Aymeric Laporte - 2018/19 performances

[schfc6]

Midway through the second half he brought the ball down on his chest whilst running at speed with a man on his back playing it calmly back to Ederson.
Amazing piece of skill/composure.

Yeah it certainly was. I was right behind. Superb bit of play.

Almost perfect, almost.

One sloppy pass aside (what the fuck was that attempt by the Southampton player) he was very good again.

It was ridiculous, the ball came from behind him. And it still came down on his chest. It didn't make sense!

I thought he brought it down with his shoulder, not his chest. Either one, it was still a nice bit of skill considering a Southampton player was a few yards away from him.

It was the best piece of skill I’ve seen from a central defender for a long long time.

What a player!

My POTS so far I reckon

Otamendi did a brilliant peice of chest control ..then balanced on his knee a couple of times. Before calmly laying the ball off.at utd a couple of years back,on the edge of the utd penalty area, but that was from a standing position. ..i think he was taking the piss tbh

The best ive ever seen from any player was Paul Gascoigne during an u21 match england v scotland...he basically ran past 3 scots midfielders who had closed him down with the ball glued to his chest....chest stuck out,both hands out stretched in front of him for balance...outrageous bit of skill ....no one could get near him.

 

[Delphinho]

Once again left out of Frances squad, while bums like Adil Rami and Sakho made it. Deschamps clearly doesn`t like him for some reason. Saw that one of Laporte's former coaches said that he doesn`t "engage with the collective", he`s a loner and awkward.

Laporte is for me the best CB in the P/L and one of, if not the best, in world football. Perhaps Laporte simply needs a bit more time performing at his current level as a City player to break into France's squad.
