Claudio Marchisio (73 Viewers)

[Buck Fuddy]

Okay, that makes sense. I didn't realise he was offside when the shot was taken.

Cut me some slack, this football game is new to me

No I mean are there players such as Marchisio in other clubs worldwide?

The ones that to do the dirty work that nobody likes and ones that don't show up in the pitch. In that regard he's probably unique.

There are players that do the dirty work of course and every team has one, but they do real dirty work, not just running around for 90 minutes like headless chickens. They put in fair amount of tackles, recuperate balls, win duels all around the pitch and so on... As for Marchisio last night, little fellow had 1 duel won, 1 tackle and 1 interception, so besides running up and down to close that right side he did nothing what most of other players couldn't do in that position.

Avatar changed, people need to get off his fucking back. Forza Claudio!

Come on now, one of them is bound to turn out good.


Anyhow, am I alone in thinking Marchisio could/should have scored last night? Near the end of the 1st half Casillas spilled a shot which Claudio could have gotten to, but he was sleeping at the time. I was not amused, as following through on shots is really basic stuff.

Offside it was I think.

For you maybe it's new.

His invisible role - yes. It's new.

Almost every club has a player like that. Jesus

Oh please name some players. I bet none of them is as invisible as Marchisio, no matter how dirty their job is.

What are you talking about? The players he rates highly are usually excellent.

Haha, he might not have scored but maybe the second part of my dream I mentioned can come true now.

Who does that at Bayern? Barca? Chelsea? Arsenal?

That is a misleading question.

 

[JCK]

That is a misleading question.

How do you want me to ask it? He said that almost every team have this type of player, I would like to hear some of these names to be honest.

i am surprised why the creatvity level of some juve players like jovinco de ceiglie and marchisio who produced by juve academy is too low.

Who does that at Bayern? Barca? Chelsea? Arsenal?

Bayern and Barca play exceptional possession football and would not have much use for Marchisio.

Arsenal use much praised Arteta/Ramsey/Flamini, who provide balance for the likes of Özil and Cazorla. Do you think any of them would have made a significantly bigger impact than Marchisio last night?

Would you have taken Khedira ahead of Marchisio last night? I'm pretty sure most Real Madrid fans would have liked a swap.

The definition of this type of player is, I think, the slippery part here. Obviously he doesn't have a double(or perhaps we just can't see it and HE HAS!)...
But I do remember both Chelsea and Arsenal sides seemed to have fielded their share of the 'ghost type' when things were going wrong for them...

Dortmund. Real Madrid.

Those Arsenal players you mentioned are very much involved with the team. They are not the same type, especially Arteta.

As for Khedira he's a DM. He was great for Germany (didn't follow much of Real) but again that's far from the same type.

 

[Sadomin]

Dortmund. Real Madrid.

Bender. Khedira. The latter plays a very similar role for both club and country - expected to make runs from midfield.

How is Flamini very much expected to be involved with the team? Don't you think the presence of Pirlo, Pogba and Vidal - on paper a much better midfield, marginalizes Marchisio's role?

I think they are quite different even in their approach towards the game from Marchisio. Marchisio must weight at least 15kg less than Khedira for starters and I am certain that ain't fat...

For Khedira is a bit easier when everyone around you are basicly football wizards. Every team has their own kind of players like these and in every team they play differently, but they have to have them.

The question was: which other teams play players who are expected to run and do the dirty work for others? My answer was: nearly all.

Ours just happens to also have the ability to be a match winner. In the CL.
