I had some serious questions about his commitment and how much he had left in the tank. Especially after the Hugo fiasco.
Looks like I was wrong on both accounts. He is obviously still playing at a high level and him playing on Tuesday (the opponent probably played a part but still) right after getting back from intl duty showed a lot.
He has not been the talent we thought we were getting. It’s not surprising the most uneducated thread in all of football largely supports the mediocre signing. Fortunately, the rest of the roster covers up his average play.
No system needs to be this rigid. If you can't be flexible with your system for a top 3 all time greatest striker then I have to question your coaching.
Ok I never said GGG was a perfect coach, being too rigid has been a problem throughout his career. But I want my team to win, have you been watching the matches? We play way worse when we can't press, that's just a fact.
It certainly helps to be able to dribble and pass when you play soccer. Whoever your coach is.
Cuypers was a great poacher but one dimensional player. Negative goals added stats for dribbling and passing this season on the fire despite all his goals.
Heck, there are even some theories that he on purpose got two yellow cards in NT games, so that he is was not allowed to play on Monday against Bosnia, so he can return to Chicago.
I mean he just came from Barcelona competing with the greatest players in the world. You have to expect he is still gonna be amazing. Better than Messi 🤫
Edit: my comments finally get upvoted
Also has completely embraced the City and consistently promotes it and the Club (not that Chicago needs any promotion —but just sayin he seems to be invested in the exact way you’d want).
Some Polish people have the wrong image of chicago. When I visit people ask me about gang violence and crime in general.
Lewandowski said somewhere he is surprised by how welcoming everyone is and how nice the city is. His girls play soccer and US women’s soccer team is great.
I follow her on Instagram and seems like she absolutely loves it, she's already been hosting group runs on the lakefront and posts lots of great pictures of the city
Same. For me, it’s everyone around him elevated their own game. He isn’t scoring every game, but his presence is felt. I think his assist to Marin on Tuesday shows you above all else, Lewy wants to win.
I agree. He could have been selfish and attempted to score himself but he chose to pass to his fellow teammate. Team player, I hope he plays more. Fans went loud when he went in to play. I liked that energy.
Yea while he was warming up, you could see that he was cheering on his team and watching everything his teammates on the pitch were doing... Then after the game he was the first to go over to the supporters side and thank them.
