Could never have predicted this trajectory when he was balling for Dortmund. I expected him to struggle more against PL opposition obviously but I still thought he'd be one of the best wingers in the league

He didnt. He got sacked in december that season

Chelsea won it the last time they didn't have any European competition didn't they? Liverpool can also afford not to care too much about the EL.

On the ball he's already one of the very best players in the world and his advanced statistics showcase that pretty well, in the very top percentile as far as dribbling, key passes, shot creating actions, (and whatever creative statistic you can think of) are concerned. His assists number is...

Olivier Giroud is the first one that comes to my mind when I think average player with a bloated record

Ripoll needs to be SACKED this time around. Should've been the case years ago but I don't see how he survives this one. Imagine going into the Olympic Games in your own country with this man as your coach ...

We're playing great. Pen was unfortunate and pretty soft.

The policeman's personal info leaked and nothing about it is suprising. Proudly posing in his military uniform with guns and mentioning how he fought in Afghanistan.

They got that part wrong. Nice's former football director sent an e-mail to Nice's owner to report what Galtier had told him But Galtier allegedly said those words in a private meeting with the football director Which is why the case is a bit tricky as Galtier and his son obviously claim he has...

True. England has an amazing squad as well but I think France's is better and more importantly Ripoll has failed with so many talented squads that he needs to finally win a title to justify him being kept in that position for the past 6 years

Judging by how he worded it in French he clearly means the ability to put in a shift twice a week and be able to recover physically after every game to be 100% ready to do it again on the next week

The squad Sylvain Ripoll has at his disposition is truly ridiculous. Should be fired if he doesn't win this tournament (should've been fired long ago in fact)

Yep he's pretty much talking about the ability to run more and keep a high level of intensity game after game over a season hence why he mentions how he struggled to recover in his playing days. He doesn't really mention strength or contact.

I thought this could spark an interesting debate regarding 90s/early 2000s footie and today's football

Technical failures truly don't matter to reviewers. Just check the metascore of Jedi Survivor which came out two months ago in a terrible state performance-wise That is because the game isn't out yet and review embargo will only lift a few days before it comes out.
