Balde was my favorite player in 22/23 he was so exciting to watch, but this season he was straight up bad ngl, i hope he gets his form back under Flick.
He wasn`t as bad as Cancelo, Balde was critised for being unable to cross but to be fair the whole team was straight up garbage. If you saw the last few games, especially the Girona, El Clasico and the PSG match you`d understand why I singled out Cancelo and the fact that he was the Balde replacement. I think Felix and Balde were unfairly critised this season. But then again that`s just one man`s opinion.
@@thatGuyFean When u are playing cancelo, it's based on the assumption that he is not gonna offer much help defensive duty as a fullback or even wingback. So that means u play with three cb(arajuo, kounde, cubarsi). So question is not, if cancelo is good or bad. question is does this team need cancelo or not. Coming to balde he was downright bad this particular season. I hope balde get back his form. Also kounde was really good and very underrated as Rb + cb
He will. Flick will use him to underlap instead of overlap by getting a proper touchline winger like Nico. This will allow Balde to attack the inside space in transition and then have the option to dish it wide in the final 3rd to lamine or Nico.
Balde wasn't playing as well because joao cancelo was playing too far up/in the midfield leaving him to have to defend so there aren't just 2 defenders
Exactly what I was thinking, Balde was playing badly not just because his formed had dropped but also because of the new system. In the previous system with B.A.C.K, Balde could push forward freely without worrying too much about defending because Kounde Araujo and Christensen were going to form a back three and cover for him. But with Cancelo, we lost that defensive solidity at the back, making Balde lose confidence when going forward.
Balde was surely missed last season I honestly forgot he even played cause it felt like he was injured whole season and as much as I sure we're going to enjoy euros and copa I can't wait for the new season to start New coach Hopefully new players Can't wait to play in our stadium again Then you have the young players again and to see whose next if any new la masia players emerge next season
we also need to STOP looking at balde as an attacking fullback we have hector fort who can invert and do all that balde is one of the best defensive fullbacks like when was the last time you saw this guy get pocketed? let him play to his strengths black and fast fullback ≠ davies
Balde is a good attacking fullback who underlaps the wingers in transiton. This is counter to what Xavi wanted him to do which is overlap. Think his best runs last year wgere he drop through the middle of the field and then dished it wide to the attackers in the final 3rd to score. This is what Flick will have him do becauss unlick Xavi flick likes touchline wingers. I also see flick wanting Balde to underlap a Nico W on the left and trying to get a Frimpong to overlap Lamine on the right. Since lamine cuts in having an overlaping attacking fullback on the right is smart. Alos Balde and Frimpong have the super speed to win the ball back in defensive transition without getting caught in 1v1 duels. This allows flick to play his high line.
This is exactly why i think Flick is looking at a balde LB frimpong option at RB because both are lightening fast and their recovery speed is huge when pressinh high. Plus Balde is actaully a good defender much better then Davies is
balde will work way better than davies ever did under the correct situation: >higher ceiling >wayyyy more solid defensively and just as good in carrying >bad in that final cross/opposition box takeon but nico williams completely fixes that as he is a take on DEMON
Remember that Spain cup final clásico when Balde and Gabi run riot on Madrid it forced Madrid to go buy younger players like Jude and others also The season Barca won the last liga title was big part because Balde had a break through season then he fell off and got injured hopefully Flick can whip him back into shape.
Bro tried to give xavi credit wtf 😂😂😂 koeman made balde work... xavi had no choice as alba had left the club and blade arguably got worse under Xavi and after a while xavi stopped playing balde
I feel like you're defending Xavi a bit too much in this video and putting it more on Balde. Balde cannot cross that good which is fair that isn't Xavi's fault, but tactically Balde flopped this season cause of Xavi it's that simple.
Xavi’s tactics definitely didn’t help. But that’s also because Balde was not good at what Xavi asked him to do. He isn’t a great one on one attacker and needs to improve on that if he were to fit the Davies profile as well as possible
It ain't that scary, my guy. A great player who hopefully progresses to prime Davies level. But how Davies annihilated Barca that season was 50% him/hansi and 50% how bad barca was. Scary is a superlative.
so 1 year for flick to prepare the players and maybe we can play for something the year after it... also no for nico he is not good enough not worth the money
Davies is so good he got benched by guerreiro 🤦♂️ balde is similar though, all offense and no defense. His unwillingness to play it will see him gone unless he fixes it
Balde is never going to reach the levels of Davies, he isn't as naturally talented on the ball, he doesn't have the same vision Davies has, He is way slower than Davies, He isn't as strong, he isn't as good 1 on 1 and he isn't as strong nor does he have the same gas tank or the same defending iq and these are things that Balde will never learn Davies is one of a kind no manager can replicate him even if Balde is a similar profile
@OmarAli-mh2jm people are blinded with fifa potential. Balde is a cheap version of davies. Literally worse in every way but that's not necessarily bad because davies is a beast. Comparing them is what's bad. U can't teach certain things you either have it or u don't and davies has it whilst balde doesn't
Balde is a great defensive fullback but, not attacking fullback like Davies (still can be improve). You just hating on the kid. He just had his first season in the first team. Barca is NOT madrid, we develop players NOT just buying finished product.

Facts, he was always on point defensively.

Nah he was actually bad. Let’s not forget that even when he got the chance to get forward and create, his crosses/delivery were horrendous this year.
@@chuka6625 it was only that year. Plus he’s still 19 , give him a break
Exactly go back and watch him in preseason and at the beginning of the year before cancelo arrived. He was so good.
Balde was surely missed last season I honestly forgot he even played cause it felt like he was injured whole season and as much as I sure we're going to enjoy euros and copa I can't wait for the new season to start
New coach
Hopefully new players
Can't wait to play in our stadium again

So? That makes him even better
@@WhiscashFC_amp exactly
but that means he needs to use his carrying into the final third instead of that cross which he has never good at
davies is better than balde at defending, not even close
@@Mushroomy509Lol. You must be high on mushrooms or you just want to talk utter nonsense
not only did we get the long awaited closet tour, we also got this banger 🎉
I hope he doesn't get Pedri effect and recovers smoothly for now
This is exactly why i think Flick is looking at a balde LB frimpong option at RB because both are lightening fast and their recovery speed is huge when pressinh high. Plus Balde is actaully a good defender much better then Davies is
balde will work way better than davies ever did under the correct situation:
>higher ceiling

Who said we're getting Nico?
yes balde shouldnt be our LW he needs to be a overlapping fullback. and he needs help. on the left cuz last season we just let him all alome
Higher ceiling? What? Balde got ballon d'or potential or something?
As a Canadian and a Barcelona fan, this was one of my favorite videos from you
Always got notifications on for a Robby Lou vid 🔥
One big difference between them is injure prone and in that aspect Balde needs to improve that
😂😂😂 injury prone man its one injury as for davies go check how many he has had recently
He will be more Insane than Davies.
You should do a video about Sergiño Dest, he had amazing potential
He’s injured
ik, he's still at the club tho
Abra abra Cadabra we are gonna be so back brah 💙❤️
Hope i can sing this one day 🙂
@@Comments_opinions yes brother visca barca
2 videos in 1 night 🥶🥶 WWWW

We locked in for Spain vs Croatia watch-along or nah ?!
Bro just jinxed it💀
Underrated as hell bro 🙏💯
Balde is just bad in the final third in attack he better at stopping counter attacks. Hopefully he can improve
I like this kid - both Balde & the content creator
You deserve a million subs 😢as a Barca fan you're my favorite please do a collaboration with Jamie's Talkfcb 😢
Would be great if barca get frimpong and williams🤤🤤🤤
Best deal is kimmich and nico
I trust in Balde to grow but Alphonso Davies is the profile of players Barça should be signing.
Bro you are making really Great content keep it up
No way 2 vids let’s goo
Bro tried to give xavi credit wtf 😂😂😂 koeman made balde work...
xavi had no choice as alba had left the club and blade arguably got worse under Xavi and after a while xavi stopped playing balde

But how Davies annihilated Barca that season was 50% him/hansi and 50% how bad barca was.
Scary is a superlative.
Sure it’s not scary but it’s weird how they are literally exactly the same
Scary how he might join madrid this summer
Keep up the good work brother 🤍🤍
For one here lads 😅
Where this Gavi Tshirt from?
Roludesigns.com !
Today found your channel
Well, Davies was a winger
The reason balde didn't play much under koeman was because he was injured for like half of the whole season.
where’s the barca career mode
so 1 year for flick to prepare the players and maybe we can play for something the year after it... also no for nico he is not good enough not worth the money

Yo Paolo how you doing?!
