david luiz bro
he's as hardcore as it gets

2bh, as much as I like seeing hard tackles and fearless players, if it means referees have to be ultra-lenient toward these guys with reputations as enforcers - which is what it was turning into in the 2000s - I'm happy to see it die

don't get me wrong, if the rules were changed so that everyone could tackle like that, I'd be on board
I just don't like seeing strikers and fullbacks sent off for mistimed tackles, while tough defensive midfielders get verbal warnings for the same thing because that's what they're expected to do

>>75834858
faggot

>>75834855
EBJT is the hard hits guy in the pairing, that is why PSG was horrible with him and T.Silva, 2 soft centerbacks never work

Casemiro
Dier
Lemina

>>75835173
i know. i was joking. the point was david luiz stepping out of the way while terry fought his battle for him

>>75835184
Delle Ali

>>75835240
Dele Alli is an attacking midfielder/second striker. He is not an enforcer, he's just a forward with 0 self-control.

Refs ruined a great fight this year already

>>75835040

Messi destroyed him

We almost got the Goon plot in this match but the refs fucked up

>Gabriel replaced with Felipe Melo in Palmeiras
>go to the biggest rival, Corinthians
>Corinthians are the ultimate under dogs

>The game starts , they immediately get into a scruffle after a dirty tackle

>some time later Gabriel is sent off from a ghost foul, not even in the second half

most disappointing thing this year

Granit "white bitch slapper" Xhaka

LEE LEE LEE CATTERMOLE

>>75836489
he's been pretty tame desu, I was expecting more aggression from him

Casemiro is the most alpha DM in the game

>>75835240
Too skinny to be an enforcer

>>75836486
Damn, that ref was a real porra

>>75836489
Fellaini is more of an ""enforcer"" than this mong. Xhaka just can't keep his cool.

>>75835138
I get your point but, honestly, I think it's the other way around. I lost count of how many times an enforcer was carded because of others' flops based purelly in their name and fame

>>75838146
Show these Yuroshits George Laraque or Chris Nilan. They were tough as nails

>>75834790
These kind of specialists are dead nowadays

playing dirty isn't so fun when you're at the receiving end it is it?

>>75839939
>walking on your opponent's leg

That's not how it works. Gattuso was not that.

Do you think I'm happy if I see one of my players do that?

What? No one has said anything about catenaccio and catenaccio has not been played for something like 30 years at least.

It seems like you mistake what efficiently defending in modern football is, defending in 11, with catenaccio.

You must have been watching shitty teams like south american teams or Real Madrid where attackers stay still at midfield.
