WNDS 502 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Literally just ran the length of the pitch to stop a clear goal scoring chance for Peru.Cant get enough of this guy.He did it twice during the game.He was one of Brazil best players (as usual), and made a decisive contribution yet again.Neymar was awful, though. He was so consistently brilliant for Brazil before the Copa America, and I'm not quite sure what has caused this change in his performance level with the NT given that he's currently in wonderful form for Barcelona.

He is doing realy well for napoli and brazil is lacking good midfielders. Think with his agressivness and skill, he could be almost perfect CM for them.

the wes 7,212 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Chelsea youngster Kenedy has surprisingly named Willian as the most skilful player he’s played with in his career. The 19-year-old Brazilian made the move to Stamford Bridge this summer and has told the club’s official website how impressed he’s been with Willian in particular. Despite being at Chelsea alongside flair players such as Eden Hazard, Pedro and Oscar, Kenedy gave this response when asked to name his most skilful teammate: ‘I would have to say Willian, he’s a very talented player and has been very good this season.’ Kenedy also spoke about his desire to perfect the ‘elastico’ skill of Brazil legend Ronaldinho, though he was quick to point out that Willian does it well too. Asked what move he’s worked on most, he said: ‘The elastic skill which Ronaldinho was so good at, Willian also does it. ‘It’s when you put your foot on the ball, look to go one way and then go in the opposite direction.‘When I was young and playing with my friends that was the skill we always used to try to do.’http://metro.co.uk/2015/11/19/chelsea-forward-kenedy-names-willian-as-his-most-skilful-team-mate-5512800/?

Jase 43,479 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Willian is seriously inconsistent with his set pieces. How can he be so lethal in shooting directly at goal from a free kick but can't even deliver a decent into the box for someone else to attack? Some of his corners yesterday failed to beat even the first man! Despiadado.Maleante 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of his corners yesterday failed to beat even the first man! Next year I will celebrate my 50th anniversary as a Chelsea fan so I've been watching this game for a long while. During that period I've heard, and read, similar comments thousands of times but people don't need to be as old as me to have come across it. I've a feeling that, even if you've been a football fan for just a couple of hours, there's a fair chance you'll have heard, or perhaps said, something very much like this. Often the point is made in the form of a question. For example, "How hard can it be just to beat the first man?"Well, the clue to the answer can be seen in how frequently this issue comes up. Because fans need to complain about this so regularly it must mean that the answer is, "Much harder than it seems." How else can we explain the fact that professional footballers, of all clubs and nationalities, so often fail to manage it?

We're talking about something that can be improved in practice/training, not something that can only be done by a few footballers. I'm not saying that we have to score from every corner or free kick but the least a player should do is deliver the ball into the box without hitting the first man. If it only happens once every blue moon, then fine. But it has happened way too often and it's the same problem every time even with different takers - Willian, Fabregas, Oscar etc. It's absolutely criminal that you get a chance to score from a set piece and you can't even beat the first man! zolayes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
