The overwhelmingly bias mindset here hurts.
Making comparisons that really ought not to be made, and now we're saying losing our best and only injury free CB to Milan is no biggie, because some Milan bench player can defend better than Alves, the same Alves that shut down Neymar twice. MDS hasn't been able to do that to Serie A 'wingers' ffs

I'm sure he'll come good here, but these comparisons are insane
And FYI no you can't compare MDS to Barzagli, Barzagli obviously exceeded expectations and was an amazing piece of business but the idea he was some shit player is unfounded. He helped Wolfsburg win a league title in the biggest 1 team league after current Serie A ffs.
