Rodrigo Bentancur (24 Viewers)

[edgardavids2608]

If he wants to learn how to become a goalscoring central midfielder, he should learn from the best and watch Arturo Vidal, Yaya Toure, Steven Gerrard...

LOL watching film wont help near as much as another great player who trains next to you every day. Why listen to sarri when you could watch peps teams play!!

The best part about Bent is that selling him will never be worth it so he should be a lifer if he has the abilities. Future captain.

Bentancur: “I am working hard to find spaces in the penalty area, I am learning from Khedira who is extraordinary in this and in fact he scores 7-8 goals per season” via @tuttosport

It showed last match.

Good. If a midfielder is making FW runs it should be him rather then Matuidi or Rabiot.

 

[Bianconero81]

What if kehdira returns and bench everybody, forcing a sale on beteancur

You should be permabanned for even suggesting something as disgusting and ludicrous as this

 

[Nedved96]

Good. If a midfielder is making FW runs it should be him rather then Matuidi or Rabiot.

Rabiot scored a goal against Zidane’s Real Madrid a few years ago by making a run in the penalty area, with his right foot as well.

Matuidi should be permabanned from crossing the halfway line.

Hopefully today again a bossperformance - Go Benta

 

[Kopanja]

Bad game from the kid, even though he had an assist.

 

[4ndr3i]

That pass was the best thing our team did all game.

the whole team was bad, i think he played a good game before pjanic went off. our biggest talent in midfield

Yeah, the whole team sucked

 

[OsorioLopes]

I didn't like Bentancur, but it's been improving a lot. It was not an exceptional game, but he defended well and made this incredible long pass. More than goals I miss that in your game.

 

[Andrea_Pirlo_10]

His assist was absolut incredible but he needs to step up in those matches,especially after Pjanic went off he should have shown who is the boss in the midfield.

 

[duranfj]

He's improving a lot, still learning but he's being used in two different positions so not so easy to get both perfect yet

 

[Post Ironic]

Poor match, but that pass was genius. If only our coach didn't actually claim to hate long balls, and who would incorporate more long balls over the top to Ronaldo in our tactics. Something the GOAT thrives on, and something all of Bonucci, Pjanic, and now Bentancur can accurately place.

 

[Afghan_juventus]

Has Pjanic provided an assist like for CR7 since he joined the club?

We attempted alot of long passes this match mainly from Bonucci . But went all in vain.
His long balls somehow lost their accuracy.

Bonucci attempted 6, 3 of which were successful. It's not none at all, but it's also not a lot.

Bentancur has dropped from 2.1 long passes/game last year to 1.6 this year. Pjanic has dropped from 5.8 long passes/game to 3.8 this year. Bonucci has only dropped from 5.7 long passes/game last year to 5.6 this year, but he had a terrible year last year. If you go back to his last decent year in 16-17 before he went to Milan, he averaged 7.9 long passes that year.

We've shifted away from the tactic pretty substantially imo. Against some opponents that can be a good thing, against others not so much...

i quoted sarri in the pjanic thread saying that according to him, long passes are too risky. these stats are a pure consequence of a tactical decision.

I was trying to recall where I'd seen that quote. Thanks for the reminder.

There it is:

I don’t think the long ball is a great idea, partly because we don’t have many strikers who are strong in the air, but also because it can get us 6-7 goals per season, but I believe will also lead to us conceding another 10.

It's funny Sarri said this, considering our defence right now is the worst it's been in 8 years, while avoiding these long balls. I can't imagine how many goals we would concede if we started using long balls again. 31 in 21 games?

I don't know what you are talking about, it's obvious that we have improved everywhere.
