Barcelona are a completely batshit team that turn games into track meets and concede comedy goals because of it.
I love them and they should keep doing the same thing.

I love Barcelona's crazy high defensive line
Rethink strategy after conceding 4 goals? Absolutely not.

Dejan Kulusevski's lack of pace hindered him as a winger, and he was linked to a move away from Tottenham this summer.

A position change has rejuvenated Dejan Kulusevski
If a winger isn't fast and can't dribble past people, maybe try moving them inside.

A fee of around €10million for Nypan will turn out to be an absolute bargain.
Still only 17, he's putting up some serious numbers in the Eliteserian in 2024. Amongst midfielders he ranks 3rd for goal contributions (14), 5th for successful dribbles (35) & 7th for duels won (139) to highlight a few.🔥
