If Khvicha Kvaratskhelia ends up leaving Napoli, are there any possible replacements similar to Kvara?
Here are the top 20 similar style players, in leagues with relatively similar styles to Serie A, and teams in those leagues with relatively similar styles to Napoli...

If we look at Kvaradona, he was a young, high-potential prospect that, while incredible, may not have been expected to be THIS good in season 1 in Naples.
Any on this list that meet that? I think so.
I'll look at a few U22 talents with somewhat similar styles to Kvara
Mohamed Daramy. He's on loan from Ajax, and has absolutely killed it in Danmark this season
Ajax bought him for 12 million last summer. So it might be unrealistic, but definitely possible although if Ajax are open to selling... clubs with likely more resources will be in for him
If teams want to get the ball out of the def. 3rd with a goal kick...
... should they boot it from the goal kick, or should they take it short first and THEN boot it long?
Data from 193 teams across 12 leagues.
The answer & method in the thread ๐งต
To answer this, I calculated the completion % of all "long" goal kicks, which I define as going at least 40% of the pitch (about the base of the center circle). I also calculated the completion % of passes going to this area where the preceding action was a goal kick into the box
For example, this pass would be included in the "long pass after short GK".
Short goal kick into the box, then a pass breaking into just before the halfway line.
Also want to say Fox only said this because Messi is a native Spanish speaker and Fox is actively trying to stoke all hatred of any and all Spanish speakers
If he was a French speaker they wouldn't care at all.
They only want to stoke more anti-Spanish/Hispanic rhetoric
