yet, I think he's the one in charge of casting the votes in the community, and thank you very much for the words, I appreciate the message very much.

I support your highlighting Dembele under "mentality". Though I don't feel it is fair to call him a striker,he isn't in the real sense; it's only that he has so much talent that, he is expected to chip in with goals. Be my guest, as my latest post takes a look at this amazing talent.

Well thinking about it you are right, Dembele in Dortmund did not play as a striker, not even as a winger if not more delayed, in midfield on the right, but yes, you can see how his mentality has changed, he wants to compete and with the talent he has, he is noticed on the field, yesterday Carvajal suffered too much against him.

Mentality indeed is key and you said it well. I want to show you a picture and I am looking at mentality here,a coach has to drum it into his boys so they keep hearing him even in his absence—

Exactly, if this image is true (which it probably is) it shows that having a good team is not the same as always having a winning mentality, and that's what Barcelona showed yesterday, they worked 100% as a block and overcame a Real Madrid team that at least in names, looked superior.

You guys seem to be oppressing those of us punching our phone pads.🙂 Even your reply is colourful. A Computer right?

Well Dembele,Alba,Pique,even Busquets somewhat, is not so much of mentality change. The coach has created a system that has helped them feel comfortable playing. Barca fans were complaining about the first three names majorly. Did you see my post link above Alba? Alba was even being benched under Koeman. But now,Alba is reborn.

It's not a change of mentality, it is a change of system by the coach.

I appreciate your gift and having this conversation too. I hope Mr cryptoandcoffee sees your brilliant post.

Cheers

HAHAHAHA, I have made the answer from the mobile, although the post was in PC, and of course, Xavi has had everything to do in this change, his work has a lot of merit.

Cheers too!

Oh a phone! Wow some phones are something else.🙂

Yes sir, "his work has a lot of merit".👏
