We all know how difficult it is to compare players because of their different positions, different skills, different attitudes, ...today. So it's even far more difficult to compare players from different generations. Mbappe is fast, skillful, agile, has days were it all looks brilliant, has days...

I hope I am wrong, but I think that some of the players (f.i. Pogba,...) will have serious problems to adapt themselves all the time at the new tactics.1 game, 2 games,...allright but constantly? Being unselfish most of the time needs another state of mind.

Total football started in Holland It was in the early seventies. Ajax (with Cruyff, Neeskens,...) and the national team led by Rinus Michiels

I think technical devices (VAR, cameras,...) changed the game as well. Players know they are being watched all the time and everywhere where they are. Tackles are judged in a different way, handball, offside,... It makes it more correct, but doesn't it kill the game partly?

The way the goalkeeper is involved within the game has changed the last 20years.

This post was very helpful, thanks a lot.

Rangnick used to play in a 4 - 2 -2 -2 formation (to be able to put pressure on the opponent with the ball as quick as possible all over the field). Do we have the players to play the game that way?

The Belgian newspapers 11,5 million euros (= £10 million) 14,5 million euros a year ...

On that moment Benteke was 23 years old.

We get a little bit more than 10 million. Fellaini gets 13,5 million a year (he will sign a contract for 3 years)

A lot of Flemish football analysts don't like him at all neither (is it because he only played for a Walloon team, namely Standard de Liège?), but they al agreed that Belgium missed him so hard against Switzerland because of the characterisitcs mentioned above. He brings something to team that...

He might go on for another five years. He is a real athlete, a real sportsman, so strong and so focused and living in the real world.

He will talk to Fellaini, because they haven been friends for more than 10 years. They both started at the samen time at Standard de Liège (together with Defour).

The first hour was great and the gap between defenders and midfield wasn't that large as you might think, they did a terrific job. The problem is that too many players couldn't maintain the efforts (the organisation)on the pitch. We played against a very strong team away.
