Forget O!

I love Sesko's play so much. He plays like a one-touch midfielder when he drops deep. He has awareness of his teammates (although makes bad decisions sometimes) and his distribution is impeccable. He knows how to pass, short and long.

His work rate is crazy insane. He presses the goalkeeper of the opposition, along with the opposing defenders and defensive midfielder.

He sometimes drops deep to defence to defend and good at defending corner kicks.

He is just 21 years, meaning he can still be tactically shaped. And, he is also very fast. A big guy like Haaland that can carry himself.

No doubt sir, you aptly captured all his great qualities. Can press, can run, Big guy, very strong, I will put him where I put Darwin Nunez, they can do everything but score.

Sesko is just 21 years. His finishing can be refined with the right training.

I like Nunez, I like him gan, but the guy is strange... He will lose clear cut chances, but will score the harder one.


I think they don't make the stone cold killer strikers no more. Now we have good all round attacking players that can do all things but score.

Jesus, Havertz, Jackson, Hujlund, muani, G ramos, etc.

Definitely, he is not bad at all, I love the way he beat Pepe with that push. Even at 40, Pepe is hard as nail.

Play everywhere but can’t stay anywhere

Joao Cancelo's natural position is Right back, and his natural foot is his right foot.

Mujtahida:

Does Klopp play possession football? Yes. Does he play tiki taka? No!

Samba was a joyful, exhilarating possession style of football. Was it tiki taka? No!

Tiki taka is that mechanistic, atomized style of football where passes more than an any other aspect of the game predominate.

Every kind of possession football is tiki taka. Pep's team is too good that's why they hold possession for so long even in attack. Cause they can. It's not necessarily a style but a consequence of exceptional teamwork.

What you're calling tiki taka is simply high-level ball retention that only exceptional teams can reach. That's why man city can have ball possesion of 75%. Liverpool cannot do that.

Once again, there's no playing style like samba football. All these things were invented by the media.

Lastly, football modern football is mechanistic and these doesn't have to do with tiki-taka. Football is much more difficult now than the earlier days and take-ons are more difficult to achieve. Many old generation players will not be able to repeat today what they did in their days but that's a story for another time.

I disagree with your first line. I also disagree with your statement which conveys the idea that samba is not a style of football but a media creation.

I agree with JohnBullMySon 's tactical theory. Off every team working under the modern tactical philosophy can be classed as TIKI TAKA. This is due to them working to keep control of the ball. Maybe interpretation of space to attack can lead to varieties of setup but the general aim is the same.

As he pointed that the strength and setup of the opposition can affect possession but if the team have the factors in their favor, they end up playing heavy possession football.

The Champions League game between Atletico Madrid and Liverpool shows this.

Which kind incongruent thing are you guys saying? When did possession football begin? When did tiki taka begin? Is samba tiki taka?

Football that we've been watching, right before our eyes you guys want to foist an ahistorical narrative on us. Abeg go sell this narrative to Gen Z. Not me. I have a fair knowledge of the history of football for you to say this kind of utter nonsense.
