Manuel Locatelli (40 Viewers)

[DanielSz]

he never was a flashy player, rarely decided matches or scored spectacular goals. was deschamps world class? emerson? makelele? yes, all of them. look what happened to real when they sold the latter. were they underrated? of course, the average joe football fan already forgot them. dm's, holding mids or water carriers rarely get any spotlight in general. and it has nothing to do with their quality.

Are you seriously arguing that Marchisio was on Deschamps' and Makelele's level? See this is what I mean by overrated. He was good. He wasn't on that level. Deschamps captained powerhouses, Makelele was one of the most influential mids in the past 20 years.

And he’s only 36 now… Imagine if he had the body of Chiellini, Bonucci or others from that generation as Modric. Was probably still playing here

Maybe he doesnt belong to the elite level of players who dominated their generation

But he for sure was a great player and in his prime he belonged to the best midfielders of those years

no mate. you argued that marchisio wasn't world class because only juve fans rated them. i simply mentioned some severely underrated players to counter that false argument you made. makelele was a class of his own obviously, yet even his own club couldn't rate him. and i remember the discussions with my buddies, they rarely rated him too. i always was a fan of midfielders, my favorite players are mids usually, but the average fan just ignores them. these type of players fly under the radar, that's the point.

For a player playing outside of the Premier league it takes time to get noticed by your average footie fans. He got injured during his prime and because of that injury he didn't spend quite enough time performing at the absolute top level to get the recognition he deserved.

Pirlo only became world class after scoring a panenka against England

hey pavle, nice to have you back

 

[Robee]

so every player that's wanted by a major club is world class now?

Not a, ALL the major clubs, pal. Real Madrid, Man United, Barcelona, etc etc... Try harder.

Post by post he sounds more Pavle-esque.

He’s always had some weird opinions. The Cuadrado hate, for example.

he's all right though, i like him despite juan being easily one of my favorite players of the last decade. i also kinda share his creepy obsession for youth players @Albertmare

People around here have weird notions that if you say Locatelli is better than Marchisio, you hate Marchisio. Grow up ladies. I like Marchisio. It just happens that there are players who are better.

lol the cuadrado hate I don’t remember the last time I even mentioned his name. I’ll take the L for shitting on him in the past.

If memory serves me correctly, marchisio did get a lot of criticism in his younger days. Some would say he was invisible in midfield. He stepped up a level once he started playing in that ridicously good midfield with pirlo and vidal.

Let's hope locatelli gets to play alongside some great midfielders next season.
