This is what @Spurs_ES get with @11BryanGil (little thread)

One of the most promising/talented youngsters in the hardest thing in football: 1v1s. He has learnt to choose when to do it, but Nuno will encourage him to do it often. Not only he is good driving with the ball...
he can beat you in small spaces and when stopped. His pace and quick mind helps. Brave he is, but his game doesn't stop there

He has learnt to make calculated runs into the box when the ball comes from the other side and at Eibar he has added goals to his game
But there is more. Coach Mendilibar demanded that he runs even faster and commits even more when he doesn't have the ball. Which he did. In fact, he loves doing it as stealing the ball (one the forwards that do that more often) has created many chances for his team
Then there is the personality. Generous in the effort, he is not scared of anything and deals with set backs like a mature player: asking for the ball, demanding more of his teammates, making the last pass

I'm trying to find him a fault...
He could score more, beat more defenders, I don't know, sing songs... But he is developing and wants to learn. The fact he went to tough #Eibar and succeeded means he knows that and will absorb everything like a sponge

What a signing, not just for #Spurs but also for the PL

Some think that Rafa Benitez belongs to another time. Really? Let’s see the evidence. A biased but researched thread:

At Chelsea, he left them third and Europa League winners (one of the 13 titles won in his career!!!)
At Napoli he won 2 titles to a Juve that used to win everything. Plus a semis of the Europa League. He signed Albiol, Reina, Koulibaly, Jorginho, Higuaín, Callejón... last season the club called him four time to take over the side again
At Real Madrid, he left the team top of the Champions League and clearly with options in the league. Six months is no time to evaluate anything like others would tell you (Lopetegui, for instance)

Florentino Perez in @elchiringuitotv about the #Superleague

“The biggest clubs in England, Spain and Italy have to give a solution to the bad financial situation of the game... we reached the conclusion that doing a Superleague instead of Champions...
... we could get back some of the money we lost because of the pandemic. We have to raise more money organising more competitive games”
“Football has changed... interest was being lost as audiences were going down, and the TV rights also being reduced.

Something had to change. And the pandemic told us, ‘do it now’

We are all close to bankruptcy

40% of young people have got no interest in football”

A thread with my latest piece for @sport on Messi and his #Barcelona future. (1/15)

You can check out the whole article in Spanish right here: sport.es/es/noticias/op…
The minutes go ticking by as we wait to hear the announcement of a renewal offer for Leo Messi. Certain sections of the media are announcing that he has the club proposal in his hands although the reality is very different. (2/15)
Those that believe that the making up of stories can help to bring about the desired conclusion of him staying fail to understand the doubts that are currently overwhelming Messi. (3/15)

Hilo Messi

Jorge Messi tiene previsto viajar a BCN miérc, juev o viern. Barto le pidió quedar. Idea del presidente es renovarle 2 años con cláusula del 10 de junio para irse libre si quiere… la temporada que viene cuando Barto ya no está. Messi cree no ser ya jugador del FCB
Cuando LaLiga dice que “no efectuará el trámite de visado previo de baja federativa al jugador si no ha abonado previamente el importe de dicha cláusula” se refiere, imagino, a un traspaso dentro de LaLiga. La FIFA puede tramitar pase temporal para jugar en cualquier otra liga
Messi, que no irá a entrenar hoy, puede insistir que la cláusula del 10 de junio debería contar el 25 de agosto (la final de la Champions fue el 23). Plan B sería negociar con el Barcelona (con la visita de Jorge) o finalmente romper el contrato y que el FCB le lleve a juicio

Vamos un ‘pequeño’ HILO del tema Messi

Messi no se ha hecho el test PCR esta mañana con la plantilla. Como dijo en su comunicación del 25 de agosto, ya no es jugador del Barcelona. No irá a entrenar mañana. Cree legalmente que tiene la razón, que es un jugador libre ahora mismo
Messi no cree estar en guerra con el club, de hecho lleva dos días esperando la respuesta del club. Se está comportando siguiendo las directrices del contracto que firmó con el Barcelona. Pero quiere una salida amistosa
El club considera el contrato plenamente vigente. En las mismas condiciones de resolución. No hay ninguna cláusula que revise los €700m de la cláusula de rescisión. El presidente no quiere venderle y está dispuesto a sentarse con Jorge Messi pero solo negociará su renovación
