kinda following up from what i said last week, i really believe in the universality of sensitivity as a concept.

only those who have it and value it properly (through empathy and good ol’ pattern recognition) are able to see it in others — and in everything around them.

and aesthetics vs effectiveness has always existed in football, that’s not my issue. what is egregious to me is the ahistorical nature of the many arguments i’ve read in disregard to aesthetics
idk, it’s intriguing how the sentiment over aesthetic appeal in playing styles has decayed in the last decade

I wrote about Raphinha's movement against Dortmund. It was not always picked out by Barca's midfielders, but he was importantly picked out en route to Barca's first goal.

Raphinha is playing more like a second striker, and is making excellent runs
17 goals and 8 assists in all competitions before the new year is an excellent return for Barcelona’s Raphinha. Not really playing as an out and out winger in this system for Barca, more so like a …

if i’d put any weakness on Leão’s game it’d be the timing of his releases. it’s really hard to have pausa when carrying with so much pace anyways, but he often drives with his head down.

following up on my talk on slow wingers, david moyes speaking on technical and physical cloning feels vindicating, specially for attacking positions.

this is very flagrant across the Red Bull model, and in a way, this (sadly) kinda falls into what we like to call good scouting too.

It‘s great to see more teams (Inter, Girona, Arsenal, Real Madrid) using longer horizontal and progressive dismarking movements.

also, enzo’s box crashing isn’t really news. it was prominent at Benfica in the first 3 months before the goals dried out.

and he’s always gotten to great positions at CFC but never with as much luck as now. great moment.

still on the Sancho discourse i started on the other app, i honestly think that the sport never really moves past a certain kind of player. and even i got carried away with that conversation

institutions worldwide are really testing the waters regarding how desensitized we are to outright evil.

artur jorge built a very interesting Braga side not so long ago, balanced towards the top end of the pitch.

glad he did the same for Botafogo
