@@PythagorasinBoots ill help u out brother
love the content
@@PythagorasinBoots also r u indian by any chance ??
@@PythagorasinBootsYou don't need to show Serie A clips. There's plenty of video's of Calafiori on YT. What we need from you is your analysis
Good video and good to add update at the end about his bayern time. Can you also add players injuries or recovery in future videos please?
De Ligt is coming back to the coach that made him in the first place💪
No one made nobody,it is called help.If not than go tell them to make another one.
always putting out exactly what need in the perfect time. First ugarte now De Ligt- you are legend. Hope I'm not being too greedy here but Zirkzee video would be fantastic
Will add to list
As a United fan those videos came in the right time, and answered many questions about these players
@@PythagorasinBootszirkzee is must bro!!
Man united's medical team will have to work over time next season.
we might be cooked
I'd argue at 24, De Ligt will have the ability to recover from long term injuries with minimal chance of reoccurring. 42m for De Ligt, who in my opinion is above and beyond a better player than any of our other targets, is a very reasonable price.
@@brendanm4740 it will definitely above 50 with addons. Still an absolute steal imo
@@BlazySM-qp4yn Fabrizio said 50mil euros so united are looking to structure a deal where they pay 40mil euros then the rest as add ons.
@@brendanm4740thats what you lot said about Martial😂😂😂
We need a Califiori video. Pythagoras do your things 🎉
Ronald Araujo is topping or 2nd in every single metric shown there. I wonder if your verdict on Araujo have changed from before
yeah he’s been cooking at barca besides some rash decisions. maybe koundé at rb helps him or smth
@@RedForDanger.Nah trust me it's Araujo being let down by Kounde😂
@@RedForDanger.Araujo is by dar the best defender in the world only he ball playing need brushing up.
@@Don-Royall Dirty player imo. Defensively the best...yes. Though not the best DEFENDER in the world overall. Van Dijk still is imo.
@@benjaminsehr2566 Like I said he is by far the best defender defensively.
The beat overall defender in the world is
1. Bastoni
2. Arajuo
A combination of Araujo and Bastoni would be the greatest thing as they are about the same age.
Funny thing is Bastoni is also the second best defender defensively but best at ball playing, ao it would give Arajuo time to full develop his ball playing and it would be a left and right footed combination with is amazing for build up angles.
Awesome vid as usual, can we do Calafiori next!!!
de ligt has had an interesting career so far. tauted as the next big thing at ajax, it seems as if his subsequent clubs are absolutely fine with letting him go
I absolutely love your channel bro. Your ball knowledge is incredible. Love
I appreciate that!
Do one for cubarsi please
Dutch MAGUIRE.
I FELT LIKE I WAS THE ONLY ONE FEELING HE WAS GIVING ME A MAGUIRE VIBE
Hell no he’s actually aggressive and wins balls and way more mobile. Maguire is extremely slow and passive only thing similar is their Frame.
Your videos are brilliant really well done and much appreciated thank you 👍
Glad you like them!
Always love your videos! I really want De Ligt to fulfil his potential at United❤🔥👹
Is this a report of the one you did a couple years ago?
New stats from Bayern
Lol I thought I was watching the same video
Great content great channel! Try to do an analysis of Angelo Stiller, one of the most underrated players of this season (Stuttgart also very underrated). I know you loved those deep line playmakers and Stiller is a great one! He's very good at press resistant, an incredible work rate and stamina and he also possesses solid defensive skills. Overall really complete and UNDERRATED defensive midfielder with great potencial. Rodri at 22/23 years old didn't performed like Stiller! Keep up the fantastic work!
I think he would definitely compliment Martinez quite well, especially if United become more possession-focused, although having a defender with a more calm, sweeping presence like Varane offered would still be good as an option. Yes De Ligt's passing might not be quite as incisive as Martinez's, but the most important trait I can see in De Ligt is his vision. He's generally making the right passing decisions, and has excellent awareness of where his teammates are and where the threats will be. As we've seen with so many of United's players recently, you can teach and train technique, but you can't un-stupid someone. United's wingers especially are guilty of horrifically poor decision making despite their technical ability, whilst their defenders are prone to individual moments of complete idiocy. My only major concern about De Ligt is whether his front-foot style of defending and relative lack of pace might be an issue when paired with an equally aggressive front-foot defender like Martinez. Maybe if they both remain injury-free and can develop an excellent understanding with each other this would be great for United, but I could also see it potentially placing huge emphasis on Onana to sweep up massive amounts of space behind, considering the PL's willingness to smash the ball forwards over the press.
Thank you for this brilliant content, keep up the great work! Pls could we get a zirkzee vid
Now we want a Kendry Paez video
I would Love to See a xavi Simons one! Thank you for your Great videos!
This video looks almost 2 years old
I think he used clips for an older video because at one point he said “he will do more of this at Bayern” or something like that.
Mate I've just discovered your channel and I love it. I know you only talk about current players, but could you talk about what made prime Arturo Vidal so good?
More of these updates please, fantastic content as always
Thanks! Will do!
Are the on-screen stats updated or same as the original video?
Updated
Waiting for an Archie Gray analysis! Would love to see what player it projects to be
You know I like your content Raees. My inputs are as follows:
- Too much on emphasis on VVD / primary CB. Vidic was arguably the best the PL has ever seen - even if Ligt hasn’t got his obvious defensive talent you don’t need to be a good long passer / *insert single fancy trait* to be a great defender. VVD has weaknesses too in his constant backing off and seeming fear of being beaten.
- 73 seems like a very low rating as this guy’s max potential. Even if he doesn’t live up to the Ajax hype (remember many great defenders have been at medium clubs at his age) he’s still playing for Bayern at a big stage.
73 puts him as close to generational, which is not a low rating at all. You really think he is above generational?
But is he fast enough? Apart from injuries, wages, my worry is pace. United need that beside Martinez IMO.
Great video
I think what's key for De Ligt he has a presence on the field. He is one of the bravest and toughest defender I've ever seen. He is a natural leader but his character is too much for most of the coaches.
Probably that's why they don't put him out with Van Dijk for Netherlands. While Van Dijk is declining and his mental part of the game is nowhere near of De Ligt nowadays I think that huge gap between the two players bottom level and max potential is not justified.
Maybe you will say that Van Dijk is more athletic, smarter and has better positioning but there are some key differences between the two guys. De Ligt is saving his team in the most important moments from goals. He is calm, his body language, confidence and calmness is something you can't teach, you know that you have an exceptional teammate when you have De Ligt around and it's a solid foundation to communicate with teammates. There were more ferocious defenders than him like Pepe or Rio Ferdinand so their opponents feared them and even some of their teammates, however the presence of De Ligt commands respect like the presence of Puyol.
But what's more important he is a guy that make you believe you can win anything with him at the back because he is like a modern Vidic plus it's a bonus he played for Ten Hag in their great CL season. He probably had the chance to learn a lot from great defenders like Bonucci and Chiellini.
Plus don't forget he is only 24 years old.
I believe you have a lot of numbers and tactical analysis to back up your claims but this guy is exceptional. They just don't let him shine for Netherlands because of Van Dijk and in Bayern Tuchel didn't like him and that transition between Lewa and Kane wasn't easy plus Upamecano was very bad. I think if he had a partner like Süle or Alaba his Bayern career would have been a lot different.
The performance of a defender depends a lot on his teammates and Kim Min-jae couldn't really settle well. Upamecano is not Bayern level. Even Kimmich had better days and he lacks athleticism and physicality while the problems around Alphonso Davies had their results. I just think you could put a prime Maldini or Cannavaro into this team and they would have serious issues too in that environment.
However, with Lisandro he will have a great partnership. Two mentally strong guys. A left-footed quicker smaller guy with decent technique will complement De Ligt a lot better than big right footed defenders who clearly have problems when they have the ball.
if United try to purchase Goncalo Inacio from Sporting, would he complement De Ligt perfectly? As far as what I've been seeing so far in Inacio, he's more of a sweeper that is really good in terms of technical abilities including almost all type of passing, progressing the ball, ball carrying, and he's more of a defender that intellegently uses his anticipation rather than does reckless challenges, his interception and position are quite standout. He's probably more of a ''calmer" defender comparing with the likes of De Ligt himself, Lisandro Martinez, Araujo, etc. What do you think? Correct me if I'm wrong though, it's just my perspective on him, i could be wrong. If you have any plan to do a deeper analysis on him and his playing style, please do some tactical analysis on Inacio in the future as well. He's a really exciting player to follow, still so young yet underrated imo
y would we do that wen lisandro is way better on the ball and is aggressive and not scared of contact like inacio plus hes 60 mill and i would rather get branthwaite for that whos way fast stronger 6ft5 and can play rcb n lcb instead of inacio who i dont trust in a back 4 plus doesnt suit lisandro at all and u can never ply them together ever
@@Arg.10 well, lisandro has a history of playing in rcb some times when he was still at ajax and he played well in that position, with ten hag was there as well obviously. So, if there's an emergency situation when De Ligt and Kambwala are injured at the same time and only Lisandro and Inacio that are available, Ten Hag can put Lisandro as rcb and Inacio as LCB. Adding to that, purchasing 60m for Inacio will be more worth it than bringing Branthwaite for the same price. Branthwaite might be pretty strong defensively and physically, but that doesn't mean Inacio are not strong enough or worse defensively, Inacio is still strong and he has great defensive qualites. Branthwaite is too stiff and too awkward on the ball especially when he's getting pressed by opponents, his passing ability is also average, he is still so limited with the ball at his feet, and he's not as good as what a 60m CB should be. Meanwhile Inacio is more reliable, versatile as he can be a lb as well, technically really good, can play in the 4 defenders system, great in reading the game, intellegent, composed, has shown some good positional awareness and making crucial interceptions and perfectly timed tackles as well. If Ten Hag are trying to change United to become a transition and possesion based system that plays with high line defence, Inacio will be better suited for United and Ten Hag, and 60m for him would be a bargain since he's still really young, the same age as Branthwaite actually, 22, and he's even more reliable than Branthwaite. Inacio is quite ideal physically as well, he's 1,85m in height with 78 kg in weight, he's good in terms of physical for a CB, he still can bully the attackers if it's needed in some specific situations. Inacio can be a perfect and natural understudy to Lisandro since the similarities in their technical abilities, he can learn directly from Lisandro who's more experienced. So United has to go for Inacio than Branthwaite. Also, United need another Rio Ferdinand's style of CB to compliment the aggressive ones. I wouldn't change my mind, Inacio is what United really needs than Branthwaite.
Opinions on Savinho from girona ? Also kimmich would be great , playing rb for germany now
Please do an video on Archie Gray Tottenham's new singing 🙏
Is this longtime video?
what about his lack of pace? That is a major concern of mine especially if he partnered with Martinez. very injury prone aswell.
Calafiori next please
How do you think he'd physically complement Licha? Will they be prone to getting exposed if United play with a very high line? And aerially, is it too big a downgrade from Varane's aerial dominance?
He's better than Varane aerially. The only worry is his channel depending in a high line system but hes not poor in that regard hes just not world class in that regard due to his pace which isn't much of an issue either. I think overall he would be a really good bit of business for united and if we add Ugarte and Zirkzee or any decent striker i think weve had a good window any exyra signings would be a bonus although we do need more than 3.
@@SuperHarl007 Nah mate. In Europe's top 5 leagues, Varane was in the 97th percentile for aerial duel percentage and de Ligt was only in the 55th percentile. Varane is MILES clear. I like de Ligt, but I'm really keen on ensuring we sign aerially dominant players, especially considering how poor we can be from set pieces.
@@SuperHarl007no he is not, the stats shows a disparity between the two and Varane wins
@@Michael.Koulibaly fair enough but the eye test suggests he is no slouch either.
@@SuperHarl007 For sure, he's only 24 so hopefully he can progress in that area especially alongside Licha where he'll need to take charge in that regard.
Will you put Gabriel among the top 10 center backs in the world right now because his ranks in this video compared to the other center backs are low?
And also the next one Mikel Merino I would like to know if he will be a good fit for Barcelona
Brother qll his updated stats are pretty decent though. The opinions seemed out of places
I think everybody is waiting for a Xavi Simons video😅
Bro shows only juve clips aka u just re-used the same video for when he moved to Bayern
As we said in intro updated stats as we are busy making new videos
Please do KDH, he seems like a low key baller
Can you do Tosin Adabiroyo
Pythag who do you think is the most underated player in world football?
Do one on garnacho
Archie gray video?
Jaden philogene maybe?? I realize this would be a low priority one but would love to see it
Low priority if you’re a casual
@@CodPatrol Im saying low priority because there are tons of other young stars that they havent done yet. Don’t get offended and call me a casual just because I said a player that you like is most likely not a CZcamsrs #1 priority to do a video on.
@@diegogonzalezvazq not offended, it’s just weird that all the best players are low priority
@@CodPatrol you aren’t making sense.
Most people probably want other youngsters that are higher profile first e.g. yamal, Páez, wze, etc. and I wouldn’t be surprised if those players are higher on their list. Maybe not but it’s all my original comment was saying. It seemed to offend you
Could you do a review on benfica’s Antonio Silva?
Any analysis on ARCHIE GRAY?
Pls do a Mudryk updated after 6 months into the new season.
You REALLY missed a trick by not putting Varane on the list... so United fans realise what they've actually missed out on and how we have been given a worse defender. Younger but worse...
Can we get an Archie Gray video now that hes moving to spurs
I don't get the more juve comparisons, what of the bayern comparisons? those would have been more helpful if added yk..
Would love to see you do a Julian Alvarez
Can you do a video on Nico Schlotterbeck?
Can you Please do a video on MANU AKANJI 🔥🔥🙌🏽🙌🏽
Can we please do an Archie Gray analysis ?
Please do Amad Diallo
Can you do a video about the upcoming rising talent pavlovic?
De Ligt is going to be immense for United
In the treatment room?
Do Calafiori my man!
can you reupload yamal with updated potential as well
Do an update on Ronald Araujo please
Can you do a Saliba/Gabriel video
CALAFIORI next please mate
Downgraded to 73 max??! Thats dirty, Pythag! Imo he is a 78 max even now
For some reason players linked with United are suddenly not world class. 😂
An intergenerational defender doesn't get benched by De Vrij and passed around big clubs like a blunt.
Pls can you do a tosin adarabioyo video
We need a Doku video
Ricardo Calafiori next please
Make video about this guy califiori of Italy
How araujo is almost on all the list here, he is actually great
What do you mean how, Araujo is by far the best duel defender in the world.
Anthony gordon please!!!
Do a video for Xavi Simons
please make a video on some romanian & eastern european countries & some african & some oceanian countries players and their playing style if possible asian too
Ricardo Calafiori video please
He mentioned on his twitter that he's already working on it. Very soon I believe.
A compliment each other with licha martinez in man utd.
Do you think Utd could have signed someone better ??
Thank you for face revealing to us
I don't know i'm kinda wary of him. If he was so good as some of you are suggesting he wouldn't be on the transfer list at another top club.
Crazy how 2 years declined his potential
Anthony Gordon please
archie gray next please
Rodrygo next?
Do one on Dewsbury- Hall
I've missed the boat on that one, too late, my thoughts are on Twitter.
@@PythagorasinBootsi enjoyed the playback stream u were on with Alex Goldberg the other night. Even as a non-chelsea fan, i found it insightful and a lot of my predictions for Chelsea’s set up under Maresca matched up with you. Just a quick question btw, I’ve seen that Lacroix is available this summer for a transfer. What’s your opinion on him?
Joshua zirkzee pls❤,🙏
its a sensible transfer
He dropped bad. from being one of the Best young cb's itw to this.
Can you do analysis on Aleks Pavlovic ?
Talented player
he was a starter in a UCL semi final in Bernabeu yet nobody talks about him, he's amazing
his ability at making line breaking passes reminds me of Sergio Busquets
You under rate him. De Ligt is at least cl level. But I think generational or even inter generational.
Inter galactic
waiting for xavi simons
Please do ricardo
We want KDH
atleast we getting de ligt am sure u as well wanted him more then that branthwaite fella
overhyped player
Barca should go after him if Araujo leave
Finally!Thank You,PIB
👌🏼
Archie gray NEXT
This channel has grown massively
Archie Gray - new Tottenham signing next pleaseeeeeeee
JOSHUA ZIRKZEE !!!
bayern made a big mistake selling this guy
