Justin AragonGUEST
I think you need that in that midfield.
Justin AragonGUEST
I don't think you can have João Neves, Vitinha, and Bruno, who all three players want the ball at their feet.
Justin AragonGUEST
to progress and create chances and dictate the attack.
Justin AragonGUEST
So that's the big problem.
LoconteHOST
While in a team like Arsenal or PSG, he would just be locked in on that team.
LoconteHOST
Can you imagine a midfield of Vitinha, João Neves, and Arda Güler?
Siddharth RamsundarHOST
No, it would be nuts.
LoconteHOST
Sheesh.
Martin TylerHOST
Because of this, Alan Smith, my co-commentator, and I awaited the team news from the home dressing room with sharper interest.
Martin TylerHOST
Sure enough, luminaries like Marquinhos, Désiré Doué, João Neves, and even Khvicha Kvaratskhelia were all parked on the bench, plus France World Cup squad member Warren Zaïre-Emery.
Martin TylerHOST
None of them would come on.
Martin TylerHOST
Increasing competition within the squad is another way of dealing with complacency, and expensive recruits Ferran Torres and Magnus Akliush were both in the 11, as was the mercurial Ousmane Dembélé, who made sure PSG's quest for three in a row started properly.
Steve CerutiHOST
He, he just sprays passes everywhere.
Steve CerutiHOST
He doesn't have any, like, tactical organization for his fellow midfielders, and I think you saw that at the World Cup as well when he was playing with two of the best midfielders in the world in Vitinha and João Neves for Portugal and, and they stunk.
Steve CerutiHOST
Because, I think partially because they have to cover his ass all the time.
Steve CerutiHOST
And then I think, I don't think he had a good game, and he has the antics against Manchester City.
Charlie PerssonHOST
No, but, but I just wanna say there, as you say, Lille, Monaco, Rennes up top, but if we start now, PSG took the first three points, Ferran Torres scoring again, and I think it's a beautiful goal.
Charlie PerssonHOST
Some combination play and then a pass from João Neves, and he shoots from quite far, Torres.
Charlie PerssonHOST
Um, yeah, I mean, impressive start.
Jeff JulinHOST
Yeah, it, yeah, it looked like it, uh, kind of rolled in there.
DanielHOST
...
DanielHOST
João Neves or Hakimi, I know he's a defender in the game, but-
Hayden Noel LewisHOST
Oh, yeah.
Hayden Noel LewisHOST
No, 100%
speaker_8HOST
It's midfield.
Chloe BloxhamHOST
Mine goes Vitinha and João, João Neves.
Chloe BloxhamHOST
So it's, it's more than just bringing in a striker and a winger for me.
Chloe BloxhamHOST
It is, you've got to have people-
Timothy TillmanHOST
But like I also said, it's harder to tell for the new fan to really appreciate how good the midfield can work.
Timothy TillmanHOST
So those players, like you said, João Neves, Vitinha, the Barca midfield, the Spain midfielders, It's hard to tell how good they are, but if you want to get entertained, go watch Due and Olisse, and you'll be fine.
Cameron DickerHOST
Yeah, those guys are incredible.
Cameron DickerHOST
I'm hoping Bradley Barclay signs at Liverpool in these PSG.
Joe DevineHOST
Mm.
Anantaajith RaghuramanGUEST
Because I feel all the PSG players who got in there, and you would think Marquinhos, Pacho, uh, Nuno Mendes, João Neves, Vitinha, all of these guys, I think their stocks took a bit of a beating at the World Cup-
Joe DevineHOST
Yeah
Anantaajith RaghuramanGUEST
... because their teams didn't go that far or as far as they were expected to.
Daniel TilukHOST
with Villa now.
Daniel TilukHOST
But, you know, I think their midfield, everyone would recognize as one of the best in Europe with Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz and João Neves.
Daniel TilukHOST
Dembele is going to give you what Dembele gives you.
Daniel TilukHOST
Cavica is going to give you what Cavica gives you.
