I guess that's where Pep will deploy Fernandinho first, given what we've seen so far, so unfortunately Aleix's place at best will be on the bench initially.Really hope he gets a start vs. Sunderland. He could really help out the CB's and who ever the keeper is bringing the ball out from the back. Out of all our CM's he already has the most composure when bring pressed imo.
have a look at his passing compilation. basically ridiculous
the next pirlo maybe
from my observations in the friendlies he seems to be the only one who has picked up easily what pep is asking his deeper midfielders to do. fernando and even dhino to a lesser extent seem to have trouble understanding the role.Good vid.
His passing is special. Hopefully plays a sizable role in the squad this season. Could learn a lot from Pep.
That pass at 8:19 for the assist was extraordinary. Had to watch it a few times, the defense was dissected.
