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.
ZlatanHOST
Ah, bro, we are building a perfect team to win the UCL.
ZlatanHOST
Imagine PSG pulling up with Vitinha, Joao Felix, Fabian Ruiz, make we forget about Gavi.
ZlatanHOST
Bro, stop the Lamasia gimmick, man.
ZlatanHOST
When Frankie's available, it's a Frankie, Pedri-
DanielHOST
... my God.
Hayden Noel LewisHOST
No, I mean, even, um, Vitinha played, didn't he, but didn't end up with any returns.
Hayden Noel LewisHOST
And we've kind of seen in the Champions League where, I mean, I've tended to steer clear of Vitinha 'cause I never really know where his points are gonna come from.
DanielHOST
Yeah.
Hayden Noel LewisHOST
But, but then he'll have a game where he scores a free kick and player of the match.

Hayden Noel LewisHOST
Like, if you went with two of those PSG boys, you've effectively missed out on two 10-plus pointers.
DanielHOST
Yeah.
DanielHOST
And even if you'd gone for Vitinha-
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-
Cameron DickerHOST
So, yeah, sorry, buddy.
Cameron DickerHOST
But going there, it's just like, How does that team not succeed more considering the level of talent in the midfield that can control that game with Bruno Fernandes, you have Vitinha, Joel Pedro, you have Nuno Mendes at left back, Ruben Diaz.
Cameron DickerHOST
Yes, you have such a great team.
Cameron DickerHOST
Like the entire team you can go through and be like, ballers.
Timothy TillmanHOST
The Barca midfield or the Spain midfield is so underrated.
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.
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.

Alex BarkerPANELIST
Every goal is a direct attack going straight down the middle.
Joe DevineHOST
Mm.
Alex BarkerPANELIST
They've been using their first choice midfield, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz, Neves.
Alex BarkerPANELIST
They have never looked as small and as slow as they have done in Ligue 1.
Chuck SmithHOST
You had Desiree Douay, Bradley Barkola.
Chuck SmithHOST
You had that midfield duo of Vitinha and Joao Neves.
Chuck SmithHOST
I mean, those guys all together... were just incredible, and it showed by them winning the Champions League for the second year in a row.
Chuck SmithHOST
But Havoc Scalia was the one that I think was the best player overall for them.
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.
ArunaHOST
But if you want to get the best out of a player like that, you have to give him that free will to be able to walk the system.
ArunaHOST
But when you try to control it, having players like Vitinha, what was happening in that walk-up? Vitinha and Juaneves doing side-to-side passes for most of the
DaluHOST
game.
DaluHOST
Bruno doesn't sound like a problem child.
DaluHOST
Like, the heavily controlled and possession-based system, having those Retina guys.
ArunaHOST
You're trying to break down people with players that are not necessarily great at breaking down players.
ArunaHOST
Guaneves and Vitinha worked perfectly because they had wingers that could actually beat people one-on-one.
ArunaHOST
That was not the same thing for Portugal.
CharlieHOST
individually, pair the midfielders in Europe and then you check the midfielders in the list.
CharlieHOST
When you mention the midfielders in the list, the likes of Vini, I mean, Vitinha and Birmingham and Fabian Ruiz, who comes next? It is him.
CharlieHOST
But it didn't even warrant him a name in the top 30.
CharlieHOST
Now, collective effort, he can tell you that he won trophies.
