so you are expecting him to never lose the ball, allways take balls away without fouling, get past 5-6 players all the time and on top of that score every chance he has. you are aware that we are talking about a 20 year old that has about 7-8 years before reaching his prime.
I will post some stats of his allegedly bad performance:
49 passes, 85% completion, 9 duels won, 8 recoveries, 1 tackle, 1 interception, 1 created chance
Marchisio who according to most had a good game and I wholeheartedly agree:
36 passes, 89% completion, 3 duels won, 8 recoveries, 3 tackles, 2 inteceptions, 0 created chances.
