Any manager who chooses Mateo for penalty kicks deserves to lose. The guy is terrible at it and overall in any kind of shooting or trying to get the ball inside the goal. Don't understand Pep's logic behind choosing him.
Telling this as Croatian.
For a defender, his technical skills, IQ, reading of the game, passing and ball control are off the charts.
Just top tier raw talent, when he gets polished under Pep should be a beast.
The guy is as strong as an ox. What are you talking about? This has always been mentioned as one of his strengths.
Where was Laporte at his age? They are not even same planet talent/potential Wise.
You are right. The thing is that Gvardiol likes to take more risks with his passes than players in his position typically do. He always tries to use his passes to put his teammate in a good situation. In one interview, he even said that it's boring for him to constantly play those safe short passes.
