Good example how stats don't tell the whole thing. Just a few goals scored, average assistance number... One might look at those stats and think meh...

But it's a whole 'nother story when you actually watch the matches. Then you know he's a force to be reckoned with when attacking and threatening every time he touches the ball. How he opens space with ease, creating something out of nothing that ends up giving us a shot at scoring.

Some members here thought he was just a brainless runner and how they were wrong.

Dude gets an insane number of hockey assists. Creates a ton of chances, one pass removed.

What a gem. I'm gonna cheer for Brazil in the world cup because of him. If Iran doesn't win the world cup, I hope Brazil will

No way, Brazilians give up after winning smth big. Keep him hungry ))

I wonder if anyone has recorded those stats. Would be interesting to take a look at. Some would count more than others though.

He was the creative force behind the second and third goals but the stats won’t reflect that in any way.

Douglas Costa's first season stats aren't going to be pretty but IMO he's been worth the 45-50mil so far. He's definitely the kind of player you have to watch to see the impact on the game he has

I love how you used if instead of when.

That shift of the ball and quick move to leave Calabria on his ass for the 2nd goal :ID:

And i still do. His assets are dribbling and pace, if he had a brain on top of that he wouldn't go for €45m. Nontheless, he's looking good at the moment

And since when that's "bad"?

So because he was fairly cheap in today's market he can't have a brain? I think there's a bit of prejudice nowadays regarding Brazilian "dribblers and runners". I can understand some of the reason behind all this, the post-Robinho generation is pretty fucking underwhelming, think Bernard, Lucas, Hulk, Marlos, etc... DC is better than all of those and is proving it time and time again.

Dude created basically two goals against Milan from nothing, not too bad for a brain-dead.

You can, but if hes was such a complete package, why are we the only top club that was seriously going for him for such a low (for todays standards) fee? You would have expected top clubs to be all over him.

No prejudice at all, i couldn't care less where he comes from. I based my opinion solely from watching him play, and from what i've seen he's your typical tricky hot & cold winger that comes over pace and dribbling, not over intelligent movement, positioning or passing (inb4 3 minute long youtube compilation). If he had that too, he wouldn't have arrived at Juventus in the first place.

By using what? Pace and dribbling (If we can agree on that every pro footballer should be able to play basic one-two's/cutbacks)

Which us fine, but don't make him out to be that complete jack of all trades attacking player, cause he isn't.

the same question could be asked about Vidal when we sold him, no?

well yeah
I never implied he is a jack of all trades (btw, who apart Ronaldo is good enough to fit this criteria), he is no brain-dead though.
On Sami goal he covered the ball from 3 milan players with his pace and dribbling and found a moment to make a great pass. It was actually quite a smart play.

 

[IliveForJuve]

Pace, dribbling and flair

GOAT.

[edgardavids2608]

A true steal of a player. He gives us such an outlet being able to cut around the iddle of the field and hold the ball to let us get out of our own half. This will be a huge asset against Madrid and any other big team we play. We all know the damage he has around the box. Defenders look scared of him. Been a long time since that has been the case here at Juve
