maresca is allowed more control on the field. davids is a good attacker if not as creative as seedorf. he plays very good attacking football, if you have seen him both at ajax and at barca currently.
i would like you to explain your dog comment. somehow ties in with his nickname- pitbull i assume?
its not just overtaking real, dominic. after davids came to barca they started winning, and winning BIG. his defensive ability gave their other players, including ronaldinho more freedom to attack. his defensive abilities were near-flawless in 99.9% of every game he played. he made superb solo attacking runs numerous timesin their last game vs real santander too. pity none of them came to much, but they were threatening nonetheless.
i can say he has been 50% of the cause for barca's success, ronaldinho being the other 50%. in fact ronnie owes his good form to davids who lets him get more support from xavi and co.
was this really the same player who was suffering 'fitness' problems until christmas break? remember who we are talking about: the only player at juve who could run for a full 90 minutes without even breathing hard. didnt play because of fitness problems lippi said
