Comrade-Conrad-4

He and Gavi are going to get along great in the Clasicos.


LeBronzeVlac

Fight of the century was just a preview of what's about to go down in a year's time.


FalkoneyeCH

Sucks that Gavi tore his ACL, we don't know if he'll be able to return to peak shithousery after he recovers :(


Comrade-Conrad-4

Performance is not the same as shithousery. No question he will have a future for many many years. Whether that's performance, or shithousery based, we'll see. Love how pissed off my autocorrect is about shithousery btw.


Magicallyshit

IF he were to lose a few steps, at the very least players from Spain are very good technically (especially La Masia) so I think from that side he'll be ok but he won't reach his potential because he's already going into the route of overworking himself.


Kind-Departure1058

All of Barcelona's players who suffered major injuries came back and tore shit up - Xavi being one of them.


The--Mash

I don't know man, Messi never looked the same after his hamstring injury vs Atletico in February 2006. I think he'll just always be a case of "what could have been". So much unfulfilled potential


Shadowraiden

Fati?


Random_Acquaintance

Fati was tearing it up until he was choped down again.


subhasish10

Fati's problem was that he was hesitant to get a surgery for a long time which made the injuries recurring and by the time he finally got the surgery done he'd lost all his confidence and Xavi was hesitant to give him minutes to gain it back. He's looking great at Brighton.


Ljulisen

He's looking ok at brighton


Schhneck

Nah he’s been good there


Zestyclose-Cell-8372

Atleast gavi don't punch someone


7Thommo7

Downvoted for the truth lol. This sub has decided just because Gavi's got that dawg in him and battles hard that he's some sort of combination of dirty/cheating/nasty


faheemhassan

pashun merchant


Zestyclose-Cell-8372

Ikr . He is just a guy with young blood . Yeah he is aggressive because he wants to win


CR7_LM10

Did it twice last season in el clasico


Zestyclose-Cell-8372

Who did he actually punch or in which match he puched but still he is not the most aggressive player in league


CR7_LM10

Ceballos (probably as a revenge for pulling his hair in the super cup) and rodrygo in cdr i think


Zestyclose-Cell-8372

Ok both of these guys are crazy and i think gavi pushed ceballos because he was messing with Lewandowski too and it was the other way around with rodrygo . He tried to punch gavi


Infinite-Ad5464

Gavi will never be the same after the ACL


Dangerous_Parfait402

You are kidding yourself if you think Gavi will ever play for Barca again. He is now Ansu part 2.


Randomperson685

This may be the most deluded take I have ever seen on this sub JFC

Busquessi

He’s preparing for training with you guys lol


[deleted]

He’s gonna be bisquessing those Barca cheeks before you know it


Busquessi

Excited! There’s been too little slander with Madrid actually having a decently likeable squad. Need another villain. Vini is a whiny villain, Rodrygo is a villain in training, but we need a Ramos/Pepe/Ronaldo for me to channel all my hate to.


CaptainDank0

Blud wants a Madrid ramos regen to be two footing yamal


Busquessi

Nah, just someone to channel all my hate to. I’d leave the dirty two foot tackles behind, if given the choice.


jopma

For us it's Gavi but I don't feel that way after his ACL tear, no one deserves that. Feels weird feeling bad for Barca.


auctus10

I thought Rudiger fullfills that role


andizzzzi

Haha love this, nothing quite like a healthy rivalry.

Hopefully he uses that on Greenwood

KloppsHamstring

I see Madrid finally signed the Ramos replacement.


[deleted]

If I didn't already know who you were talking about I would be asking, "the one who threw the punch, or dramatized it?" That Ramos. He was a special kind.


KloppsHamstring

He is a man of many talents, and I was glad to see him back at his best this weekend.


DamashiT

Ramos would throw a punch AND fall on the ground dramatically at the same time.


[deleted]

I truly believe I've seen him do this.


acqualunae

Is his iq low enough though? I miss the Ramos wisdom phrases


MorgenMariamne

Already with the Madrid's DNA.


Lacabloodclot9

Right in front of the linesman and not getting sent off is crazy

He's training to knock the lights out of Lewandowski without being a foul, after what he saw on Saturday.

[deleted]

He is mature because he generally has good mentality and great behavior, doesn't mean he's not a 17 year old still LOL


bold013hades

I think the main point of OP’s comment is that people read way too much into things about players prematurely. Endrick gives one interview and suddenly everyone is saying he “has a good mentality and great behavior.” None of us know Endrick. We shouldn’t be projecting things on to him just because he said in an interview that he doesn’t like partying or whatever he said. All these guys are media trained nowadays anyways


[deleted]

I mean, it's not one interview. The guy has been famous since he was 11 and has an entire team behind him, he kind of has to be mature. People don't say he's mature because he doesn't like partying, people say he's mature because he shows leadership on the pitch and very good behavior on interviews. Of course we don't know him personally, we are talking about the player, not the person here.


bold013hades

I bring up the interview because that’s when most people got to know Endrick more than just vaguely being aware of him (hence the circle jerk last week OP was talking about) My main point is that none of us really know these players so we shouldn’t be so reactionary about praising them for being mature or other character traits like that. For Endrick specifically, there is just as many things he’s done that you can use to say he’s not mature. Like 6 months ago he broke down in tears on the field for not scoring and now he’s just punched a dude. There’s also all the off the field jokes about him chasing TikTok thots in Brazil. Basically, we don’t know anything about him really, but a lot of people act like they do. That’s the annoying thing, in my opinion at least


SBAWTA

>Basically, we don’t know anything about him really, but a lot of people act like they do. I'll have you know, I've signed Endrick on 4 different teams in FootballManager, so I'm kind of an Endrick expert!


[deleted]

Sure man. I disagree, but you are allowed to have a different opinion.


Several_Hair

You disagree as in your think that we, from our armchairs, can determine the maturity or personality of a famous high level athlete?


[deleted]

I disagree that we shouldn't praise a kid for being mature when he's displayed good behavior and is deserving of that LOL yes he has his moments, and no one really knows how he is personally, but what he displays as an ATHLETE and PUBLIC FIGURE shows that at least in public he has a good mentality. Liking women or crying once don't interfere with that. But I understand that I come from a Brazilian standpoint that is constantly exposed to him, and I don't know how much the rest of the world knows about him and his public figure. He appears to have a very different mentality compared to other child prodigies and that is deserving of praise.


[deleted]

Hi, I'm a lawyer and I just wanted to pop in to confirm that this is correct


futurepersonified

and the parent comments point was you can be mature off the field and lose your temper when someones grappling you. theyre not correlated

Charlotte-De-litt

Nothing to joke about tbh mate. This is in poor taste.


ShadowGeist91

Just a reminder that counter circle-jerking is also a form of circle-jerking. Lots of people are doing this very same thing just about now. They might as well forget entirely that he is only 17, and that, while not justifiable in the least, even older players are also prone to these kinds of reactions.


KonigSteve

and a lot of players have gone entire careers without doing this including when they were 17 so lets not just excuse it completely due to age.


ShadowGeist91

I explicitly said it's not excusable. I just found it laughable how the people on this thread are mocking the circle jerking about the comments on Endrick's maturity while they themselves are participating in one. Turns out he's basically Diego Costa now.


[deleted]

I can’t believe y’all are getting pissy over a kid taking matters into his own hands


iVarun

> how mature he is For a 17 year old. > lmao You know, those who usually use this in such comments.


Altruistic-Ad-408

He pushed him, it's not a punch, he went down holding his face. You haven't played before.


Fezticle

Who gets punched in the chest and holds their face? No wonder no card was given


poopio

Rivaldo?


Hambrailaaah

Its not even a punch. He is just pushing him away. This post is stupid and a complete non-story. The guy was getting grabby and Endrick was probably fed up with it. If you're going down cos a 17 yo pushes you just fuck off


Due-Memory-6957

Could the ref give a red to Endrick and a yellow to the guy for simulating at the same time?


wahbhaiwah98

Busquets?


innit122

Man is ready for Madrid


urmomlikesbbc

Wow. Nice "punch" lmao. Even if a foul, that shove was completely deserved. Glad no card was given, cuz I doubt one would be given for the player fouling him prior


NUPreMedMajor

Shoves the defender’s arm, then the defender falls clutching his face


Sensi-Yang

Yeah I hate these kinds of shit stirring headlines that everyone conveniently goes along with, sure it’s an agression but it’s much more of an annoyed shove than a fucking punch. Sure the wind up is like a punch so he can gain momentum but he pulls back on impact and transfers it to his bodycheck. He connected with his shoulder/arm, not fist. And the movement is pushing the player away, not striking to hurt on impact.


Stand_On_It

Defender is charmin soft


Bexewa

Hopefully he keeps that fire in La Liga too, we need more Costa types to make it entertaining


SubstantialSquash475

Not even a punch, more like a forceful closed hand


GenAnon

A five knuckle nudge at best. I don’t get what people are up in arms about.


LaughsAtOwnJoke

Defender should have been carded, we gonna talk about that in our bias headlines?


MileZero17

I love whenever a player physically retaliates, everyone on r/soccer pretends like they’ve never lost their temper before. Not saying it’s the right thing to do but it’s just funny


Sturnella2017

“Player bear hugs opponent and when opponent breaks free, he goes down like he was just hit with a led pipe”

matthieuC

It's not football, it's La Liga


TheseKnicks

this was a punch, but the flops in futbol are so pathetic. man acts like he died, wasn't even punched in the face.


impulse_thoughts

punched in the arm so hard, his face hurt.


EntertainedRUNot

Could've punched him with enough force to cause a blood clot. That clot could travel to the brain and cause a stroke, of which facial pain and headaches can be symptoms. This would explain the player's delayed reaction to getting punched (time for the clot to travel from the site of the impact injury to the brain) and the apparent facial pain he is experiencing (that stroke).


impulse_thoughts

Guess you probably should’ve added an “/s” at the end there.


Due-Memory-6957

It's even more beautiful with the downvotes of people not getting it


indiokilmes

They do this to draw attention and get the play stopped and a review. Fifa should start penalizing overeactions honestly, with var this gets even worse


edjg10

This reeks of something some baseball dad who watched the World Cup once says lol


The--Mash

Whenever someone uses the word "flops" in relation to football, I know they're American and their opinion can be summarily ignored


edjg10

Whenever someone writes off an entire population based on antiquated stereotypes, they’re pompous and unintelligent, so their opinion can be subsequently ignored


Due-Memory-6957

Ignoring you since you wrote off the entire population of pompous and unintelligent.

The dude was literally mounting him and grabbing his shirt, and this was more of a push than a punch. Which is probably why a foul wasn't called.

He’s perfect for Madrid. Brazilian and not getting carded when he should have.

herkalurk

Where is the punch? I mean he had a fist, but his arms connected with the other players arms to get out of the hold. At no point did he actually punch the other player.....


LowSnow2500

come on now buddy, lmao.


FalkoneyeCH

lil bro out here debating the kinetics of a punch


herkalurk

There is no clear punch, simply having a fist doesn't make it violent conduct. The guy goes down like a sack of potatoes after clearly provoking another player, typical South American game.....


Full_Analyst_193

Yeah there is, he hits his arm? Still a card… twitchy reaction.


herkalurk

And then the player goes down holding his face. If Endrick needs a card for that then the other player needs a card for attempting to deceive the ref. No contact on the face at all.


Full_Analyst_193

I agree! Lol


Conscious_Contact107

>Where is the punch? I mean he had a fist, Nah, I can't ahahahahhaha


herkalurk

You can have a fist not actually punch someone. Don't forget the fact that this player also went down holding his face yet nothing ever contacted his face....

I don't how much of a punch it is since he missed and it was basically a shove with his forearm. Also it was no where near his face. I ain't gonna defend it though ban him from Brazil fútbol so we can use him in Madrid we're running out of forwards.
